Ford Ranger Wheel Hub Replacement Parts

The Ford Ranger T6 generation ran from 2011 to 2022, but received a significant facelift in 2015, and it is worth knowing that boundary before you buy. Within the pre-facelift years (2011–2015) hubs are broadly compatible, and post-facelift (2015–2022) hubs also share a strong family, but whether a pre-facelift hub crosses cleanly to a post-facelift vehicle is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as brake and bearing specifications can differ across that refresh. Never assume fitment without that check.

Both years sit within the post-facelift T6 window (2015–2022), so the chances of compatibility are reasonable. However, engine size can influence hub and brake carrier spec on the Ranger — the 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo models can carry different brake assemblies compared to the single-turbo 2.0 or older 2.2 units — so confirm the engine size on both donor and recipient vehicles with the breaker. Always verify against your registration plate before purchasing.

Yes, engine size is a genuine factor on the T6 Ranger (2011–2022) because larger or higher-output engines are often paired with uprated brakes, and the hub must match the brake assembly fitted to your vehicle. A 3.2 TDCi or the later 2.0 Bi-Turbo can carry different front hub and bearing arrangements than a 2.2 TDCi variant, so quoting your engine size to the breaker is essential. Do not rely on year alone when sourcing this part.

Yes, front wheel hubs on the Ford Ranger are handed — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver's side) are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and double-check which side yours is before you order. Getting this wrong is one of the most common and easily avoided fitment mistakes.

Trim level on the Ford Ranger — whether XL, XLT, Limited, or Wildtrak — does not in itself determine which wheel hub is fitted; what matters is the generation and engine size, not the badge. A Wildtrak hub and an XL hub from the same year and engine are very likely to be the same part, so do not pay a premium or reject a part purely on trim grounds. That said, always confirm the engine size matches and ask the breaker to verify against your registration to be certain.

The T6 generation does share a common platform across 2011–2022, but the 2015 facelift and changes to payload and drivetrain options over that period mean rear hub specs are not guaranteed to be identical throughout the entire run. Rear hub compatibility is more likely within the pre-facelift (2011–2015) or post-facelift (2015–2022) windows separately, but crossing that boundary should be confirmed with the breaker using both vehicles' registrations. Never assume a part fits based on generation name alone.
