2019 Ford Ranger Reviews SummaryEveryone is talking about the all-new Ranger, but there’s just one problem: It’s not all new. The last Ranger was a staple of Ford’s lineup, but it was pulled from North America in 2011, although it’s remained on sale elsewhere in the world ever since. Refreshed for 2015, it’s now returned to the US and Canada to contend with the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, the GMC Canyon, and the Toyota Tacoma, which haven’t exactly been relaxing during the Ranger’s absence. So, how does the Ranger intend to insert itself back into this already well-established midsize pickup category? Price and power. While the Colorado and the Tacoma both offer multiple powertrain options, Ford is leaning into its recent penchant for simplicity, offering a single engine and transmission: its 2.3-litre EcoBoost paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. | |
