From the article: "Over the past several years, more than one study has pegged the previous-generation Ford Ranger as one of the most reliable vehicles shoppers can purchase. That includes Consumer Reports, which has previously named both the 2020 and 2021 Ford Ranger as two excellent options for those seeking a reliable used mid-size pickup."

Yes, in 2022, Consumer Reports recommended used 20-21 year models. But, the latest 2026 issues note that from 19-25 model years, only 2021 and 2024 model years have average reliability. The rest are below average in reliability. They are no longer recommended in their used pickups.
