Arab GT Ford Ranger Raptor 

In the early 1980s, Ford unveiled a truck that was clearly a serious competitor to non-American tall trucks. In the middle of the road, Ford made an important upgrade to its product in cooperation with Mazda’s Japanese engineers. Until now, we are reaching the third generation of this car to provide a unique experience for the lovers of this car by offering the Ford Ranger platform with the Raptor package, which is also a guest of other Ford off-road products.

In fact, the fifth generation Ranger was introduced in 2021, and in 2022, we got to know the Raptor package. Now we can get a pleasant experience from a track by merging both versions at the same time.

Arab GT Ford Ranger Raptor ; New Generation

The current generation of Ranger is known as the vanguard of this car because it is the most technically advanced version of this product.
Although the third generation of this car has experienced a reduction in terms of size and dimensions, and in terms of appearance, it can be compared to other products, but we will be completely surprised when we check the performance, it has a monster under its cover for driving rough roads.

Exterior of Ford Ranger Raptor

With the first look from the front angle, we come across a large grid window that still includes the Ford name in large font to remind us of the old tradition of Ford cars.
From the very first step, we can understand that the design language of the Ranger Raptor is derived from the same Ford design style in the previous decades.
In addition to the Raptor package, the Ranger can be ordered with three other trims, namely XLT, XL and Lariat, of course, the grille is decorated in gray in XLT and Lariat. The white tray in front of the car is stretched to the end of the car.

The work of this big tray is to protect the cart and the engine of the car, especially during rock climbing and passing rough roads.

LED lights in the style of old Fords are one of the attractions of Ford Ranger Raptor.

In addition to front LED lights, LED fog lights increase the level of security on stormy roads.

With the help of a set of screws, the large 33-inch Goodrich all-terrain wheels are fixed with 17-inch disks to reduce the possibility of tire tearing in off-road riding and difficult roads. Although these rims can be replaced with a customized version, although more than 1500 $ must be paid for it.

interior view by Arab GT Ford Ranger Raptor

Ford announced that the interior design of Ranger Raptor was taken from the cabin of fighter jets. The location of the differential locks and gear shift pedals and orange trims is proof that the special design will increase the sense of excitement in addition to the upcoming events on unusual roads.
B&O audio system with ten speakers and a 12.4-inch Speedmeter screen and a 12-inch vertical center display that displays all the information and events inside the car has been considered for the interior of the car.

9 airbags along with the lane departure warning system, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign detection, front and rear parking sensors, and all-round vision camera and cruise control are part of the Ranger Raptor’s safety and driving features.

Trail Control System

Ford uses trail control technology for its off-road vehicles to create a different off-road riding experience. In fact, this technology affects the better performance of the car’s steering wheel by controlling the throttle and brakes. In this case, on downhill roads, you only focus on steering and the central system is responsible for giving gas to the car.

Suspension in Ford Ranger Raptor

The strength of Ranger Raptor is reinforced axles and columns. Let’s start by checking the reinforced chassis.
Ford considers that you are going to cross the most difficult crossings and side roads that you should experience severe shocks and impacts. All these shocks should be taken by Fox’s 2.5 inch shock absorbers. The aluminum suspension system consists of three sections of the upper and lower control arms and additional shock absorbers (Fox) compared to the previous version, so that it takes the blows to the room like a powerful shield much better than the normal version.

The chassis of the room is reinforced with stronger columns to show great resistance against strong impacts so that there is no chance for the remaining oscillations from the suspension system to harm the passengers.

Differential and driving modes

To buy regular versions of the Ranger, you will be given the right to choose to buy the rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel drive (AWD) version. But Ford offers the standard four-wheel drive version for the Raptor. Meanwhile, for the off-road driving experience, it is equipped with a two-speed electronic auxiliary Gearbox and a front and rear differential lock.

For a professional driving experience, it contains 7 different driving modes (Normal Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, Baja) which are displayed with an attractive animation on the odometer screen, which is used in the 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor model. We got to know about this case. To check it, you can refer to the following page.

Engine

Ford produces different versions in order to comply with the emission laws of fossil fuel engines in different regions of the world such as Europe. For Europe, a version with a twin turbo Ranger Raptor engine with 288 HP and 490 N.m of torque is produced.

For the version available in Australia, the power is surprisingly increased to 397 horsepower and 583 Nm.
But in the American version, Ford has decided to try a 3-liter six-cylinder engine with its most powerful engine, which produces 405 horsepower and prepares 583 Nm of torque to be transferred to the wheels by a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Arab GT Ford Ranger Raptor ; Price

Ford has considered something twice as normal for the Raptor package. In normal mode, the price of the normal version (basic version) was 28.000 $ , which is about 57.000 $ dollars for the Raptor.

Conclusion

The review of Ford Ranger Raptor showed us that Ford has taken important steps to satisfy its fans. The powerful designed chassis and suspension system is one of its positive points, but you can expect more from the engine of this Ford truck. Compared to competitors like the Cheby ZR2, Tacoma TRD PRO, and Jeep Glardiator Rubicon, you’ll have to pay a lot more to experience a real American car stripped down.
