Auto enthusiasts loved the Ford Ranger upon its introduction and
public debut in 1982. The Ford Motor Company introduced this
pickup truck and the enthusiasts came flocking in. They were
mostly after quality vehicles and the Ford Ranger was what they
wanted. For years, the Ford Ranger has been crafted and sold
with sporty and impressive looks that is just like the first
Ford Ranger introduced more than a decade ago.
The present Ford Ranger holds design changes that include
revised bumper colors, a horizontal grille insert, rugged fender
flares, clear-lens parking lamps, new tail lamps, new fog lamps,
a 9-inch Ford oval mounted on the grille and tailgate, and a
Ranger windshield logo. It comes with a 2.3 liter engine with
four cylinders. New color choices for this vehicle include
screaming yellow clearcoat, torch red clearcoat, and redfire
clearcoat metallic. Additional options for this vehicle include
two 15-inch Alcoa forged aluminum wheels, body-color side
moldings, as well as new packages. Its exterior motif holds
equipment and features like an aggressive valance and power-dome
hood structure as well as a nostril grille. These are very much
consistent with the rest of the Ford truck lineup. The interior
boasts of a sporty feel and functionality. The Ford Ranger has
seats with sculpted bolster and seatbacks for comfort and
support. There also are optional sport bucket seats,
leather-trimmed seating surfaces as well as a steel wheel

Great changes and upgrades were considered to be milestones for
the Ford Ranger. Those that made waves included the 1965 use of
the Ranger name as a styling package for the F-Series pickup
trucks. For 1981, the plans for this vehicle model were unveiled
and presented in an auto show. The following year, the Ford
Ranger came rolling off the assembly line and into the streets.
A year after driving its way to the market, the Ford Ranger's V6

also named Ranger 4x4 of the year by the 4-Wheel and Off-Road
magazine in the year 1986. It also was selected as Pickup of the
