Ford recently made the announcement that the Splash appearance package is back in 2022. Ford also broke this Splash news into two parts. One is the Splash Package itself, but Ford is also going to be offering “Splash Limited Edition” Rangers throughout the year that are different from the “Splash Package,” which will be available all year.

Ford Ranger fans, the Splash™ is back. The much-loved special appearance package from the 1990s is making a comeback, reimagined for today and starting with the 2022 Ford Ranger Splash™ Package. “Ranger customers love to personalize their trucks, and with Splash, we’re giving them something exclusive,” said Chad Callandar, Ford Ranger marketing manager. The Splash™ Package comes with body-side orange and black graphics and special 18-inch 12-spoke wheels finished in matte black. Ranger Splash includes orange grille nostrils, plus gloss black accents on the grille, bumpers, rearview mirror caps, wheel lip mouldings and fender vents. The interior features exclusive seats with orange contrast stitching and unique carbon grain with tuxedo stripes – leather-trimmed in Lariat. Orange contrast stitching also appears on the steering wheel, gear shifter and parking brake boot. Lariat models get orange accent stitching on front and rear armrests and on the dash top. Ranger Splash™ Package will be available for SuperCrew models optioned in XLT and Lariat trim series and can be combined with the FX4 Package to add more off-road capability to its distinctive looks.
Ford also says it will be releasing new “Splash Limited Edition” models “every few months” with one-time limited-run paint options. There will only be “a few hundred” of each specific Splash Limited Edition, so they’ll be relatively rare as far as Rangers go. Ford says the first Splash Limited Edition will be the Snow Edition. Potentially a white paint theme, I suspect.
But what did the Splash package look like in the 1990’s? Here is a photo to refresh your memory. The Ranger Splash in the 90’s featured a sport truck look with flare-side cargo box treatment and splash graphics.
