2019 Ford Ranger: A midsize king

The new Ford Ranger is one of the most hotly anticipated trucks of the year. We can see why.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

A 10-speed automatic transmission gets the power to the pavement... or dirt as the case may be.
