Our spy photographers caught the 2019 Ford Ranger mid-size pickup truck testing in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Here's what they had to say:
"This time we were able to get a look underneath the 2019 Ford Ranger, revealing the suspension bits.
"Ford is testing the U.S.-bound Ranger ahead of the truck's reintroduction to the states for model-year 2019. While it's hard to tell if it will look much different from the Ranger sold globally, expect typical Ford truck cues in a smaller package.
"The North American version may wear its own unique styling as the Southeast Asian markets that most mid-size pickups are developed for seem to prefer more aerodynamic, carlike styling for their pickups.
"Expect a full complement of EcoBoost four- and six-cylinder engines and perhaps a diesel. Ford may use the direct-injected twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 as the premium choice. Ford's new 10-speed automatic transmission, co-developed with GM, is also expected to be part of the package.
"Expect two-wheel drive to be standard, with part-time four-wheel drive available as an option.
"The Ranger should be unveiled sometime in 2018."
