- Description:
Genuine Ford OEM gas-charged hood prop for the 24-25 Ford Ranger. The hood stay is a sealed pneumatic gas strut that holds the engine compartment hood open during service operations such as oil changes, coolant top-offs, battery service, and engine inspection. This factory replacement strut is engineered to match original equipment opening force, full extension travel, and damping rate so the hood opens smoothly and remains stable in the fully open position without drift or sag. The N1WZ prefix designates this as a 24-25 Ford Ranger T6.2 platform body component. Worn or failed gas struts often lose nitrogen pressure over time, causing the hood to feel heavy, drift down during service, or fail to stay open against gravity, creating a safety hazard for anyone working under the hood. Installation is straightforward: lift the hood to its fully open position, release the lower pivot ball stud clip, release the upper pivot ball stud clip, and install the replacement strut in reverse order with the cylinder body oriented per the factory diagram. Always replace both hood struts as a pair if both are original-age, since one new strut can overpower a worn strut and stress the hood hinge. Backed by Ford Motor Company quality control and the standard Ford OEM parts limited warranty.
