Used Ford Ranger Front Grille

The Ford Ranger sold in the UK runs across two main generations in the modern era: the T6 platform (2011–2022) and the next-generation T9 (2023-onwards). Within the T6 generation there are distinct facelift periods — notably a significant refresh around 2015–2016 and another around 2019 — which changed the front-end styling including the grille, so a grille from one facelift period will not necessarily match another. Always confirm the exact facelift period of your vehicle and the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Both a 2018 and a 2021 Ranger sit within the T6 generation, but the T6 received a significant facelift around 2019 that changed the front-end design including the grille and bumper. Your 2021 is post-facelift and a 2018 is pre-facelift, so these are on opposite sides of that boundary. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific grille from the donor vehicle crosses that facelift line and matches your registration before proceeding.

For fitment purposes, trim level does not affect which grille fits — the front-end panels are shared across XL, XLT, Wildtrak and other trims within the same generation and facelift period. However, you should be aware that different trims can have cosmetic differences such as chrome surrounds, gloss black finishes or differing badge treatment, so the grille from a donor vehicle may look slightly different to your original even if it physically fits. The key questions for fitment remain the generation and facelift period, not the trim badge.

Front-end panels including the grille are shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so the cab configuration does not determine which grille fits. Generation and facelift period are the factors that matter, not whether the donor vehicle is a single cab or double cab. Confirm the exact model year and facelift period with the breaker against both registrations to be sure.

The modern UK Ranger runs on the T6 platform from 2011 to 2022, with the T9 generation arriving from 2023 onwards — these are entirely different front ends and grilles will not interchange between them. Within the T6 there are also facelift phases (around 2015–2016 and again around 2019) that changed the grille design, so knowing your exact model year is important. The safest approach is to give the breaker your registration so they can confirm the correct facelift phase and source a matching part.

The Raptor has a distinct front-end design with a different grille style and surround to the standard T6 Ranger, so while they share the same underlying platform the parts are not a like-for-like swap and the fitment and appearance will differ. If you are simply replacing a damaged grille on a standard Ranger, source a grille from the same generation and facelift period rather than a Raptor donor vehicle. Confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
