The All-New 2019 Ford Ranger

After an eight-year break, fans are excited to hear that the Ford Ranger is back on dealer lots. Since it disappeared from showrooms back in 2011, the highly anticipated new Ranger is built for adventure, with plenty of capability, power, and innovative technology. Let’s see what’s in store for the 2019 Ford Ranger.

Engine Performance

When it comes to the all-new Ranger’s powertrain, Ford is keeping it simple with one available engine. Under the hood is a beefed up 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four that’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Fortified for truck duty, this new aluminum EcoBoost offers forged crankshaft and connecting rods, and a double-roller timing chain. This durable powerhouse delivers 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Plus, this truck also offers best-in-class towing of 7,500 pounds and can transport 1,860 pounds of payload.

Exclusive Exterior Styling

For the newly released Ranger, expect it to be much larger than its counterparts. This mid-size pickup runs about the same size as the F-150 and is available with a choice of cab styles, including the extended SuperCab and the four-door SuperCrew. However, it has one wheelbase, so the bed lengths depend on which cab you choose.

The new Ranger features re-designed headlights, grille, taillights, and a taller hood on the upcoming Ranger. Plus, it touts class exclusive steel bumpers, directly mounted to the frame for superior durability and added crashworthiness.

Advanced Tech

Ford didn’t skimp on the new Ranger’s available tech features. Get the innovative FordPass Connect, which provides 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity for up to 10 devices, a Bang and Olufsen Play premium audio system, and Ford’s exclusive SYNC 3 multimedia package.

Have a seat in the cockpit and discover two different available gauge clusters. One features traditional gauges, while the other offers a Ford-style central analog gauge surrounded by two configurable display screens. Where the 10-speed transmission’s rotary control selector should be in the center console, you’ll find a sportier lever.

Comfortable, Durable Interior

The base Ranger XL and XLT trims offer dash and doors covered in easy to clean hard plastic, while the top Lariat trim gets a faux-leather padded dash topper. You can also choose from one of two interior colors, ebony and medium ash.

Under the SuperCrew’s second row seat, you’ll find waterproof storage. This space is ideal for stowing away muddy or wet gear. Just tilt the seat bottom up, and drop the mess in the convenient bins.

Safety Features

The new Ranger will offer the same basic safety systems as the rest of Ford’s lineup, including standard forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning. Upgrade to available blind spot alerts, automatic cruise control, and LED taillights with trailer coverage.

For added safety and convenience, store up to three trailer profiles in the system. Based on the length of the trailer, the Ranger automatically extends the blind spot detection system to the perfect distance
