An all-new Ranger will be back as a 2019 model.

Ford has announced plans to bring back the Ranger. Production begins late this year at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant.

The 2019 Ford Ranger boasts a new exterior design, chassis and powertrain developed specifically for North American truck customers. It will be powered by a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

“Ranger has always held a special place in the hearts of truck fans,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford executive vice president, Product Development and Purchasing. “The all-new Ranger is designed for today’s midsize truck buyer, delivering even more utility, capability and technology for those who blend city living with more off-the-grid adventures on weekends.”
