can you imagine buying a ranger back in the mid '80's? here were the models to chose from:
ranger "s"
xl
xls
xlt
xlt lariat
stx
sst
custom
explorer
diesel
gt
bigfoot cruiser
those are just the body styles! there were regular cabs, supercabs, 6 foot or 7 foot beds, engine choices....
these models were factory options from ford. they were not built by another dealer such as saleen or rousch.
