With around 75 percent of Ford Ranger buyers choosing an appearance package for their rides this year, the Dearborn automaker has launched a new optional bundle of upgrades for the pickup truck, dubbed the STX Special Edition Package.
Available for the 2021 Ranger XL, with
two- or four-wheel drive in the SuperCab and SuperCrew configurations, it is an
enhancement to the Ranger STX Appearance Package that starts at US$ 28,045 and
adds visual upgrades and more gear, for a recommended retail price of US$ 995.
Choosing the STX Special Edition Package
will get you the black 18-inch wheels with machined-finished edges, as well as
silver-painted interior accents and rear privacy glass. An 8-inch touchscreen
infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM and AppLink, is
also included, alongside the dual-zone climate control.
The new STX Special Edition joins the
Black, Chrome Appearance and Sport Appearance packages. Furthermore, customers
can also upgrade their trucks with the new Tremor Off-Road Package, which
boosts the rock-crawling ability of the vehicle with a new suspension, elevated
ground clearance, underbody protection and 17-inch wheels shod in 32-inch
all-terrain tires from Continental, making it “the most off-road capable,
factory-built Ranger ever offered in the U.S.”, according to Ford.
