Up next Karl Probst: The Father of the Jeep Published on January 16, 2024 Author Tread Staff Tags auto show, Auto Show in Detroit, Ford, Ford Ranger, Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 The Resurgence of the Ford Ranger: Design Your Ultimate Tacoma Killer The Ford Ranger – once the envy of white sneaker-wearing dads everywhere, was suddenly and promptly discontinued from the US and Canadian markets in 2011 and never seen again. Living on as a mysterious off-road legend down under in Australia and Southeast Asia ever since, it has left the US market to flounder and be owned by the Toyota Tacoma. Ford, deciding that this was totally unacceptable, showed off the new North American market Ranger at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. As a 2019 model, it will be for sale this winter, and after a long wait, Ford has released the build and price tool on their website, so now you too can play with it and design your ultimate Tacoma killer.
