Ford Reveals 2019 Ranger Concept Trucks At SEMA Show

It’s the first day of the 2018 SEMA Show, and Ford has gone all out with adventure-oriented concepts based on the Ranger. Put together by Ford Performance and Ford Accessories, these workhorses are joined by more than 50 other on exhibit, including an F-150 Lariat Sport 4x2 SuperCab with 1,000 horsepower from a twin-turbo upgrade.

Turning our attention to the Ranger, the Pre-Runner builds on the FX4 Off-Road Package and 3.73 electronic locking differential for ultimate capability off the beaten path. Fox shock absorbers and a three-inch lift kit are also included, along with BDS upper control arms, cat-bat exhaust system, and BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires.

The 2.3-liter EcoBoost-engined concept features redesigned front and rear bumpers, illuminated Rock Slider side steps from Addictive Desert Designs, LED light bar and underbody lighting. The Rotopax FuelpaX fuel can system and swing case from Undercover completes the list of modifications.

Next up is the Base Camp, which is similar to the Pre-Runner but also different to a certain extent. The A-pillar snorkel from Ford Performance, Slim Shady awning, heavy-duty rack from Outpost, and Skinny Warrior roof basket make this concept an interesting choice as a bug-out mobile.

The Xbox Ranger from Addictive Desert Designs and Project Ranger X from BDS Suspension are even more extreme, although these trucks all share the four-cylinder turbo and ten-speed automatic transmission of the bone-stock pickup truck. The Baja-forged Ranger combines military style with off-road prowess, and the Airdesign USA Ranger is meant for both on- and off-road driving.

Last, but certainly not least, Project Nightfall looks like it came out of the Halo franchise thanks to the vivid green detailing over matte grey. According to Ford, this fellow is the perfect complement to the Ranger’s return to the United States.

Based on the European model, the mid-size pickup for North America “has been developed and tested to the demanding standards of Built Ford Tough.” Pricing starts at $24,300, with the XLT and Lariat coming in at $27,940 and $32,210 for the SuperCab with the 6’ box.
