King of the Wild Frontier: A Brief History of the Ford Ranger
To fully understand the power and capability that the Ford Ranger has come to represent, we need to travel back four decades to 1983. In what would begin a lineage that’s spanned several years, the Ford Ranger debuted as the very first compact pickup truck to be built by Ford. The successor to the Ford Courier, which was a joint production effort with Mazda and remained in production from 1972 to 1982, it didn't take long for the Ranger to make a sizable impact on the truck-buying public.
Always one to offer their customers both variety and versatility, the Ranger came with a wide range of powertrain options. Early models of this Ford truck could be equipped with a four-cylinder, V6, or a naturally aspirated diesel engine, which was later swapped for a turbocharged offering by Mitsubishi. By the time the truck entered its second generation of production a decade later, the diesel engine had been discontinued in favor of two different V6 engines and a four-cylinder.
The Ranger became a whole new animal in 2019, emerging as a midsize pickup truck that was now gifted a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a ten-speed automatic transmission; the Ranger was not set to compete against its most notable rivals, mainly the GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado, and the Toyota Tacoma. At the same time, the shape and size of the Ranger have been altered throughout the course of its existence, and its dedication to being the very best in its class and a standard for what a truck should be have remained consistent throughout.
We Have a Great Selection of New Ford Ranger Models
With such a rich and celebrated history, you can imagine that the Ford Ranger has held up over the years as one of the best pickup trucks, and this is certainly the case. The selections you’ll find at Ruge’s Ford are a testament to the staying power of the Ford Ranger and why it’s remained as popular as it has. Equipped with a one-two punch of a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a ten-speed automatic transmission, the Ranger’s emphasis on capability has never been stronger.
With its capable powertrain and towing capacity, the Ranger can either be employed on the job site as a reliable and potent workhorse or facilitate an adventure away from the pavement and civilization. Ford finds a way to combine raw power and sophistication thanks to a spacious interior that caters to our love of aesthetics and all the comfort and amenities that make any commute enjoyable and worthwhile.
But the advantages of a new Ford Ranger certainly go beyond towing capacity and performance. As has been the case since its inception, Ford equips the Ranger with a host of standard safety features to provide oversight and an added layer of protection during your travels. This includes the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety and driver-assistance features that cover everything from emergency braking to keeping a watchful eye on your blind spot.
