You said it’s in Ruckersville, do you know who owns or is in possession of the vehicle. Who to contact? When where why how?!? You seem very plugged in. I’m not.

I would call M&M Service and Salvage Yards, Inc. 800-533-4099 or 800-248-6161. Not plugged in, just reading the screenshot.

Wonder if the light still works after pulling 10G’s

Couldn’t agree more. I might be peeing into the wind but I love everybody’s effort!

Umm, not sure if you noticed, but all the info of the wrecking yards that have rangers from car-part.com, including , name, number and location was posted twice in screen shots on previous page.

I missed it before, but I'm dialed in now. Calling tomorrow! Thanks!

To anyone interested. Taillight off a wreck is $700. Make a claim, pay $500 or pay $700 without a claim but it was in a wreck. Either way it’s a lot of coffee! Glad mine still works and I don’t have to decide now.

OUCH!!!!

They obviously know how much those are worth, but that seems pretty stiff for a junkyard part.

 

[Ranger Boyd]

well there ya have it.

I'm buying up all the used ones i can find, wreck or not, and charging $850 to sell them.

Clearly a conspiracy! You gentlemen better start garaging your Rangers!

What about that $85 one in Bellville? If it isn't radar, can you just swipe the lens?

The lenses are glued in placed which is why I was looking for one from the manufacturer. If they just clipped on, yours would be missing! Think I found the point of manufacture for the light. Still a 100-1 shot but... I’m sure they don’t want to deal with it but there is an employee website much like ranger5g.com. Maybe someone is a soft touch!

You'd need to find out who supplies the tail lamp assembly. Ford doesn't make this part. Could be a company like Valeo, ZKW or many others. It might be a long shot but that's the only way to get a lens before they are glued on and shipped to Ford's assembly line. If you examine the lamp, there should be a trademark molded into the outside of the part somewhere.

Think I found the manufacturer and the plant. Trick is trying to find the right person or department to speak to. I’m sure they don’t want to talk to a consumer looking for a piece of plastic! As I’ve said, it works so I can be methodical. Better would be to know where the plastic is molded before assembly.

The standard XL series taillight (without Co-Pilot 360) is not similar enough to swap lenses , even if it were possible.
Out of curiosity, I checked on the price of the standard halogen taillight today, Under $300 from Ford Parts and there may even be a core refund involved
.
I sympathize with the OP and hope he can get a good used one with the Radar.
You would think that the radar would be both separate and a lot cheaper since the whole system as an option is only $750...
Go Figger!
