The Ford Authority Take

The significant, 53 percent decrease in Ranger sales during Q2 2022 can be attributed to decreased production of the Ranger, leading to suboptimal availability of the midsized pickup truck at the dealer level. The pandemic has continued to negatively impact The Blue Oval’s supply chain by delaying critical parts and resources needed for full scale production. This has caused a dwindling in the supply, preventing FoMoCo from manufacturing the Ranger in healthy levels, and causing sales volume to suffer.

In addition, it would also appear that Ford is currently prioritizing production of the Ford Bronco over the Ranger at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant, where both vehicles are built. As such, we expect Ranger sales to pick back up and reclaim a higher ranking in the segment once:

  1. Supply of parts, including but not limited to microchips, improves, and
  2. Ford builds enough Broncos to satisfy pent-up demand, thereby allowing it to rebalance Bronco and Ranger production in a way that’s more favorable to the Ranger

  1. It’s has nothing to do with overpriced, overloaded vehicles….
    A 4+ year old design and a turbo 4 cylinder engine as the only option,
    does it?
    There are PLENTY of new vehicles out there to purchase.
    Check the interweb.

    (Make the twin turbo V-6 an option, and not only in the upcoming Ranger Raptor)

    1. Four year old? The Ranger platform has been sold for about 10 years in other markets. And the interior looks it.

  2. The public wanted the Ranger back but not as a mid-sized truck.
    They wanted a compact pickup like the discontinued Ranger before it.
    When the Maverick was introduced consumers finally got the compact pick up they were looking for.
    With the full size F-150 at the top and the Maverick at the bottom on the lineup the Ranger is the red headed step child of the lineup and sales will continue to fall

  3. WISH YOU GUYS WOULD PUT THE “SMALL” TRUCK BACK INTO THE RANGER!!!!! THE “SMALLNESS” OF THE TRUCK IS WHAT ATTRACTED IT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW THAT I OWN A 2020 RANGER, I WANT THE “SMALLER” ONE BACK!!!!😢😢😢😢😢🤗

  4. No inventory = no sale
    This is really simple. Everyone don’t have the option of waiting 4-8 months when ordering a truck.

  5. I represent a data point of one in the US, but I have not purchased a 2022 Ford Ranger model as I’m waiting for the 2023 model with the improved looks, both interior and exterior. Granted, I may be an outlier as I do have the time to patiently wait.

  7. The Bronco is more profitable than the Ranger which is a major part of the decline in Ranger sales meaning its more profitable for the Michigan plant to make more Broncos than Rangers . Also the Maverick has taken sales away because of buyers like me who want a true compact pickup that is more affordable and gets better mpgs. I don’t dislike the Ranger I just wanted a smaller truck and if the Maverick were not available I would have bought a Santa Cruz. Ford like GM has outsourced more and more parts over the years and many of those parts are made in China. Agree China is no friend of the USA but corporations have for years gone to the cheapest countries to outsource parts and this is not just automobiles but textiles, appliances, electronics, furniture, and many of consumer products. GM is still an American corporation for now but that could eventually change especially since most of their growth is in China and Asia. Being an American based corporation does not mean what it use to mean because much of the manufacturing and components are not American. Content wise Toyota and Honda on the average have more American made part content than GM, Ford, and Stelantis (was Fiat now Citroen and Peugeot).

  8. There are 1340 new Ford Ranger 4WD trucks for sale on Auto Trader.

    I am tired of the “lack of computer chips and supply chain” excuses for sales volume and pricing. The nobody wants to work anymore response is another one.

    It may never end.
