It's been just a couple of days since the all-new Ford Ranger was revealed to the world. Although the version shown was a global model with a few differences from the US-bound truck, it's fundamentally the same vehicle. As with other rugged new Fords, the new Ranger will come with a large range of accessories to suit any lifestyle or activity. Some of these have now been previewed on the Ford Australia website with collaborators including ARB. While we can't guarantee all these extras will be available stateside, it gives prospective Ranger customers an idea of what to expect.

The accessories are divided into Off-Road, Touring, and Camping categories. In the Off-Road category, the 2023 Ford Ranger is kitted out with parts like red tow hooks, LED spotlights, a front skid plate, a bull bar in the same color as the body, and a black snorkel. Combined with good approach/departure angles, this accessorized Ranger should be a capable off-roader. There's also a roof rack for carrying extra camping bags or other outdoor equipment. In the Touring section, the Ranger looks a bit less hardcore but is still a bold truck. This one has extended mirrors for improved visibility when towing, a black grille bar, and roof racks. There's also a bolder front bumper and the bar itself has a LED light strip integrated into it.

The Camping category says it all. Here, the Ranger comes equipped with upgrades for those spending extended time in the great outdoors. The bed area is protected with a canopy and above that is a rooftop tent, accessible with a ladder. The tent itself extends beyond the truck's roof, providing some more shelter should the weather turn bad. This Ranger does without the front bull bar of the other two models. We've seen the Bronco with some similar accessories, including a rooftop tent, and these Ranger add-ons underline Ford's commitment to appealing to an outdoorsy demographic. No prices have yet been revealed for the new Ranger or its accessories, but we'll find out more in the months to come.
