Ford Ranger Splash is back for 2022 - Sort of......

I still want to use that paint scheme on something. I liked that blue with purple metallic....


Maybe it will look good on my next daily driver when I finish the 29 roadster

What's the latest on that fiasco?

We'll see it soon on Bring A Trailer.

Trying to be optimistic.... I like the seats and console lid with the color coordinated stitching...

I do not like how the console box is so far back. The shifter takes up too much room.

would be much better with a column shifter or knob on the dashboard.
Then the console could come up farther and still have plenty of room for cup holders.

Opinions vary. Column shifters are for mini vans and 4 door sedans. One of the things that sold us on the Ranger is the interior is sporty and not boxy like every other domestic truck on the market

Id still rather have a coulmn lever than a knob, my luck Id twist the “shift” dial while trying to turn the radio up. While flare sides arent as useful from a cargo capacity, if they are going to bring back the splash it should be the flareside box, and have body-color bumpers.

@racsan I saw the "inspiration" to your paint scheme in traffic Yesterday. Two tone silver/blue paint on a F100 "Ranger". I wanted to snap a pic but was driving. It was really cool to see it, and know a little bit about it.

• A sporty, stylish blast from the past returns as the Ford Ranger adds the Splash™ Package for the 2022 model year
• Ranger Splash Package includes distinctive orange and black body-side graphics, unique matte black wheels, orange and black trim inside and out, and specially designed seats
• Ranger will also be available with Splash Limited Editions – one-time-only colors that will drop every few months, with Splash™ – Snow Edition kicking off the first batch of these limited-run offerings

DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 1, 2021 – Ford Ranger fans, the Splash™ is back. The much-loved special appearance package from the 1990s is making a comeback, reimagined for today and starting with the 2022 Ford Ranger Splash™ Package.

“Ranger customers love to personalize their trucks – more than 80% customize their Ranger with an appearance package – and with Splash, we’re giving them something exclusive,” said Chad Callandar, Ford Ranger marketing manager. “Every few months, we’re going to roll out another exterior color for Ranger that will be offered one time only and in very limited quantities.”

Splash will come in two styles, the Splash Package and Splash™ Limited Edition. The Splash Package will be available all model year and comes with body-side orange and black graphics and special 18-inch 12-spoke wheels finished in matte black. Ranger Splash includes orange grille nostrils, plus gloss black accents on the grille, bumpers, rearview mirror caps, wheel lip moldings and fender vents. The interior features exclusive seats with orange contrast stitching and unique carbon grain with tuxedo stripes – leather-trimmed in Lariat. Orange contrast stitching also appears on the steering wheel, gear shifter and parking brake boot. Lariat models get orange accent stitching on front and rear armrests and on the dash top.

The Splash Package can be combined with the FX2 or FX4 Package to add more off-road capability to its distinctive looks.

Ford will also bring a fresh dash of color by revealing Splash Limited Edition trucks every few months in a series of one-time-only hues with just a few hundred vehicles available. It also features 18-inch matte black wheels and a unique combination of exterior and interior content and finishes. The Splash – Snow Edition kicks off the first batch.

Ranger Splash Package will be available for SuperCrew models optioned in XLT and Lariat trim series, priced at $1,495 with deliveries starting at the end of the year. Ranger is proudly built at Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan.

NOTE: I don't think this splash is as uniquely identifiable as the old Ford Ranger Splash.

Maybe it should look more like this:

I was always more partial to the old Ranger Edge.
