Gen 6 Ranger is not a priority for ARB

[Ron Quixote]

Hello, unfortunately at this time any plans for the new Ranger are unknown as priorities have shifted away from this vehicle.

Yeah, still waiting for those RokBlokz mud flaps. Reminds me of my 2nd Gen Xterra days. Nobody wants to make stuff for these trucks.

I ordered RokBlokz mud flaps for my ‘25 RR and I had them delivered in less than two weeks. My son and I installed them the week before Christmas and we had no issues. Did you order special color? Mine were black with black RB logo.

They are not currently available for Rangers.

So ARB USA posted this picture on their Facebook page on December 22nd

I hope this tease leads to a product and not blue balls

one thing about ARB USA that is just as maddening is they have a bumper for the 2021-2024 F150, the 2024-2026 F150 has the same design, yet if you enter in on their site "2024 Ford F150" it says "sorry this does not fit your vehicle, so they lied about it. so maybe it only fits 2021-2023 USA F150s. and I also have seen a small number of any aftermarket parts for the 2024+ USA Rangers, however RealTruck has a huge selection of aftermarket parts for any trucks whether they're American or imports like Nissan or Toyota. sad this is I love the Ranger but the aftermarket has shrunk for it since the release of the 2024 redesign, but the 5th Gen (2019-2023) has a HUGE selection of aftermarket. so is the 5th Gen really the better choice? I think Ford should have stuck with that design for a little longer.

For those who want one, I just found this on Dobinson's US site:

https://dobinsonusa.com/product/dob...n-2-bull-bar-ford-ranger-2022-2025-bu19-5745/

It's pretty awesome to see options starting to become available for these trucks!

I was wanting an ARB Ascent over a Maxliner Venture, however, I won't wait for a non-color matched one. Might as well get the Maxliner sooner.

ARB customer service email update I got today:


"It appears that this just shipped from manufacturing. The ETA for this to arrive here in the US is around September. But that still may change depending on logistics.

Please note only the below colors will be available:

• Absolute Black
• Carbon Grey
• Oxford White "

I mean, at least that's something...right?

The Ranger definitely does NOT seem to be a priority for ARB USA. Even though it's the number one truck in Australia and the UK and they have a million accessories already developed, most of which would fit the trucks here, and they keep showing pictures and videos of it on their US Facebook page. Seems odd.

Having a Gen 6 Ranger I have found that aftermarket vendors have been slow or nonexistent to having products for these owners. I recently wrote ARB about upcoming availability of bumpers and other products from ARB and this was their response to my inquiry,

That has been the most disappointing thing for me about this truck. The aftermarket support is dismal. Don't get it....
