Tuning outfit Roush Performance has revealed details of its enhanced 2021 Ford Ranger pickup truck.Â
Although the Michigan-based company is known for its modified Mustangs and F-150 trucks, the midsize Ranger does not miss out.
Roush promises a package of improvements that boost the off-road ability of the Ranger, whilst also adding extra refinement.
New exhaust for added aural aggression
Unlike the epic supercharged trucks that Roush is famous for, there is no giant V-8 beneath the hood of the 2021 Ranger. Instead, the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder remains untouched, delivering 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
However, Roush does fit a new cat-back stainless steel performance exhaust. This is said to improve power output, and sound quality, whilst remaining 50-state legal.
The company has previously offered performance packages for the EcoBoost Ranger, so an extra shot of power may not be far away.
More lift, more grab
Roush has paid particular attention to the suspension of the 2021 Ranger. A brand-new coilover kit has been developed with Fox, promising improved off-road ability.
The front coilovers are designed to give the Ranger a two-inch lift, said to level the stance of the truck. Shock absorbers made from 6061-T6 aluminum are used, and feature tuning designed specifically for the Ranger.
Installed beneath the lifted Ranger a set of custom 18-inch wheels, finished in satin black. These are equipped with 32-inch General Tire Grabber A/TX all-terrain tires, adding to the off-road prowess.
An extra dose of refinement
A trademark Roush-branded front grille, complete with integrated LED lights is one of the main exterior changes. Magnetic Gray paint for the fender flares, along with custom graphics, are the other noticeable alterations.
Inside, Roush upholsters the seats with diamond-stitched leather, along with adding embroidered headrests. A Roush Performance gauge cluster, and a special plaque for the dashboard, are included.
Roush can apply the full package to any 2021 Ford Ranger EcoBoost pickup, giving buyers extra flexibility.
Buying the upgraded truck adds $12,750 to the Ranger’s regular retail price, but include a three-year/36,000-mile warranty.
