- Off-road variant of rear-drive Ranger
- Package includes locking differential
- Suspension, tires geared for off-road use
- Extra underbody protection
- Package priced at $595
Ford will introduce a more off-road ready version of its 2020 Ranger with the FX2 Off-Road package that includes some of the gear found on the all-wheel drive FX4 variant. Offered late this year, the FX2 will be available on 2020 Ford Ranger XL, XLT and Lariat models.
Among the items available on the 2020 Ford Ranger FX2 are an electronic locking rear differential, a retuned suspension with greater travel, standard 17-inch and optional 18-inch off-road tires and a front underbody guard which deletes the standard chin spoiler, which improves the vehicle’s approach angle. Also included is Ford’s off-road instrument cluster, which displays vehicle yaw, pitch and roll in real time.
“FX2 expands Ranger’s options for customers who want tough, off-road style with the functionality of a locking differential but don’t need four-wheel drive,” said Brian Bell, Ford Ranger marketing manager. “This is another way our customers can personalize Ranger to match their lifestyle while getting a great value. The FX2 Package is a result of us listening to our customers and what they’re demanding from their trucks.”
