The midsize Ford Ranger returns for the 2024 model year with some impressive features that allow drivers to enjoy longer days at a campsite, work site, lakeside, or wherever. As your local Snellville Ford dealer, we here at Loganville Ford are excited to show you all the cool and helpful features of the 2024 Ford Ranger.

This midsize marvel has long been a favorite among DIYers, contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and off-road thrill seekers. It’s tough, capable, reliable, and comfortable. We love the thoughtful features found throughout the revitalized 2024 model, as it was clearly designed for the driver who wants to enjoy longer hours on the road or in the wilderness.

If you’re someone who needs to be at a remote work site from sunrise to sunset, then you know how limiting it can be to be away from the modern comforts and technology of the home office. The 2024 Ranger has been made with hard workers like you in mind, providing features that make long days a lot easier. Wilderness adventurers who want a more efficient way to enjoy overnight stays will likewise appreciate the features of the 2024 Ranger. With this nimble beast, you won’t have to head home any earlier than you want to.

In-Bed Outlet & In-Cabin Power

If the backdrop to your days is a lot of dirt, trees, and nature and not a lot of desks or printers, then you need an alternative way to power up your devices. The 2024 Ford Ranger has you covered there with several clever power features.

First off, in the bed, you’ll find an outlet delivering 400 watts of power. DIYers and adventurers should be able to handle most of their power needs thanks to this outlet. With it, you can power an air pump to inflate those dirt bike tires before your next big trek up the trail, prepare that raft for a long day on the lake, or ready that inner tube for some speed boat trawling.

You can also use this outlet to power a small refrigerator, enabling you to keep food and beverages cool during camping trips or long days on a work site. That means you can say goodbye to lugging a cooler full of ice to your destination and hoping the cubes don’t melt too quickly. Having a refrigerator is also essential for contractors or adventurers who take daily medication that requires refrigeration.

Campers and workers can use the 400-watt outlet to power external lights for better visibility once the sun goes down, too. You can even use it to charge your laptop, so you can keep up with emails at your work or camping locale—or to stream a movie beneath the stars.

Inside the cab, you’ll find USB ports for charging your devices while driving; and if you hate the look of cords in your driver’s center, a wireless charging dock is available for compatible devices.

Zone & LED Bed Lighting

Contractors and similar professionals will appreciate the LED bed lighting in the 2024 Ranger for those times when the sun begins to set before your day’s work is done. This will brightly illuminate the bed, so you can safely continue to use your tools and finish your tasks. As for campers and adventurers, you’ll enjoy its ambient lighting for your midnight revelry or post-hike lay-down in the truck bed.

The 2024 Ranger also has zone lighting, illuminating strategic areas around your truck’s exterior. This makes it easier to safely get in and out at night and provides an illuminated range to get work done or to prepare or pack up your gear after a long day outdoors.

If you spend most of your time away from home or the office, having to drag portable lights with you can be a pain. These thoughtful lighting features of the 2024 Ranger can alleviate you of that stress and struggle. While available on lesser trims, zone lighting is standard on the Lariat and Raptor trims.

Smart Navigation & Tech

The 2024 Ranger gets the best-in-class SYNC 4 system, which boasts an advanced navigation system. This nav not only shows you several route options to get to your destination with turn-by-turn directions, but it also provides some other helpful data points for your journey; you can see other places of interest near your destination, like coffee shops when you need a pick-me-up, gas stations when you need to fuel up, or rest stops for when nature calls.

SYNC 4 will also tell you what the weather will be upon your arrival, so you can know if you need to cover up those not-so-water-resistant tools in the bed or if you should change that dinner reservation from the patio to the dining room. One of the coolest things about SYNC 4 is its advanced voice recognition system; it understands a casual conversational tone, so you can ask it for directions, traffic updates, and more without inciting the incessant “I’m sorry, I didn’t get that” response that plagues inferior voice systems.

There’s also a Wi-Fi hotspot available on every 2024 Ford Ranger, so you can stay connected while you’re away from your home or office. Of course, if you turn it off and tell your boss you “didn’t get that email” so you can extend your outdoors siesta, that’s up to you.

Underseat Cargo & Fold-Flat Seats

If you transport valuable items like power tools, laptops, speakers, and similar gear, keeping them safe on the road can be a challenge; this is especially true if you won’t always be within sight of your vehicle. Luckily, the 2024 Ranger has rear under-seat cargo to conceal your valuables. Now, if anyone peeks in your truck while you’re far up the mountain or out on the water enjoying a swim, they won’t see your most important belongings.

The rear seats also fold flat for those times you need to store larger items but would rather keep them inside the cab instead of exposed in the truck bed. Being in the great outdoors doesn’t have to mean leaving your belongings exposed, thanks to these thoughtful storage features.

Enjoy Longer Days With the 2024 Ford Ranger

If you prefer to enjoy your life away from the confines of four walls and a roof, then you know how quickly you can find yourself needing all sorts of supplementals—and planning ahead for “everything” is a huge ask. When your office or playground is in the great outdoors, it’s nice to have some modern comforts with you so you don’t have to shut operations down just because the sun goes down.

Ford designed the all-new 2024 Ranger around those people who spend extended time outdoors. With its thoughtful charging features like a 400-watt outlet and USB ports, you can still use many of the indoor appliances you enjoy at home, like laptops and refrigerators, away from home. Thanks to strategically-placed lights in and around the vehicle, you can still see what you’re doing, even after the sun goes down. And with the advanced SYNC 4, you can access the information you need wherever you are.

We here at Loganville Ford would love to show you the diverse trims and engine options available for the 2024 Ranger and help you pick out the perfect midsize pickup for your future endeavors in the great outdoors.
