Hi folks, long time lurker on this forum, first time posting. I tried searching for this but couldn’t find any info.
My question is about the published ground clearance of 8.9 inches on 4x4 Rangers. For XL AND XLT trims the FX4 package comes with 265/65R17 tires, while the 4x4 comes with 255/65R17 tires. It seems these 2 tires have a difference in diameter of 0.5 inches (30.1 vs 30.6) which would equate to ~0.25 inches difference in ground clearance. So ultimately, I’m curious if the official ground clearance number of 8.9 is for an FX4 or a 4x4?
I realize this is a small difference but since ground clearance is reported to the nearest tenth of an inch, I would think this would be reported. Or am I missing something entirely?
Thanks!
