The once beloved Ford Ranger has been missed by mid-sized pick-up truck lovers since 2011, but it has finally made its return to the US market. We just received our first one, an XLT trim level, at Loveland Ford! Ford did a great job modernizing this truck for 2019, both inside and out. Under the hood is a 2.3L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, which produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft torque. The 4WD version has just shy of 9 inches of ground clearance, while the rear wheel drive version has 8.4 inches. Both versions of the truck have electronically locking rear differentials. The 4×4 keeps the front diff open.
The truck is built for off road enthusiasts with a terrain management system that allows the driver to select mud and rut settings, sand settings, or snow, grass and gravel settings. Based on the setting you select, the system will automatically adjust the ABS system, throttle, traction control and stability.
The 2019 Ranger offers many of the Ford safety features you’ve come to know and love, including lane departure warning and assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitors that even have trailer coverage. Speaking for trailers, with the tow package option, the Ranger is rated to haul 1,860 lbs in the bed or tow 7,500 lbs.
Stop by this weekend to check it out and take it for a spin. Act fast and you could be the first to own the all new Ford Ranger!
