2019 Ford Ranger Power and Capability Ratings
People who love Ford midsize pickup trucks have had to wait eight long years, but their patience is about to be rewarded in a big way with the upcoming release of the all-new 2019 Ford Ranger. Thankfully for those excited about that news, Ford hasn’t been sitting on its hands since discontinuing the Ranger lineup eight years ago. Instead, Ford has taken the time to improve the Ranger lineup in every conceivable way, designing and engineering the 2019 Ranger lineup to offer the same best-in-class features and capabilities as the 2019 Ford F-150 lineup and the 2019 Ford Super Duty lineup. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the power and capability ratings of the 2019 Ford Ranger lineup – which are, as you probably already figured out, best-in-class.
