In the wilds of Utah, the Ford Raptor assault school sets the stage for the debut of the Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor. Priced from $30,000, the Ranger boasts a revamped design from the ground up, featuring updated frames, suspension, and interior while retaining the basic drivetrain.

Chief engineer Carl Woodman sheds light on the technical nuances distinguishing the Ranger Raptor from its Bronco counterpart, emphasizing its focus on precise handling and live valve shocks.
Under the hood, the Ranger Raptor houses a powerful 2.7L engine generating 405 horsepower, complemented by a coilover setup, Watts Link in the rear, and live valve dampers for optimal control. The vehicle's wider chassis and unique controls contribute to its impressive performance on and off the road. With a focus on steering capability and lateral tire patch stiffness, the Ranger Raptor promises a thrilling driving experience tailored for enthusiasts seeking both agility and durability. The engineers' meticulous testing in various terrains ensures that the Ranger Raptor delivers on its promise of versatility and performance.
As the team takes the Ranger Raptor for an off-road drive, the vehicle's enhanced comfort, improved handling, and advanced features shine through. From its intuitive controls to its rugged design, the Ranger Raptor proves to be a worthy contender in the world of high-performance trucks. With a blend of power, precision, and off-road prowess, the Ranger Raptor stands out as a formidable force in the realm of adventure-ready vehicles, ready to conquer any terrain with style and confidence.
