Hej from Atlanta! Welcome!
What year is yours? I have 97 4.0 manual 5-speed 2wd long cab short bed, and a 87 2.9 4wd short short also man 5sp.
I’m not sure your Wikipedia is the same as ours, but go to “Ford Ranger,” and then “North America”. Scroll down and it gives the years of each generation, and it shows the intermittent face lifts.
A lot of mechanical parts transcend generations, but best to stay within the gen. Body & interior governed by the generations, and then there were different models. They made a zillion, so you may want to double check by VIN number if you can.
Hope it helps! Farvel!
