2nd gen front bumpers

[Uncle Gump]

At the end of the day... it really doesn't matter.

Denise... you aren't gonna buy a part for your truck based off generation... you will do it by model year. But i will just say this... you're technically right.

Grab a glass of lemonade and have a seat in front of the fan... maybe try a shot of vodka in the lemonade. Maybe a few shots and this will all seem funny and not cause you a heart attack.

Snoranger is right. Wikipedia is wrong. The problem with wikipedia is that any idiot can contribute to it. Their breakdown of generations doesn't make any sense.

What snoranger posted is the standard used in the Ranger community and the aftermarket.

Some people consider the 1998-2011 the 4th generation, and some consider the 2004-2011 Ranger a 5th generation.

Generations have followed body style changes.
