ARB Summit MKII? (USA spec)

[Baldwin1992]

I’m sorry to beat a dead horse.

Upgraded to 2025 Ford Ranger XLT following my 2019 Ford Ranger build. I fell in love with the ARB Summit Bumper for 5th gen rangers. However, after market support has been limited for 6th gen rangers.

I just got word from ARB USA that the ARB Summit MKII (6th gen Rangers) is coming January/February.

Anyone hearing similar news?

I'll believe it when I see it. We've been told "it's coming in a couple months" several times now. This is an improvement over the last word from ARB that we were basically SOL I guess. Having now installed a Dobinson 4x4 Australian market bull bar on my US '24 XLT I sure hope that if ARB does bring any of their bumpers here they are properly designed for our trucks because they are surprisingly different than the Aussie/ROW trucks.

This is the problem. A lot of the manufacturers, Ironman, Dobinsons, ARB rushed into announcing products for the 6th Gen US Ranger thinking it would be interchangeable only to find the differences beneath the skin are considerable. I know theres a fair few bumpers sitting in a warehouse because of this. They’ve had to totally re-engineer them. Throw in the fact the last couple of years we’ve had Toyota release Land Cruiser, new Tacoma etc which are much bigger $$$ makers for the aftermarket than the Ranger, this is why we are where we are.
