Ford just added 3 new off-road performance packages for the Ranger pickup to make it more rugged — see their coolest features
  • Ford is offering three new off-road accessory performance packages for the Ranger mid-size pickup truck.
  • They start from $2,495 MSRP and go to $8,995 MSRP.
  • The Level 1 and Level 2 packs will be available in August. Level 3 will be available next summer.

The weather is warm, which means it's time to go outside and get muddy in a pickup truck. If you have a new Ford Ranger lying around, Ford Performance has some off-road accessories for you to check out.

No, Ford hasn't given us an update on the much-anticipated-but-not-yet-available Ranger Raptor — but think of these three new accessory packages as the steps you can take between a normal Ranger and the Ranger Raptor.

Ford, according to a press release, says that new 2019 Ranger owners in the US gave their mid-size pickup trucks about $650 worth of accessories last year alone. The people really do seem to love to accessorize their pickup trucks.

So, clearly, to meet market demand, the automaker is offering three dealer-installed performance accessory packages for 2019 and 2020 four-wheel drive Rangers to those who want a little more ruggedness out of their trucks.

Keep scrolling to see all three.
