They are similar to the functions available on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/houstonford\/2017-ford-f-150-raptor-vs-2017-ford-f-150-4x4\/\">Ford Raptor off-roading full-size truck<\/a>. Each mode alters transmission gearing, throttle response, and steering control to deliver the best possible handling. The four available driving modes on the 2019 Ford Ranger will be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Normal<\/li>\n<li>Grass, Gravel and Snow<\/li>\n<li>Mud and Ruts<\/li>\n<li>Sand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Grass, Gravel and Snow mode in particular can prove valuable for drivers here in Minnesota who need to handle dirt roads and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/houstonford\/preparing-truck-winter-truck-winterization-service-near-brainerd-mn\/\">punishing winter weather conditions in their trucks<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_half_last\">\n<div id=\"attachment_1187\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2018\/03\/02080411\/central-console-adjustor-2019-Ford-Ranger_o.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1187\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1187\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2018\/03\/02080411\/central-console-adjustor-2019-Ford-Ranger_o.jpg\" alt=\"central console of the 2019 Ford Ranger\" width=\"768\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2018\/03\/02080411\/central-console-adjustor-2019-Ford-Ranger_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2018\/03\/02080411\/central-console-adjustor-2019-Ford-Ranger_o-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Drivers will be able to control 4&#215;4 functionality with a dial in the central console of the 2019 Ford Ranger.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h3>Trail Control Slow-Speed Cruising<\/h3>\n<p>Another exciting new feature that will come with the Terrain Management System on the 2019 Ford Ranger is the Trail Control function. One of the challenges of serious off-road driving is maintaining an easy speed while also analyzing the terrain for the best way to tackle challenges. With Trail Control, drivers can set a slow standard speed and let the 2019 Ford Ranger maintain that speed autonomously, even sending power to each of the four wheels independently to maintain momentum.<\/p>\n<h3>Other FX4 Off-Road Package Features<\/h3>\n<p>Other attractive standard advantages of the FX4 Off-Road Package include all-terrain tires, a steel front bash plate, skid plates, and off-road tuned shocks.
