2019 Ford Ranger Reveal

I expect the Ranger to be a great truck for some applications but after seeing how high the bedrails are I just went out and bought a used one for use around the farm. I need a truck bed that I can access from the sides. If I am going to have to load it from the rear anyway I might as well get an SUV. At least that way I would not have to reach over a 20" long tailgate to get stuff in or out and I would be out of the weather while doing it. If Ford ever decides to offer a low version of the truck I may get very interested. A bed with drop sides like the Japanese mini trucks have would be very uselful though I would still like the sides lower.

Maybe there will be a bed delete option so you can use an upfitter for a flat bed or utility bed. My opinion is that work trucks are much more useful with a flat deck using folding or removable sides than a pickup bed.
