It’s been gone for 8 long years, and finally, after too long a hiatus, the Ranger returns! While the Ranger has never really left completely, it has been gone in North America. Based on the T6 platform since 2011, with a mid-cycle refresh in 2015, the new Ranger to us is indeed a pretty mature vehicle! While this model will not give us a Raptor trim like we all hoped, it has been hinted that in 2021-2022, the all-new Ranger will indeed give us the Ranger Raptor. Until then, let us enjoy the closest you can get with this XLT SuperCrew with the FX4 Off Road Package and the Sport Appearance Package!
