2019 Ford F-150 vs 2019 Ford Ranger

Performance

For the Ranger, there is only one engine available. It is Ford's very popular and very efficient 2.3 liter EcoBoost and it is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Drivers will have the option of both 4x2 and 4x4 versions of the new Ranger.

For those going with the F-150, there are many more engine choices depending on the trim level. For those most interested in fuel economy, there is the 2.7 liter EcoBoost. There is also the impressive 450-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 as well and the 290-hp, 3.3-liter V-6 to choose from as well. Drivers hoping for a V8 can choose the 395-hp, 5.0-liter V-8. There is also the 3.0-liter turbo diesel option.

Either of these trucks can help you haul your gear. The Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds. For the F-150, this number is between 5,000 and 8,000, depending on the powertrain selected.

Appearance

Both of these trucks look as rugged as they are. The F-150 uses its two huge headlights to anchor a two piece chrome bar in place. This is similar to what you will see on the front of a Ranger, but the Ranger's is much smaller. There are 14 exterior color options for the F-150 and 8 available for the Ranger. In general terms, the Ranger looks sleek and sporty while the F-150 screams rugged workhorse.

Features

Drivers can get many of the newest driver assistance safety features on either of these trucks. Examples include Blind Spot Monitoring and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Braking. Both also feature the Sync 3 infotainment system. This optional feature adds voice control capability and is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Certain models offer an 8"-touchscreen, a pinch-to-zoom feature, and navigation.
