The Ford Ranger (T6) is a range of mid-size pickup trucks manufactured and sold by Ford Motor Company since 2011. The T6 consolidated worldwide production of the Ranger onto a single model range, replacing both 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.[1]
Based on the T6 platform, this series of the Ranger was designed and engineered by Ford of Australia.[2] Though developed for sales worldwide, the Ranger T6 was initially not marketed for sale in the United States and Canada (with Ford instead concentrating its resources on turbocharged versions of the F-150 at the time). For 2019, the Ranger T6 was released for sale in North America, slotted between the F-150 and the later Maverick (released in 2022). In late 2021, the second generation of the Ranger T6 was revealed for 2022 production, adopting a revised T6 platform known as "T6.2" with a modernized body design.[3][4]
Like the previous Mazda-derived Ranger, the T6 Ranger has an SUV derivative called the Everest (Endeavour in India). Since 2022, the T6 Ranger platform is also shared with the second-generation Volkswagen Amarok.
