What’s new for Ford Ranger in 2021? In 2021 Ford Ranger basically remains mostly unchanged, there is more color choices, plus special options/off road packages. If you’re only going for out right value and performance. Then the base model XL 4 × 4 Super Cab is for you. It gives you the power plus good ride quality of the other Ford Ranger models. Also because of its smaller Super Cab, and lower level of standard equipment. It does not weigh as much as the XLT 4 × 4 option models and Lariat trims models. This will result in more get up and go and possibly little better road manners.

As with the previous year, when you lift the hood up on the 2021 Ford Ranger, you’ll be getting the same turbocharged 2.3 liter four cylinder engine that generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb ft of torque, which is enough power to make the Ford Ranger impressive on road and off road. It get’s even more impressive with the lighter Ranger XL model Super Cab, which may surprise you with its power and it’s agility. All Ford Ranger get a 10 speed automatic that provides quick smooth shifts. Rear wheel drive Rangers will give you 8.4 inches of ground clearance, and the four wheel drive Rangers will give you 8.9 inches of ground clearance.

2010 – 2012 Mustang Fog Light Removal Increases Air Flow

Posted on by

Removing your 2010 – 2012 Mustang GT front grille fog lights will increase air flow for better performance and cooling. There are three good reasons to remove the front grille fog lights, the first being many of us find the fog lights make the Mustang GT look well, kind of ugly. The second reason to remove them is, you will now have much better air flow to the radiator and cold air intake, which adds up to better over-all performance. The third reason is by eliminating the fog lights, you will drop a few pounds of weight from the front end which is a good thing. Removing the front grille is fairly easy and should only take you about 20-30 min. There are a few tips we can give you to make the job go smoother and possibly save you some time and a few headaches.

Steps to remove your 2010 – 2012 Mustang GT front grille

Do this on a warm day as the grille is plastic and is less likely to break or crack when warm.

  • Open your hood and remove the top of radiator plastic cover.
  • Now disconnect each fog light so when removing the grille you do not break the connections.
  • Now to remove the grille, start by pulling firmly on each side one at a time pulling the retaining clips out (2 clips on each side), then just pull the bottom of grille so the retaining clips on bottom portion of grille pop out and grille is now removed. Note: when pulling the side of grille clips out, pull straight out or you may beak a clip, spraying the retaining clips with some silicone will make pulling out the side clips easier.

Now with the grille removed you can easily remove both fog lights and brackets. You could just re-install front grille as is or get some steel mesh screen to cover the fog light holes, which is what we recommend to do, as this will keep out debris while still allowing easy air flow through. We used mesh screen with ¼ inch square holes on our 2012 Mustang GT, some modified grilles being sold use mesh screen with ½ inch holes which is fine but does allow debris to get passed easier. After we cut and molded the mesh screen we painted the screen black, we then attached our screen to the inside area behind the fog light openings with some JB weld so holds on very secure.

To re-install your front grille, just line up the retaining clips on the bottom first then the sides and then firmly push all into place.

If you were to purchase a Mustang Boss 302 grille from Ford to replace your stock Mustang GT grille as a modification for improved air flow for cooling, improved air flow to your cold air system and small drop in weight, you would be looking at a cost of around $600 – $900 or so depending where you live. So by just modifying your stock 2010 – 2012 Mustang GT front grille you will get all the benefits without the high cost.
