The Ford Courier/Ranger, produced from 1998 to 2006, was a popular compact pickup truck offered in various configurations, including the PD, PE, and PG models. The Courier/Ranger nameplate, often simplified to just "Ranger," was a continuation of the long-standing Ford Ranger lineage, known for its durability, practicality, and affordability. These models were manufactured in Thailand and were primarily aimed at the Australian and Southeast Asian markets. The Courier/Ranger was available in both single-cab and double-cab configurations, with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. The petrol options included the 2.0L Mazda-sourced engine and a more powerful 2.5L engine. Diesel engines, also sourced from Mazda, provided a fuel-efficient and torquey option, making them suitable for towing and hauling. The vehicle's design was robust and functional, emphasizing practicality over flashy aesthetics. They were equipped with a ladder-frame chassis, ensuring a tough and sturdy build. This ruggedness and reliability made the Courier/Ranger a popular choice for both work and leisure activities. The Courier/Ranger was a well-equipped vehicle for its time, offering a range of features and options. Standard equipment included power steering, air conditioning, and a CD player. Some higher trim levels even offered features such as alloy wheels, fog lamps, and a sunroof. The interior was designed to be spacious and comfortable, with a focus on functionality. The cabin offered adequate space for both driver and passengers, and the cargo bed was large enough for carrying various goods. While the Courier/Ranger was not known for its luxurious interior, it offered a comfortable and practical driving experience for everyday use. The vehicle's success was further enhanced by its reputation for reliability and low running costs, making it a compelling choice for many buyers. Despite its eventual discontinuation in 2006, the Ford Courier/Ranger remains a recognizable and respected vehicle in its respective markets, leaving a lasting legacy as a reliable and affordable compact pickup truck.
