I'm confused about 5th gen versus 6th gen. Some sources say there was no 5th gen, some say there is no 6th gen. I'm so confused.

It is confusing due to the differences between the Global and North American (NA) version. Due to the 7 year hiatus from the NA market from 2012-2018, and with the Global platform being introduced. there really any concise answer on that. Like right now Wikipedia say the current generation for NA is the 5th gen and the models from 2019-2023 is the 4th gen.

Thank you. That makes sense. NA didn't have a Ranger for a while, but the rest of the planet did.
Next question, I'll be in a 26 or 27 Ranger Raptor soon. Should I be playing here or on the 5G forum? I guess here as I really won't own a 5th gen.

I'm a member of the both. 5G since 2019.
5G is more fun. Great Admins and Members, but 6G has more RR content.

After looking around it seems there is indeed disagreement on how many generations there are. It seems odd to me that more often than not a mid-life facelifted Ranger is considered a whole new generation when that thinking hasn’t been applied to any other make or model I’ve heard of in the last 5 decades that I’ve been paying attention. Here’s an example: https://www.therangerstation.com/articles/ford-ranger-generations-1983-present/#gsc.tab=0

I’m just used to a generation of a model being tied to its chassis and not the suspension or drivetrain even, and certainly not inconsequential aesthetics.

If you own a 2019 Ranger, our Ranger5g forum is for you. This forum is for 2024+ Ranger.
