2026 Ranger Build & Price Configurator is Live

It looks like you can order the advanced towing package with or without the technology package,

either way it should delete the technology package

I was looking at Lariat not XLT as it is included with the Lariat

I think a better question might be why does the tech package exist on the lariat build page? Its contents are included in the base 500A package.

And the Canadian website is still the 2025 model, might be up and running by June

Still not sure what to think about the ActiveX deal on Lariat.


ActiveX is a synthetic seating material used in Ford vehicles, designed to mimic the look and feel of leather while offering enhanced durability and ease of maintenance.
What is ActiveX?
ActiveX is a high-end synthetic material developed by Ford to replace traditional leather in many of their vehicle models. It is engineered to provide a luxurious feel while being more durable and easier to clean than leather. ActiveX is made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly alternative to animal-based leather.

Is it really all those things or is it just marketing spin to put a cheaper material in the seats?

So its old fashion vinyl as far as I am concerned. Yes, probably easier to keep clean than leather, and probably won't stretch as bad lol. But this is the reason I went with a high end all the bells I could on the XLT and I am happy I did. If they optioned out a Lariat with cloth, that would work, but the ActiveX in all the past models feels like crap,. cheap crap at that, so why pay for what is not leather, but they want you to think it is as good! It is not, it is synthetic crap. But hey, to each his own. The inserts in my prior RR were no better!

Also, I am not really crazy about the new BAP look.
I like the looks of my 25 Lariats a lot better.

My 2025s
Just like the cleaner look to the 2025s.

That is probably because the 2025 design looks more like my Raptors.

Also, if you just order the "Trailer Tow Package" and then try to add the standalone "Trailer Brake Controller" option, it removes the Technology Package. Dear Ford: why the heck does adding a trailer brake option make you remove Adaptive Cruise & 360 degree camera (Technology Package)?

They do a nice job with the website, etc., but they don't get it that people who ORDER trucks need to know these details. So basic.

The image generator is a bit off. Or these are going to look weird.
Note on the Lariat BAP.
Front fender lip moldings are black the rear are body color.

It's like "Corinthian Leather," except it is a premium vinyl made from luxurious recycled plastic bottles.

No Tremor package?

because you can get the towing package, 53r

or the advanced towing package which includes the towing package 67p

and the latter with the technology package. 67g

when you add the brake controller to the towing package it converts it to a advanced towing package. Which is what it is.

so if you want the towing package and integrated brake controller, and technology package

you order the advanced towing package with technology package. 67g

i agree this could be more clear.

Fx4 went down about $250 offset by destination charges going up $300.

At some point during the '25 model year run they dropped the price of the FX4 package but at the same time split out the running boards and charge something like $700 for them. The net result was a $400 or $500 increase for people who ordered the fx4 with running boards. My early '25 lariat build is about $2,395 higher now (msrp).

Not yet wait for it. I think it maybe a 2027 model. Took them around 3 years to put it on the Maverick. Here's hoping most of options on Maverick also come with the Ranger. Hoping they don't nickel and dime us to death.
