Explore California in a 2019 Ford Ranger

From San Diego’s sandy beaches to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the state of California offers seemingly endless opportunities for a road trip. These adventures are tailor-made for a versatile truck like the all-new, midsize Ranger. Let’s reveal why you must explore The Golden State in this 2019 Ford pickup.

Energetic Engine

Ford equipped the new Ranger with one dynamic engine option. The turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost is good for 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That’s more powerful than most class rivals.

The standard 10-speed automatic transmission gets the Ranger up and moving. This combined powertrain delivers plenty of grunt to get through Los Angeles traffic on your daily drive or long coastal trips up to Monterey. Its engine makes it an excellent choice for towing and hauling and can even take you off the beaten path.

Off-Roading Capability

When equipped with Ford’s FX4 off-road package, the Ranger is a trail-tackling machine. Hit the road less traveled thanks to high-performance features that are available at every trim level. It includes crawl control, off-road tires riding on an off-road-tuned suspension, a terrain management system with locking differential, and skid plates.

Terrific Fuel Economy

The 2019 Ranger earns fantastic gas mileage. According to the EPA, it gets an estimated 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg highway. Those ratings are among the highest in this segment. The four-wheel-drive variant earns excellent ratings too: 20 mpg city and 24 highway.

Easy-To-Use Tech Features

Ford outfitted the 2019 Ranger with an introductory version of its SYNC infotainment system. It offers a 4.2-inch display screen and voice command controls for many features. Other standard amenities include a Wi-Fi hot spot.

Move up to the midrange Ranger XLT and get the option to add the SYNC 3 infotainment system with its straightforward, 8-inch touch-screen display. This user-friendly system comes standard on the Lariat trim. Why not add a variety of other attractive features such as a 110-volt power outlet, satellite and HD radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote and push-button start, navigation, and a 10-speaker sound system?

Interior Design

The all-new version of the Ford Ranger offers a comfortable cabin that’s perfect for exploring California. Its well-bolstered seats keep you comfortable on long drives, and the high seating position provides a clear view of any traffic jams up ahead. The backseat of the SuperCab offers a lot more room than the standard cab’s second row, if you plan to transport up to five adult passengers regularly. Full-size doors make getting in and out of this truck a breeze.

You’ll appreciate the versatility of four-way manually adjustable seats or upgrade to the eight-way power-adjustable seats that are heated. Depending on whether California’s sand or mud is in your future, pick from cloth, vinyl, and leather upholstery.

If you’re in the market for a compact pickup truck that can conquer everything California has to offer, the 2019 Ranger is a great choice. Visit your local Ford showroom today for a test drive.
