Ford Ranger Submodels
The Ford Ranger debuted for the 1983 model year as a domestic competitor in the growing compact truck segment. It was a massive success, known for its durability, simple design, and a wide variety of powertrain and body configurations that lasted until its North American discontinuation in 2011. The nameplate was revived in 2019, returning as a larger and more technologically advanced mid-size pickup.
Collectors are increasingly drawn to clean, un-modified Rangers from the 1980s through the early 2000s. Nostalgia is a key factor, as many buyers grew up with these trucks. Special editions like the step-side Splash, the capable FX4 Level II, and early 4x4s with manual transmissions are particularly sought after. With an average sale price of $11,787 across 329 recent transactions, the market is active for everything from daily drivers to show-quality survivors.
Buying Tips
- Check for frame rust, particularly around the leaf spring shackles and hangers, and inside the C-channel just behind the cab.
- On 4.0L SOHC V6 engines, listen for a distinct rattling noise at startup or around 2,000-3,000 RPM, which indicates failing timing chain tensioners.
- Automatic transmissions, especially the 5R55E, can be problematic. Ensure shifts are smooth and check the fluid for a dark color or burnt smell.
- Test the 4x4 system thoroughly. The electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case motor is a common failure point.
- Inspect cab corners, rocker panels, and the bottom of the doors for rust, as these areas often trap moisture.
