2019 Ford Ranger

The Ford Ranger for the USA market is eagerly awaited model by all true lovers of Ford vehicles. Finally, Ford Company announced the big news. After a short pause, this model will be returned in the USA dealerships. According to Company, this model will arrive sometime in 2018, as 2019 Ford Ranger USA. They also announced a lot of improvements in every department, as well as a lot of new features. Because of all of the above, people from Ford expects good sales. Actually, they hope that they will continue where they left off. Follow the next review, and you can learn something more about this remarkable truck.

As we mentioned above, the design of the upcoming 2019 Ford Ranger should change by quite a bit. Even though the truck received a small update recently, the US market will get a rather different model. This is expected to become a sportier truck, similar to what the Colorado is to the Silverado. Expect it to get a reworked front end, a slightly raked bed in order to give it some aggressive features as well as wider wheel arches. Some even suggested that the Ranger would be the perfect candidate for a Raptor-like small truck that would directly compete with GM’s upcoming ZR2 Colorado.

Here there is going to be just as much space as in the European version of the truck. However, it seems that the design will change slightly. The truck will benefit from a bit more features in the base model such as air conditioning, electric windows, mirrors and seats. Also, the materials, at least on the top end model, will be extensively improved. Some rumors suggested that its dashboard’s design will be influenced by the F-150 which would make it a bit more utilitarian than the European model.

According to most rumors, the 2019 Ford Ranger is going to feature a 3.2 liter inline 5 turbocharged diesel. Even though this engine has been around for some time on the International model, it has been on the US market for a short amount of time in the Transit. Here it makes 185 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque which is comparable to GM’s 2.8 liter inline 4 unit. The inline 5 has proven its reliability in numerous cases and it is expected to be installed in the Ranger with a few upgrades. These should make it a bit more efficient and it should give if a small boost in power as well. The engine is expected to develop around 10% more torque than in the Transit.

This won’t be the only offering though. The US model is also expected to feature two different petrol engines. The base truck will receive a 2 or 2.3 liter turbocharged inline 4 offering around 250 horsepower and over 270 lb-ft of torque. The top end petrol engine on the other hand has been rumored to be a V6. At this point it still is unclear if it will be Ford’s 2.7 liter unit or a naturally aspirated 3.5 or 3.7 liter V6. In any case, it will make around 300 horsepower and close to 300 lb-ft of torque. A manual should be offered across the range while a six speed automatic, or even Ford’s 10 speed unit, will be an option.
