Ford Ranger

Compact American truck

The Ford Ranger is a compact or mid-size pickup truck manufactured by Ford Motor Company, produced in various forms since 1983.

In American usage, Ranger typically refers to a smaller, more fuel-efficient alternative to full-size trucks like the F-150: I bought a Ranger because I don't need a full-size bed.

The nameplate was discontinued in North America from 2012 to 2019 before returning as a mid-size model.
