Trucks Of The Month

(Turbo Diesel Shown)
The
Ranger was introduced in mid-1982 for the 1983 model year and had an
available 4-cylinder 59 hp 2.2 L Mazda/Perkins diesel. In
1985, a Mitsubishi-built 2.3 L turbodiesel with 86 hp replaced
the Mazda diesel engine. The diesels were no longer an option after
1987. These Rangers are rare now, but a few seem to be showing up now on
ebay and other classifieds (2008) likely due to the high gas prices and
need for better fuel economy.
