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

The fx4 level 2 has a complete black interior from the headliner to the carpet.

Yes my stepson justpicked up a 03 FX4 level 2 truck to flip. It has all black interior!! cloth seats. I know there was also a leather seat option.
I think it was only 02-03 years??
Super nice Ranger!! I'm jealous it will clean up nicely

Newer rangers had a leather seat option. Rare to find and expensive. Your best bet is explorer leather seats power and heated

Yep, seats a secondary but I want the black dash and door panels. I'd like to find a set of black sport trac seats like yours.

Ford Escape has some nice leather seats. I scored some heated and cooled black leather from a 2008 Lincoln Navigator for my 97 F350
If you can do a little fabrication then the sky is the limit

Or you can order Katskin leather covers for your seats?

I asked you when we did the ROTM on interiors, I noticed your seats were different than those who did the explorer seat swap. I asked you in a PM that I dont have anymore. I thought you said they were from an 04 sport trac. So what are the seats that are currently in the black 06 xlt. They were black with grey inset panel. Never asked if they were covered. I assumed they were factory leathers. I really like those.

But where did you get these out of? Are these seat covers or factory leather?

Not the most common package but they do exist

They came from an 04 expo sport trac. They are a factory option in the sport trac and expo sport. They were available in 2 tone gray and 2 tone tan. The gen 1 sport trac adrenaline had these standard with adrenaline embroidered in the head rests.

Awesome. Thank you. I like these more than the standard expo leathers. They have different insert panels. That's what caught my eye after seeing them next to other rangers that had expo seat swaps in the ROTM. 

410custom, we are gonna need to find a wrecked FX4 with a good black interior for my 07 sport extended cab.😊😊😊

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.
