2019 Ford Ranger XLT for Sale in Southfield, MI
It has been almost a decade since Ford answered the call from truck customers who are looking for an affordable, rugged, and maneuverable midsize pickup that’s Built Ford Tough. As the New Year rolls in, the call has been heard and answered with return of the legendary Ford Ranger.
Ford Ranger XLT
First released in the United States and Canada as a compact pickup truck, the Ranger became the basis for many popular Ford trucks and SUVS, including the Ford Bronco as well as the first two generations of the Ford Explorer and the first-generation Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
Despite its popularity, Ford ceased the production of the Ranger in 2011. After a rest of eight years, the Ranger is driving out of the grave to become a strong new choice for midsize truck fans. One of the most popular new trim levels is the mid-level 2019 Ford Ranger XLT, which is more capable, comfortable, and offers more technology than ever before.
More Capable Than Ever
The new and improved Ford Ranger XLT is more capable than ever thanks to its high-strength steel frame and frame-mounted steel front and rear bumpers. Put through the same torture testing as Ford’s most popular Ford F-150 model, this Ranger model’s muscular body features a high beltline that emphasizes strength, while a raked grille and windshield provide an athletic appearance – designed to aid in aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. A rugged steel bumper, with an available integrated trailer hitch receiver, also helps make towing campers, ATVs or watercraft a breeze.
The FX4 Off-Road Package also provides serious off-road equipment like tuned off-road monotube shocks, off-terrain tires with aggressive tread, traction enhancing electronic-locking rear differential and an exposed steel front bash plate. This Off-Road package also features an innovative Terrain Management System with four distinct drive modes – normal, grass, gravel and snow – as well as all-new Trail Control technology, which takes over acceleration and braking for situations like highway or rugged terrain. Inside, a cluster screen provides feedback on pitch and roll plus steering angle.
The Ranger also includes a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine designed for efficiency and capability thanks to direct fuel injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger and 16-valve design. For added durability, this engine features a forged-steel crankshaft and connecting rods, and chain-driven dual overhead cams. As Ford’s vice president of Product Development and Purchasing, Thai-Tang mentions this truck is one of the most versatile, powerful and efficient powertrains in the segment.
“Ranger’s proven 2.3-litre EcoBoost provides a torque target on par with competing V6 engines, but with the efficiency of a four-cylinder,” said Thai-Tang. “When you pair that with its 10-speed transmission, you’ve got one of the most versatile, powerful and efficient powertrains in the segment.”
Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology
Like most new Ford truck models the 2019 Ford Ranger XLT also offers the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technologies that will assist you in the navigation of increasingly crowded roads and highways with greater confidence thanks to features like the Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and coverage for both a truck and trailer, Lane-Keep and Pre-Collision Assist and a Rear-View Camera.
Additional technology features include Ford’s easy-to-use, responsive voice-activated SYNC 3 system that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. An available FordPass Connect 4G LTE modem also provides Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices. Available AC power outlets even allow for charging of laptops and USB outlets provide more options for passengers to connect.
