I like the first Kansas package, looks sick. Would look even better if it wasn't a super crew.
When is Ford coming out with the War Package?

65 grand for a Ranger!!!! Got to be kidding.
Thats more than the combined value of my wife's 2018 Subaru Outback Touring model, my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, and my 2009 Ranger XL.
All that and they will probably never see a dirt road. Be used as cruisers and to drive to the local Sonic for Slushies.
UnnnnnBelieveable!!!!

Ohhh...can't take it out today, it's to hot...
Ohhh...can't take it out today, to windy, it'll get dust on it...
Ohhh...can't take it out today, it's raining and it'll get wet...
Ohhh...can't take it out today, it rained and the street is wet, it'll get dirty...
Ohhh...why did I buy this in the first place???
You realize that that's 10 grand more than a new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, and approaching the cost of a new Mustang Shelby GT 500!!!
IBeing in RV'ing for many years, I could see spending that on a loaded F-350 or F-450 to do some heavy duty towing, but for a Ranger...

That dealer in Kansas is doing some pretty cool stuff with all sorts of Ford trucks. Although he does lie in that video about the "beadlock" rims.. They're not a true beadlock. At least not on both the inside and outside of the rim...

The steel "rack" on the rear for mounting fog lights is a pretty cool accessory, but $2000 cool? Not a chance.

That's just about what my F150 cost, but it was still buried up to the axles in mud within a month of buying it. It's been so covered in mud you couldn't tell what color Ford painted it. Its only seen a few hundred off road miles, but it is only 2 years old.
I dont think $65k is all that much nowadays. I'm not saying that someone is going to beat it off-road like a $300 shitbox, but that price tag won't stop everyone. Look at all those Raptor guys that bent their frame trying to touch the stratosphere.

You sir, are the exception. Lets face it, the vast majority of "dressed up" trucks like those above will never see a day in the dirt n mud. The majority of buyers will not risk damaging them and having to pay for repairs.
Just imagine an owner bringing one of those into a dealer with a bent frame for warranty work..."Oh gee, don't know how that could have happened...I only hit the curb backing out at McDonalds".
Where I live (Va. Shenandoah Valley) there are huge ### of trucks, and many are used for what they were intended for. But go to any show or cruise in and there are huge ## of trucks that are dressed to the "nines" that have never seen a day of work, and when you ask if any owners have taken their dolled up, lifted rigs with 10 grand of suspension and 5 grand of huge off road tires, off road, they look at you like you just grew a third arm out of your arse.
All those dealers are doing is putting gobbs of money in their pockets for those "pretty add-ons"

Not bad really depending on price.

The snatch block actually looks like a quality, well built piece.
