So, FORD has finally decided to eliminate the hood struts all together on the 22 Rangers. Is it because they are cost cutting, or is it because they know this truck does not need any dampers??
With that being said, it appears FORD removed the anchoring plate/stud from under the hood (must have gone through the remaining parts) for the dampeners. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket for this feature? Looks like the prop rod is here to stay, and I can only assume other new model vehicles, Maverick, 23 Rangers, etc. will probably be propped as well. Is this an opportunity to push the aftermarket hood dampeners like the tailgate?? DeeZEE hood dampeners??
Thoughts?
If my front end doesn't need a dampener...I don't need one in the rear! (That's what SHE said)
Let the dampener debate continue
Edit: I'm sure new 2022 members here going forward will have a need for this.
