2025 Ford Ranger Gets Revised Chrome Package
2025 Ford Ranger Gets Revised Chrome Package
Posted on November 22, 2024
While chrome has seen a decline in popularity among modern consumers who favor sleek black appearance packages and monochromatic designs, Ford continues to embrace shiny elements on many of its vehicles. This trend is particularly evident in the 2025 Ford Ranger, which offers an optional Chrome Accent Package. This new package replaces the outgoing Chrome Appearance Package from the 2024 model year and adds a fresh touch to the mid-size pickup's design.
The 2025 Ford Ranger's Chrome Accent Package is available for the XLT and Lariat trims and requires the integrated box side step. It features stylish 18-inch chrome-like PVD wheels, chrome wheel lip moldings, a chrome front grille center bar and surround, as well as a chrome rear bumper. While this package provides an elegant flair to the Ranger’s rugged design, it does come with a price tag of $680 USD, setting it apart from the previous package that was offered at no additional cost.
In comparison, the 2024 Chrome Appearance Package was much more extensive, including not only chrome-like 18-inch PVD wheels but also chrome door handles, exhaust tips, fog lamp bezels, and a variety of other chrome accents that enhanced the truck's aesthetic appeal. Although the previous package offered a broader range of shiny elements, the new Chrome Accent Package still manages to bring a polished look to the 2025 Ranger while catering to those who appreciate a touch of chrome in their vehicle’s design.
Beyond the changes to the Chrome Accent Package, the 2025 Ford Ranger has also made headlines by shifting away from the factory SecuriCode keyless entry keypad in favor of a dealer-installed alternative, available for $225 USD. Aside from these updates, the Ranger remains mostly unchanged from the previous year, except for the Ranger Raptor, which is introducing new exterior color options based on customer requests. Interestingly, while some trims have seen a slight price reduction, others have increased, maintaining the dynamic pricing strategy Ford is known for. With these latest enhancements, the 2025 Ford Ranger continues to evolve while offering consumers options to tailor their trucks to their personal style.
