1.13.1 Recommended Body Dimensions
WARNINGS:
Do not modify the wheelbase or add any
type of frame extension to vehicles fitted
with Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
Ensure that any mass added to the
vehicle does not compromise vehicle
stability.
NOTE: Extreme rear overhang may encourage
unacceptable loading conditions, which could
unload the front axle, producing unacceptable
handling and braking characteristics. Ensure that
the center of gravity of the body and payload does
not fall outside of the recommended zone.
NOTE: An excessively high center of gravity could
reduce vehicle stability. Ensure that the center of
gravity of the body and payload does not fall
outside of the recommended zone.
Refer to: 1.15 (page 31).
FORD RANGER 2020
NOTE: When extending the length of the frame
rearward of the rear axle, it is recommended that
the overall rear overhang is limited to a maximum
of 50% of the wheelbase of the vehicle.
NOTE: If a towball is fitted to the vehicle, the body
dimensions must incorporate a towball clearance
zone in accordance with local requirements. For
additional information, refer to ECE Regulation
55.
If a conversion requires more than 50% overhang,
please contact your local National Sales Company
representative, or Local Ford Dealer.
Load carrying structures should not be mounted
onto an existing load tray or load box. Body
attachment points are provided on the frame.
Refer to: 5.1 Body (page 71).
