Over the years on various vehicles, cable "chains" have been good for me. Looking at the inner sidewall clearance of the modern (stock) Rangers--I would not risk it on the front.

OK, thanks James--my brain doesn't work well in hot (for Seattle) weather.

Page 164 of the 2019 manual assumes a 4WD version of the drivetrain (and FX4). Does the 2WD Ranger only engage the locking diff between the speeds of 20 & 25 MPH? I was hoping it would work from 0 MPH, for example pulling out a loaded trailer at a boat ramp...

If they get enough demand, I'm thinking. ✅

Soft tread compound in freezing temperatures is so nice. The OP was asking about downsizing wheel diameter and I'd say yes--especially from 18"--because there is stuff on the road under the snow you can't see until you thump it. Downsizing tread width is usually recommended, say going from 265...

I thought brightly colored Rangers would be more popular. Here is a 2WD STX at a local dealer: I'd be tempted to paint the wheels black.

The company site confirms that dampers are incompatible. etrailer video posted today:

For that price, the ratchet had better be darned strong. You do get free stickers.

Thanks to J_D for the tip about Rack-It; I see they have dealers around Puget Sound. Questions for HenryMac: Is the extension physically connected or just aligned with the main assembly with mending plates? What is the vocabulary word for the u-shaped reinforcement plates? Edit: the photo...

As a trivia note: the ply rating is not necessarily the actual number of plies; modern materials allow fewer layers to be used.

I have not investigated OEM parts but for a thousand bucks in parts + onboard compressor there is: ARB Air Locker Locking Rear Differential for Dana M220 Axles (OEM Open Diffs Only) RD245

Physically modifying? I've been thinking Plasti-Dip could be an attractive option for the 16 & 17 inch steelies.

I want a Maverick Grabber small pickup, with a 302 V8! More seriously: rumors so far make it to be a unibody, not body-on-frame. Probably enough for my needs, honestly.

If someone is looking for a full set, autorimshop has them on ebay. Five sets available @ 419.96, shipped.

Darn, looks like I'll be waiting a long time to replace the truck I have with an electric equivalent. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/28/21240212/ford-lincoln-cancel-rivian-suv-ev-coronavirus-pandemic-investment

Has anyone seen wheel to wheel running boards for a supercab? (Providing a step for access to the front of the bed) F-250:

I kept waiting to see dumb stuff. I did find the video relaxing.
