| The '''Ford Ranger''' name is used on two distinct and unrelated pick-up truck lines by the [[Ford|Ford Motor Company]]:
| |
| * The North American Ford-designed compact pickup truck (documented here)
| |
| * The [[Mazda]]-designed compact pickup (documented at Mazda B-Series (International)) sold in more than 130 countries
| |
| | |
| In North America, the Ranger is Ford's entry-level pickup truck. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was used on versions of the Ford F-Series. The current line of Rangers was introduced in 1982 for the 1983 model year. It replaced the [[Ford Courier]], an Americanized version of the Mazda B-Series. The compact Ranger was styled after the full-size Ford pickups, and is also offered with a four wheel drive option. The Ford Ranger is currently offered as a 2.3 litre I4, a 3.0 litre [[V6|V6]], and a potent 207 [[HP|horsepower]] 4.0 litre [[V6|V6]]. All transmissions are 5-speed w/overdrive and come with a choice of manual or [[Automatic transmission|automatic]].The FX4 version comes with an 8.8 inch rear end, 3 skid plates, and Bilstein shocks. Prior to the 1983 model year, "Ranger" was a trim package available on [[Ford F-Series|full-size Ford pickups]]. This truck uses code ''R1'' (for 2-door) and ''R4'' (for 4-door) in the 5th and 6th positions of the VIN. The Mazda - Ford - Mazda truck saga came full circle in 1993 when the Mazda B-Series truck became a rebadged Ford Ranger in North America. Both vehicles are manufactured at Ford's Saint Paul, Minnesota Twin Cities Assembly Plant, which is scheduled to close in 2008. Ford's future product plans in the compact pickup market segment are expected to be announced closer to the end of Ford Ranger production in the Twin Cities, in 2008.
