2019 Ranger rated the most fuel-efficient mid-size truck | McLarty Daniel Ford

Every time you have to stop at the gas pump, that’s less money you could be spending on the fun stuff, and less time to get out there and seek adventure. The good news is: you’ll be making fewer of those stops in the all-new 2019 Ford Ranger. Ford recently announced that with an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 21 miles per gallon in the city and a whopping 26 miles per gallon on the highway, the 2019 Ranger has been certified as the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered midsize truck in America!

Even when configured with notoriously fuel-hungry 4×4 running gear, Ford’s cutting edge engineering helps fight the parasitic four-wheel-drive powertrain dip in fuel economy, meaning the 2019 Ford Ranger still delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy of 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg highway! That makes the 2019 Ford Ranger also the current record-holder for best four-wheel-drive fuel economy of any gasoline-powered midsize truck.

While there was a time when great fuel mileage meant taking a serious hit in power and torque, Built Ford Tough engineering is there again, with the standard power of the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder, which delivers 310 lb.-ft. of torque and 270 horsepower. That’s the most torque of any gas engine, four-cylinder or V6, in the midsize truck segment.

Backed by the exclusive 10-speed transmission to help the 2.3-liter EcoBoost stay in the power and torque sweet spot, the 2019 Ford Ranger delivers best-in-class maximum towing of an incredible 7,500 pounds when properly equipped, with equally-impressive, best-in-class maximum hauling of 1,860 pounds.

“Midsize truck customers have been asking for a pickup that’s Built Ford Tough,” said Todd Eckert, Ford Truck group marketing manager. “Ranger will deliver with durability, capability and fuel efficiency, while also providing in-city maneuverability and the freedom desired by many midsize pickup truck buyers to go off the grid.”

Currently under production at Ford’s legendary Michigan Assembly Plant, the 2019 Ford Ranger will start arriving at dealers in January, and we’re counting the days here at McLarty Daniel Ford.
