Well I was just curious to see what the Premium Sound system for a 1998 Ranger consisted of so I checked with my Ford dealer a VIN of a 1998 Ford Ranger Splash I was thinking of purchasing that came with Premium Sound to see if they showed the amplifier part# with it when looked up by VIN. They said it didn't come with an amplifier but they gave me the original part# of the radio it was a F87F-18C868-DA. It was an AM/FM/CD/Cassette RDS radio. It's a regular cab Splash too. So I guess the 80-Watt Premium Radio option in the 1998 Ford Ranger brochure was just the top of the line radio for that year from Ford. I guess it consisted of just the radio and some, what were suppose to be quality speakers for the time. So there's nothing really special about the 98 Ranger Premium Sound system. Even the speakers now show no different part#'s for Premium vs. w/o Premium sound. I'm not sure if they shared different numbers back in 98. So I guess when this aftermarket Sony cd player starts giving me too many problems I can just put back in this Premium Sound Radio I have. Maybe some different speakers might improve the sound. It doesn't sound bad right now but the speakers are 20 years old and have 380,000 miles on them, sometimes they fade in and out too.
