Ford Ranger Parts & Accessories

The Ford Ranger has been one of the most enduring compact and midsize truck nameplates in the world, produced in the US market from 1983 through 2011 on the original compact truck platform and returning for 2019 onward on the global T6 platform that delivers the most capable and modern Ranger to date. The original Ranger pioneered the compact sport truck segment alongside the Mazda B-Series and the Nissan Hardbody, offering 2.3-liter and 4.0-liter Cologne V6 engines in regular and extended cab configurations with two-wheel or four-wheel drive. The current generation Ranger uses a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 270 horsepower on the T6 platform with a sophisticated independent front suspension and rear leaf spring setup that is significantly more capable than its predecessors. This collection covers upgrades and maintenance parts for every Ranger generation.

Popular Upgrades

Current Ranger T6 owners most commonly add ReadyLift and Rough Country leveling kits that lift the nose to match the rear ride height, K&N and Airaid cold air intake systems for the EcoBoost, and Tonneau covers from Extang and BAK that protect cargo without sacrificing bed utility. Lift kits from Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Bilstein, and Fox Factory give Ranger owners two to three inches of additional ground clearance for off-road use while maintaining on-road composure. Classic Ranger owners with the 4.0 Cologne V6 benefit from Edelbrock cold air intake upgrades, Bilstein B6 shock replacements, and Flowmaster exhaust systems that improve both performance and sound.

Performance and Handling

The current Ranger T6 uses a double-wishbone independent front suspension and rear leaf spring setup paired with class-leading approach and departure angles in its factory off-road trim, and the Ranger Raptor enhances this with Fox Live Valve shocks and wider front track dimensions for high-speed desert running. Suspension lift kits from Icon, Bilstein, and Rough Country are engineered specifically for the T6 platform to preserve the factory caster angle that maintains steering stability after lift. The original compact Ranger benefits from add-a-leaf rear spring kits and Rancho RS9000 adjustable shocks that improve both towing capacity and handling without modifying the factory wheelbase geometry.

What is the towing capacity of the Ford Ranger?

The current Ranger with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and the Max Trailer Tow Package is rated at 7,500 lbs when properly equipped, making it one of the strongest towers in the midsize truck segment. Original compact Rangers with the 4.0 Cologne V6 and the tow package were rated at up to 5,620 lbs, which is a substantial capacity for a compact truck. Adding a factory-spec trailer hitch receiver, weight-distribution tongue kit, and transmission cooler from this catalog ensures your Ranger is equipped to tow safely at or near its rated capacity.

Is the Ford Ranger good for off-road driving?

Yes, the current T6 Ranger with optional locking rear differential, terrain management system, and skid plate package is a genuinely capable off-road truck that competes directly with the Toyota Tacoma TRD and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 in the midsize off-road segment. The Ranger Raptor takes this further with dedicated Fox off-road suspension, wider fenders, and a retuned EcoBoost calibration for high-speed desert use. Lift kit and skid plate upgrades from Rough Country, ARB, and Icon make even standard Ranger models significantly more capable off-road than they are in stock form.
