Even though it’s on sale in the United States, Ford hasn’t published the fuel economy for the 2019 Ranger. But thanks to a member of the ranger5g.com forum, we know the SuperCrew 4x2 with the five-foot box returns 23 miles per gallon on the combined cycle.
Make that 26 mpg out on the highway and 21 in the city. These are best-in-class numbers for the mid-size pickup truck segment, besting the Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and Honda Ridgeline. If the Ford Motor Company were to offer the 2.0-liter EcoBlue turbo diesel in the United States, chances are the Ranger could’ve impressed twice.
Speaking of impressive, the 310 pound-feet of torque is also best in class, which goes to show that the Ranger is both show and go. The window sticker published on the forum also reveals the content the XLT. The second trim level slots between the XL ($24,300) and Lariat ($32,210), and the highlights are SYNC touchscreen infotainment, Ford Co-Pilot360, FordPass Connect 4G Wi-Fi modem, and the 17-inch wheels.
Equipment Group 302A adds dual-zone climate control, sliding rear window with defroster, and remote start. The Trailer Tow Package, on the other hand, retails at $495 regardless of trim level of drivetrain option.
"Ranger has always held a special place in the hearts of truck fans," according to Hau Thai-Tang, executive vice-president of Product Development and Purchasing. "The all-new Ranger is designed for today's mid-size truck buyer, delivering even more utility, capability, and technology for those who blend city living with more off-the-grid adventures on weekends."
Even though it's based on the European and Australian models, the Ranger for the U.S. is unique in lots of areas, including the high-strength steel frame. Ford put the Ranger through the same torture testing as the F-150, which stands true to the Built Ford Tough promise of the full-size pickup truck.
There’s no manual available, with Ford choosing to offer the 10R80 from the get-go. Developed in collaboration with General Motors, the 10-speed auto has a final drive ratio of 3.73:1. Four-wheel-drive models feature a transfer case with 4-High (1:1 ratio) and 4-Low (2.717:1).
