A Thai tuner has transformed this Ranger with the fascia of a Bronco and various other aftermarket parts

Pickup trucks are hugely popular in Thailand, so much so that the Isuzu D-Max and Toyota Hilux are consistently the nation’s two best-selling new vehicles and by a significant margin. The Ford Ranger is also a strong seller and given the country’s fascination with pickup trucks, it comes as no surprise that it has a thriving aftermarket scene that allows owners to customize their trucks and make them stand out.
One particularly prominent Thai tuner, dubbed Shana E-Sport and based out of Chon Buri near Bangkok, offers a dizzying array of upgrades for the Ford Ranger and has just finished work on a particularly striking example, grafting on a front fascia inspired by the Ford Bronco, a vehicle that isn’t sold locally.
This Ford Ranger is the latest-generation model Raptor variant but looks unlike any other that we’ve seen before. The modifications start at the front where the front grille and headlights take inspiration from the Bronco. The tuner has also equipped the pickup with a new skid plate up front.

Shana E-Sport could have easily called it a day after grafting on the new front end but it hasn’t and has fitted the Ranger with a set of aftermarket wheels finished with black spokes and red outer rims. These new wheels are wrapped in mud-terrain tires and sit over red brake calipers with Brembo branding. Given that the new wheels and tires are much wider than a regular Ranger, the truck also rocks a set of flared wheel arches to house them, further adding to the dramatic looks.
The rear end is also quite a bit different than an ordinary Ranger Raptor with new shrouds placed around the taillights and a large Bronco badge running across the tailgate. A unique bumper is also fitted.
