a 2012 ranger will be using r134a and yes, this has gone up 10x in price since I bought my first jug in 2015. The other refrigerant currently used in passenger auto is r1234yf which is very much a late model euro spec gas - it entered the market insanely expensive about 5 years ago and has dropped some what to just being 'stupidly' expensive.
