Where are the aftermarket parts? Non-Raptor

[ericsmr]

I feel like there has been such a lag for aftermarket parts, mods, accessories for non raptor 24-26 rangers and I’m not getting why. I know production isn’t quick but considering Raptor sales are 7% of all rangers, they have SUCH a better market and are constantly getting product updates on this forum by manufacturers.

where is the love for the rest of us?

we are worthless scum lol. I think the raptor owners are heavy spenders so they go right for them. what did you have in mind curious? I see suspension out, bed caps, rims, tires tunes so what is it that your not finding?

I was saying the same thing as I watched countless products release for the Raptor. Unfortunately with limited R&D time most manufacturers went after the raptor first.

Then the sluggish sales start meant they never circled back to us.

Had a lot of ARB gear on my 2019 and it doesn’t look like they are anywhere close to doing anything on the 2024s.

I want a suspension I can rebuild so waiting on the fox shocks, I see some people use front and rear from bronco but that makes me feel uneasy, idk. Aside from that I’m talking bumpers, lights, bull bars, fender flares, just cool stuff really! So frustrating

I have been sitting here hoping they do circle back, according to ChatGPT (grain of salt) historically for new gens of trucks we wont see mass production of aftermarket parts until about 2 years down the road, its suggesting Q1 of 2026 we will really start seeing some love for us. But who knows if thats true.. Just hoping those companies SEE THIS THREAD AND REALIZE WE HAVE MONEY AND WANT COOL STUFF TOO!!!! LOL!

I find that hard to believe. ARB is Australian and the top selling vehicle, not just truck, in Australia is the ranger.

reach out to some Australian 4x4 shops.... its huge over there and they have the stuff.... might have to ship it but.... not sure why the bronco stuff makes you uneasy, its the same platform for the most part.

Theres things out that that are semi compatible with some jerry rigging, I know the suspension doesnt require that but most other brackets, mounts, lights and other mods do require it. Just venting about the lack of dedicated stuff for US 6G rangers. Feels bad to see such sick builds in Australia or other mid size trucks and knowing theres nothing like that on the market yet for me. Theres over 100k on the road from 2024 and 25, wondering how many itll take for manufacturers to start working on stuff for us

Plus shipping from Australia these days with all the tariffs is nuts, I found a raptor style grille from out there for 200 + 200 shipping. Went with another version from Ycarpart for 200 + some change in shipping, but so far that and a level kit are the only 2"mods" to my truck

I’m also waiting on more options. I’m not looking to buy in a hurry, just to buy again and upgrade later. I’ve reached out to EGR USA on fender flares too, and they’re claiming that there are differences in the lines of the vehicle and that’s why they don’t offer US 6G fender flares. Which stinks cause nothing is compatible for the lariat with sensors and such. So there’s differences that aren't so obvious I guess. I’m just hoping SEMA has some stuff that’s exciting and gets folks rolling with new product development and manufacturing.

Good point. I looked at my list of aftermarket I put on trucks and 90% were standard on the RR. And at less price combined, as a factory truck, than if I bought from individual manufacturers and suppliers. You would think those people would jump on non-RR but then again, I think the big money is in full-size trucks. Ford is trying to bite into some of that aftermarket in Ranger with certain parts and accessories. Example is that for Ranger, Peragon has yet to make a Tectonics bed cover (which IMO would be great on RR) but the 2025 F150 version is out. I would like to see wheel well liners factory installed as an option or included on RR, or at least some quality ones that fit without trimming or drilling new holes from say, Weathertech. Seen mixed reviews on Husky Liner and have found their plastic a bit flimsy in the past. I have Ford factory liners on my F150; they fit perfectly and do a great job.

They might be hesitant since ford has previously cut the rangers. Maybe they fear it will happen again

Dobinson and Bilstein both have full suspension kits. Rival4x4 has some cool stuff, although some is on backorder. I saw a post with a 2.7 with fender flares. Lights are available. If you look hard enough you'll find some stuff.

Can you link the Bilstein you mentioned? Nothing shows for 6G Rangers. Just Dobinson and Eibach are all that I’ve ever seen.

Many after market companies are two years or more behind on Ranger, if they ever make something. Maybe wrong but don't think Bilstein makes kits for 6G Rangers. Check Stage 3 Sports.

I would like to see a nice stainless steel dual exhaust from Borla for the 2.7L V6.
