Technology that Thrives Off-Road
If you often find yourself traveling off the beaten path, the Ford Ranger is a terrific truck to have by your side because it offers an abundance of helpful technology as well as some worthwhile packages, too.
First, there's the Trail Controlâ„¢ system. This setup is billed as an off-road cruise control, giving you the ability to set a preferred speed as you travel over rugged terrain. This speed can be set anywhere between 1 MPH and 20 MPH. Once set, your engine, transmission, and brakes will work to maintain this pace.
Next, there's the intuitive Terrain Management Systemâ„¢. With this in place, you can select between four different driving modes. Each mode caters to a specific type of terrain, giving you additional traction and stability. The four modes include:
- Grass/Gravel/Snow
- Mud
- Sand
- Normal
If you want to further your off-road capabilities, packages like the FX4 off-road will come in handy thanks to features like skid plates, all-terrain tires, and a status screen that monitors the pitch, roll, and steering angle of the truck.
Driver Assistance Technologies
When you're on the road, the Ford Ranger will supply you with the same intuitive technology as it does for off-road situations.
One of the features that jumps out immediately is Adaptive Cruise Control. With this system in place, you can set a preferred distance from the vehicle in front of you, and your truck will maintain this distance by accelerating and decelerating appropriately.
In addition to this, there's the Lane Keeping System, which will gently nudge your vehicle back into your respective lane if you mindlessly begin to drift outside the lines. Your truck will also engage the brakes automatically if a front-facing collision seems likely thanks to Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection.

Convenient In-Cabin Technology
When you nestle into the driver's seat of the 2019 Ford Ranger, you'll notice how modern the dashboard really is. Also, you can capitalize on this contemporary setup using the FordPassâ„¢ application.

- The ability to compare gas prices at nearby stations
- The ability to find, reserve, and pay for parking in advance
