Build your Ford Ranger into a capable overland truck.
Ford brought the Ranger back to the US lineup in 2019 as a midsize alternative to the F-150: smaller footprint, easier to maneuver on tight trails, and enough bed and payload capacity for a real overland setup without the size of a full-size truck. It's become a popular base for builds that prioritize trail width and efficiency over outright hauling capacity.
At Gearlanders we carry gear sized for the Ranger's midsize bed: a truck bed air mattress for the 5-foot bed, a universal overland bed rack, the Stealth hardshell rooftop tent (3-person), a 6.5-foot awning, a trailer hitch step, and a satellite communicator for remote routes.
Who this is for: Ranger owners who want a midsize overland rig without the size and weight of a full-size truck. Good fit for solo travelers and couples doing multi-day trips on tighter trails where a smaller footprint matters.
Why Ranger owners upgrade for overlanding use
- Sleeping: The Stealth hardshell rooftop tent mounts to the universal bed rack, or use the truck bed air mattress sized for the 5-foot bed
- Shelter: A 6.5-foot awning adds shade and rain cover sized to the Ranger's smaller footprint
- Communication: A Garmin inReach Mini 2 keeps you connected on remote routes without cell service
- Access: A trailer hitch step makes loading the bed and rack easier
