2026 Ford Ranger Lariat Review | The Everyday Raptor

The 2026 Ford Ranger Lariat is Ford's premium midsize pickup, but is it worth stepping up from the XLT? In this full review, I take an in-depth look at the exterior, interior, technology, comfort, performance, and real-world driving experience to help you decide if this is the right truck for you. We'll cover: • Exterior walkaround • Interior quality and technology • Cargo bed and storage • Engine performance and driving impressions • Ride quality and handling • Fuel economy expectations • Towing and capability • Pros and cons • Final verdict The Ranger Lariat offers premium features while still delivering up to 7,500 lbs of available towing capacity, available 4WD, and the latest SYNC 4 technology, making it one of the strongest contenders in the midsize truck segment. Would you choose the Ford Ranger Lariat over the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, or Nissan Frontier?
