This is not really "rare" per se but it's definitely uncommon enough to document, and it has a couple neat features that have been discussed recently, namely the swivel map light and roll up center console. Additionally, it has the XLS body trim. I've seen XLS Bronco II's before, I think those were far more common than XLS Rangers.
I'm fairly sure this truck is an '84, it has a build date of 3/84, and has the '83-84 steering column. I bought this truck for the doors and a couple other pieces. It's very rough and unfortunately has some title issues, second gen front clip, bad trans and a lot of redneck hack work has been done to it over the years so I will probably make a pickup box trailer out of it.
Here's the most interesting parts, the center console (unfortunately missing the rollup part) and the map light.
Odd, it also has black seatbelts. I have not seen that in a Ranger before. Also, note the XLS dash trim.
Enjoy, if anyone is interested in more pics of anything in particular, I'd be happy to take some - should have this truck for another month or so.
