Production begins late this year at Ford’s Michigan Assembly
Plant as customer demand is growing for midsize trucks. U.S. sales
are up 83 percent since 2014 as a new generation of midsize truck
buyers seek more maneuverable, fuel-efficient pickups.
The 2019 Ford Ranger answers the call with an all-new midsize
pickup featuring a new exterior design, chassis and powertrain
developed specifically for North American truck customers. Powerful
and strong, with a high-strength steel frame, Ranger is equipped
with a proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine mated to the only 10-speed
automatic transmission in the segment.
“Ranger has always held a special place in the hearts of truck
fans,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford executive vice president, Product
Development and Purchasing. “The all-new Ranger is designed for
today’s midsize truck buyer, delivering even more utility,
capability and technology for those who blend city living with more
off-the-grid adventures on weekends.”
Ranger comes in entry-level XL, mid-level XLT and high-level
Lariat trim series with available Chrome and Sport appearance and
FX Off-Road packages, and in SuperCab or SuperCrew cab
configurations.
Built Ford Tough
Built Ford Tough is engineered in Ranger’s DNA – from its
high-strength steel frame backbone to its frame-mounted steel front
and rear bumpers. Ford engineers put Ranger through the same
torture testing as the legendary F-150 goes through.
Even its design is tough. Ranger’s muscular body features a high
beltline that emphasizes strength, while a raked grille and
windshield provide an athletic appearance – designed to aid in
aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. Short overhangs are functional
off-road for clearing obstacles.
From the rear, the Ranger nameplate stamped in the tailgate
conveys strength, and the tailgate itself is designed to handle
people and cargo. A rugged steel bumper with an available
integrated trailer hitch receiver helps make towing campers, ATVs
or watercraft a breeze.
Inside, Ranger blends comfort and functionality with room for up
to five people, their gear and accessories. A center stack includes
an 8-inch touch screen for the available SYNC® 3 system, while the
instrument cluster features dual LCD productivity screens for
real-time vehicle, navigation and audio information.
Ranger’s twin-power dome hood houses its 2.3-liter EcoBoost
engine designed for efficiency and capability thanks to direct fuel
injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger and 16-valve design. For
added durability, the engine features a forged-steel crankshaft and
connecting rods, and chain-driven dual overhead cams.
“Ranger’s proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost provides a torque target on
par with competing V6 engines, but with the efficiency of a
four-cylinder,” said Thai-Tang. “When you pair that with its
10-speed transmission, you’ve got one of the most versatile,
powerful and efficient powertrains in the segment.”
Adventure-ready
Ranger is designed for a new generation of midsize truck
customers who head off-road to recharge.
Ranger prioritizes ground clearance to help climb over off-road
obstacles. The FX4 Off-Road Package provides additional trail
capability with off-road-tuned shocks, all-terrain tires, a
frame-mounted heavy-gauge steel front bash plate, frame-mounted
skid plates and FX4 badging.
To give customers a great all-terrain driving experience,
Ranger’s FX4 Off-Road Package features an innovative Terrain
Management System™ similar to the F-150 Raptor’s. It includes four
distinct drive modes – normal; grass, gravel and snow; mud and
ruts; and sand. The system can shift on the fly to automatically
change throttle responsiveness, transmission gearing and vehicle
controls to tailor traction, driveability and performance to any
given terrain or weather condition.
The FX4 Off-Road Package introduces Ford’s all-new Trail
Control™ technology. Like cruise control for the highway but
designed for low-speed, rugged terrain, Trail Control takes over
acceleration and braking – sending power and braking to each
individual wheel to allow drivers to focus on steering along the
course.
Power is distributed through Dana®AdvanTEK® independent front
and solid rear axles on both 2WD and 4WD models with an available
electronic-locking rear differential (standard on FX2 and FX4) for
increased all-terrain traction. Ranger four-wheel-drive versions
feature 2-high, 4-high and 4-low.
Innovative technology
Ranger incorporates smart driver-assist, passenger convenience
and connectivity technologies. Advanced driver-assist technologies
include standard Automatic Emergency Braking, while Lane Keeping
Assist, Lane Departure Warning, a Reverse Sensing System and
class-exclusive Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage
are standard on XLT and Lariat trim levels. Additional
driver-assist technologies standard on Lariat include Pedestrian
Detection and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Available SYNC® 3 features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility, Ford+Alexa personal assistant functionality and
optional navigation. An available FordPass™ Connect 4G LTE modem
provides Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices. Available AC power
outlets allow for charging of laptops and USB outlets provide more
options for passengers to connect. Available B&O PLAY premium
audio is specially tuned for the Ranger cab to deliver a rich and
engaging listening experience.
Additional features include optional LED headlamps and
taillamps. Optional exterior lighting includes puddle lamps and
lighting for the cargo bed, while Ford’s available Smart Trailer
Tow connector alerts drivers to faulty trailer connections.
