Another
     four mini-rigs were produced for the Return of the Jedi line, the  
   Ranger being one of them. None of the rigs actually appeared in any  
form    in the movies, but it can be said that they exist “in the Star  
Wars    universe.”
The Ranger had two forward mounted 
guns, a  round    cockpit for one figure, and two sideways-firing guns 
(well, not  really    firing). It was kind of a unique vehicle (as were 
many of the     mini-rigs), with a round cockpit and large side guns. It
 only came  in a    ROTJ box.
Why should you own this vehicle? Five reasons:
1.  The big, oversized guns!
2. Only the cool guys patrol Endor in a  Forest Ranger – not one of those wimpy Speeder Bikes.
3. The  only SUV on Endor.
4. “Ranger” is always a cool-sounding name.  Unless, of course, its attached to a car.
5.
    With its shape and  color, could double as a G.I. Joe vehicle. In   
fact,  I wouldn’t doubt  that Hasbro re-used it in their G.I. Joe line  
 (I have  not looked this  up).
Backstory:
There
    really isn’t one.  The Ranger does not appear in any of the Star 
Wars    Expanded Universe  works. It does not appear in the films. There
 is  no   manufacturer listed.  Also, why does it need such big guns 
when the    Empire has already been  kicked off Endor? You can see the Wookieepedia  article doesn't have much more.
