The Ford Ranger PX2 is a pickup truck that’s regularly described as a workhorse. It’s also often (and incorrectly) referred to online as the T7, when it’s actually the T6 PX2!
From its handling and performance to its interior comfort and connectivity, this vehicle provides a long list of features that make it the perfect companion across many fields, including for those who work in agriculture.
Its hill descent control is just one of the nifty features that will come in handy when working in the great outdoors as Practical Motoring describes:
“Electronic Hill Descent control can be used at speeds below 40km/h, in high or low range, and in any gear, forward or reverse. It will deactivate above 60km/h and reactivate when you slow below 40km/h. The slowest speed possible is 2km/h, and that can be varied by pressing the cruise up/down controls which change the speed by 2km/h per tap. Or, press-and-hold to change speed quickly.”
And the perks of being a Ford Ranger PX2 owner don’t end there! Those looking to make their 2015-19 model even more primed and ready for work mode should explore the following upgrades…
Transform your load bed
The T6’s capacity isn’t exactly limitless, but that’s where this upgrade comes in! Providing one of the best Ranger storage solutions, a super secure compartment and a premium look, the ARB Sportlid V Load Bed Tonneau Cover is high quality, versatile and completely customisable.
The Sportlid is designed to keep the load bed of your PX2 secure and its contents away from prying eyes. The tonneau cover is a handy alternative to the traditional hard top, and can be attached and removed simply and conveniently. Its durable ABS construction – complete with gas struts for easy operation – can also be colour coded to match your Ranger.
Combine your Sportlid with a range of optional extras, including interior lighting, central locking, strut kit, sports bar, cross bars and even the renowned ARB BASE Rack.
Add a rack for more storage
If you’d prefer to keep your load bed open but don’t want to miss out on the storage potential, you should try the Front Runner Slimline II Load Bed Rack Kit. It sits just above your Ranger’s truck bed once installed and is great for freeing up space.
This kit provides everything you need to maximise storage space for work or play, including the Slimline II tray (1475mm x 1358mm), two tracks, 6 pickup truck bed universal legs and full installation instructions.
Prepare your PX2 for towing
Whether it’s heavy loads you’ll need your vehicle to cope with on a daily basis or you’re towing regularly as part of your job, Pedders Air Bags with Optional Air Assist Compressor should be your go-to.
This suspension aid is made for towing trailers, caravans and horse boxes, and carrying heavy loads for trade or leisure purposes, and will provide the lift needed to prevent the strain that causes rear suspension problems and premature failure.
Customise your driving experience
Even if you’re using your Ford Ranger PX2 for work, performance still matters. Using your T6 day in, day out should be a pleasure, not a chore, which makes the EVC Throttle Controller a highly recommended Ranger upgrade.
With the award winning EVC Throttle Controller, you can sharpen or dampen your throttle response at the touch of a button to improve acceleration and enhance the overall drivability of your vehicle. This vehicle-specific device fits all Ranger model variants, including the Ford Wildtrak and Raptor.
Don’t forget about brake performance
The performance of your engine isn’t the only thing that matters. For improved stopping power, whatever the conditions, choose the ultimate brake performance kit.
The DBA Xtreme Performance Brake Kit is suitable for the Ford Ranger T6 PX1, PX2 and PX3 (2011-22), and is a market leader. Each and every component that makes up this kit has been tried and tested in the most extreme environments to guarantee reduced brake fade, improved component life and reliable braking, even in heavy and modified vehicles.
