I'm Adam from Ontario, Canada. I've had two Rangers in the past - a 1997 XL Flareside as my first vehicle and a 2007 FX4 Level II that I sold back in 2012. I've had a couple Colorados since.

I've been saving and impatiently waiting since the new Ranger was announced a couple years ago. I was really hoping for a manual as that's what I've had for nearly every vehicle I've owned. Then I got shot down again when Ford decided not to bring a 2WD 2019 Ranger to Canada. That's pretty much the only thing holding back my order... that and if I have to get a 4x4 then I'd like to look into a Gladiator as well. That way I could at least keep my manual transmission.

My Name is Norm, I am from South Western Ontario (Near Paris, Ontario). I have been lurking here for a while, following along. I ordered a Blue Lariat 501A, FX4 (Searched dealers who had one on preorder), and put down my deposit a few weeks ago. They just called, it is in PDI, and I pick it up tomorrow morning at 9:15. Traded in my 2010 F150 FX4. I am a pretty even keel guy, but man am I excited !

Beautiful truck. That's exactly the way I'd get my Ranger.

I agree; the roads need more color!

Chris - I'm a Ford dealer from Kansas City. If you have any questions about the truck, just ask. I have a unit in stock if anyone wants to know specifics about it before they have a chance to receive theirs or see one in person. I promise I won't hound anyone about buying a truck, but I will offer any assistance I can in answering questions.

That’s almost exactly what I am looking for.

The biggest issue for me in whether it will fit three tall people for a longer drive, say 4 hours.

I’m 6’3”, my wife is 5’10” and my daughter is already 5’5” at age 11, so she’ll be taller very soon. Do you think my wife and her could be comfortable back to back?

Welcome!

Thanks, glad to be here, and cant wait to get my new Ranger!

 

[TGinAZ]

I bought a 1996 Ranger off the lot and just sold it a few weeks ago. When I ordered the new one, I didn't expect to sell my old one so easily, or I wouldn't have tried to sell it so soon. Now I'm in a bind... no truck and no dates for the new one! My order was officially placed with Ford on 11/27.

Hello. Thank you for adding me to your forum. Tomorrow is the day I order my Ranger. The most trouble I had with the build was colour. I did walk around our lot today looking at the colours on different models. ( I work as a tech at a Ford dealership ) I've decided on Lightning Blue. Super Crew. Lariat. 501A. FX4. Sport Appearance. Tow package. Spray in bed liner. Mud flaps. 5" Black running boards. LT 265/65 R17 A/T OWL. Ebony Interior.. After having a run or Fusions ( my current is a 2.7L Sport ) It will be nice to get something different. Although there is a really good deal on a Mustang GT we have had since the summer on the lot. It crossed my mind but I think ill get more use out of a Ranger. Thanks again for the add.

Hello everyone my name is Patrick out here in the Desert of Sin City. After owning a 16 Subaru Outback 3.6r I needed a bigger vehicle to haul my kayaks and to go on adventures, obviously the vehicle needed to have the equivalent amount of technology creature comforts, a close MPG and the safety features that the Outback has. I test drove the Toy Tacoma, since I used to own a 5th gen 4Runner but the taco drove, well like a truck, the cabin space was tight, seats are uncomfortable. I also test drove the Chevy ZR2 and almost commited to a purchase! But this truck doesn’t have push button start, any safety features and the MPG is subpar!
So earlier today I got my hands on a 19 Ranger and loved the interior, the on the road driving was impressive, includes all the comfort that the outback has except for the sunroof (which I seldomed used) and also it has many safety features!!
I left the dealership without a truck but made a deposit for the next ranger with the trim and package I want, and went home.
Later in the evening I got a call from another dealership ~ saying that they had a ranger with the trim and packages I wanted, except no factory bed spray-liner and included the running boards(didn’t want).
I decided to head down to take a look and low and behold I AM NOW A 2019 FORD RANGER owner!! Thanks to Gaudin Ford!
Sorry for the long long post
