Ford Ranger - Generation 1.1 (1999-2003)

FORD RANGER (1999-2003)

Basically a rebadged Mazda B-Series (they had to pay Francisco Motors to build it), the Ranger was heaps better in terms of quality than the Mazda plus it brought in turbocharging in the pick-up race. Two limited edition models are available namely the Hurricane and Pinatubo.
