Hi TB,

In a nutshell....it is the regional Marketing that develops what is offered. Marketing in the USA or Canada determines what they will offer for unique packaging here. I reference the Nite F Series for which I did the suspension mods. Not sold outside the USA.

Send Ford Customer Care an email to express your desire for such here in this market... BTY the countries that builds this damn things is not only the USA.

Best,

Tired of all the sticker stripes.

Hope they added some HP to go with all those “racing” stripes.

I was about to say, those are just "rally" style side graphics with standard double racing stripes. You can get them made and installed in the USA at any vinyl shop. On top of that they will charge you a lot less than a dealership...

Vinyl shops are a very lucrative business now a days, they are everywhere.

No suspension mods? I do like the grill though, better than the grill on my Lariat.

The article gave no specifications, but it looks a touch lower to me. Am I just wishing though?

I think it's smaller tires TBH

Here in South Africa the XL is the entry level in the range, and that XL Street looks the same but with some vynil and black rims.
Expect it to have a bare bones interior, the 2.2 diesel engine (It looks like the low suspension, so I'd guess it's the 90kw, 5spd manual model) and few features.

wow... love it...
I just bought a 2020 xlt 4x4 (which I wanted)

but when driving home from work the other night...
I got thinking that the ranger in 2wd with a locking rear diff and a nice exhaust as well as a TUNE would be a freaking blast.

The US could use a truck option/package like this...

I like the look of it, but I'm glad we have a more traditional front bumper instead of a complete plastic cover and better looking tail lights.

Not to forget the MUCH better looking backdoor (with or without a damper)
