1970s Ford Ranchero Brochure Page - Tires, Wheels & Standard Features List
Ford Ranchero dealer literature page listing available tubeless tire and wheel sizes with load capacity, plus standard interior and exterior features for the Ranchero, GT and Squire.
This is a page from a Ford dealer/product literature brochure covering the Ford Ranchero. The top of the page presents an 'Available Tires and Wheels' table (front, single rear and spare, tubeless tires) listing six bias-cord fiberglass-belted tire options—E78-14, F78-14, E70-14 and F70-14 sizes on 5JK and 7JJ rims—with load capacities of 1400 or 1500 lbs per tire at 32 psi. Footnotes explain spare wheel/tire inclusions with the styled wheel option. Below an illustration of the Ranchero and its FORD-lettered tailgate, the page details 'Ranchero Standard Features.' Interior standard equipment includes a locking steering column, padded instrument panel, fresh-air heater and defroster, day/night mirror, full-width seat with split seat back, vinyl seat trim color-keyed in Black, Blue or Gold, spare tire compartment behind the passenger seat, tool stowage behind the driver seat, seat belts with outboard retractors, and shoulder harnesses. Exterior standard features include an egg-crate grille with horizontal center bar and crest, bright F-O-R-D front and tailgate letters, chrome bumpers, hidden two-speed electric wipers, side marker lights, integral stop/turn/backup taillights, and bright 'Ranchero' front fender script with chevrons. Readers can learn standard tire fitments, pressures, and complete base-model equipment for the Ranchero, 500, GT and Squire trims.
