Design
Returning to North America after an eight-year hiatus, the 2019 Ford Ranger measures 17 feet, 7 inches in length and almost 6 feet tall. The standard SuperCab Ranger comes with a 6-foot bed, while the extended SuperCrew model features a 5-foot bed.
In a standard configuration, the vehicle seats four people. If you opt for the SuperCrew, you get enough room for five people as the back row is more adult-friendly. Taller travelers benefit from the decent head- and legroom, and the full-size doors allow for easy entering and exiting.
In the front, the seats are well-bolstered to keep travelers comfortable on long drives. In addition, the high seating position gives you an excellent view of the road ahead. Although four-way manually adjustable seats come standard, you can upgrade for eight-way power-adjustable seats that are also heated. When it comes to upholstery, you can select regular or premium cloth, vinyl, or leather.
Performance
Although it only comes with one engine option, the 2019 Ford Ranger comes with impressive towing and hauling capacities. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but you can upgrade for four-wheel drive. When properly equipped, the vehicle tows up to 7,500 pounds, which is among the leaders in its class. Payload capacities range from 1,560 to 1,860, depending on the truck’s configurations. If you’re seeking the best payload and towing capacities, select the Ranger with the SuperCab and rear-wheel drive.
Engine Specs
The 2019 Ford Ranger’s one available engine, a turbocharged 2.3-liter, four-cylinder EcoBoost, produces 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine offers more power than the base engine of many of its rivals, but keep in mind that other compact pickups have additional options, including V-6 and diesel powertrains. The Ranger also comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Safety Features
To keep you and your travelers safe, the 2019 Ford Ranger comes with a variety of safety features. Standard features include a rearview camera and pre-collision system, which has forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. It also comes standard with Ford’s MyKey system, which lets you set speed and volume settings for secondary drivers.
Optional safety and driver assistance features include front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, driver attention monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.
After an eight-year hiatus, the 2019 Ford Ranger makes a bold statement in its return by offering a completely revamped design and class-leading performance If you’re interested in learning more about this compact pickup truck, reach out to the professionals at Jack Madden Ford Sales Inc.
