There were not just 30 Rangers from the North that came with Aragorn to Minas Tirith. There were also Men of Gondor from the Southern fiefs such as Lamedon and Lebennin in the ships [The Battle of the Pelennor Fields]. The Easterlings, Variags, and Southrons saw the ships “filled with their foes”.

As far as the Rangers are concerned they were not the only Dúnedain in the Battle of Pelennor. There were Dúnedain from the South there in much greater numbers. In the books there are only a few Dúnedain like Aragorn, Denethor, and Faramir who are depicted with expressions of Dúnedain traits that are stronger than normal. However, the other Dúnedain were certainly mightier than other men. When they are seen they tend to be like men to boys in relation to other men [The Passing of the Grey Company, The Steward and the King].
