The mid-size truck segment is competitive. The 2026 Ford Ranger doesn’t just compete — it shows up with serious intent.
For drivers in Princeton, Illinois, that means a pickup sized perfectly for daily driving but engineered to handle real work, real weather, and real weekend adventures across the state.
This is the Ranger many have been waiting for.
Performance That Feels Effortless
At the heart of the lineup is the available 3.0L EcoBoost V6, delivering 405 hp and 430 lbs. ft. of torque. That’s strong output for a mid-size pickup, and you feel it immediately — confident acceleration, strong passing power, and the muscle to tow up to 7,500 lbs.
Hauling equipment to a job site outside Princeton.
Pulling a camper down I-80.
Loading up ATVs for a weekend trip.
The Ranger handles it without hesitation.
Available 4WD systems and advanced suspension tuning give the truck real composure on gravel roads, muddy job sites, and uneven trails throughout Illinois. It feels planted, controlled, and capable.
Technology That Works as Hard as You Do
The 2026 Ranger blends toughness with modern intelligence.
Available Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology includes features like:
- Lane-Keeping Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Information System
These systems add confidence during highway drives or busy commutes through Princeton.
Inside, the available 12-inch center display paired with SYNC keeps navigation, media, and vehicle settings intuitive and responsive. Connectivity features, including an available Wi-Fi hotspot, make it easy to stay productive between stops.
This is mid-size capability with full-size confidence — digitally speaking.
Interior Comfort Meets Practical Utility
Step inside and the Ranger feels purpose-built, not bare-bones.
Supportive seating, smart storage solutions, and a thoughtfully designed layout make long drives easier. With 43.5 cu. ft. of cargo volume in the bed, you’ve got space for tools, gear, or weekend supplies without compromise.
Outside, the Ranger’s stance is unmistakably bold. Strong body lines, athletic proportions, and trim-specific details give it presence without excess.
It’s rugged. It’s clean. It looks ready.
