Tamiya Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 58759 Pre-order Due May 2026

Here comes the re-issue of the Ford F-150 Ranger XLT which was originally released as a 1/10 R/C kit in 1981. The 1980 Ford F-150 Ranger was released as the first model of the seventh-generation model of the F series, and it featured angular design and robust ladder frame. The car prioritized both lightweight and durable design, and had a powerful image typical of American pickup trucks. The Ranger grade is positioned as the advanced specification and had extensive outside features such as 2-tone painting and chrome trim. As the option, Free Wheelin' Package added unique characteristics such as stripes and special colour scheme. Inheriting the existing body, the kit features newly-moulded side mirrors, wipers, headlights (separately sold LED lights can be attached.), front section including front grille and bumper guards, plus front "stealth" body mount (eliminated front body mount holes) for a more realistic look.
