thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Why is there so much detail on this page about Ford trucks and SUVs which are not the Ranger?  If they share a platform, they should be listed in "Related" in the infobox, get a brief one or two sentence mention, and links to their respective pages. --Vossanova o< 15:08, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The gallery, especially, is excessive. A brief mention of the fact that the Ranger chassis spawned other vehicles is sufficient. --Sable232 (talk) 23:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that Mazda B series only features the international version of the truck; it directs to this page for the North American (post-1993) version.  I'm not sure whether the Mazda section in this page should be moved to Mazda B series, or kept here, since the post-1993 B series was derived from the NA Ranger.  It would be nice to have all the Mazda info and galleries on one page, but I know we like to keep rebadges in the same place.  Beyond that, the Explorer Sport Trac, Explorer, Bronco II, and Aerostar sections can go for sure. --Vossanova o< 17:37, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the B-series article is about a completely different lineage of truck, it would probably be less suitable to include the Ranger-based model there. It's so closely related to the Ranger that I feel it can remain in this article, although whether it's better to have a separate section at the end or have the information interspersed throughout I don't know. --Sable232 (talk) 19:37, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other vehicles 

message: While the current generation was split off into its own article without discussion, this topic is here for whether or not to do so on the other three generations.  I Support the idea for several reasons, although it will be a fairly large undertaking.
* Doing so will allow some streamlining of the article without an actual loss of content.  
* This has been done with Ford F-Series (admittedly, a model family involving several more articles)
* The format of the Ford Ranger disambiguation page is a good base for including further article links.
Any thoughts?  --SteveCof00 (talk) 11:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
