You’ve heard the phrase “Built Ford Tough,” and that applies to more than just the well-known F-series. Today, the team at Friendly Ford is throwing some appreciation to a few more of Ford’s popular pickups, so read on to see how the 2022 Ford Maverick and the 2021 Ford Ranger stack up against each other.
If you’re in the Geneva, Canandaigua, or Rochester, New York, area, come visit us—we don’t go by “friendly” for no reason. We’ll get you behind the wheel of both these Ford pickups so you can make sure you’re making the best choice for you!
When it comes to a pickup truck, the first thing you’re going to look at is the kind of power it has under the hood. The 2022 Ford Maverick has two available engines and is the first of the Ford models to have a hybrid engine as a standard engine, while the 2021 Ford Ranger has one available engine.
Here’s a chart comparing the powertrains of both models:

Ranger |

As you can see, both trucks have plenty of power under the hood, but if you spend a lot of time towing, then the 2021 Ranger might be the right choice for you. On the other hand, if you prefer skipping the usual stop at the pump, you might want to take a closer look at the 2022 Maverick.
Another big difference between these two pickups is that the 2022 Maverick only has one cab option, while the 2021 Ranger offers three. Because the 2022 Maverick comes with both a hybrid and an internal combustion engine, there are also some differences in legroom.
We’re put together this chart so you can get all the information to compare them according to your needs.

As you can see from the chart above, while the 2022 Maverick has more headroom, the 2021 Ranger will let you stretch out a bit more with more front legroom. But the best part? It all comes down to what you want.
You don’t buy a Ford pickup to blend into the crowd—you get a Ford so you can do the hard work and look good while doing it. So, when it comes to either the 2022 Ford Maverick or the 2021 Ford Ranger, you have plenty of options to make it your own.
Both pickups come in three trims and to make it simple, they even have the same trim names: XL, XLT, and Lariat.
When it comes to customization, the 2022 Maverick has 10 exterior color options and two when it comes to the interior upholstery.
On the other hand, if you prefer more interior options, than the 2021 Ranger has three upholstery options but only eight exterior colors.
You can’t go wrong with a Ford pickup, and either the 2022 Ford Maverick or the 2021 Ford Ranger would look great in your driveway. It all comes down to what you want because there’s an option for just about everyone.
So, if you find yourself in the Geneva, Canandaigua, or Rochester, NY, area, come visit us at Friendly Ford or contact us to schedule a test drive—or two.
