Ford Ranger Accessories & Parts from American Trucks

Ford is going strong into the mid-size truck market with the Ranger. Where the older iteration was more of a generic fleet vehicle, the rerelease is an off-roader, tow vehicle, and sporty truck. Ford reinforced the Ranger body with a full boxed frame and six crossmembers. Where this might seem excessive, consider the skid plates on the factory FX4 package. The Ranger is designed to take a beating and head to work the next day. As far as work is concerned, the SuperCab version is capable of 1,860 lb payload and boasts a 7,500 lb tow rating. To ensure the Ranger was ready to play, Ford put their truck through extensive testing, including strapping a trailer to one and towing it in 100-degree temperatures.

All Rangers come with the 2.3L EcoBoost, making 270 horsepower and 310 ft-lbs of torque. The 10-speed automatic is perfect for both fuel economy and towing. In fact, Ford claims the Ranger has the best in class gas mileage, making a convenient work vehicle and off-roader. Another feature that keeps things simple is Off-Road Cruise Control. When active, the system keeps the truck between one and twenty miles an hour depending on the terrain. The rockier the slower the crawl..

The appearance options available are STX, Sport, Chrome, and Black. The STX package provides aluminum wheels, black seats, and fog lights. The Sport appearance is a dark gray trim package, dubbed Magnetic by Ford. The Chrome and Black appearances are what you would expect, with matching wheels, bumper covers, and fender vents.
