I'm now on my fifth Ranger but have had two F-150s, five Mustangs (two GT-350s), three VWs and an Escape. So, some of this will be 'tainted' by other vehicles.
Battery: Interstate
Every Interstate battery I've had has lasted 7+ years. With the dearth of driving I do, age is more of a consideration than mileage. I also raced an F Production Austin-Healey Sprite in SCCA. That car had no charging system so the battery provided all of the power to the MSD ignition system. It never failed. That said, the last F-150 had a Walmart battery in it and it sat outside for two Chicago winters. It never failed to start the engine and temperature nor inactivity seemed to bother it.
Spark Plugs: Motorcraft
I would also trust NGK (the race car had these).
Spark Plug Wires: Motorcraft
For every Ford I've ever had, I've used nothing else. The race car had MSD wires in it to go along with the rest of the MSD system. Also, very good.
Belts/Hoses: Gates
I've never used anything else and have never had any issues.
Oil Filter: Motorcraft
I would also use Wix and/or Purolator
Air Filter: Motorcraft
Or, Wix.
Oil: Motorcraft
For anything that doesn't use synthetic or synth-blend, I'd go with Kendall. The race car's engine was my proving ground.
Brakes/Rotors/Pads: Hawk or Raybestos
The race car used Mintex.
Suspension: Moog
I still like what I get from these guys even though they're not as good as they used to be. However, I don't feel as if they've fallen off as much as other suppliers/manufacturers.
U-Joints: Dana-Spicer
I don't consider any other brand to be even close.
Bearings: NTN
Timken is a very close second. Race car tested.
Seals: National
I don't consider any other brand to be even close. Race car tested.
Tires (on road): Michelin
They're pricey but you get what you pay for. Would also consider General and BFG (esp. for off road). Hard pass on Continental.
Wiper Blades: Bosch
Nothing seems to work or last as long as they do. I replace them yearly and they seem just as good after a year as they do new.
