Due to the chip shortage and COVID supply issues, the Urban Warrior Power Ranger will not come with a transfer case, front propshaft or differential although the cabin 4WD switchgear and dash lights will remain intact. The lack of a front diff also negates the need for a diff drop, whereas the vibration increase caused by the angle of the unis on the rear propshaft just adds to the drive experience.
The Ranger Urban Warrior will be offered with a voucher for six litres of Red Bull or protein shakes, a mention of the owner’s Insta on Ford’s socials, and a year’s worth of gym membership for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but not Tuesday or Thursdays as those are leg days.
This post is not based on fact as it is April 1st. But if you do want facts, watch below to find out why the Next Gen Ranger is probably a better towcar than the PX3.
