Introducing the BOSS HTX Undercarriage for 2024‑on Ford Ranger
BOSS has just released a purpose-designed undercarriage—the LTA28780 RT3/HTX system—tailored for the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger. It’s engineered to perfectly fit your Ranger and support the powerful HTX Straight Blade in both 7′ and 7′6″ widths.
Key Benefits of the New Undercarriage
- Perfect fit, no guesswork: Designed specifically for the 2024+ Ranger, ensuring a seamless installation—no adapters or fabrication tweaks needed.
- RT3/HTX-standard quick‐attach: Utilizes BOSS’s RT3/HTX mounting platform to lock the HTX blade securely while allowing rapid setup or removal.
- Rugged construction: Built from high-strength steel components, this undercarriage stands up to heavy-duty usage typical of Ranger-level snow clearing.

The HTX Straight Blade: Power in a Compact Package
The HTX line brings big-plow power to lighter vehicles—and the 2024+ Ranger is no exception. Here’s what makes it perfect for residential and light commercial use:
- Available in 7′ or 7′6″—choose from steel, stainless, or high-wear poly moldboards.
- Reinforced steel diagonal cross-bracing and formed bottom channel for rigidity and strength.
- Full-moldboard trip mechanism—the blade tips forward on impact, preserving frame and truck integrity.
- SmartLock hydraulic cylinders hold the blade firmly during back-drag maneuvers.
- LED SL3 lights with ice-shield technology, delivering reliable illumination in freezing conditions.
- SmartTouch2 enclosed hydraulic control—easy, ergonomic plow operation at your fingertips.
- Optional D‑Force hydraulic accumulator system offers consistent down-pressure—ideal for clean back‑dragging and better scraping.
Perfect Match: Ranger + HTX Blade
Pairing the new Ranger undercarriage with the HTX blade brings homeowners and landscapers alike the best of both worlds:
- Seamless fit‑and‑play mounting with no major modifications
- Multiple material options—steel, stainless steel, or poly moldboards
- User-friendly SmartTouch2 controls and SmartLock stability
- Full-trip moldboard prevents damage during plowing
- LED visibility and blade-mounted downforce options elevate performance
