Here is your chance to drive the All-New 2019 Ford Ranger before it is available in dealerships. Choose an event using the Event Locator Map or from the Ranger sweepstakes entry at the link below. If you don’t choose an event, you can still enter for a chance to win the 2019 Ranger you’ve always wanted and receive updated tour information.

I'd like to have one of these new Ranger's, and they'll probably give one away to someone that's never even driven a Ranger before. :annoyed:

Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
Thanks for the heads up Jim. I signed up for the drawing but there are no events near me.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Thanks, Jim!

I signed up for the drawing. At least 2 events near me. But the dates are bad.

When this contest came out, Ford was collecting personal information from people as they signed up for a chance to win a 2019 Ford Ranger.

The contest ended on 12/31/2019. After that date, I never seen or heard any announcements of a winner. I had started to wonder if Ford really gave away a new 2019 Ford Ranger, or if they just gathered peoples personal and marketing information.

Last week I finally asked. I was told that Ford doesn't announce contest winners but was told that the winner was:

Rachel Forsythe of Florida
She picked up her Hot Pepper Red XLT 4x4 in December (This date can't be right)

No other information was provided. Maybe one of our Florida members saw a local announcement. You'd think as much as Ford spends to hold a contest like this, they'd have a news release and photo for publicity / advertising.

Those that entered probably assumed they wouldn't win and forgot about it. But if any of you wondered what came of the contest, here you go.

Thanks Jim. I was still hoping I had won and Ford was just being slow about telling me.

Now I know I'm not getting a free truck...


















In addition to my missing Corona stimulus check.
