How does the Blind Spot Information System work on the 2019 Ford Ranger?<\/h2>\n

BLIS on the 2019 Ford Ranger uses radar systems housed in the Ranger’s taillights to keep an eye on the truck’s blind spot. When it detects vehicles in the area, it will warn the driver via a small light on the side mirror.<\/p>\n

Trailer blind spot profiles on the 2019 Ranger<\/h3>\n

While having blind spot warnings can be useful, if you are towing you may also want warnings about when a vehicles is next to your trailer. Fortunately BLIS on the 2019 Ford Ranger includes trailer coverage. Drivers can keep up to three trailer profiles in the Ranger’s system so that the radar knows the length of the trailer and how far back to provide warnings. It can be challenging to haul a trailer, but with the Blind Spot Information System on the 2019 Ford Ranger drivers can leave some worry behind.<\/p>\n

You can see this in action on the video embedded in this page.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Rear cross traffic alert<\/h3>\n

In addition to BLIS (which will also work just fine without a trailer) the 2019 Ford Ranger is available with rear cross traffic alerts that will warn drivers if there is a car coming behind them when they are leaving a parking space. This can make leaving a parking lot or a tricky work site even easier.<\/p>\n

The 2019 Ford Ranger is the only midsize truck to offer this level of blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage.
