The Ford Authority Take
In a very unexpected turn of events, Ford Ranger sales built on the momentum generated in Q1 2020, outpacing the segment growth rate and increasing its lead over all but one of its direct rivals.
The 20 percent sales jump enabled the pickup truck to jump from third to second place in its segment in terms of overall sales volume. As a result, the Ranger has become America’s second best-selling midsize pickup truck during the quarter, which is a very strong and noteworthy performance.
We believe that Ford was able to achieve this feat as a result of two important events coming together in a perfect storm kind of scenario. First, the Ranger is a newer, better, more competitive and – ultimately – more attractive product compared to key rivals, especially those offered by GM (Chevrolet, GMC), Toyota and Nissan. Second, the Ranger appears to have enjoyed better availability when compared to key rivals, whose supply was differently impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This circumstance may have pushed some customers considering a competitive offering to purchase the Ford Ranger. Additionally, it’s also possible that Ford had filled a large fleet/commercial order, one that included many Ranger units, during Q2.
That said, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a harsh blow to global economies as well as the automotive industry at large. As such, we’re not sure whether it would be realistic to expect Ford Ranger sales to continue growing at the accelerated pace exhibited during the second and first quarters of 2020. Additionally, competitors are rebuilding inventories depleted by the coronavirus pandemic, potentially limiting the Ranger’s sales volume in future quarters.
For its part, FoMoCo idled its Ford Michigan Assembly Plant, which builds the Ranger for North American markets, in March as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The plant resumed production on May 18th with new processes in place for workers safety.

So did you guys make up those Tacoma numbers or what? You have the numbers COMPLETLY wrong for both Q2 2020 and 2019. I know in June Tacoma sold 12,000 and in May sold 24,000 and I don’t know the results for April but just those 2 months they sold 36,000 well over the 14,000 you have listed. sales were down both those months as well so I know they sold more than 20,000 in Q2 2019. Nice try, nice try LMAO
Now that i checked the numbers posted for Tacoma are the April numbers only, they sold 50,000 for Q2.
Do these articles pass by an editor before publishing?
Anyone who even remotely follows the truck market could tell this was way off.
Clearly they don’t. Checkout the two spelling and grammar mistakes in the first two paragraphs.
Yes, everything goes through an editor… sometimes even two. But despite striving for the utmost accuracy, mistakes do happen on occasion, as it did in this particular case. We’ve corrected it and explained what had taken place.
MacKenzie – not sure what you’re referring to, but there were no spelling or grammar errors in this piece. Yes, the numbers were off, but not the grammar. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
My last Ranger was 1988 that I drove until 2004. It had 200.000 thousand on it the engine was a little tired but I never had trouble with the four wheel drive or the Mazda 5 speed transmission. Really liked that STX AND THAT 2.9 litter engine. So it doesn’t surprise me it out sold that rough riding toyota.
My 1999 Ford Ranger does not get a lot of miles every day as I only have 126,000 as of today. On the other hand I haul a lot of things from ladders to gravel & soil on a regular basis and it has performed perfectly for the past 21 years. I am a big fan of the brand and will definitely look at the 2021 model this Fall even as mine is still in excellent condition. The 4.0 L engine and 4-wheel drive with 4-speed with OD can’t be beat weather running on the beach to surf fish or loafing down the interstate in OD. I think it says it all that I regularly get offers to buy my 21-year old truck as it still looks new!
