The release of new model year vehicles is a highly-anticipated time for customers and enthusiasts alike. It’s always insightful to compare previous iterations of the vehicle in order to see what has changed and improved over the years. For the new Ford Ranger, the improvements will be significant.
After a lengthy production hiatus, the Ford Ranger is returning with a new 2019 model. The midsize pickup will be virtually unrecognizable from its previous iterations, completely redesigned with Ford toughness and dependability at the forefront. With the pickup arriving soon, the company announced that the Ranger will be leading its class in payload, torque, and towing capacity.
After such a long hiatus of production, and with midsize pickups continually growing in popularity, it was very important that the Ranger return strongly. With these class-leading statistics, it appears that the pickup has accomplished its goal. This pickup emphasizes tough, with a 1,860 pound maximum payload, and 7,500 pound towing capability.
The new Ranger is uniquely strong, able to out tow its competitors, while also sporting 310 lb.-ft. of torque. With a 10-speed transmission and a 270-horsepower engine, the Ranger is the result of a very powerful set of combinations. Redesigned and built Ford Tough, the new 2019 Ranger is set to lead its class once it starts production in the next few months.
