The All-New 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor: Dominate The Dirt

- Unique Ranger Raptor 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 generates best-in-class 405 horsepower** and 430 pound-feet of torque paired with an advanced four-wheel drive system, a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials for improved off-road traction
- Race-proven in the Baja 1000, Ranger Raptor expands the Raptor family of high-performance vehicles, including F-150 Raptor®, F-150 Raptor R, and Bronco Raptor ®
- The wait is over; the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is coming to North America. Raptor is based on a proven legacy of performance and is built with uncompromised suspension design, power, purposeful technology, and rugged styling. Ranger Raptor is fully prepared to take on the most demanding terrain its extreme adventure-seeking customers can find.? With a rich history of producing tough and reliable vehicles, Ford has yet again outdone itself with the Ranger Raptor.
Confident Suspension, Purposeful Tech
The heart of every Raptor is its suspension. Ranger Raptor starts with a purpose-built suspension with lightweight aluminum upper and lower control arms and a long-travel rear suspension with a Watts linkage and trailing arms for control and confidence in off-road conditions.
Ranger Raptor’s next-generation FOX™ 2.5-inch Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks are coil-overs at the front and piggyback reservoirs at the rear to reduce heat build-up for uninterrupted performance all day long.
Ranger Raptor is built on a beefy foundation, taking Ranger’s fully boxed frame up a notch by reinforcing the front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, suspension mounting points, and other key areas so Ranger Raptor can handle more punishing off-road conditions.***
The FOX™ Live Valve Internal Bypass system changes damping performance based on Ranger Raptor’s Drive Modes. The modes include Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja, all developed to provide better on-road comfort, off-road control, capability, and ride quality at high and low speeds.
Each selectable drive mode appropriately adjusts the tuning of the engine, transmission, ABS calibration, traction control, steering, throttle response, and even the instrument cluster and touch screen look and information. The active valve exhaust system can also be tuned to several modes, including Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja settings. Ranger Raptor also comes with Trail Control™, so drivers can navigate tricky spots while the truck manages the throttle and brakes.
Powertrain Fit for a Class of One
An amazing suspension deserves to be backed by a matching level of power. The Ford Performance tuned twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 produces 430 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class maximum available 405 horsepower,** the most powerful Ranger ever built for increased performance on gravel, dirt, mud, and sand.
Beginning with a compacted graphite-iron cylinder block, the engine utilizes a race-bred anti turbo-lag system to enable boost on demand in Baja mode. It keeps the turbochargers spinning for up to three seconds after the driver backs off the throttle, so acceleration is there while exiting corners. Bolted to that EcoBoost engine is a class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission* mated to an advanced four-wheel drive system with a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case combined with front and rear locking differentials.
Designed for Purpose
Each Ranger Raptor design element has a purpose. Confident, modern styling starts with LED projector headlights to light up the night flanked by C-clamp signature lighting. Bold F-O-R-D lettering on the grille sits above an all-steel bumper with integrated, frame-mounted front and rear tow hooks and LED taillights that provide a signature C-clamp link to the front. Flared fenders with functional fender vents house aggressive 33-inch BFGoodrich® all-terrain KO3® tires on 17-inch wheels that can be mounted to optional beadlock capable wheels with available bead locks for running extra low tire pressures in sand and rocky conditions. Ranger Raptor also sports serious underbody protection. The thick front bash plate is made of high-strength steel and is complemented by dedicated engine, transfer cars, and fuel tank shields.
The Raptor’s cab is built for performance, with a sport steering wheel including cast magnesium alloy paddle shifters for quick transmission control and a signature Raptor centering mark in a Code Orange color. Six overhead upfitter switches mounted in the overhead console simplify powering off-road hardware. Unique Ford Performance front seats are supportive, with extra bolstering to hold drivers in place during high-speed cornering. The rest of the cab includes premium materials trimmed in Code Orange
Ranger Raptor connects the driver to adventure with features like a 360-Degree Camera and Front View Camera to assist in off-roading, Zone Lighting to light up the night in remote locations, and class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist† to help back up boats and campers at the kinds of remote locations Raptors are built to reach. Even far out there, drivers want to be informed and connected, so the Raptor has a high-resolution 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and 12-inch center touchscreen running SYNC® 4A, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ wireless smartphone connectivity. Finally, if the active exhaust doesn’t provide enough auditory stimulation, there’s a Bang & Olufsen® sound system to pump out your favorite soundtracks.
The Ford Raptor family spans across its truck and SUV portfolio. F-150 Raptor, F-150 Raptor R, Bronco Raptor, and now Ranger Raptor are all built for the passionate performance enthusiast who wants a truck to tackle their biggest adventures. A pre-production 2023 Ranger Raptor even proved its mettle by winning the stock midclass category of the Baja 1000, completing the course in 26 hours and 21 minutes. And then it drove home, almost 200 miles from the finish line to California.
Here are some of the features that make the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor stand out from the competition:
- Engine: The Ranger Raptor is powered by a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that ensures smooth and efficient shifting.
- Off-road capability: The Ranger Raptor has been designed with off-road enthusiasts in mind. It features a high-strength steel frame, a reinforced suspension system, and a Terrain Management System that allows drivers to select different drive modes for various terrains. The Ranger Raptor also has a ground clearance of 11.1 inches, making it ideal for tackling tough off-road trails.
- Technology: The Ranger Raptor has advanced technology features, including Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system, which offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. It also features a 12.0-inch touchscreen display, wireless charging, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Compared to the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevrolet Colorado, the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor stands out as the superior truck. Here are some of the reasons why:
- Power: The Ranger Raptor's V6 engine outperforms the Tacoma's 3.5-liter V6 and the Colorado's 2.7-liter four-cylinder engines in terms of both horsepower and torque.
- Off-road capability: While the Tacoma and Colorado both offer off-road versions, the Ranger Raptor's advanced suspension system and Terrain Management System set it apart as the ideal choice for serious off-road enthusiasts.
- Technology: The Ranger Raptor's SYNC 4 system is more advanced than the infotainment systems offered in the Tacoma and Colorado, and its 12.0-inch touchscreen display is larger than both competitors' displays.
- Design: The Ranger Raptor's aggressive and rugged styling sets it apart from the more traditional designs of the Tacoma and Colorado.
