America’s Ford Ranger Gets Some Off-Road Love Straight From Ford Performance

The Ford Ranger is finally getting some off-road love in the US market, courtesy of Ford Performance’s new accessory packages. These may not carry the Raptor name but it will do the job for most people.

Owners of the 2019 and 2020 all-wheel-drive Ford Ranger will be offered the choice between three accessory packages that are designed to boost the truck’s off-road credentials and style.

The dealer-installed packages are basically three levels of hardware, software, and styling combinations specifically designed for the Ford Ranger. The first two levels will become available for order this August, with Level 3 to launch next summer.
