I read somewhere that only the FX4 had black interior option. I have a sport that is dark grey with black accents. I was wondering if the FX4's have all black dash, and door panels. I've looked for images online but when I do find an FX4 interior pic it's too dark to tell if it's dark grey or black. If anyone has a black dash and door panels that were not dyed please share pics. Thank you
Be careful to differentiate between FX4 Level II and FX4 Off Road. Which one had the predominantly black interior varies year to year.

2002 FX4 Off Road:
Most had an all black interior with black radio bezel.  The black cloth seats had greyish "cracked" pattern inserts. There were a few 2002 FX4's with a tan interior instead. No black leather seat option in 2002.

2003 FX4 Level II  (NOT  FX4 Off Road):
Black interior with silver radio bezel. Seats were black with red or blue inserts depending on exterior color choice. No black leather seat option in 2003.

2004~2005 FX4 Level II  (NOT  FX4 Off Road): 
Black interior with silver radio bezel. Seats were black with red or blue inserts depending on exterior color choice. Black leather seats optional on Level II only.

2006~2007 FX4 Level II  (NOT  FX4 Off Road):
Black interior with silver radio bezel. Seats were black with red or blue inserts depending on exterior color choice. Black leather seats optional on STX and Level II only. 

2008~2009  FX4 Off Road (separate Level  II model eliminated)
Black interior with silver radio bezel. Seats were black with red or blue inserts depending on exterior color choice. Black leather seats optional on FX4 Off Road only.

2010~2011 All FX4's gone.
No all black interiors. Dark Flint (grey) only for these years.


Things to watch out for:


  • Owners of other Ranger models sometimes do a "sticker upgrade" to FX4 Off Road or Level II. Used car dealers too.
  • 06~07 Level II's have "FX4 Off Road" on the bedsides AND "Level II" on the doors. The 06~07 FX4 Off Road model does not have the door stickers.
  • The somewhat rare 06~07 Ranger STX's share much, if not all, of the Level II interior parts.
  • Many 04+ Rangers have what's called a Dark Flint interior. It is grey, NOT black.
