The Ranger is designed to handle challenging driving conditions, but you may want to consider adding mouldings or flares to protect your investment and enhance its style. These simple yet effective accessories provide protection from damage caused by debris on the road, and also give your Ranger a more rugged look.

Here are three products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point to give you an idea of what’s available. We’ve included information on Ford Australia’s genuine accessories, in case you’d prefer to stick to OEM.

  • What it is: A protective barrier that covers the edge of the car’s wheel arch or the lower portion of doors, which are common areas that can be struck by stones and debris that the tyres can fling up
  • Why you need it: To provide a layer of protection to stop minor damage that can build over time and affect your vehicle’s resale
