2021 Ford Ranger STX Special Edition Package

[Jim Oaks]

Dearborn, Michigan, September 23, 2020 – With 75 percent of Ford Ranger customers adding appearance packages to their new trucks, Ford is giving buyers of the entry-level Ranger pickup a new choice with the available STX Special Edition Package, bringing more style and technology to 2021 Ranger XL models.

“Ranger customers are asking for new options to help make their trucks their own and we hear them,” said Chad Callander, Ranger marketing manager. “STX Special Edition hits a really compelling and affordable sweet spot for a lot of Ranger buyers looking for just the right combination of tech and style.”

Ranger STX Special Edition features unique 18-inch black-painted wheels with machined-finished edges, 8-inch center touch screen, SYNC® 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM™, AppLink, dual-zone climate control, silver-painted interior accents and privacy glass with rear defrost – all for a package price of $995 MSRP.

STX Special Edition is an enhancement to the available STX Appearance Package with a starting MSRP of $28,045 (taxes, title and license fees extra). It is available on high XL trim level SuperCab or SuperCrew configuration and 4×2 or 4×4 driveline and can be bundled with FX2 or FX4 Off-Road Package.

“STX has been a strong seller on the base Ranger, but we’ve heard from some customers who want even more style and more tech in their XL trucks,” said Callander. “STX Special Edition now gives those customers that added style with the added benefits of having a touchscreen with SYNC 3 – at an affordable cost.” Ranger STX Special Edition joins other available packages including STX Appearance Package, Black Package, Chrome Appearance Package, and Sport Appearance Package.

Ranger buyers can also upgrade their adventure vehicles with the recently announced Ranger Tremor Off-Road Package, the most off-road capable, factory-built Ranger ever offered in the U.S.


New Ford Performance Parts Packages offers customers three different levels of off-road performance and styling upgrades purchased from the dealership, giving Ranger owners aftermarket-style accessorizing while keeping their vehicle’s warranty intact.

When I was reading this I thought "just what the world needs, more black wheels"

But those actually look really sharp, probably the best looking factory wheels for the new Ranger.

No stripes down the sides? Pitiful

 

[MXGOLF]

I would rather have a Lariat edition.

They look like a nightmare to keep clean..

I know right?! I'd like to see a new Ford Ranger STX with the classic STX stripes.

The original STX had a roll bar with lights on it too correct? Or were those both options then? The STX also came from the factory with a slight lift too or was it just larger tires? Seems like the STX trucks I've seen have had a very mild lift on them.

All optional, even hi rider leveling kit was an option.

The 89 4WD STX came standard with the factory lift but they didn't call it Hi Rider anymore. I think it was called the Sport Rider suspension. It was not exactly a leveling kit. I had to use add-a-lift springs in the rear to level it. It had a slight off-road racer look to it. After 89 the factory lift was not available anymore.

Never heard of the rear being lower than the front.

In 1987 & 1988, the Ford Ranger High Rider STX offered a unique suspension with a 1.5 inch factory suspension lift.

Here is a picture of my 89 STX with the add-a-leaf in the rear after I sold it to a co-worker.

It sits pretty level compared to my 02 FX4 with a heavy shell. The FX4 has air bags in the rear to level it. The STX had add-a-leaf spring and air bags in the rear to level it with that same shell.

Looks a lot like a longer version of @BlackBII's truck...

 

[Uncle Gump]

I so wanted one of those trucks back in the day... but my dreams were a bit bigger then my budget at that point in time.

Yeah it does! That's a nice looking truck you had there @gw33gp

Mine isn't an original STX of course. At this point it's about 4 trucks made into 1

My 96 stx is 4x4 but shorter suspension than standard 4x4
