The Cadillac Gage Ranger is a 4x4 armored personnel carrier produced by Cadillac Gage. It is essentially an armored truck. The largest customer was the United States Air Force which at one time had over several hundred. It is also used by Luxembourg and Indonesia. The Ranger was called the Peacekeeper in USAF service.They were produced in the early 1980s on a Dodge 200 or Dodge Ram pickup truck chassis. Many were subsequently sold off to local police as SWAT vehicles. A newer version called the PeaceKeeper II is produced on a Ford F-350 chassis.

The Ranger/Peacekeeper is no longer offered by Cadillac-Gage.
