A Ford Ranger voltará ao mercado norte-americano em 2019. Para criar expectativa pela picape média, a empresa soltou um vídeo que mostra a bateria de testes usada para garantir a robustez do modelo, mostrando aos possíveis clientes todas as suas qualidades.

A Ranger 2019 será lançada nos EUA com motor 2.3 turbo de quatro cilindros, acoplado ao câmbio automático de 10 marchas, mas a Ford não revela sua potência ou torque. Os interessados poderão escolher entre a versão SuperCab com portas traseiras menores ou a SuperCrew com mais espaço para os passageiros. Em termos de capacidade, o modelo estará disponível com tração traseira ou 4x4, e haverá o pacote opcional FX4 Off-Road que adiciona itens como suspensão mais firme e bloqueio eletrônico do diferencial traseiro. Flagras no país sugerem que a fabricante ainda estuda se irá vender a Ranger Raptor por lá.

HOW FORD IS TESTING THE 2019 RANGER TO ENSURE IT’S BUILT FORD TOUGH AND READY FOR ADVENTURE
MAY 4, 2018 | DEARBORN, MICH.

DEARBORN, Mich., May 3, 2018 – From grueling lab tests to robotic testing too harsh for humans to endure, from jagged trails in the Australian Outback to the Arizona desert, Ford is torturing its 2019 Ranger to make sure the all-new truck is up to Built Ford Tough durability standards and ready for adventure.

Ranger testing is based on the same proven standards of the legendary Ford F-150.

“We torture every component – from its high-strength steel frame to its EcoBoost® engine to its cloth and leather-trimmed seats – to ensure Ranger is ready for any season and nearly any terrain,” said Rick Bolt, Ford Ranger chief engineer.

Ford’s rigorous approach to ensuring Ranger quality and capability starts in the lab, progresses to the proving grounds then is confirmed through intense real-world challenges in locations near and far.

At Ford’s Michigan Proving Grounds, a fully loaded Ranger hits the brutal Silver Creek track with impacts so severe robotic drivers are used so humans don’t get injured. In the lab, a four-post shaker table abuses Ranger for days to check against squeaks and rattles. In the real world, Ranger towing capability is tested in high temperatures on the unforgiving long steep grades of Davis Dam in Arizona, while the Australian Outback treats the truck to more heat and choking dust over harsh off-road terrain.

Offering purpose-built features like a Terrain Management System™, Trail Control and blind spot monitoring with trailer support, plus a host of available adventure-ready features, the all-new Built Ford Tough Ranger makes its exciting return to the United States in early 2019.
