During Press Days at the 2018 Detroit NAIAS, on Sunday, January 14, 2018, Ford Motor Co. unwrapped the Brand New 2019 Model Ford Ranger.
Ford is answering the consumer’s seemingly insatiable appetite for Pickup Trucks by introducing a reinvented, affordable, rugged, and maneuverable mid-size pickup that is Built Ford Tough, and torture-tested alongside Ford F150 Pickup Trucks. The Ranger comes with a High-Strength Steel Frame, a 2.3L EcoBoost engine and class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission.
Production of the 2019 MY Ford Ranger will begin late this year, and will be built at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant.
The Ranger will come 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.
The FX4 Off-Road Package introduces all-new Trail Control technology. Like cruise control for the highway but designed for low-speed, rugged terrain, where 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 for the is distributed through Dana AdvanTEK independent front and solid rear axles on both 2WD and 4WD models with an available electronic-locking rear axle (standard on FX2 and FX4) for increased all-terrain traction. Ranger four-wheel-drive versions feature 2-high, 4-high and 4-low.
