The Ford Ranchero was a coupe utility produced between 1957 and 1979. Unlike a pickup truck, the Ranchero was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run.[1] It was adapted from full-size, compact and intermediate automobiles by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market.
During the 1970s the Ranchero name was used in the South African market on a rebadged Australian Ford Falcon utility. These vehicles were sent to South Africa in CKD form.[2] In Argentina a utility version of the locally produced Ford Falcon was also called the Ranchero.[3]
The Ford Ranchero sold well enough to spawn a competitor from General Motors in 1959, the Chevy El Camino.[4]
