Heavy-Duty Work

Our Ford car dealership in Lafayette suggests starting your vehicle comparison with the truck's main purpose: hauling items. In this case, the Ranger offers a lower towing capacity at 7,500 pounds across all trim levels.

If you want considerable towing power, the F-150 is the clear winner. Depending on the trim level, you have up to 19,500 pounds of towing capacity.
 

Agility

Trucks don't drive like small cars, but you can find some agility with the Ford Ranger. This truck has a better turn radius than the F-150, which allows you to drive it a bit better in a dense city. U-turns aren't a struggle with the Ranger.

Think of the F-150 as a tool for the road instead of a car ride. It offers strength and size but doesn't have agility in tight spaces like the Ranger.
 

Exterior Dimensions

Take a look at our truck inventory to instantly see the size differences between the Ranger and F-150. Consider these exterior dimensions, such as:

• 211 inches long and 78 inches wide for the Ranger
• Up to 250 inches long and 87 inches wide for the F-150

Most F-150s won't fit in a standard garage, whereas the Ranger has that storage option.
 

 

Interior Limitations

Our Ford car dealership in Lafayette suggests choosing the F-150 if you want more interior space. Depending on the trim level, four people can sit comfortably inside. The Ranger isn't a full-size truck, which means the cabin will be considerably smaller.
 

Fuel Economy

Neither truck is designed to be a commuter vehicle. With this fact in mind, both trucks have fuel economy lower than 30 miles per gallon. The Ford Ranger, however, will give you better fuel economy than the F-150. If fuel consumption is a concern, turn to the mid-size Ranger.

From size differences to amenity choices, both the F-150 and Ranger have their advantages and disadvantages. Narrow down your selection by comparing your needs to the vehicles' features. The right choice will make itself known as a result.
