Ford Ranger T6
The Ford Ranger (T6) is a range of mid-size pickup trucks manufactured and sold by Ford Motor Company since 2011. Designed and engineered by Ford Australia, the design consolidated worldwide production of the Ranger into a single model range, replacing the 1998–2012 Ranger marketed in North America and South America and the Mazda-derived Ranger sold in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and several Latin American markets. Sold worldwide, the Ranger is either the largest pickup truck line sold by Ford (in countries where Ford does not officially market the F-Series), or it is slotted in size between the compact Ford Maverick and the full-size Ford F-150. Growing in size to become a midsize pickup truck, the Ford Ranger utilizes the body-on-frame Ford T6 platform; the chassis architecture also forms the basis for the Ford Bronco and Ford Everest mid-size SUVs. For 2022 production, the T6 Ranger underwent a significant body and chassis update. Ford has also produced versions of the T6 Ranger rebranded for other manufacturers, including the 2011–2019 Mazda BT-50 and the current-generation Volkswagen Amarok. While developed for global sales, the T6 Ranger was not initially marketed in the United States and Canada. At the time of its 2011 release, Ford was concentrating its resources of improving the fuel efficiency of its F-Series trucks; declining sales of compact and midsize pickup trucks in the United States had led to the discontinuation of the Ranger and the Ford Explorer Sport Trac (the latter, nearly the same size as the T6 Ranger). Changes in consumer demand during the mid-2010s led Ford to introduce the T6 Ranger to North America for 2019, alongside the release of the compact Maverick for 2022. In markets where the Ranger serves as the largest Ford pickup truck line, Ford markets the off-road oriented Ranger Raptor and the high-payload Ranger Super Duty (introduced 2025).
