The history of the Ranger starts off with a Mazda based Courier truck for the 70's. This name dates back to 1953 on a panel van. From there the Ranger story starts to take shape as a sub-brand model for both the F150 and Bronco. Funny enough that the Bronco name would again be used on a Ranger product.

A limited amount of performance models and a tie-up with Mazda yet again, kept the truck rolling though the 90's. But by the early 2000's, this market was starting to retract. The Ranger was soon being outpaced by its Explorer sibling and soon would perish. Of course we all know the ending to this story as the Ranger is back.

This will all change in 2022, as Ford is set to release the all new global Ranger Raptor.
