What's New For The 2019 Ford Ranger?

The 2019 Ford Ranger has been missing from the auto industry since 2011 but has made its debut and features modern styling that is sleek. The vehicle has 8.4 inches of ground clearance, which makes it easy to drive on different roads where piles of snow or dirt may be present. The Ranger is known as a midsize pickup truck that features a 2.3-L EcoBoost Turbo 4-cylinder, which offers more torque than similar V6 engines in its class.

The truck features a more aggressive look with its exterior styling and was designed in Australia. It now features steel bumpers, large tow hooks, and sharp headlights that look intimidating. The car is created for urban dwellers who need a reliable vehicle for their commute but also want to go on a few adventures on the weekend. The truck is also easier to park in tight spaces compared to its predecessor.

In the cabin, drivers will find a more luxurious and stylish setting with chrome accents present on the dashboard. A touchscreen infotainment system comes standard on the dashboard and makes it easy to adjust the settings. More space is available in the car, which allows tall passengers to ride comfortably in the back. Heated and leather front seats increase the overall comfort in the front. A soft-touch toupee has also been added to the dashboard without as much hard plastic that is present.

Which Trim Levels are Available for the 2019 Ranger?

The trim levels that are available for the 2019 Ford Ranger include the XL, XLT, and Lariat trim levels. Two- and four-wheel drive is available, along with extended-cab and full-crew body styles for those who want a selection. Drivers can choose between 16, 17, and 18-inch wheels. One engine is available, which is the second generation 2.4-L turbocharged Ecoboost 4-cylinder engine.

2019 Ford Ranger Has Strong Performance

The turbocharged engine under the hood offers 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, which proves to be competitive for its class. Rear-wheel-drive with a 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard. The vehicle has excellent tuned steering that makes it easy to drive in the city. The towing capacity is also impressive with 7500 pounds that can be towed or 1,860 pounds in the bed. The truck is also more fuel-efficient than previous models and gets 23 mpg in 2wd trucks and 22 mpg in the 4x4s.

The new suspension is well-dampened and provides a smooth ride when driving on winding roads or are driving over potholes.

Those who upgrade to the FX4 off-road package can take advantage of a sturdy skid plate that is constructed out of steel to reduce the risk of damage under the vehicle. The package also includes extra underbody protection and tow hooks. The truck even stands out in its class for its simple powertrain menu.

Safety is a Top Feature of the 2019 Ranger

The new Ford Ranger proves to make safety a priority and features a Terrain Management system that allows the vehicle to have plenty of traction on grass, mud, snow, and sand to ensure that the truck is versatile for different driving situations. ABS, stability, and traction-control settings are standard with throttle and transmission mapping that is available. Many different driver assistance features are designed to compensate for mistakes that are made when sitting behind the wheel and include blind-spot monitors with trailer coverage, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning and assist.

The all-steel body of the new Ford Ranger also allowed it to perform well in crash tests due to its durability. Visit us today to take a test drive and find the new vehicle of your dreams.
