After being gone from the North American market for eight years, the Ford Ranger makes its return to the market for the 2019 model year.

This new version of the midsize pickup that we love offers us the size, qualities, and features that we want when it’s time to drive. With a name we know and love, this new Ranger will have to be something special if it wants to take some of the market share from the GM twins, the Honda Ridgeline, and the Toyota Tacoma. It seems this new truck has what it will take to be a top competitor right away.

The Stuff You Need in a Midsize Truck

You don’t buy a midsize truck to do truck stuff every day, you buy it to do truck stuff sometimes. Even so, the 2019 Ford Ranger is offered with a powerful engine that can tow up to 7,500 pounds and bring you the capacity you need to carry the load. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a ton of technology features that make it easy for you to have the connectivity and qualities you want when you’re ready to have a great drive.

This New Ford Ranger is Ready

The beauty of the returning Ford Ranger to the market is the fact this truck has been active in other markets since it left the North American market. This truck comes back with active safety systems, a ton of qualities you want, and the drive that makes a lot of sense for you. Whether you admire the powertrain, the different cabs and beds offered, or the fact that you can fit five people inside this truck, this can be the perfect midsize pickup truck to have the drive you’re looking for when you head out on the road.
