What is the FX4 package on a Ford Ranger?

As an off-roader, the Ford Ranger pickup might seem somewhat bland, but the FX4 off-road package, which adds an off-road-focused FX4 suspension, beefier tires, locking rear differential, skid plates, and tow hooks, spices things up a little.

Is the Ford Ranger FX4 Level 2 off road?

In 2007, the Ford Ranger FX4 Level II had a FX4 Off-Road sticker on the bed, and a decal on the doors that said ‘Level II’. From 2008-2009, there was only a FX4 Off-Road (no Level II). The 2002, 2008, 2009 FX4, and 2003-2007 FX4 Level II have either an all black interior, or black with either red or blue inserts.

Which is faster the Ford Ranger Raptor or the FX4 Max?

We expect that the Ford Ranger FX4 MAX will be faster than the Ford Ranger Raptor given that it is lighter. Over rocky roads, however, we’ll have to hand it to the Ranger Raptor. However, the FX4 MAX will put up a fight because it comes equipped with 2-inch Fox shocks, similar to that of the Ranger Raptor’s.

Can a Ford Ranger FX4 get you a speeding ticket?

The latest FX4 version of the Ford Ranger looks so perky, it can almost get you a speeding ticket while it’s in the driveway during lockdown. I picked up this FX4 test vehicle just before New Zealand moved to Alert Level 4. Which means (a) I’ve had it for the duration and (b) it really hasn’t gone very far.

What kind of tyres does a Ranger FX4 Max use?

Ranger FX4 MAX provides you with superior handling characteristics off the beaten path, with the BFGoodrich ® all-terrain tyres boasting a precise tread pattern and tougher side walls than standard factory tyres.

What kind of tires does a Ford Ranger FX4 use?

A key part of the FX4 package is the 31-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO tires on Alcoa aluminum wheels. This combo means that we won’t have to replace the wheels and tires first thing, as the Alcoa wheels look great and the BFGs provide plenty of traction.
