Junkyard Gem: 1985 Ford Ranger XL

Ford sold Courier-badged Mazda B-Series/Proceed pickups from 1972 through 1982, but the need for a genuine Detroit-developed small pickup inspired Ford to design the Ranger (not to be confused with the Edsel Ranger or various F-Series pickup trim packages of the 1960s and 1970s) for the 1983 model year.
