Changes and Updates
The most notable change to the 2023 Ford Ranger is the addition of the Splash Jungle Edition Package, which is a limited-edition appearance package for the midsize pickup. It includes an exclusive color known as Eruption Green Metallic, which will be produced in very limited quantities and represents the only green exterior hue available for the model. This appearance package also adds a black mesh front grille with Eruption Green accents, and Magnetic-painted door handles, fender vent surrounds, bumpers, mirror caps, and wheel lip moldings. It also grants a set of 18-inch Matte Black wheels. Inside, the Splash Jungle Edition package adds Ash Gray stitching, with an eight-way adjustable driver seat and six-way front passenger seat.
Three other exterior accent packages have been deleted from the lineup, including the Splash Snow Edition Package, Splash Forest Edition Package and the Splash Sand Edition Package.
Four exterior colors have been deleted, while two new ones have been added. The deleted colors include Avalanche Gray, Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat, Desert Sand and Forged Green Metallic. New colors include Eruption Green Metallic, which is exclusive to the aforementioned Splash Jungle Edition Package, and Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat.
Both the XL Chrome Appearance Package and the XL STX Appearance Package now include halogen fog lamps. For the 2022 model year, LED fog lamps were included with both these packages.
