About Ford Ranger Truck Accessories

The numerous accessories that a Ford Ranger truck owner might purchase range from the necessary items, such as alarms, to the vanity items, such as stickers or a more decorative grill. The word "accessory" tends to sound like an item bought purely for vanity purposes; however, some are after-sell additions that the owner chooses for his specific needs and safety.

Safety Accessories

The accessories for the Ford Ranger in the safety category are a hitch to hide keys, a steering wheel wrap that makes theft impossible by locking the steering wheel in place, wiper blades that don’t squeak and outlast the average blades due to its coating of silicon, and a traction weight that fits easily in the bed of a truck. They also feature mirrors with wide-angle viewing that are easily added to the truck’s side mirrors and a priority start gadget. The wheel wrap also includes a security alarm that sounds when someone is attempting to remove it.

Interior Accessories

There are two problems that all vehicles have. The first is an extremely cold steering wheel, and the second is the heat generated inside a vehicle from the summer sun on the windshield. Ford Ranger accessories include wheel skins and heat shields to eliminate both problems. There are also dash mats in multiple colors, armrest replacements, and drool bibs for dogs that love to ride with their owners, and a car cozy for those long cold trips in the northern states. Some specialty items are for pet travel such as the pet net, pet pad seat protector, pooch guard, and a hitch-up pet step.

Exterior Accessories

While most accessories for the exterior of a Ford Ranger truck are for vanity purposes—and there’s nothing wrong with that—some, like the door edge protector, can be a blessing. The door edge protector keeps other people from banging the trim and paint on a parked vehicle. Hood scoops, license plates, chrome accessories, and light bars add a personal touch, while truck steps, tire steps and sun deflectors can be very accommodating for the older truck owner.
