Fender Flares — Ford Ranger T9 2022+ (no side PDC)

Fender flares are the first thing you reach for when wider wheels go under a Ranger. They cover the tyre where it sits proud of the arch, keep stones off the paint and change the truck's proportions.

The supplier assigns this set to the Ford Ranger T9 in Wildtrak, Limited and XLT trims. In the photo the flares cover all four arches and carry a row of decorative bolts around the rim.

Key features

• Decorative bolts around the full rim — visible on all four arches in the photo
• A seal along the flare edge protects the paint from chafing
• Flexible plastic, black, can be painted to body colour
• Fits into factory holes, using the factory fasteners or the screws supplied

• Application: Ford Ranger T9 2022+ — Wildtrak, Limited, XLT
• Material: tough, flexible plastic (the supplier does not specify the type)
• Colour: black, paintable

Fitting and notes

Remove the front and rear mud flaps before fitting — the supplier says so plainly, because the whole set lines up more easily without them. The flares go onto the standard arch mouldings, painted or not, into factory holes. Work on a warm vehicle and a clean surface, and check the seal sits flush along the whole arch before final tightening.

This is the version without cut-outs for side parking sensors. If your Ranger has PDC in the bumper sides you need the cut-out version — in this catalogue that is TXT9 6238 or TXT9 6239.

Frequently asked questions

How much do they widen the vehicle?

The supplier gives no figure for this reference. Ask the seller before buying, as it decides whether wider tyres stay legal.

Do they fit the Ranger Raptor?

The supplier lists only Wildtrak, Limited and XLT. The Raptor has its own wider arches and takes a separate set.

Can they be painted?

Yes, the supplier states they can be painted to your own choice of colour.
