The Ford Ranger is the first midsize pickup truck built by Ford in the US. Debuted in 1982, it took the place of the Ford Courier—a compact truck built by Mazda which was imported and sold by Ford. This midsize truck was meant to cater to the demand for smaller trucks with similar capabilities as the popular F-series trucks. After a 7-year hiatus, the Ranger is back in the US to capture the growing demand for midsize trucks.
As trucks are expected to be workhorses, we often forget that they’re not indestructible. Parts such as Ford Ranger bumpers may require replacement due to either collision or corrosion damage. Here’s what you need to know about replacing your bumpers.
As an exterior component located at the front and rear of your truck, the bumpers are likely to get dented and damaged over time. Here are some of the signs that you need to replace your Ranger’s bumpers.
Collisions and parking accidents can damage the front bumpers, while frequently loading heavy cargo and tools can dent your Ford Ranger rear bumper.
Front and rear bumpers do more than just enhance the look of your vehicle. They are crash safety components that are meant to crumple and absorb the force of a front or rear collision. It is recommended to have your bumpers checked by a certified mechanic after any road accident that involves these parts of your vehicle.
Rust buildup on metal components can lead to costly repairs down the road. Leaving a rusted step bumper on your truck can cause damage to spread to the tailgate and onto the truck bed. As soon as you notice any corrosion damage on your vehicle, the problem must be addressed immediately and the bumper replaced if necessary.
The cost of a Ford Ranger front bumper varies depending on your truck’s specific generation and model year. The cost of rear bumpers will depend on what design you choose. OE replacement bumpers will cost you anywhere between $70 to $500. These may be sold individually or as part of a kit.
Your truck’s front and rear bumpers have an aesthetic and utilitarian function. Replacing these components is very important to preserving the looks of your vehicle and at the same time, your passengers’ safety on the road. Here are some of the reasons why you should prioritize replacing a damaged bumper.
The bumpers are what give your truck its distinct look. Getting a new front or rear bumper for your vehicle can make your Ranger look brand new. You may also use replacement bumpers to customize your vehicle by choosing a bumper in a different finish or style.
A damaged bumper will not be able to effectively absorb and dissipate impact energy in a subsequent crash. Most bumpers cannot be repaired—they must only be replaced to guarantee the structural integrity of the material. Even if your bumpers look fine after a fender bender, it is recommended to have it checked by your trusted mechanic, just to be safe.
Replacing a damaged bumper cover gives your mechanic the opportunity to check other components of your bumper assembly for damage. This includes the bumper absorber, bumper bar, reinforcement bar, and brackets.
Except for coil spring 2wd trucks, all stock 2wd and 4x4 Ford Rangers already has a fitted crossmember on the torsion bar. Check if it has holes drilled already. If there doesn't seem to be any holes, drilling a couple wouldn't be too difficult. Installation of the tow hooks is a breeze because one doesn't need to remove the bumpers to reach the holes of the crossmember.
For any late 90s Ford Ranger that needs an upgrade to a more recent look, there are a couple of extra parts and accessories that should be obtained to get for a clean Ford Ranger bumper swap. First, look for a new header panel. Also grab a new set of headlights and corner lights. Don't forget to secure the lights on the panel with new retainers. Depending on the owner's taste, there are various grill options available in a body paint color or chrome finish. Pick between bumpers that have fog lamp holes or none. Some year models will also need a new hood for a perfect fit.
For the most part, the existing Ford Ranger bumpers should be just fine if a lift kit is added height to your truck. The body lift kit should include all the brackets and extensions needed so that the bumpers still look good even with all the changes. If the body lift kit was installed to make the adventurous Ford Ranger more suitable for off road applications, it might be a good idea to consider getting a customized prerunner bumpers.
