Price, features, specs By Tim Esterdahl Published: 2024-12-28T00:36:34+00:00 Updated: 2026-08-19T16:13:36+00:00 ![Featured image]() I bought a 2024 Ford Ranger Lariat for one of our next long-term review trucks to see how much we like or hate it after a few years. ## **Why a 2024 Ford Ranger Lariat** First and foremost, I still have a [2025 Ram 1500 RHO]() on order as you might recall if you follow this outlet closely. Second, I decided to have my wife drive a midsize truck while I drive a full-size truck to broaden the outlet’s appeal. Third, the new Ford Ranger has outperformed videos and articles about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. I opted not to buy a Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Frontier or a Honda Ridgeline since none of those trucks have had substantial changes over the years. Now I did want to buy an XLT, however, we were told there is a nationwide stop sale on that trim due to a safety issue. Turns out it is just on the Ford Maverick. I didn’t want to buy an XL nor did I want to buy a Ranger Raptor. I wanted to stay with a trim level people would mostly be shopping for when looking for a new Ranger. ## Engine, price and color for the 2024 Ford Ranger Lariat Our 2024 Ranger has the 2.3-liter inline 4-cylinder twin-turbo EcoBoost engine under the hood. This engine produces 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. There is a 2.7-liter V6 twin-turbo EcoBoost engine as well that produces 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That engine wasn’t available in the trucks my wife and I were looking at in the color she liked. The Ranger is in Velocity Blue Metallic exterior color and has the 500A equipment group. It came with the all-weather floor mats, the advanced towing package, an integrated box side step, a spray-in bed liner and a vehicle safe-center console Our sticker was $51,370, and with our trade-in plus some discounts, we were out the door for roughly $55,000 with taxes included. We purchased this truck from [Ken Graff Ford]() in Cheyenne and they took really good care of us.
