• Manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, the Ranger was introduced in 1983. Designed to compete against the small trucks from Japan, the Ranger replaced the Mazda-made Courier model that had been selling under the Ford moniker. The 1999 Ranger is powered by either a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine or a 3.0-liter, V6 engine option. Because multiple options were not available for the 3.0-liter V6 engine, torque and general specifications are the same for all Ranger trims.
