Rescue Ranger

Sign in to edit


Description[]

The Rescue Ranger was first seen in 1985 released in the Real Rider series. For vehicles with same cast and different names see; Ranger Rig (1975), and Emergency Squad (1974).

Some versions feature a blown engine taken from a 'Tooned 1968 Mustang.

The Ranger Rig has also been known as Rescue Ranger, and in 1975, it shared the same body casting as Emergency Squad. In a purely economical move, Mattel issued the Ranger Rig, Backwoods Bomb, Emergency Squad, Paramedic, Ramblin' Wrecker and Super Van all with the same chassis.

This casting appears to be based on the emergency truck from the hit tv show of the time period, Emergency!. The Emergency Squad shared the same casting as Ranger Rig for 1975, and also shared the same chassis mold as the Rescue Ranger, Backwoods Bomb, Paramedic, Ramblin' Wrecker and Super Van, due to Mattel's cost-cutting efforts at the time.
