What year was the first Ford Ranger?

The Ford Ranger has always been my favorite truck, so when Ford brought it back in 2019, I was elated. After the long hiatus, I was curious how long the Ranger had been off the market. What was the first year the Ford Ranger was available?

That’s a great question! The first Ford Ranger was released in 1983 and rolled off production lines until its demise in 2012. However, the niche for midsize pickups drastically improved in the mid-2010s, leading to renewed interest in the vehicle—by 2019, it was back in production, meeting with approval by both critics and consumers alike.
