Rock Sliders, Ford Ranger Next Gen 2022 to current

Offroad Animal Rock Sliders – Ford Ranger Next Gen (2022–Present)

The factory side steps on the Next Gen Ranger are handy for getting in and out, but they are not there to take serious hits from rocks, ruts or uneven ground.

These Offroad Animal Rock Sliders replace that vulnerable side-step area with a heavy-duty chassis-mounted steel slider, giving the sill and lower side of the Ranger proper protection while still working as a useful step.

Vehicle Fitment

Suits Ford Ranger Next Gen models from 2022 to Present.

The sliders are side-curtain airbag compatible.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The sliders use a one-piece steel construction made from 3mm and 5mm sections.

They bolt directly to the chassis, giving the protection system a much stronger mounting point than the factory side-step setup.

30-Degree Upswept Profile

The sliders angle upward by 30 degrees, keeping the outer edge tucked higher against the vehicle.

That improves clearance when travelling through:

• Rocky tracks
• Deep ruts
• Uneven terrain
• Tight off-road sections where the sill can otherwise contact the ground

Steel Tread Step

A steel tread section runs along the slider, so you still have a practical step for:

• Getting in and out of the Ranger
• Reaching a roof rack
• Loading or securing gear

The tread uses an extruded pattern for grip rather than a basic diamond-plate surface.

Works with Offroad Animal Side Protection

The sliders can be paired with the matching:

• Offroad Animal Scrub Rails
• Offroad Animal Toro Bull Bar

This allows the side-protection system to continue forward toward the front bar for a more complete setup.
