How much does the 2019 Ford Ranger cost?

Prices have softened 10.35% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,520 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Ford Ranger a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Ford Ranger earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10. Owners consistently praise its robust performance, advanced technology, good fuel economy, responsive engine, and towing capacity. That lines up with the Ranger’s role as a midsize pickup that leans on price and power, especially if you want a capable truck for towing, hauling, and weekend use without moving up to a larger full-size pickup. With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities.

Is the 2019 Ford Ranger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling truck with robust performance, good fuel economy, and a responsive engine that many drivers seem comfortable living with over time. The expert evaluation also notes that the 2.3-liter EcoBoost has no known indication of issues in this application, and the truck’s straightforward single-engine setup may appeal if you prefer a simpler ownership experience. Still, used buyers should pay close attention to condition and recall history, since long-term ownership risk depends heavily on how each truck was maintained and used.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Ford Ranger?

At 71.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing or hard work. Focus on signs of body repair, uneven wear, and any evidence that the truck has been pushed beyond normal daily use. Because this model year also has a known recall, it’s worth confirming that any open safety work has been completed.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL is the most stripped-down version, with steel 16-inch wheels, a manual-locking tailgate, cloth upholstery, and a spartan 4-speaker stereo, but it still includes a rear-view camera, USB port, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The XLT adds 17-inch alloys, a 4.2-inch center screen with Ford Sync, an extra USB, a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and an upgraded 6-speaker stereo, while the Lariat brings LEDs front and back, leather upholstery, dual-zone auto climate control, an upgraded 8-inch touchscreen, and 18-inch alloys.
• Powertrain: You get a single 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed transmission. It delivers 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, with EPA-estimated 21 city and 26 highway mpg.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 adds auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and trailer tow monitoring, lane-keep warning and assist, forward and reverse parking sensors, and a 110-volt power outlet. It is available as an option rather than standard equipment on the base trim.
• Infotainment: The XLT can be upgraded to Sync 3, which unlocks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as SiriusXM. The Ranger also offers a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and the Lariat includes an upgraded 8-inch touchscreen.
• Fuel efficiency: The Ranger is rated at 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, or 23 mpg combined.

Which 2019 Ford Ranger trim should I buy?

The 2019 Ford Ranger is offered in 3 trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and can live with a basic cabin. It still gives you useful standard equipment like a rear-view camera and automatic emergency braking, but it feels intentionally sparse.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the features that make the Ranger feel more modern, including the larger screen, Ford Sync, a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and a better stereo. It’s also the trim where the available Sync 3 upgrade makes the biggest difference.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most comfort and convenience features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, LED lighting, and the upgraded 8-inch touchscreen. It’s the most upscale version, but it makes the most sense if you want a more premium daily driver.

Ford’s Co-Pilot360 safety package is available on the lower trims and adds a meaningful set of driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Ford Ranger?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,520 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 71.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,954, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Ford Ranger's resale value?

The current average of $21,954 sits slightly below last year's $24,488.

That price decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point if you plan to keep the truck for a while. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market appreciation. Well-kept examples with desirable features should hold up better than trucks with accident history or heavy wear.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Ford Ranger safe?

The 2019 Ford Ranger does not have published crash test results from NHTSA or IIHS in the provided data.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is the named driver-assistance suite, and it includes auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and trailer tow monitoring, lane-keep warning and assist, forward and reverse parking sensors, and a 110-volt power outlet. On the base XL, some of those features are only available as part of an option package rather than standard equipment. The safety section also notes a recall tied to a shifter wiring sub-harness issue, so you should confirm that any affected vehicle has had the repair completed.

Should I buy a 2019 Ford Ranger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert summary: It returns to the U.S. market with a simple, price-and-power formula centered on a single engine and transmission.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $23,345, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $21,954 average.
• It adds broader appeal with a stylish design and a terrific optional infotainment system.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the stronger buy because prices are softer and the market still has plenty of listings to compare. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2020 may appeal if its added polish and tech matter more than upfront savings.
