What features should I look for in a Ford Ranger for off-roading?

I'm planning on buying a Ford Ranger for off-roading adventures. What specific features should I look for in a Ford Ranger to ensure the best off-roading performance and reliability? Any tips or advice?

As a long-time Ford Ranger off-roading enthusiast, I would suggest looking for features like a high ground clearance, 4-wheel drive system, and a locking rear differential for better traction and control on rough terrain. Also, consider upgrading to all-terrain tires and adding skid plates for protection. Don't forget to properly maintain your Ranger for optimal performance!

In my experience, a Ford Ranger with a turbocharged engine and advanced off-road driving modes, such as 'Rock Crawl' and 'Sand', has been a game-changer for my off-roading adventures. Additionally, don't skimp on suspension upgrades for a more smooth and stable ride on bumpy trails.
