popular classic not seen since 1981Ford trucks are among the most popular vehicles in the United States!
Among those are the F-150 series. Tamiya now brings back one of its classic Ford truck releases in the form of the iconic FORD F-150 Ranger XLT with various updates.
About the FORD F-150 XLT
The Ford F-150 Ranger XLT was originally released as a 1/10 R/C kit in 1981. The 1980 Ford F-150 Ranger was released as the first model of the seventh-generation model of the F series, and it featured angular design cues and robust ladder frame.
The truck prioritized both lightweight and durable design. The Ranger grade is positioned as the advanced specification and has extensive outside features such as 2-tone paint and chrome trim.As an option to the truck, Free Wheeling Package added unique characteristics such as stripes and special color scheme.
The re-release inherits the existing body of the original, but features newly molded side mirrors, wipers, headlights (separately sold LED lights can be attached.), front section including front grille and bumper guards, plus front stealth body mount (eliminated front body mount holes) for a more realistic look.
The R/C model assembly kit recreates the 7th generation model of the Ford F-150, a car with classic linear body design and a tough ladder frame that still retains popularity in the modern day as a classic truck. The model is a re-issue of a Tamiya classic, and features a realistic body molded in ABS plastic, with separately molded parts for bumpers (these are metal plated), side mirrors and wipers. Headlights can be fitted with separately sold LEDs, and at the front of the model a body hook mount eliminates exterior body mounts for a more realistic look. Also included is a driver figure and stickers to decorate the body with racer-style markings.
Sturdy 2WD Chassis
The chassis’ main frame is composed of 2mm thick FRP plate and duralumin reinforcing plate to ensure a balance of flex and rigidity for stable performance. Its 4-wheel independent suspension uses oil dampers and die-cast suspension arms in front double trailing arm and rear swing axle setups. The R/C equipment and battery pack are protected from dust and dirt picked up off-road by a transparent plastic box, while the full ball bearings in the drivetrain give efficient drive. 3-piece center-lock wheels hold their tires securely and are paired with semi-pneumatic block pattern tires for dynamic performance off-road.
