All I know is…that bottom one sure is a looker.Ok, old thread, I know, but I still don’t understand how the current Ranger got labeled as the 5th Generation Ranger? Wiki says we are 4th Gen even though they show that there are 8 (US) iterations listed on their page, with the Gen 1 getting 1 facelift, and the Gen 3 getting 3 facelifts. What gives? How does a new generation start or end? How did we land on 5? I’m confused.
I doubt it has anything to do with the ROW, which is the same T6 platform as our current Rangers, and itself has undergone 3 facelifts. Matter of fact, the next generation Ranger is still designated as the T6.2 (2nd iteration of the same T6 platform), so basically, the same bones. So if it’s not from a facelift, and not from a new platform, how does a new generation get identified?
