Ford Ranger - Ford

The Ford Rangers are a line of pickup trucks manufactured by Ford. First introduced in 1983, they share design elements with the Mazda B-Series who also had a hand creating the Ranger. In North America, the Ranger is considered a compact pickup truck and was the best-selling car in that class from 1987 to 2004. It is currently in its fourth generational design phase.

Power is currently provided by a range of engines starting with a 2.3L Duratec I4 and ending with a 4.0L Cologne V6. A 5-speed Mazda manual transmission is available as are 4 and 5 speed automatics.

Due to sales declines, there have been numerous rumors that the Ranger line would be discontinued.
