Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger is a midsize pickup truck nameplate from Ford, designed for everyday driving, recreation and light-duty truck work. Across its model years, cab and bed choices, engines, drivetrains, payload, towing ratings and equipment can vary substantially. Shoppers should compare the exact year and trim because specifications, features, recalls, known problems and ownership costs can change over time.
