2019 Ford Ranger: What's New in Boone, NC

While the Ranger brings back memories of good times in a classic flatbed, the brand-new 2019 edition fits right in to what everyday drivers need. Simply picking up where Ford left off with the last Ranger - last made for the 2011 model year - just wouldn't do it for what drivers from Mountain City, North Wilkesboro and West Jefferson need. Arriving right around the turn of the calendar, the new 2019 Ranger will not only be capable for lighter hauling and towing than what you'd need a full-sized truck like an F-150 for, but will offer modern safety features, handy tech systems and all sorts of amenities that you'll like having with you along for your travels.

2019 Ford Ranger Performance and Capabilities

The new 2019 Ranger will be available in a couple cab setups with a few bed lengths offered, as well as three different trims. One thing that remains the same no matter the style and setup you choose, is the capable turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For a midsized truck, that's the perfect blend of everyday driving sensibilities with enough capability to handle towing and hauling that matches up with other popular pickups in this segment.

2019 Ford Ranger Safety and Technology

Like most of the new Ford models you'll find here in Boone, what really makes the newly released Ranger so special is the wealth of features and options you'll have. Even with an abundance of features available, Ford smartly keeps the base trim of the Ranger sparsely equipped, which is great for drivers who simply want a fun and capable truck without all kinds of sometimes distracting bells and whistles. For everyone else, the two higher trims - the XLT and Lariat - offer a wide range of handy features.

One feature that is standard in the 2019 Ranger is an automatic emergency braking system with forward collision warning. From there, higher trims add the likes of blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and lane keep assist in the XLT trim. For other handy features, you'll have a standard rearview camera, with the two higher trims adding a keyless entry, front and rear parking sensors, a touchscreen command center, smartphone integration and more.
