The New 2019 Ford Ranger Makes Its Return to North America

The Ford Ranger is back! It’s been seven years since the compact pickup made its debut and seven years of Ranger fans asking for its return to North America. Since its successful performance in foreign markets, Ford developed a truck that would return to North America. The 2019 Ford Ranger was finally unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and will go into production later this year.

During the recession in America, the F-150 was the big moneymaker while the Ranger’s sales continued to drop. It wasn’t soon after that Ford decided to discontinue this model and focus their attention on the F-150 and other SUVs. Now with truck and SUV sales on the rise, and truck fans asking for its return, it’s not a surprise that Ford has finally brought the Ranger back.

“The 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.”

This 2019 pickup will have a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission—no manual option just yet. When you pair these two together, you’ll have one of the most versatile, powerful, and efficient powertrains in the segment.

The Ranger will always be ready for adventure. The FX4 Off-Road Package will feature the Terrain Management System, similar to the Raptor’s, with four drive modes—normal, grass, gravel and snow, mud and ruts, and sand.

With advanced driver-assist technologies, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, a Reverse Sensing System, and class-exclusive Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage, you’ll always feel safe and in control.
