Ford sub-Sahara Africa unveiled the 2019 Ranger to select African media, where Cheki Kenya was well represented.
The revised pick up has a number of changes that enhances its capabilities, comfort and safety. The biggest change comes with the introduction of the new 157Kw/500Nm 2.0 Litre twin turbo diesel engine.

Safety wise, the new Ranger now comes with cross traffic alert and autonomous emergency braking. To enhance the safety systems that are still in play in the current model. The car will be in stock in the second quarter of 2019.
