Gear
Gallery1
A common challenge with dual-cab utes is keeping the cargo area organised and accessible. With the right drawer system for your Ford Ranger, you can keep all of your gear and tools organised, making it easier to find what you need, when you need it.
Here are four products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point, to give you an idea of what’s available. We’ve included information on Ford Australia’s genuine accessories, in case you’d prefer to stick to OEM.
What it is: A system of drawers that is mounted in the cargo tray.
Why you need it: These systems allow for easy storage and retrieval of whatever you're looking to carry, from tools and equipment to recreational items like fishing gear, while not limiting the floor space for carrying lengthy items.

Ford Australia/ARB licencing agreement
Ford Australia has a licencing agreement with ARB. Order ARB accessories when you order your Next-Gen Ranger, and they’ll be covered by Ford’s 5-year warranty. So if you have a warranty issue, there are no grey areas about which company’s responsible.
If you order ARB accessories after purchase (through a Ford dealer), they’ll be covered by the remainder of the warranty period.
