In the 1960s and 1970s, the Ford Ranger was a full-size truck. Okay, technically it was a trim level for the F-Series, but it had its own badge and it was big. In 1983 it got small, and by 2011 (outside the US, anyway) it grew to mid-size status. The current generation finally reached North America last year as a 2024 model, and now it's time to see how this mid-sizer handles truck life in modest XLT 4x4 trim—the everyday pickup for everyday folks.
