Ford Ranger
Here is a Ford Ranger in Jamaica, where it is fairly popular. The Ranger is a compact/midsized pickup popular around the world as a work truck. The name has been around for about half a century, but doesnt have a simple history - for a while, it was only a trim level on certain F-Series trucks. It wasnt until the early eighties that the first Ranger pickups (dedicated models, not just F-Series trim levels) came about. The model has continued since then in multiple forms, with Ford selling one version of the Ranger to North Americans and another to the world. In 2018, Ford united these disparate lines by bringing the international Ranger (the current generation of which was designed by Ford Australia and is pictured here) to the USA and Canada. This means that, in 2019, North Americans will be able to buy a new Ford Ranger for the first time in about 7 years, and will have access to the global Ranger (which will now also be built in a new Michigan plant just for North Americans) for the first time.
