Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Bucket seat Rangers use a different belt.
Regular cab Rangers from 1998-2000 with a bench seat use this end release outboard belt, sold for either the driver or passenger side.
Ford redesigned the Ranger for 1998 with a longer cab, a new front suspension and a revised front end, and the regular cab bench in these trucks seats two adults plus a small middle passenger.
Seatbelt Planet includes mounting hardware with this belt, which helps owners whose original bolts are rusted or missing.
A single belt makes sense when only one outer position is worn, while the pair kit is the better choice when both sides look tired.
Bucket seat Rangers of these years use a different belt, so check your seat style before ordering.
The 1998 redesign gave the Ranger a stronger frame, rack-and-pinion steering on two-wheel drive trucks, and a cab that was stretched to give a little more space behind the seat.
Bench seat regular cabs were common on XL and base models, and many were bought as commuter trucks or first vehicles for young drivers.
An end release buckle is the style Seatbelt Planet specifies for this part, and it suits the low profile of a compact truck bench.
Because hardware is included, owners with seized or rusty bolts can replace them at the same time.
This is a single belt, so order the pair if both outer positions are worn.
Look at the driver side first, since that is usually where the most wear shows up in a daily commuter.
Ford's compact pickup was the best-selling small truck in America through much of this period, so plenty of bench seat regular cabs are still on the road and still being used to commute, deliver and haul.
Seatbelt Planet's end release style puts the release button at the very end of the buckle housing, a design many Ranger owners find intuitive to use with gloves on.
Order this one when a single side of your Ranger bench is worn.
