Young drivers pay higher car insurance rates primarily due to their lack of experience. Teen drivers and drivers in their twenties will pay substantially more to insure a Ford Ranger than a driver in their thirties or forties.

Rates tend to drop as you age, so you can expect slightly more favorable rates until you hit about age 65. At that point, rates generally tend to start increasing, but some companies do offer senior discounts for completely driver safety training.

The deductible you choose for you policy can either save you money on your policy or when you have a physical damage claim, but not both. If you want a cheaper policy, choose a higher deductible. But just be aware that you’ll pay more out-of-pocket at claim time.

The cheapest model of Ford Ranger to insure is the XL Crew Cab at an estimated $2,072 per year. The next cheapest trim is the XLT Crew Cab at $2,154 per year, and the third cheapest trim level to insure is the XL Crew Cab 4WD, also at $2,162 per year.

For higher trim levels, the three highest cost Ranger trim levels to insure are the Ford Ranger Lariat Crew Cab, the Lariat Crew Cab 4WD, and the Raptor trim levels all at an estimated $2,432 per year.

With most vehicle models, when the vehicle MSRP increases as options are added, insurance policy cost generally increases as a result. The rate table below displays average insurance rates for annual and 6-month policy terms, including a monthly budget amount, for each 2024 Ford Ranger trim level.

Does the Tremor package increase the cost of insurance?

As a $4,290 add-on package, the Tremor Off-Road package is available on XLT and Lariat Ranger models and could increase the cost of car insurance slightly. Most drivers would see at most a 5% annual increase, with pricing dependent on how each car insurance company rates the Tremor package.

With the XLT and Lariat SuperCrew models averaging around $1,600 per year for insurance, a 5% annual increase would put the extra cost of insurance for the Tremor package at around $80 per year. Again, that would be the maximum amount of extra premium.

The Ranger Tremor is one of our favorite new off-road models, as it gives an extra 0.8 inches of ground clearance, an extra 2.2 degrees of approach angle, and an extra 2.7 degrees of break-over angle. Not to mention the extra “toughness” of the Ranger appearance added by the 32-inch A/TX tires and steel front bash plate and underbody skid plates.
