 What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Goldpony and today we are in the new 2019 Ford Ranger courtesy of Bob Ruth Ford and Dillsburg PA and so you guys probably know the Ranger was available in the US quite a few years back now but the Ranger has been continuously available overseas in Europe Australia and Ford has now brought it back to the US so this is quite exciting so let's just jump right into it and as always let's start with pricing and so there will be three different trim levels for the 2019 Ranger first one being the XL that is going to start at $24,300 XLT for $27,940 then we have the Lariat which is the one we have today that one is going to start at $32,210 and there will be two different cab configurations for the Ranger first one being the super cab which is those prices that I just gave you if you wanted the super crew cab which is a little more backseat room there that is going to add $2,175 there but so regardless of trim level the power plan is actually going to be the same on the 2019 Ranger powering this one is going to be a 2.3 liter turbocharged inline four cylinder engine putting out 270 horsepower 310 pound-feet of torque and I do want to also mention with the towing package that we actually do have today once again the Ranger is capable of towing up to 7,500 pounds so it is definitely impressive for a smaller truck but so anyway Ranger is going to be available either with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and power is going to be sent to the ground through a 10-speed automatic transmission and overall MPG numbers are going to come in at 21 in the city 26 on the highway for the two-wheel drive and 20 city 24 highway for the all-wheel drive and by the way the Ranger does come with that auto start stop system as well meaning when you're stopped at a red later stop sign the engine will automatically turn off for you to help you save a little mpg is there as well and you can turn that off if that does annoy you so I did want to mention that as well and so but anyways now that we are on the back roads let's do an acceleration test here see how quickly we can get the new 2019 Ranger up to speed all right so turbocharged engine definitely you could feel the kick when that turbo kicks in it definitely lunges you forward you can definitely feel that but not going to be as fast as a Mustang but for a smaller truck definitely a good bit of pep to this one and so but acceleration is fun but really when you test driving a truck or when I'm test driving a truck what I always like to know about is the off-road capability so let's touch on that a little bit for the 2019 ranger here to start you will get a forged crankshaft with connecting rods and a double roller timing chain and there is also an FX4 off-road package if you were interested that adds around $1300 to the price there but that is going to give you an off-road tuned suspension along with the electronic locking rear differential and exposed front towpulks up front there in addition to that you also get an exposed steel bash plate also a front air dam delete for when you take this through streams and pa here that's definitely pretty cool and you will get some skid plates as expected including covering the fuel tank transfer case and front differential but also a terrain management system you could check out your off-road status on the digital display and then you have trail control and there's a couple FX4 decals near the back of the truck but that is definitely a very tempting option at least for me if I were to get the ranger then when it comes to braking you will get four wheel disc brakes as expected with this one and just to give it a quick test here let's test out the braking feel definitely no issues there when it comes to handling and suspension on the range you will get an independent front suspension with the stabilizer bar in the back a hotchkiss type non-independent rear suspension 2019 ranger will also give you front and rear gas pressure eyes shock absorbers and when it comes to the ride quality I haven't had any issues actually a pretty decent riding truck when it comes to cabin noise I have the heat and the heated seats on and all that fun stuff you guys may or may not be hearing a little bit of that but as far as outside noise goes there isn't a whole lot coming into the cabin so that is very nice as far as the steering feel goes it is as expected for the ranger so again new issues there and touching on visibility I can see perfectly fine out the back I will say the f150 has a little bit more visibility than the ranger because it has a taller rear window back there but still absolutely zero issues with visibility when it comes to the 2019 ranger but so now enough with the driving dynamics you guys let's check out the exterior of this all-new 2019 Ford ranger and so at front when it comes to the headlights on the ranger the XL and XLT will give you halogen headlights if you want with the lariat however you will get led headlights which is what you're looking at right now and led fog lights will come with that as well of course but taking a look in the middle there when it comes to the front grille the lariat is going to give you dual horizontal bars and that is going to be different from the XL and XLT trim levels because with those you are going to get a black mesh front grille and then making our way to the side the XL and XLT is going to give you manual folding black side mirrors with the lariat you're going to get power folding body color side mirrors with integrated turn signals as well I wonder the pretty cool parts I found about the 2019 ranger is within that front fender you will get ranger badging but you will also get trim level badging so if you were ever curious what trim level you were looking at on a ranger simply look on that front fender and it will tell you then take a look down at the wheel setup XL is going to give you 16 inch steel wheels XLT is going to bump that up to 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels and the lariat is going to bump that up once again to 18 inch aluminum alloy wheels and that's what you're looking at right now make your way to the back when you look at the tailgate you will find that ranger insignia embossed into the rear tailgate I gotta love that definitely makes more of a statement as opposed to a small ranger badge on the tailgate or something like that so we gotta appreciate that just below it all a single exhaust outlet making its way out towards the passenger side but as always you guys know what we have to do next here is that exhaust clip it's open now since we are around back let me touch on everything when it comes to the tailgate a little bit here when that tailgate is opened up there are six cargo box tie-down hooks back there so when you're hauling stuff that is going to be there for you of course very useful if you wanted a bed liner there's the drop-in bed liner for $395 the spray and bed liner is going to be around $100 more but that's there for you as well if you needed it make your way to the back seats rear legroom is going to come in at 30.4 inches for the super cab the super crew cab is going to bump that up to 34.5 inches so since that's the one we have today let me give you guys a brief demonstration here I'm an even six feet tall this is how much space I have back there in the super crew also wanted to mention when it comes to those rear seats it is flip up bench seating so if you did not have any passengers in those rear seats they do fold up so you can put your mastiff back there a bunch of tools or whatever you want to do make your way to the front seats they will come with a cloth finish for the XL and XLT trim levels and they do come with manually adjustable seats lariat is going to come with a leather finish and they will come power adjustable and heated as well and on a day where it is 28 degrees in Pennsylvania that is very very useful take a look up front at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping it is going to come leather wrapped if you go with the lariat that's what you're looking at right now it's so but then when it comes to the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do have your Ford logo on the one side and when you flip it over lock unlock and that times two button there that is actually your remote start and that is specific to the lariat trim that we have today so if I wanted to warm the ranger up before I actually got in it that is one option I would do but if I did not want to do that for the lariat at least I could simply hop in the ranger put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee and so but then once started up speedometer is front and center there are two digital displays to the left and the right to adjust what is on those digital displays there are controls on the left side of the steering wheel for the left side controls on the right side of the steering wheel for the right side so make sense you can check out your rpms up there and again always mentioning the off-road status gauge display you can also check out that so you can check out your angle at any given time there's also a digital speedometer available tire pressure for each individual tire how many miles you have left until you hit empty so bunch of nice stuff like that on the right side you can check out your navigation information radio settings and bluetooth info if you wanted to then just touch on overall interior quality a little bit one of my favorite things about the ranger is that ranger is embossed just above the club box there so that is pretty cool always like the personal touches like that but ambient lighting is going to come standard on the lariat trim that we have today along with dual zoom climate control again with the lariat only overhead sunglass holder is going to come with every single trim level so you got that if you wanted it and overall the finish of the ranger I definitely don't have a problem with it very top of the dashboard here that is a soft touch leather and there is some stitching details to that as well so that's pretty nice also like how four tied in the gloss look from the dash to the doors a little bit there as well so definitely no issues for me but let's check out the tech display on this one because XL and XLT will give you that standard sync system and it is available with the sync 3 for the XLT if you wanted it however the lariat is going to give you that sync 3 system standard that is the one you were looking at right now but that's going to give you bluetooth and audio streaming as well as android auto and apple carplay meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the ranger and you have free navigation as well as the ability to like and dislike your Pandora songs up there if you wanted to but if you do take the ranger up in the mountains where there is not a whole lot of cell phone service a factory navigation system is available for an additional eight hundred dollars and we do have that one today and of course you can check out your climate control information and adjust up there if you wanted to and you can also check out your radio settings as expected when it comes to the sound system all trims will give you a six speaker sound system let me just start by saying that however there is an optional sound system a 10 speaker bang and ulfson sound system available with the 501 a package for around an additional 1800 dollars there but I do have that bang and ulfson sound system today so you guys know what we have to do next let's turn on the radio see we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this one definitely more than enough bass that is amazing bass to that sound system and clarity is definitely on point I also like the bno and signeas and the speakers as well but overall sound system is definitely on point with that optional bang and ulfson sound system that we have today and so then last thing when it comes to the tech display at least is when you do put the ranger in reverse you will find a rear view camera for every single trim level letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead me into safety and so there will be front side and side curtain airbags in the back there is latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children also rear child door locks back there tire pressure monitoring system that's all pretty basic but all trims will also give you pre collision assist with automatic emergency braking and if you go with the xlt trim level and help you also get a blind spot information system with rear cross traffic alert and a lane keeping system as well but so that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and subscribe feel free to follow me on social media at
