The 2019 Ford Ranger returned to the North American market with Spicer (Dana) AdvanTek axles. Gone is the Ford 8.8-Inch rear axle that we knew for so long. Spicer® AdvanTEK® high-efficiency axles deliver more miles per gallon, enhanced vehicle performance, and maximum durability for the complete spectrum of light vehicles. Even with its compact design, these axles provide greater power density than similar offerings while reducing driveline weight with lighter, higher strength materials and advanced gearing. Spicer AdvanTEK axles make it possible for vehicles to handle today’s high-torque engines.
