2020 Ford Ranger – FX4 Off-Road Package
If you are serious about driving off-road, you might want to equip your 2020 Ford Ranger with the FX4 Off-Road Package. This package optimizes the vehicle for steep, rocky terrain and a variety of possible situations. It includes all-terrain tires, exposed steel front backplates, skid plates, a Terrain Management System ™, and Trail Control ™ technology.
The Terrain Management System allows you to select the type of terrain you will be driving on. This lets the vehicle know how the environment will influence its traction and performance, allowing it to adapt. Modes include Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Sand, and Mud/Ruts.
2020 Ford Ranger – electronic-locking rear differential
An electronic-locking rear differential is a must-have system for those of you who drive on steep, slippery terrain. When you need more traction, the system can lock both wheel axles simultaneously. This feature is part of the FX4 Off-Road Package, but it can also be purchased as a separate option.
2020 Ford Ranger – off-road clearance
Off-road clearance is important when you drive through water or over large obstacles. Thankfully, the 2020 Ford Ranger sits high off the ground and has an optimized break-over angle for off-road driving. Furthermore, it has exposed front backplates and undercarriage skid plates that protect its underside from damage as you focus on navigating obstacles.
