The best part of the 2021 Ford Ranger is the variety and range of trims, add-ons, special packages, and
features available. It is currently in its fourth generation and has a solid reputation as a reliable truck. We highlight the best parts of this new Ford Ranger.
Taking a Closer Look at the 2021 Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger was introduced in 1983 to respond to the demand for a smaller truck compared to the Ford F-150. It was well received and enjoyed strong performances until 2011, the last model year before Ford paused its production.
The break was later vindicated after the re-emergence of the Ford Ranger in 2019. It shifted from a compact to a mid-size pickup and received immediate recognition, and currently ranks as one of the best-selling trucks in the U.S.
