2025 Ford Ranger

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Ranger.

Transmission Automatic (S10)

The 2025 Ford Ranger is the subject here, a model-year entry defined by its Automatic (S10) transmission and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 21/26/23 mpg. In the reliability record, it has drawn 28 owner complaints to date, with the leading concern area reported as Power Train, Vehicle Speed Control, and Engine, alongside 13 recalls. Against the model’s 1990–2020 complaint history—where complaints peaked at 818 in 1999 and bottomed at 1 in 2014—the 2025 total sits well below the historical high, though the powertrain concentration and recall count make it a year to monitor rather than dismiss.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 200,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 200,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record shows complaint volumes peaked in the late 1990s, then declined steadily through the 2000s, reaching lows of 1 complaint in 2014‑2017. After that nadir, complaints rose again to 260 in 2019 and fell to 121 in 2020, indicating an upward trend in the most recent years available. No complaint, recall, investigation, or TSB figures are supplied for the 2025 model year in the provided dataset. Consequently, the data does not specify where 2025 falls within the complaint/recall arc or any root causes for issues that may exist. Without specific 2025 federal safety data, a concrete assessment of whether this is a good year to buy cannot be drawn from this record alone.
