- This is the brand new 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat! Let's check it out!
Today we take a look at the brand new US spec 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. This is a highly spec'd Ranger with a ton of options!
The 2.3L 4 cylinder EcoBoost engine packs a surprising punch and was excellent to drive. It had more than enough power to get up and go, which is a must in any truck. Smooth power delivery from the twin scroll turbo and 10 speed automatic transmission makes the 2019 Ford Ranger drive very smooth and responsive.
The exterior style of the new 2019 Ford Ranger looks great! Sleek and muscular lines give it a bold look that falls nicely in the 2019 Ford line up of vehicles. The interior had nice leather accents and quality feeling components. Very easy to use with minimal buttons, touch screen infotainment screen and nice amenities.
This Lariat has a lot of options as well, like 360 parking sensors, back up camera, Bang & Olufson audio system, Trailer Assist, Terrain Select, Trail Control, Metal Bed Liner, Heated Leather Seats, LED lights and much more!
Having the EcoBoost engine actually produces class leading engine torque and outstanding towing capacities of 7,500 pounds!
I was very impressed with the smooth on road capabilities with the new 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. It was comfortable on the street with a soft suspension, had a tight turning radius and was very nice for a daily driver.
The off road capabilities of the 2019 Ranger are definitely there. The Trail Control in the 2019 Ford Ranger is basically a cruise control system for off-roading. It will monitor the brakes and acceleration from 0-20 mph and keep the vehicle going one speed no matter the terrain. You can set it to 1mph, and the truck will slowly crawl over any off-road obstacle.
The new Ranger also features various terrain selections for even more capabilities. The FX-4 Package is something to add when buying the new 2019 Ford Ranger since it gives you the under vehicle skid plates, 4x4 system, Trail Control, Terrain Select, Locking Rear Differential and upgraded shocks!
I definitely enjoyed driving the new 2019 Ford Ranger and was impressed with what it has to offer. If you are looking for a new Toyota Tacoma, Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon or Honda Ridgeline. Definitely put the new Ranger on your list! It was great!
Huge thank you to Mooresville Ford! They have a huge selection of the brand new Ford line up!

For Lariat trim level they should have added ventilated seats.
Pierre P and a sunroof
Owen Schwerdtfeger good point.
Yes you are right however sunroof should be optional
and nice interior too would have been nice.
yeah I agree, more soft touch trim too. The heated seats will sear a steak even on the 2nd setting
first time watching your video.. great work!
In Asia pacific, Philippines in particular, a top of the line Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 10 spd-AT w/ 2.0L bi-turbo diesel having 213hp and 500n-m cost around $ 33.5K if converted from Peso. It has the same features and tech except for the rear disc brakes and single leaf spring in the Lariat.
Remember when the Ranger was a cheaper, reliable, simple work truck? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
MT DADS GOT 93 RANGER 35K ON IT
4 SPEED LOTS OF RUST ON IT BUT GOES
WOW!!
Reliable hah. Good one.
xBMacLeod I think the reason for that is that the Ranger is the only Ford truck available in Europe, so it hat to be adjusted to fulfill the European people's expectations in both a work truck and an everyday SUV-like vehicle.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm living in Germany
You can buy the poor persons shripped out model for 25k. Stop looking at fully loaded, highest trim levels and complaining about price.
I have to say bringing back the Ranger is a game changer.
Excellent review, very thorough
Glad you liked it!
This truck is so nice .love the short bed !
Solid review video. Nicely done!
Thanks!
Shadow black paint with the black appearance and off road packages looks MEAN!!
love it getting one some day! this truck would fit my wants and needs just fine, this is a mid sized truck not a 2 seater with a cassette player
some people still living in the 80s and 90s lmao
Great review, thanks
Very nice review. Thanks!
This is my dream truck THANK YOU FORD :D
shooting low eh
Awesome 👍 👍 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat FX-4 review .
Thanks! It was a cool truck!
I subircribe to your CZcams channel .
@@bestcarreview5021 I appreciate your support!
Those eco boost engines with the 10 speed trans are awesome. Love mine. They will scoot
Yeah it's a great set up
Yeah I don't know why people think they need a v6 those motors are fast and snappy I really love mine
This is the first black one I've seen. Sharp!
Is the only way to choose which vents are running through the screen and no hard buttons other than defrost?....Appears that way, which sucks....especially if the screen fails after warranty
We need to see a engine tune on this engine. Does Ford racing offer it? They Dobson the mustang?
They should have put the 2.7 v6 EcoBoost in this. That would have been perfect.
Actually just bought one, pick it up Tuesday! Pretty stoked as I’ve been driving a Ranger since I was 21. Started with a 2003 Ranger Edge, then I had a 2011 Sport, basically the exact same truck so this is gonna be different!!
Nice! Hope you are enjoying the new one!
Here we are 3 years later, do you still have the Ranger?
Also, you seem to be on nicer country roads. How was it in town on bumpier roads? Thank you.
Has ford fixed the carbon buildup problem on direct injection engines like this one ?
Seen it in person today...to bubbly looking. I'll wait for the ranger raptor or a trd pro
My Ranger was $46k msrp. FULLY loaded Lariat fx4 with every option. Got it for 39,400 otd. Dont let msrp scare you. If you want one, drive it and work the deal. Its a great truck!
Thats awesome! Not a bad price at all for a fully loaded truck!
Good presentation. Want to know how tall you are to gauge the rear seat room..and was the front seat all the way back? Set for a 6 footer? Thanks.
I'm 5ft 11. Seemed big enough for this sized truck. Very comfortable on bumpy roads too
I wonder how good it will pull 33" mud tires?
I'll wait to get it used with 10K miles on it for $25K
Same
Anthony saaaammme
Lmao..you can still get a full sized regular cab pickup for that price....
I GOT 2018 SUBARU FOR 19K AFTER IT WA A DEMO MODEL 500 MILES
IF NEW 27K
THIS IS 45K NEW
@@ekop1778 Just best to buy a nice basic work truck. They charge so much for this shit because if all the extra crap like infotaiinment system and trim...etc ..
I'm driving it now it very interesting and strong
Why did you turn the lights off auto?
I like the fact it has a turbo; already seeing these get tuned easily over 300hp. Just really wish it had a 6 speed manual
How do you remove the back light from the housing
Which housing are you talking about? Also I was just doing a review on this Ford so it's not mine to figure out to take it apart.
I’m wondering how long until the aftermarket comes up with a different intake tube to increase turbo noise. You can tell they tried hard to muffle it.
This truck has more tech then most competitors on this trim level.
Greg Machala then don’t buy it. Move along
Keep going 😉👏👍
Good coverage of the basics of the truck! No power slider? 4 cyl seems to not go with a top level mid size truck. I will wait to see if the Rap comes, but will still check this out when I get some time. Ranger will generate interest, then buys when you factor the standard 8-10k off msrp 😂
I'm pretty sure I saw the numbers tested on the truck and it was right with the quickest truck in it's class. I don't think performance will be an issue for it
I love this 🤤
You mentioned it has a Class II hitch, are you sure?
Huh and I was worried about the 4 cylinder. Nice review. I'm gonna be getting one in August.
@Honest Fellow Yes, and love it. Very nice.
Tune it! Lol
at 10:29 where he says there's a little "body roll", I never understood what that meant when they say "body roll". can someone explained that to me?
Basically it's the load transfer of a vehicle towards the outside of a turn. When a vehicle is fitted with a suspension package, it works to keep the wheels or tracks in contact with the road, providing grip for the driver of the vehicle to control its direction. You feel more body roll in trucks and SUV's and less in sportscars.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank u for clarifying
what do you think of the B&O sound system?
Sound good enough for e lol
Nice truck
Is there a diesel available
Can you drive 4wd while it’s raining
Is the manual mode really manual, or just setting the highest useable gear like Tacoma or Colorado?
Justin P It lets you shift. Using the thumb button with + and - you can manually Up shift and downshift
@@BrosFOURRSpeed My ford focus has that to but I never put it into that mode.
You guys complain about price remember this is the top of the line vehicle. Pricing is definitely comparable to other trucks with same options. They have several combinations so you can order what works for you. I ordered a 4x2 with plenty of option for less than 33k. Runs great, more power than I expected and with a hwy mpg of 26 I think it’s worth the money.
As someone who complains about the price, I still think it's way too much. $33k for a 4x2 is expensive.
Danny Lynch you must be just as STUPID as the moron who paid 33k for a 4x2 truck.
Danny Lynch your comebacks are weak, just shut up PLEASE.
I would pay it if I was getting top of the line . The inside has way to much plastic.
Lmao! Top of the line yeah right! The design is completely dated and the design is ugly as shit
This should be around 35k tops.
TTundragrizzly It is $36K ... these aren’t selling at sticker.
What model Nissan is this?
Ranger is everywhere here in the Philippines. 😂, And it's rarely get in our a.c shops which Toyota and mitsu are full of it.
is mike in tampa right now? cause i swear i just saw his truck
lol no. I've seen a few matching Tacoma's to his. I guess some ppl took inspirations with t few of his vids.
Nice review ;).Was that all in 4x2 and did you use traction control with the rain ?
I just had it in normal 4x2 while driving. All driving aids were on
Thank you 🙏🏻
Ford is selling every 2019 Ranger it can make. Michigan Assembly will be cranking up production to keep up with demand going from one shift to 3 and massive overtime to keep up with demand!
I think they were saying that to generate interest as the first quarter sales were a disappointing 9K units, I had read the overtime at the plant was to make up for the days the factory was closed for bad weather
The million year old Frontier is outselling the Ranger. That's effing pathetic.
bypass the touch screen and just use voice commands for nav, radio, and temp. Also it is built with android auto and apple car play.
I’ll test drive one,but it would take alot of doin to get me to buy one.
All in all, more people are buying trucks. People want nicer trucks. I'm a full size truck guy, however my son isn't as tall so the midsize taco worked for him. I'm glad there is an ever increasing number of competition. This has lead to Toyota adding power seats to the 2020 Tacoma. Competition is good for a of us. I'm just a person who found value in the Toyota trucks over domestic. No worries either way. Keep up with the car reviews.
Thanks! I'm glad to see Ford bring this to the states. Tacoma has dominated this market forever.So it's great to add the competition
Who pays anything more than base price OTD?
I like the styling of the Ranger. It's not too big or too small. I hope they bring the Raptor version here.
Can you imagine the price tag on a Ranger Raptor, would probably be 60k...
@@Shakerhood69 And now the ranger raptor is a thing… for I believe 60k haha.
I'd like one in the XLT package, just a shame you can't add leather to it like the Colorado ($995 option in the lower trim LT and Z71).
Supercab/Long Bed
Lightning Blue
4x4
Package 302A (8-Way Power Driver and Passenger Heated Seats with Power Lumbar Manual Sliding Rear Window, Remote Start, and the Sport Appearance Package)
$1,295 FX4 Off-Road Package
Sport Appearance Package
$495 Trailer Tow Package
$795 Technology Package (Adaptive Cruise Control and Navigation System including Sync3 with Apple Carplay)
$495 Spray-in Bedliner
Total MSRP Sticker: $39,015
Yep. The bundles are a hot mess. If you want popular options they make you buy a fully padded lariat. One only has to spend 15 minutes on the build it site to get pretty frustrated. In short, the Ranger is priced 5K-10K over the competition with similar options. And they nickel and dime. The 40K XLT still looks pretty plain to me with the cloth seats and shitty sony strereo.
that is my dream car
Nice option for sure!
I'm a GM and Ford guy there all ive ever owned the last ford truck I owned was in 2006 I currently have an 11 silverado and its down to get the Canyon or the ranger I wanted the ranger but the thing thats stopping me is 1.no V6 option 2. No crew cab long bed option if I buy a truck I want a bed if ford would do these 2 things I would buy it in a heartbeat but I might have to go with a GMC Canyon this time
Andrew Moore I would be interested in this truck if they put the non turbo 3.3 in it with the 10 speed. They purposely give it a 6 speed in the f150 to make sure it doesn’t beat the eco boosts in mpg.
@@perrinayebarra yea I agree they put the 3.3 and a long bed crew cab option and id be happy
Just bought a new canyon all terrain with rebaits. I paid 14k less than the msrp of the ranger.
The selling point on the old rangers were they ran forever and they were cheap. The 94' ranger I had was at 240k before I sold it. Still running strong. Sadly now 45k really?! And only the future will tell us about its overall dependability.
Hank Hills ideal truck.
45k?? Does this mean if ranger raptor comes here it would be like 60k Msrp ?
Wow you were right on the money with this lol
Add this:
Ford Ranger Passenger Van (Galvanized Body, optional aircon 15 seater for Ranger) from CENTRO MANUFACTURING
Anyone know if this could be a very day driver?
Any car besides a super car can be daily driven, if that's what you're asking. I mean, hell if you wanted to you could daily drive a super car, or a classic car, or anything that has four wheels and a seat. As long as it gets you where you need to go then I'd say yes it's an every day driver, it's not like the ranger is a show car
Gets mid 20s mpg why not
I love you ford
Good looking truck. A lot of reviews saying they're only getting 20-21mpg highway. Not good. Storage in the back is the worst of the trucks I looked at too. Missing some options you get on GM and Toyota. Ford had a few years selling this truck in other countries to get it right before bringing it here. I think they might have rushed it. Still some work to do for the money they're asking.
Im probably one of the first to buy one of these...not happy with the one I bought
the brakes had a bad "shimmy" when you applied the brakes. one or more (not given the best info) rotors had to be turned/trued. Most of the shimmy gone, but I still feel some. At take off you can feel a "shudder", vibration (whatever), but it balances out after you get going. The back seat backrest wont latch so it flops around some when you apply the brakes. The seats are embarrassing, but I work at a plant that manufactures seats for the automotive industry so I am picky. These seats, nor most I have seen in videos and pictures would not make it out of our plant. The foam doesnt fill out the leather well, at work we tried to massage it into place but it is still baggy, and wrinkled looking.
I dont really use lane departure, I find it annoying, but compared to my last truck it doesnt alert you much. Very slight notice in the steering wheel. My last truck you could feel it in the wheel, and the seat would rumble.
on the positive side, it looks awesome! For a small truck it rides well, and I am coming out of full sized pick ups, so that is saying a lot. Handles very well, and that little 4 banger will pick the truck up and move it quick. For the price I think they could have done more inside. Maybe more soft touch on the doors? Aside from that and the seats I love the interior of my Lariat. The adaptive cruise control rocks. I use cruise control a lot, and get annoyed when I have to come out of it for traffic. This thing takes care of that. Even switched lanes to much slower traffic to see what it would do. It keeps distance, and will slow you down quickly lol.
I should note here that I did drive 2 new Rangers. the first one was an XLT, and had none of the problems listed above. The seats were cloth and had good fit. I also drove everything else in its class because I wanted to get out of full sized pick ups. In my opinion, nothing compared to the Ranger (well, at least the first Ranger I drove lol)
update...all has been fixed, no problems now
Does it have more room on the inside compared to the Tacoma?
It seems very similar
@@BrosFOURRSpeed No that's not true. The back seat has allot more room. Cabin height is superior on the Ranger. Plus the seats in the front are best in class. By far. I've driven both and know. Plus Ranger has more adjustment to seat with height adjustment. In the toy you sit lower to the floor/legs straight out. Not very comfy for ALLOT of people. Plus no height adjustment on the Tacoma which exacerbates the problem. Interior wise, The ranger probably has the best seats in class. Followed by the Colorado with the Tacoma coming in dead last. But that lower cabin is a toyota trademark. Its been like that for decades with Toyota. If you want room, its the worst choice. Especially if your a tall person.
I test drove the Tacoma and just 2 days ago, I drove this new Ranger and I would take the Ranger in a heartbeat. I really wanted a Tacoma for its known build quality and retained value but it's just not as good as everyone thinks. I kept hitting my head on the ceiling and it's weird to sit on the floor while doing it. The engine is on the noisy side when merging into highway traffic and the transmission was reluctant to downshift until you really got into the pedal. The rear seat movements of flipping, folding and headrest removal is BS. The Tacoma is a nice truck but it's nowhere as good as it should be.
The Ranger was very eager to move and had a very comfortable ride and interior. Plenty of headroom and elbow space. The engine and transmission are supremely calibrated and I just couldn't get over how quick the ranger picked up speed without the need to downshift much at all. The Ranger will hold my quad and some fuel cans were as the Tacoma would be maxed out.
I am just not going to give up a great engine/transmission pkg, ride quality, comfort and interior ergonomics for the quality and resale value of a Tacoma.
the taco is in bigggg trouble with the Ranger back and will outsell them in 2020..mark my words.
Pretty much my take on this too. I test drove all of them and the toyota was the worst of the bunch. The Frontier was comfortable and had plenty of get up and go with the V6 but lacking in everything else. The GM twins are nice. I really didn't care for the dash layout but the rest was pretty good.
The Ranger was the last I checked out and to me is the best of the bunch.
Going to wait a bit until the 2020 model year though for some incentives to come along. I am also praying the push button start gets added to the XLT for 2020.
You made a good choice that new ranger is bulletproof you will see good truck good job Ford Motor Company
I’d still take the Tacoma for the aftermarket but yes I agree with you. I’ll probably wait for the next generation where hopefully they fix the room issue
East Coast Resident I just drove one a few days ago and I was so unimpressed that I just couldn’t understand the cult following they have. Even the $59,000 TRD PRO doesn’t even have an electric seat. Cmon
New lariat for $30k. Should I get it.
No sport mode? No eco mode?
All the early reports I'm hearing is around 21 MPG's. It does not matter if you drive allot of Hwy either. Not thinking this motor will offer much more then the VVT V6 GM offers. Except maybe a little more lower end torque. But throttle response is almost the same. Diesel would should have been also offered as an option. You can only do so much out a gas motor/truck for MPG's. Ecoboost will suck gas when under boost.
Sorry but the ranger raptor isn’t coming to USA
12:00 ford mustang in blue looks vnice
$45,500 for a mid sized truck? That's a bit high whereas you can upgrade to a full-size truck for around $30k-$35k (depending on options and stealership pricing)
I want a new Ranger, but I want mine to basically be custom built, because the stealerships don't have it in either the color I want or with the options and color I want...
pull down the visor and see what the visibility is like.
Most vehicles I've been in the sun-visor takes up a lot of the front visibility.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I bought a 2018 GMC Canyon All Terrain not too long after I posted this and am happy to say that I can see fine w/o having to tilt my head down when using my sun visor. That was an issue when I had my Sport Trac
I've owned both from new.. Ford F-150 52k and had to install a catch can and have to drain it frequently.. Bad pinion bearings in rearend 1k.. replace the wheel bearings front and back.. all brake rotors.. both front wheel lockers.. 2 Piece drive shaft.. still have something grinding like a wheel bearing noise with vibration so I'm waiting for the transfer case or transmission to fail.. 122k on it.. Never tow or haul heavy, just a Motorcycle and a ATV.. Toyota has my vote.. Had a 2004 for 200k miles worry free.. Toyota
I test drove the Tacoma and hated the lack of leg room and power. Just test drove the ranger and liked the interior and had plenty of leg room. It was stickered for $40,600. There wasn't much leg room in back with the front seat all the way back. Overall this is a nice truck. Definitely nicer than the Tacoma.
I love the 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat FX 4!!! It's very sexy and sharp!!! Have yall seen the electric Ford F-150? It's very nice!!! I love the 2019 jaguar I pace, it's very sexy and sharp!!! Hopefully I can afford a electric car one day! But for now I'll take a 2020 Toyota Corolla or Camry lol! I can't wait for y'all next video.
I was leaving the dealership, and saw a black fx4, looked real nice, the wheels looked almost like black chrome, driving beside it, was just a bit lower than my f150, thought that it looked smaller than a tacoma, or even a ridgeline, would consider a truck like that, would be a lot easier to park some places in the city, and probably capable of doing most of the things I ask of my F150. A midsize is not about being cheaper or better fuel economy, but for people that dont need a full size truck, but want a truck.
@@garys2157 😎
Superrr
yeah but whens ford going to bring the ranger raptor here.... oh wait they said theyre not 😢
Had 3 rangers over the years, went to an f150 when they quit making them. But, then decided I did not want or need a full size truck so made the switch to a Tacoma. Sorry Ford, stopped to see the new Ranger yesterday, aside from the better tech, I find all the center console buttons in the way, I'm positive they would get damaged easily under normal use, just my opinion, keep in mind I love Ford vehicles, just not too crazy about this one.
“I have a ton of leg room” come on man
It's right on par with trucks in it's class. My legs were comfortable
Bros FOURR Speed. Ok. I like your reviews. Especially the truck ones
I like the new ranger but I'll stick with my 2010 ranger 👌
All these people complaining about the price are too broke to buy one either way!
Arguing declining value for money benefits all consumers
you said "definitely" 47 times in this review.
Don't forget he hasn't graduated high school yet.
I love it but it’s too expensive for me😔😔😔
I like the idea, but I really don't want a cartruck. I have owned 2 Rangers, a 99 XLT Off road and a 2004 Edge. They didn't really look like a car in front. Come on guys, TRUCK IT UP!
Why would I pay the same price for a Ranger as a F series.
I agree. I like the Ranger size, but if i could get a full size 150 for same price why wouldn't I?????
It's a nice truck and all. But if rather wait for it to be a 15k or less truck. Just bought my F-150 Sport so I have no need for another upgrade at least for 8+ years
4 years later… good luck with that. These have held value.
from what ive heard they arent selling very well...
For a 2019 a better display would be better it’s the same display is a 2014 Ford Fusion titanium
i wouldn't mind a simple tachometer for that price.
Put it in sport mode
A v6 and a platinum like package would be better.
Everyone omg it has turbos it's not reliable.... people forget turbos have been on cars for years and have only been getting better. Technology has advanced lot since the 80s. Theres plenty of high mileage turbo cars out there. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.
Besides the troublesome turbo, the Ranger also has Direct Injection which is going to lead to carbon build up issues, would not want.
built by Borg Warner if I'm not mistaken
@@Shakerhood69 "troublesome turbo". Ok cite your evidence of this engine showing it is "troublesome". The amount of bullshit people post is unreal.
I would like to have the half inch increase of ground clearance that the Ranger has over the Colorado Z71 but then I already know that I can get a Z71 for 10K less than they are showing here for the Ford. When I see that the Colorado has better acceleration and comparable gas mileage, sorry but I think Ford blew it at this price, for what they are offering here.
too expensive..but they were nice enough to add power seats(looking at you Tacoma!)
Joe Amith how many times are you going to need to adjust your seat
The global Ford Ranger is pretty much built in Thailand.
That’s cool!
A Lariat with a manual rear window slider? Are you serious?
Water Walker thought the same thing. Lol
Much better than those pos Tacomas.
