Arrival of the new Raptor Ranger stunning off-road performance and control of the desert and mountains
Ford has announced the arrival of the next generation Of Ford Ranger Raptor. The new generation is designed to control the topography of the desert, mountains and between them, to improve off-road performance with its design for truck enthusiasts.
Ford Performance Ranger Raptor, the most prominent performance model of the next generation Ranger series, has been developed. With smarter technologies that control next-generation devices, Ranger Raptor blends raw power with mechanical accuracy with cutting-edge reinger launch technologies.
More power, more fun.
The most important news that will delight fans of strong performance is the EcoBoost V6 engine with a 3.0-liter dual turbo that produces power of up to 292 kW (392 hp), 5,650 rpm and 583 Nm torque at 3,500 rpm tuned by Ford Performance.
The 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine for the next generation Ranger Raptor will be available in specific markets from 2023, and more details for each region will be announced as launch date approaches.
Bah's Ranger Raptor deceleration system maintains the turbocharger's rotation for up to three seconds after the driver lifts his foot off the throttle, allowing acceleration to resume quickly at turns or between gears when the driver returns to the throttle.
The 3.0-liter engine offers a different dynamic method in a Ranger Raptor that will satisfy even the most powerful performance enthusiasts. The acceleration and superior performance in the new transmission range will make you smile throughout your driving period.
The engine was paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and each gear was programmed with a special booster file. The new Raptor engine provides smooth acceleration on gravel, clay and sand. Thanks to an electronically controlled active exhaust system that amplifies engine sound in four selectable driving modes (quiet, normal, sporty and worn), the acoustic character of the Raptor ranges from moderate to wild.
The driver can choose the sound of his preferred engine by pressing a button on the steering wheel or by selecting the driving mode that uses one of the following settings :
- Quiet - designed to prioritize quietness and then performance and sound. It is ideal for maintaining a good relationship with neighbors early in the morning.
- Normal - For daily use, this setting offers a single exhaust that gives the truck a strong presence without too loud sound and is suitable for use on the street. This option is automatically applied in normal mode, slippery ground, mud, cracks and rock climbing mode.
- Athlete - Provides a louder and stronger sound when you want a little enthusiasm.
- Baha - This is the most brutal option in the exhaust settings in terms of sound and tone. It is a direct system dedicated to off-road use only.
Reinforcements dedicated to coping with extreme conditions
Ranger Raptor is first equipped with a state-of-the-art, durable 4x4 system with a new, all-new electronically controlled on-demand transport box, as well as differential front and rear locks, a feature that off-road enthusiasts will appreciate.
Up to seven driving styles to choose from the next generation of Ranger Raptor help deal with various challenges from smooth roads to mud, bumps, etc., including Baja's off-road driving mode at high speed. Electronic systems are modified in Baja 2 mode for optimal performance.
Each selectable engine mode adjusts a number of engine and transmission elements, adjusts sensitivity, calibrates ABS, controls, exhaust valve activation, steering, throttle response, even the instrument set and central touchscreen. Depending on the situation, the digital screen color scheme changes to suit the mode chosen.
Regular roads
- Normal - designed to provide comfort, fuel efficiency and easy driving.
- Sportsman - more responsive to enthusiastic driving on the roads.
- Slippery ground - for more confident off-road driving, slippery or uneven surfaces.
Off-road
- Rock crawling - provides the perfect traction and propulsion power on soft surfaces.
- Sand - for use in soft sand conditions and deep snow, leading to improved power delivery and transmission shifts.
- Mud/cracks - to maximize off-road stability while starting and maintain vehicle momentum
- Baha - Set for high-speed off-road performance while adjusting all systems for maximum rush.
The next generation Ranger Raptor also comes with Trail Control technology that resembles an off-road speed stabilizer. This technology enables the driver to simply choose a certain speed (less than 32 km/h) and then manages the acceleration and brake while the driver focuses on steering through harsh terrain.
Powerful design with great energy
With Ranger Raptor's improved capabilities, it brings a whole new design that takes ranger's next generation design to the next level. The design focuses on the truck's display ratio, wheel arches, Ford DNA C headlights, the prominent F-O-R-D letters on the grid and the detached bumper.
Matrix LED headlights with daytime LED lights will enhance lighting performance and take it to new levels, featuring dynamic curved lights, high glare-free lighting and automatic dynamic resolution to provide safer lighting for Ranger Raptor drivers and cars coming towards them.
The shelves accommodate options for two powerful 17-inch wheel designs, one with beadlock 4, both wrapped in BFGoodrich® all-terrain KO2® tires. Functional openings, air features and powerful cast aluminum side tinges with a new design help enhance the look and functionality of the truck. The LED taillights at the back provide a distinctive front link, and the precise grey rear bumper features a built-in scoreboard and a high tow hand to help adjust the truck's departure angle.
Interior
The interior design continues to deliver superior off-road performance, while the exterior shines with energy-enhanced natural touches. The cabin features all-new, jet-inspired front and rear sports seats and is more comfortable and supportive during high-speed turns.
Orange touches to the instrument panel and seats are enhanced by the ambient lighting of Raptor, which floods the interior with a magnificent amber glow. The design complements the luxurious leather-coated sports steering wheel, thumbs, marks in the middle and magnesium paddle switches.
The Ranger Raptor features a fully digital cabin, featuring a 12.4-inch high-resolution digital screen and a 12-inch central touchscreen featuring ford's next generation connectivity system and SYNC® 4Av entertainment system, which provides wireless connectivity to Smartphones powered by Apple and Android operating systems. Bang & Olufsenvi®sound system will provide great background music for your unique adventures.
