The new Ranger is the midsize truck to beat. It offers great on-road performance, a comfortable cabin and the best hauling specs of any gas-powered, midsize truck.

It's been eight years since Ford last sold the Ranger in the U.S., leaving market share that's been gobbled up by the stalwart Toyota Tacoma and revamped Chevy Colorado. Growing demand in the U.S. for trucks has Ford ready to reclaim some ground, so it's launched a bigger, more refined and more capable Ranger for the 2019 model year.

In a segment so long dominated by uncomfortable or archaic offerings, the Ranger really is a cut above the rest. The Colorado and Canyon already felt a generation ahead of the Tacoma, but the Ford takes another big leap. On a three-hour cruise from Detroit to Columbus, the Ranger was quiet and comfortable the whole time.

It's more refined than any other midsize truck, but that doesn't mean it's quite as compliant as a crossover or unibody vehicle. The Ranger's back-end still feels busy at speed, something common among trucks built for hauling.
