Offroad question

[tony314]

I'll admit it. I'm clueless as to what the offroad package is on my truck lol.

I believe the off road package was skid plates and maybe the l/s but I am not certain about the l/s.

it's a poor excust to charge you an extra $5k

different tires, shocks, skid plate, gears, should be a trans cooler if auto, fancy sticker, and a LS rear end.

now, what you have? ive got no idea lol.

Unless its a Level II and you get fancy wheels and tires, and some cool shifters and white gauges. And a limited slip rear.

And the 2002 FX4 with MT and 2003 FX4 Level 2 with MT were the only 98+ Rangers with a manual transfer case. A rare find....

And I'd take manual transfer case over electronic and time

For '99-2000, the sale brochure shows 16" cast alum wheels, Buldge shock absorbors, P245/75R-16 tires and a 4.10 rear gear (no mention of L/S as standard). '99'
came with fog lights, not with the 2000. Had to go out and look at my door sticker for 2000 off-raod and it shows a 97 for rear gear, 4.10 open. I believe tow hooks came on those years stock even on the Sport versioon.

Mac is correct, the limited slip diff was NOT part of the Offroad package for '98-'00, and probably even into the later years too. My uncle's '98 truck has the "4x4 Offroad" package, yet it has a 3.73 open rearend under it (code 96 on the door sticker).

Prior to '98, the package did include a L/S axle (I bought my '94 with it). As is often the case, Ford's thinking doesn't always make much sense.

I do want to put a rear locker in it at some point.

I would just take a Level II in general haha

There are more options available for the open diff (if that is what you have) so that is a plus.

I doubt Ford thought that far ahead but that would be a really good reason to want a open diff on an "offroad" truck.

Compare to the coveted FX4 that could have the Torson... no lunchboxes for you unless you pony up for a carrier.
