The 2019 Ford Ranger marked the model's return to the U.S. market after an eight-year absence, offered as a midsize pickup with a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine producing 270 horsepower and a 10-speed automatic transmission. It was available in XL, XLT, and Lariat trims with SuperCab or SuperCrew cab styles and either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. Routine service focuses on the turbocharged engine, including oil changes and spark plug replacement, and some owners have reported shifting concerns with the 10-speed transmission. Checking for open recalls and confirming transmission software updates are recommended during service visits.
