Plus $1,095 for the destination charge, the 2019 Ford Ranger starts at $24,300 in the United States of America. The pricing and some of the options aren’t exactly official, with the automaker taking the U.S. configurator down after the motoring media reported on the subject.
Speaking to Jalopnik, an official with the Ford Motor Company argues that the listings weren’t entirely correct. “There will not be a regular cab Ranger and pricing shown is inaccurate. Build and price will officially go live next week," the spokesman said, so bear in mind that we’re just scratching the surface here.

Even if the regular cab is a placeholder for the web developers as they work on the configurator, the website shows the super cab at $24,300 in XL flavor. Key features include the 2.3-liter EcoBoost with auto start/stop technology, cloth-wrapped bucket seats, 16-inch steel wheels painted in silver, and an AM/FM audio system with four speakers. Of course, rear-wheel drive comes standard along with the 10-speed automatic transmission co-developed with General Motors.

The super crew is also featured, starting at $26,520 and jumping to $30,115 for the XLT. The Lariat, meanwhile, is $34,385 in this body style. As a rule of thumb, the super cab is $2,175 cheaper across all three trim levels. Adding four-wheel drive to the Ranger adds $4,000 to the price, translating to $38,385 for the super crew Lariat before looking at other optional equipment.

STX Appearance Package ($995) brings 17-inch alloy wheels and fog lamps to the XL, whereas option package 101A ($2,130) adds cruise control, power-folding mirrors, and SYNC 3 infotainment. For the off-road enthusiasts among us, the $1,295 FX4 Package is just what the doctor ordered. An e-locking rear axle, skid plates, terrain management system, trail control, bodyside decals, front air dam delete, tow hooks, and off-road suspension are included.

Checking every box available in the options list takes the price up to $46,000 or thereabouts, which isn’t bad at all for a mid-size pickup truck with all the bells and whistles imaginable. The Colorado ZR2, by example, starts at $40,360. In regard to starting price, the Colorado is cheaper than the Ranger yet the best-selling Tacoma starts at $25,400 plus destination.
