Ford knows trucks: a bold statement to make, but one that’s been backed up by an impressive line of products through decades of experience, emphasized further by Ford’s decision to focus more on their SUV and pick up offerings (with the exception of the Mustang). The recently released Ranger FX4 Max serves to bridge the gap between the Ranger Wildtrak and the halo Ranger Raptor. But more than being a lite-version of the top-of-the-line Ranger Raptor, there are certain things that the FX4 Max actually does better.
The FX4 Max certainly looks the part. Similar to the Raptor, the grille features the large “Ford” lettering, and also sports the same BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires, despite being slightly narrower at 265/70/R17. For reference, the Raptor’s tires come in at 285/70/R17.
