This third generation is also the basis for the Ford Everest SUV and therefore, the Ranger and the Everest share a number of features. Third-generation models, as produced since 2011, were designed and engineered by Ford Australia, with this time the Mazda badged variant being the derivative version of the Ford, offered as the second generation BT-50. Second-generation Ranger models from 2006 to 2011 were also designed by Mazda, being rebadged versions of the successor to the B-Series, the first generation BT-50. For markets outside of North America, Ford badge engineered the Japanese-built Mazda B-Series as the Courier starting in 1971, renaming it the Ranger in 1998 (with the exception of Australasia where the Courier nameplate was retained until 2006 incidentally the Courier was also sold in North America prior to the 1983 model year).
