1. Ford SYNC

Ford outfitted the Ranger with its proprietary communications and entertainment system called SYNC.

SYNC plays music and makes calls hands-free through voice-activated communications while providing the convenience of a fully-integrated entertainment and information system so drivers can keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.

SYNC can be activated to answer or reject calls safely while driving, it can also be used to dial a number or find a phone contact and read text messages.

2. Autonomous Emergency Braking

The all-new Ford Ranger offers visual and audible warnings by detecting pedestrians and other vehicles while you’re driving.
Ford’s Autonomous Emergency Braking system uses a radar sensor that allows the on-board computer to see the road ahead and identify cars, trucks, motorcycles,

bicycles, and even pedestrians. With the Pre-Collision Assist, Ranger’s on-board computer can take action and trigger Autonomous Emergency Braking and stop the Ranger if you fail to react. This makes driving both in and outside of the city safer and more intuitive for both new and experienced drivers.

The Active Park Assist also detects objects in front of, behind, and even next to the Ranger giving the driver a comprehensive view of the surroundings. The Active Park Assist allows newer drivers to park their Ford Rangers like a pro the wheel steers itself with the help of the on-board computer although acceleration, braking, and shifting are still required.

4. Electronic Stability Control

The Ford Ranger is equipped with Ford’s Electronic Stability Program which provides the vehicle with greater control to prevent the truck from sliding sideways and skipping.
The on-board computer uses different information gathered from several sensors on the pick-up truck.
