It looks like these are the part #'s. You could message Benny @LevittownFordParts.com for a price.

So I contacted Redline Tuning as I have had their Hood Struts on my Mustang and Edge for many years with zero issues. Here is their response:

Hello Chris,
We have had a chance to look at the new Ranger and believe we have a Bolt-In solution for our Hood QuickLIFT system. The only issue we have is that our local dealer has no stock and all the Rangers they get in are pre sold, meaning we can’t get one here in the shop. Would you be able to post on the forum and find us a volunteer to come to our shop in Ann Arbor? We would need them to stay for about 1 – 1 ½ hours while we shoot the installation manual and video. In exchange they would get the system for free and have their truck featured in our manual and website. Please let me know if you have any questions.


So, is there anyone in Michigan with a 22+ Ranger that wants free Hood struts and help out the forum? Please contact them to get it set up! :like: Their phone is 734-238-6759 or contact them via their website: https://www.redlinetuning.com/Default.asp

Just as a side note, on their website, their basic setup with attachment points and struts is less expensive than just the stock struts from Ford (and these only work on the earliest 2022 model year trucks that still have the original attachment points).

Wow, you're right! Cheaper and even their stainless steel version is less! I sure hope they make one for us late '22s that have no strut hardware at all.

I'm going to drop them a note and ask, I figure if enough people ask, they're more likely to do it sooner.

Thanks for posting this stuff. =)


Update: Sent them an email - [email protected]

Hi Redline Tuning!
I saw a forum post that you might make a QuickLIFT for the 2022 Ford Ranger. I'd love your stainless steel system, it looks very well engineered.
I hope you can get your hands on a Ranger for fitment and it's a shame I'm in New Hampshire.
I'll keep checking your site, have a great weekend!
Good luck!
David

Yes it is, so with my newly-atrophied arms from @AzScorpion's evil damper spell, I'll probably drop the hood on my head struggling to use the prop rod!

So Live Free with a Damper and Die.

How cool is this! The owner of Redline answered back with the same info as above:

Hello David,
Thank you very much for reaching out to us. We have a Bolt-In system designed for the Ranger however we are having difficulty finding one local to us (Ann Arbor, MI) to bring in for a photo/video shoot for our instruction manual. Hopefully someone from the forum takes advantage of our offer for a free Hood QuickLIFT system to come in for a photo shoot as it only takes 1 ½ hours total. We have Hood QuickLIFT systems designed for over 350 application and would love to add the Ranger to our offerings.
Have a great weekend as well!
Regards,
Andreas Keller
Owner

C'mon, somebody? I've heard there are Rangers in Michigan. Won't someone help us out? My weak little kitten arms need struts!

I’ve got the time but about $70 in gas for the round trip. Wish they were closer ( I’m near Grand Rapids)
