Where are Ford Rangers made now?
As of 2024, Ford Rangers are produced at several plants around the world to serve regional markets. The main production sites include the United States (Wayne, Michigan), Argentina (Pacheco), South Africa (Silverton, near Pretoria), Thailand (Rayong), and China (JMC Ford joint venture facilities).
Global production footprint
North America
The Ranger sold in the United States and Canada is manufactured domestically in the United States to support the North American market.
- Michigan Assembly Plant, Wayne, Michigan, United States
The plant in Wayne ensures the North American Ranger is produced close to its primary customer base, with supply chains tailored to regional demand.
South America
In South America, Ranger production centers on Argentina to serve Mercosur and neighboring markets.
- Pacheco Assembly Plant, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Argentina remains a key hub for Ranger exports and regional distribution within South America.
Africa
South Africa is a major Ranger production site for Africa and selective export markets.
- Silverton Assembly Plant, Pretoria, South Africa
The Silverton plant supports Ranger demand across the African continent and parts of Europe and the Middle East.
Asia-Pacific and China
Ford also builds Rangers in Asia-Pacific for regional sales, and China-market Rangers are produced by the JMC-Ford joint venture to serve Chinese customers.
- AutoAlliance Thailand (AAT), Rayong, Thailand
- JMC Ford joint venture plants, China (Chongqing region, for the Chinese market)
Thai production helps cover Southeast Asia and Australia, while China-based facilities supply domestic Chinese demand.
Notes on production shifts
Factory assignments can evolve with model year updates, demand trends, and trade considerations. Ford has adjusted capacity across regions over time, so specific plants may change as new Ranger generations roll out.
Summary
Ford Rangers are produced at multiple global sites to support regional demand: Wayne, Michigan (North America); Pacheco, Argentina (Mercosur); Silverton near Pretoria (South Africa); AutoAlliance Thailand in Rayong (Asia-Pacific); and JMC Ford joint venture facilities in China. This global footprint reflects Ford’s strategy to localize production for key markets, with occasional changes as markets and generations evolve.
