Monitor Mount Adapter - Ford Ranger

This adapter was designed for my 2018 Ford Ranger to mount the monitor of an Auto-Vox rear view camera or any other thing featuring a 2cm diameter ball joint in a clean, compact, and stable way.

It should also fit 2016–2022 Ford Ranger models, but I have only tested it on my 2018 model.
 

For the vehicle-side clamp, I use the “2016+ Ford Ranger Ball Joint Phone Mount Mark 2” model by Alexander Brown on Printables. This model adds a custom adapter between that clamp and the ball joint of the Auto-Vox monitor mount.

The Ford Ranger clamp from the Printables model is included in the photos and in the 3D model for reference and demonstration purposes.

Features

This adapter allows a compact and sturdy installation of the rear view camera monitor in the Ford Ranger.

The monitor remains adjustable through the original ball joint, while the vehicle-specific clamp provides a clean mounting solution without drilling or permanent modifications to the vehicle.

Printing Notes

The model was printed in PETG-CF.

This material is well suited for use inside a vehicle, as it offers better heat resistance and stiffness compared to standard PLA.

Recommended print settings:

• Material: PETG-CF or similiar (PETG, PCTG, PCTG-CF, ASA, ASA-CF, ASA-GF, …)
• Supports: required
• Support interface: PLA
• Single-nozzle printers can also print this model using a filament change for the support interface

The uploaded print profile is prepared for a Bambu Lab X2D and uses PLA as the support interface material. This makes support removal much cleaner and easier after printing.

Important Note

Before driving, make sure the mount is securely installed and that the monitor does not obstruct your view, controls, airbags, or any safety-related components. Use at your own risk.
