2019 Ford Ranger

Ford brought the Ranger back in 2019 after a long absence from the American market, and it returned better than ever. This 2019 Ranger XLT SuperCrew in Lightning Blue Metallic is a perfect example of why mid-size truck buyers have been clamoring for exactly this kind of vehicle. Big enough to work, small enough to live with every day, and packed with more technology and capability than any Ranger that came before it. At $25,500 and 69,092 miles, this is a competitively priced, well-equipped example of one of Ford's best recent products. Lightning Blue Metallic is an electric, eye-catching color that suits the Ranger's athletic stance perfectly. The SuperCrew body style gives you a full four-door configuration with enough rear legroom for adult passengers â a meaningful upgrade over the SuperCab setup. The 5-foot bed hits the sweet spot for a mid-size truck buyer: big enough for a full sheet of plywood, small enough to parallel park in Ann Arbor. Under the hood, the 2019 Ranger is powered exclusively by Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder â and in this application it's a revelation. 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque from a four-cylinder engine gives this Ranger performance that embarrasses similarly-sized trucks from competitors. The 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission extracts maximum efficiency and performance from the EcoBoost engine, resulting in a driving experience that feels more athletic than utilitarian. The FX4 Off-Road package (verify on build sheet) is commonly equipped on XLT Rangers and adds locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, underbody protection, and a terrain management system with selectable drive modes. These additions transform the Ranger from a capable truck into a genuinely off-road-ready machine that can handle Michigan's two-track trails and unpaved roads with confidence. Inside, the SYNC 3 8-inch touchscreen connects to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping your music, navigation, and calls integrated. SiriusXM satellite radio fills the cab with entertainment coast to coast. Heated front seats are a welcome feature through Michigan's extended cold season. The interior is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed â a significant step up from the previous-generation Ranger that this model replaced. Ford's trailer tow package provides everything needed to hook up and haul â hitch receiver, wiring harness, and the trailer brake controller prep. The Ranger is rated to tow up to 7,500 pounds in XLT guise, which covers the full spectrum of recreational trailers, small boats, and utility loads. The reverse sensing system and rearview camera make parking this truck in tight urban environments significantly more manageable. At 69,092 miles the Ranger has already proven its reliability through real-world use and has the majority of its service life still ahead. Come drive it â you'll understand the appeal immediately.
