Attracting attention from multiple shops and Ford's own accessories team, the mid-size Ranger pickup has been one of the more-popular project vehicles at this year's SEMA show.
The RTR Ranger featured at SEMA shows off the depth and breadth of upgrades RTR, owned by drifter Vaughn Gittn, Jr., is making available to Ranger customers. The basic package includes front and rear fender flares, an RTR graphics package, a Fox 2.0 suspension kit with external bypass shocks, and Nitto Ridge Grappler tires on 17-inch RTR Tech 6 off-road wheels.

RTR's SEMA demo also boasts a Ford Performance cat-back exhaust. Additional upgrades, such as a leather package and RTR grille with an integrated LED light bar, can drive up the base cost of $9,800.
"Being an off-road enthusiast and a lover of the great outdoors, I am in love with the way the Ford Ranger RTR can allow you to explore roads and lands less traveled," said Gittin, Jr.
"The smaller footprint of the Ranger RTR allows navigation on narrow canyons and the tight trails that you find off the grid. The Ranger RTR has the capability to traverse all terrains and looks great doing it!"
RTR has close ties to Ford. The company's package can be ordered and installed at local dealerships.
The Ford-RTR partnership has resulted in several other exciting vehicle collaborations, including a 700-horsepower supercharged Mustang package. RTR first got into the pickup game with a skunkworks F-150 project that arrived back in April.
RTR's "Rambler" build appeared alongside several other featured projects in Ford's booth this year, including an in-house build featuring Ford's various dealer-installed accessories for its new pickup.
