The Power and Performance
Power for the Ranger comes from a 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. It delivers 270 horsepower, will get 310 pound-feet of torque, and works with a 10-speed automatic transmission that precisely shifts through the gears for a smooth ride no matter what type of road you’re on. If you need to bring a camper or boat on your adventure in the Ranger, it can tow up to 7,500 pounds and handle a payload of up to 1,860 pounds.
The FX4 Off-Road Package
Ford built the Ranger with advanced terrain technology, so you are ready no matter what you come up against. The FX4 Off-Road Package comes with four selectable drive modes. Choose from normal, sand, grass/gravel/snow, or mud and ruts. Once you choose, the system will automatically provide the traction you need to get the most out of your Ranger.
The Ranger also has enhanced traction. The electronic-locking rear differential will completely lock the axle at both wheels at the same time. This ensures that you get the traction you need when you drive off-road.
Trail Control
The FX4 Off-Road Package also comes with trail control. This system is essentially a cruise control system for off-road terrain. It manages the throttle control and the braking so the driver can focus on the steering when hitting challenging terrain. Drivers can activate Trail Control when traveling at speeds from 1 mile per hour to 20 mph. It helps you get up and over steep obstacles by automatically getting the correct amount of torque to each wheel and then braking as you get to the top and come down over the other side.
The Safety Features
No matter where your travels take you, the Ranger will help get you there safely. This pickup truck comes with several advanced safety features, including forward collision warning and automatic braking as part of the pre-collision system. It also has a rearview camera and Ford’s MyKey system. Some of the optional safety features include automatic high-beam headlights, rear cross-traffic alert, a blind-spot monitor, and both lane departure warning and lane-keep assist. You can also get adaptive cruise control and a driver attention monitoring system.
The Comfortable Cabin
Inside, the Ranger has room for four or five passengers depending on the cab. The seats have bolstering to keep you in place and to keep you comfortable, and the driver sits up higher for a good view of the road. The Sync infotainment system comes standard with the option for Sync 3 and an 8-inch touch screen.
The 2019 Ford Ranger has features and equipment that will make any driver happy behind the wheel. It can go off-road without a problem and handle on-road driving with ease. Stop by and take your favorite Ranger for a test drive.
