When it comes to pickups, the Ford Ranger has been one of the trendsetters of the past four decades, as proven by its recent North American Truck of the Year award. It was initially released in 1983 and produced until 2012 as a compact pickup, before taking a hiatus and returning in 2019 as a mid-size truck. It’s popular globally, and has gained a large following on American roads.
