How to Prepare Your Car for an Arkansas Summer

If you need a capable truck with compact dimensions, the 2025 Ford Maverick and the 2025 Ford Ranger are two of your best options. The Maverick has a city-friendly design and is perfect for daily driving. The Ranger is more powerful and a better choice for rugged off-roading. This guide from our Ford dealership can help you decide between the two. more Powertrain Options Designed for daily driving, the Maverick is an efficient truck powered by a 2.5L hybrid engine paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. This system provides 191 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, as well as outstanding EPA estimates. A 2.0L EcoBoost engine with 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque is available, together with four-wheel drive. The Ranger comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. This powertrain generates 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, providing more muscle for heavy tasks. Two EcoBoost V6 engines and four-wheel drive are available, so you can easily tailor the power output and capability to suit your needs. Towing and Utility Each truck is ready to tow and haul loads, but the capabilities vary from one model to another. The Maverick is a small truck with a standard towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. An optional package boosts the towing capacity to 4,000 pounds, and you can also haul up to 1,500 pounds. One of this truck's unique features is its capability to be towed with all four wheels on the road. The Ranger is engineered for heavier tasks and has a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds. Its maximum payload capacity is 1,788 pounds. Front tow hooks are standard on the 4x4 models for easy recovery. Size and Handling As a small truck, the Maverick is easier to handle across the city. It has a length of 199.8 inches and a width of 72.6 inches, which means it can fit in most parking lots where you can park a three-row SUV. The Ranger measures 210.6 inches in length and has a width of 86.7 inches. Its wider stance improves the stability in rough driving conditions. Interior and Comfort Both trucks have spacious cabins with seats for five riders. The Maverick boasts a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat and a four-way manually adjustable seat for the front passenger. The Ranger also comes standard with manually adjustable seats, but with eight positions for the driver and six for the passenger. Each truck has a three-passenger rear bench with under-seat storage and fold-flat backrests. The Ranger boosts passenger comfort with a flip-up rear armrest.

Leasing benefits at your Ford dealership mean you can save money and build a customized lease agreement that works for your lifestyle. Certain lease agreements come with perks, such as GAP protection. See how a Ford lease can be personalized to fit your budget today. more Red Carpet Lease Offer Ford makes it easy to customize your lease agreement with the Red Carpet Lease. This versatile lease agreement allows drivers to select lease terms and mileage limitations that meet their needs. You can select larger annual mileage limitations with a longer-term lease and the freedom to buy your leased Ford at the end of your lease agreement, or you can choose smaller mileage limitations with a short-term lease if you don't plan to drive much. The Red Carpet Lease comes with additional perks, like complimentary GAP protection to cover the difference between the remaining value of your vehicle and insurance coverage if your car is stolen or totaled beyond repairs. With this lease agreement, your monthly payments are typically much lower than they would be if you financed your vehicle with an auto loan. Personalized Lease End Deals Ford gives you several options for how to close out your lease agreement. If you want to get a new Ford vehicle, you can visit your dealer to settle any outstanding fees for mileage and excess wear, then trade your current vehicle for a new model on the same day. To trade up for a new model, your current Ford will need to be inspected, and you will need to visit your dealership before the end of your lease term. You can purchase your leased Ford with payment arrangements like an auto loan or a lump sum payment. If you buy your current Ford vehicle, you can skip the vehicle inspection and fees for excess mileage or damage. However, you will need to pay upfront costs like sales taxes and fees for the title, license, and registration to finalize your vehicle purchase. Affordable Monthly Payments Leasing a Ford is also a great way to save money on your monthly vehicle payments. Many drivers can save a few hundred dollars per month on lease payments when compared to auto loan payments, which is ideal if you're on a budget. The affordability of your lease payments can also be customized by your lease terms. If you are comfortable with higher monthly payments, you can choose a short-term lease that lasts for two or three years. If you want to drive your leased Ford for three or more years, you can choose a longer-term lease and significantly lower your monthly lease payment. Keep in mind that your credit score may influence your monthly lease payments, so you may want to clean up your credit before visiting your dealer to get the best deal. Personalizing your lease agreement means you can select terms that work for your long-term car ownership goals, whether that means building equity toward your new vehicle or having the freedom to trade up for a new model whenever you want.
