However, a carmaker can’t possibly account for billions of individual preferences across the globe for a particular model, and you’ll eventually be toying with the idea of sprucing up your all-stock rig. As such, the Blue Oval company shared three inspirations that can help you upgrade your Ranger.

1. Ford Ranger modified: Camping

If you have a truck built to drive through off-roads with ease, then going camping should be on the top of your list. You will discover places that normally don’t get visited by wanderers. Based on the inspiration from Ford, you can install a rooftop tent so you can comfortably sleep at night on the road.
