Ford offered a small diesel in the ranger in 1984 , I owned one , 5 speed manual , 0 to 60 in 1 week , 1 case of beer payload and 30 mpg with the a/c on
My brother owned a Mazda diesel pickup back then. Believe it was common with the Ranger. I think that is back when Ford and Mazda had a 'relationship'.
At the time I had one of the VW diesel Rabbits and I remember thinking that the Mazda diesel was much more of a 'real' diesel engine then the little one in my VW. It seemed to be a great rig. Slow - yes, but stronger then my VW, although I beat him in the MPG game.
