I like to have a repair manual on hand for my vehicles. I’ve been looking for a manual for my 2000 Ford Ranger but Chiltons hasn’t published one since the 19??-1999 models. Why not?

I’ve looked for CD or DVD versions and done a general search on Amazon but I keep coming up empty. Did something happen in 2000 that I don’t know about?
