How on earth does a 2011 Super Cab Ranger offer up 117 mm more rear legroom on paper than the 2019 Ford Ranger ’s Crew Cab? How does that work? I haven’t been able to fit in the back of one of those old Rangers since I was 11 years old. There must be something wrong with the numbers. The elephant in the mid-size truck room, though, is its bi

Ford’s reincarnated Ranger nameplate resurrects a pickup sales superstar from years gone by. The 2019 Ford Ranger competes with the Toyota Tacoma, GMC Canyon / Chevrolet Colorado, Honda Ridgeline, and Nissan Frontier – as well as full-sized trucks – since it gives shoppers yet another mid-sized option that may better match their specific needs an

Within moments of picking up a gleaming blue 2019 Ford Ranger , I noticed it was generating a lot of attention from my fellow motorists. When driving around in Skittle-coloured sporty exotics, one expects this sort of reaction, but not so from a new pick-up, especially one that’s been available elsewhere in the world for a few years, even if it’s

Ford hasn't even set an official on-sale date for its latest Ranger mid-size pickup -- recently revealed at the Detroit auto show -- but the company's Thailand division has already published a video of a Raptor variant going for a rip through a variety of challenging off-road conditions. Given the popularity of the 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor, th

Resurrection can be a tricky business. Although nearly a decade dormant in North America after years of slow sales truncated its time on this continent, the Ford Ranger mid-size pickup continued to live the double-life it had long been inhabiting on the global market, albeit riding on a substantially different platform more in tune with the wants a

Whistler may a choice destination for moneyed skiers and those seeking multi-million-dollar vacation homes, but stray too far from the groomed trails and five-star resorts and you’ll find endless tracts of Crown land, criss-crossed by old mining and logging roads that hark back to another era. Before gondolas and spas, people came here for the gold

The death of a South Carolina man driving a Ford Ranger has prompted a new recall of that pickup model to replace faulty Takata airbag inflators, his fatality marking the tenth linked to the airbags at the centre of one of the largest recalls in auto industry history, and the first to occur in a vehicle not made by Honda. This latest round of rec

Ford is stepping up the off-road capability of its smallest North American pickup by introducing the new Tremor package for the Ranger. Let’s get straight to the Tremor’s goods: a suspension lift, 32-inch General Grabber tires riding on 17-inch wheels, a locking rear differential, skid plates, and FOX 2.0 monotube dampers with remote reservoirs

Ford says an electric F-150 is not the only pickup trick it has up its sleeve: in the next few years, the automaker will roll out a compact truck sized and priced below the new Ranger. The news comes from Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets, who spoke recently at the Deutsche Bank Global Auto Industry Conference in Detroit. Auto

Ford's Ranger pickup has finally made its return to the North American market. But as we discussed in our test drive earlier today , if you're looking for a repeat of the old truck, the new one might not be it. If you're a truck buyer who really just wants a new-to-you old Ranger, then we might have just the ticket. Here's an extremely low mileage

The company that sells more full-size pickups than any other has made its triumphant return to the increasingly crowded compact truck segment. The 2020 Ford Ranger isn’t about the glamour – that’s left for the Jeep Gladiator – but it’s still an important piece of Ford’s car-free puzzle. Styling: 8/10 This is a handsome truck, especially wit

Shopping in the mid-size truck segment? You now have another option to consider: Ford is set to officially announce at the Detroit auto show that it’s bringing the Ranger back to the North American market. Though it has been available overseas since it was last sold here in 2011, the 2019 model we’re getting is no import. Rather, Ford says truck

The Ford F-150 isn’t just the best-selling truck in Canada, it’s also the best-selling vehicle. Period. That means if you’re a Ford truck fan, it would seem like all but a sure thing to put in your driveway. But is it? Last year, Ford brought back the Ranger name on a new midsize model, which primarily competes against other downsized trucks lik

Some people buy trucks for work, some for play. In the midsize segment, it’s usually recreation that spurs the decision. Maybe it’s because you’ll often see them parked side-by-side at the bike park that there seems to be a friendlier rivalry between the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger than, say, between the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado. D

Ford’s press conference at Joe Louis Arena had all the hallmarks of a rock concert - pounding music, flashing lights, and… an iconic star. In this case, the perennial sales chart-topper, the Ford F-150 pickup, updated for 2018. Ford also announced the return of the Ford Ranger mid-size pickup for 2019, and, to a chorus of cheers form assembled
