Ford's Answer to the Bro-Dozer: A Ranger With One Axle to Spare

· 1 min read

Ford has built a prototype Ranger Super Duty with a third axle and a tray bed, putting the truck squarely in 6x6 configuration. Where that layout usually shows up on oversized show trucks built more for spectacle than labor, this one reads as a working proposition: a mid-size Ranger platform stretched just enough to add capability without ballooning into something impractical for an actual job site. The tray bed underscores the utility angle, suggesting cargo and equipment hauling were the point of the extra axle, not curb appeal.

With reporting from The Drive.
