November 2021. Specifically, November 24, 2021. That's when the current-generation Ford Ranger debuted for the world, and by that we mean the world outside of North America. At the time, a Ford spokesperson told us that details on a debut for the States would come later. We didn't think it would be two and a half years, but the wait is nearly over. Save the date for May 10.
Ford announced the debut date in a short teaser video, featuring glimpses of the truck along with a V6 soundtrack and a shadowed Ranger zipping through the desert. Yes, the hardcore Raptor off-road version will debut at the same time, which is a bit of a bonus since global markets had to wait three months between Ranger reveals. And if you recall that original Ranger Raptor debut, Ford CEO Jim Farley told us the American Ranger would arrive in 2023, so the long wait wasn't entirely unexpected.
