A recent Facebook post promoting #MoveOver by the Wyoming Highway Patrol caught one of our customer service representative’s attention. The 2019 Ford Ranger will be equipped with two technologies that can help prevent rear-end accidents.
We’ve been in business for quite some time now and we have seen this scene too many times. There was even a time part of our business boasted “we buy trucks in any condition”, including those in accidents like the one pictured above. We’ve streamlined our policies and we no longer have this as something we promote; but if your truck has been in an accident – minor (repaired or not) or major (repaired), you can get an instant cash offer and sell your truck quick to us!
The inattentive Ford Ranger pickup driver rear-ended a police car. This model has been off the market for a bit, but you’ll see it return in 2019. When it does it will be equipped with two technologies to help prevent rear-end collisions.
1st Technology – Automatic Emergency Braking
There is no substitute for an attentive and focused driver, but the automatic emergency braking technology can slow or stop a truck prior to hitting a vehicle, person, or object in its path. However, this new tech has limitations but the IIHS has proven it reduces rear-end accidents by up to 40%. Ford has this a standard equipment on 2019 Ford Rangers.
2nd Technology – Waze
Have you ever heard of the Waze app? Maybe you already have it on your Android or Apple Smartphone? The 2019 Ford Ranger will come equipped with Android Auto and Apple Car Play and will be able to integrate with the free this popular and widely used top-rated app. Why is it so popular across America? It does something no other navigation system can do; it provides an audible and visual warning alerting you there is a police vehicle parked ahead and does this before the driver has this in eyesight. This means, you have additional time to #MoveOver. You know moving over a lane is the law, right?
Presently, there is no available technology to help prevent rear-end collisions; but surely other manufacturers will follow suit. If you’re looking to upgrade your truck to a new 2019 Ford Ranger because you want the two technologies that can help prevent accidents equipped in your vehicle, we buy trucks.
