Ford Ranger Modifications by Tickford
The Ford Ranger, one of the top selling cars in the country offers a great model range from every day workhorse through to flash weekend warrior. But being one of the most popular cars on sale means there's a lot of them out there. What if you want yours to be a little different? A little more power, a meaner more muscled up look or a slightly nicer interior but all without voiding your warranty. Tickford - better known for hotting up V8 Falcons in the 90's and early 2000's have made a come back and they've got the current Ford lineup in their sites. Kicking off with the Ranger, they've created an extensive collection of upgrade packages which you can buy as stand alone items, or take the whole lot to give you the ultimate Ford Ranger.
Ranger Power Pack
Very few would say the Ranger is under powered. Rolling out of the showroom with 147kW and 470Nm give the Ranger ample power to make the most of its 3,500kg towing capacity. But more is always better isn't it, especially when you're towing boat or caravan. Backed by Tickford's own driveline warranty which covers the balance of the new car warranty on your Ranger, you'll get 15% more power and a whopping 20% more toque bringing the figures up to 169kW and an almost everything beating 564Nm of torque. What does the package include to get those figures safely enough to put a warranty on it? A number of new components and updates including Tickfords own Performance Diesel Tune, larger intercooler and hard pipe kit, 2.5 inch Tickford stainless steel cat-back exhaust system with dual side outlet exhuast tips wrapped in carbon, a high flow long life air filter, plus bold Tickford badging for the tailgate. Aside from increased peak power, the power pack also offers improved driveability and for some users you may also see a decrease in fuel consumption.
Performance Exhaust
Should you just want the 2.5 inch cat back exhaust that makes up part of the Power Pack, Tickford are happy to oblige and give you the exact same system with dual side outlets and carbon wrapped tips. The ehxuast also includes a Tickford Performance muffler, Tickford interior badge and a 12 month warranty on all parts required.
20 Inch Wheel, Tyre & Flare Pack
The Ranger Wildtrak is already an imposing presence on the road, but beside the Tickford Ranger, it's almost relegated to the shadows. A big set of flares over a big set of wheels dominates the external appearance of the Tickford Ranger making it look less suburban workhose and more about getting down to dirty business. The wider track and increased footprint has been tested by Bosch Automotive, ensuring the Ranger's already impressive safety systems continue to operate as intended. The kit includes a set of 4 20x9 inch Tickford alloy wheels wtih 265/50/R20 Goodyear AT Tyres, satin black Tickford fender flares, Tickford centre caps and a tyre pressure warning system. The flare kit can also be purchased separately from the wheel and tyre kit if you have your own set in mind.
