Access to the cargo bay is by means of a tailgate, which can be dropped down until it is horizontal or lowered almost completely if you release the metal stays on each side. Our Ranger was equipped with a plastic bed-liner as part of an extra-cost optional package, which includes four tie-down points and a power socket.
The load area comes with exterior rope hooks – three down each side – plus a ladder rack with two hinged stops on top to prevent items resting against it sliding off to one side or the other. A work light is fitted should Ranger’s crew be busy early in the morning or late at night.
