Manufacturer: Ford

Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford in 1903 in Dearborn, Michigan, and became one of the largest automakers in the world. The company pioneered the moving assembly line in 1913 and popularized automobile ownership with the Model T, which was produced from 1908 to 1927. Ford introduced the flathead V8 engine in 1932, making V8 power affordable to mass-market buyers, and later developed technologies such as the EcoBoost engine family and the SYNC infotainment system. The company avoided the government bailouts received by General Motors and Chrysler during the 2008–09 financial crisis and has since expanded into electric vehicles with models like the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning.

Model: Ranger

The Ford Ranger is a compact/mid-size pickup positioned below the full-size F-150 in Ford's truck lineup. It debuted in North America in 1983 as a compact truck, was discontinued there after 2011, and returned for 2019 on a global platform (fourth generation), with a fully redesigned fifth generation arriving for 2024. Typical strengths include better fuel economy and maneuverability than full-size trucks, available four-wheel drive, and towing and payload ratings competitive within its class, plus off-road-focused variants like the Raptor.

Year: 2019

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.

Code: PX3

The 2019 Ford Ranger PX3 was offered in XL, XLS, XLT, and Wildtrak trims with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain layouts. Engine options included the 2.2L four-cylinder and 3.2L five-cylinder Duratorq diesels, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Typical maintenance focuses on timing belt or chain service intervals, diesel particulate filter regeneration, and transmission fluid changes. Four-wheel-drive models also require periodic transfer case and differential fluid servicing.
