Back and Tougher Than Ever: the 2019 Ford Ranger

July 12th, 2018 by

In 2019, truck enthusiasts will celebrate as Ford resurrects its renowned mid-size pickup: the 2019 Ford Ranger. After a 7-year hiatus, the Ranger is back and ready to ride. Here’s what we’re most excited about:

Built Ford Tough® DNA

The Ranger shares a heritage of toughness, durability and capability derived from over 100 years of Ford’s relentless focus on engineering excellence. The 2019 Ranger has undergone Ford Tough testing, braving rigorous conditions including shakes, bumps and rough weather. This ensures that squeaks and rattles won’t ruin the thrill of an off-road journey. Ford even tested the new Ranger in the Australian Outback, where its capabilities withstood the 100-degree heat.

Amped-Up Technology

2019 marks the first time that the Ranger will offer auto start-stop technology. This feature helps reduce fuel emissions by shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stopped in traffic. When the driver lifts their foot off the break and moves it toward the accelerator, the truck is ready to go in an instant. Don’t worry—the radio and air conditioning stay on during auto-start stop, and the feature can be turned on or off based on driver preference. And it isn’t just about efficiency—there is so much more that the Ranger can do. FordPass™ turns the Ranger into a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices, and it can be accessed up to 50 feet away from the vehicle.

The Ultimate Adventure

The Ranger has the toughness and capability to leave civilization far behind—because adventure begins where the road ends. With the available off-road package, the truck will have all the gear to take you on a thrill ride, including upgraded tires, a front bash plate, upgraded off-road suspension and frame-bolted skid plates. The Ranger offers the same terrain management capabilities as the Ford Raptor, incorporating four distinct drive modes for different scenarios. These off-road specific driving modes offer extra traction and control on trails and hills.
