Advanced New Tech Systems Featured with the 2019 Ford Ranger

A lot has changed since Ford’s last foray into the midsize pickup truck class. Back then, all you needed to do was create a truck that was equal parts powerful and capable. Nowadays, your truck still needs to be powerful and capable, but it also needs to be efficient, safe, and packed to the brim with advanced new technology, comfort and convenience features. Ford has already been massively successful at doing just that with the 2018 Ford F-150 and the 2018 Ford Super Duty lineups, and now it’s looking to continue that success with the all-new 2019 Ford Ranger. That’s why we decided to check out some of the best advanced new tech systems featured with the 2019 Ford Ranger. Read the rest of this entry >>
