Tough times call for tough vehicles. And that’s exactly what you see here. Concerned the Ford Ranger we get in Europe can’t hold a candle to a rufty tufty F-series pick-up from the States? Give APG a call.

California-based APG is responsible for the Prorunner kit you see here. For the sum of US$10,573 (approx. RM46,509) in kit form, or US$15,948 fully installed – so around RM70,152 – you can beef your Ranger up into something altogether more muscular.

Chief among the enhancements are a new carbon widebody (hand-laid and vacuum-infused, carbon construction fans) and adjustable, long-travel suspension. Wheels, tyres and shocks are up to you, mind. APG clearly sees the Prorunner treatment as part of a bigger, more ambitious build and offers an abundance of extras - stonking light bars included - accordingly.

Available on two- and four-wheel drive Rangers, you can fit it to any model made since 2019. Tempted?
