The Ford Authority Take

The increase in Ranger sales during Q2 2021 allowed the nameplate to outsell all of its rivals except for one – impressive results for what is now the newest nameplate in the segment.

It’s worthing noting that FoMoCo idled its Ford Michigan Assembly Plant, which builds the Ranger for North America, in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Production resumed at the plant in May 2020 with new processes in place for COVID-related worker safety.

The plant was not impacted by the ongoing microchip shortage for Q1 2021 sales, though it was down again for the weeks of May 17th and May 23rd – which falls right in the heart of the second quarter. Despite these disruptions, the nameplate was still able to post a healthy increase in sales volume, and we expect Ford Ranger sales to carry this momentum through the second half of 2021 as long as supply levels remain unhindered.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the two GM midsize trucks – the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon – were severely impacted by the ongoing microchip shortage. As a result, sales of the Colorado – which typically rivals the Ranger for second place – fell substantially during the quarter.

Frankie's first favorite car was a 1968 Ford Mustang, and he's had a strong appreciation for the nameplate ever since. Later in his youth he became infatuated with Eleanor, thanks to Nicholas Cage's stellar performance. Frank's a real jokester, too.

    So, it sounds like product availability was the key factor, maybe not product superiority?

      Not to mention is awkward and uncomfortable interior. Toyota could put their logo and TuRD BRO stickers on an ox cart, and the blind toyotaphiles would still pay top dollar for it.

      Ya know, so they can trade it in after 3 years, because its SO RELIABLE!

    Good for Ford. All the haters talking smack and the Ranger still outsold ’em. Love my ’21 Ranger, BTW. The Tacoma is a mystery with all the horrible reviews I’ve seen on it. Apparently the Toyota boys would buy the Flintstone Mobile if it had the Toyota badge on it! 🤣🤣

    Ranger would still be a #1 seller had FORD not dropped it in 2011. Huge mistake they gave the market to Toyota by doing that just like they did with dropping all the sedans. It only makes Toyota the biggest money maker and number selling automaker in the USA

      Ranger sales has dropped 93% in the years before it was discontinued.

      The sedan market they gave to Toyota didn’t do Toyota any good. They just dropped the Toyota Avalon this week, add that to the Yaris and Lexus GS that have been discontinued this year.

      You may rest assured that Toyota is not the best selling, nor most profitable automaker in the U.S..

      So, congratulations! You were wrong about absolutely everything! Is that a new record for you?
