Ford Ranger XLS Reviews, Specs & News

FROM

$30,140

The 2021 - 2025 Ford Ranger XLS is currently priced from $30,910.

Our most recent review of the 2025 Ford Ranger XLS resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: The Ranger XLS is a good-looking, comfortable (for four adults) and competent all-rounder, that combines the lower pricing and work-focused practicality of the XL with some upmarket bling and optional prestige paint colours (like our test vehicle’s metallic 'Sedona Orange') that make it look a cut above the base grade.
