Lean and mean Next-Gen Ranger Raptor makes epic Philippine throwdown at the 6th Ford Island Conquest

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE TRUCK

The Next-Gen Raptor gives drivers the confidence to take the vehicle to its limits. It boasts of a Full Time 4-wheel Drive System with the option to switch to rear-wheel drive, a rear locking differential, underbody protection, and aggressive approach and departure angles.

It is equipped with 2.5-inch FOX shocks with position sensitive damping technology that provides higher damping forces at full jounce and rebound to enable better off-road capabilities, while increased wheel travel and outstanding bump absorption deliver supreme stability and comfort on all terrains.

Equipped with a Trail Control System that functions like cruise control tailored for off-road, drivers can select a set speed with the truck to control the throttle and braking functions. This allows the driver to concentrate entirely on steering through challenging terrains such as rocky trails, muddy tracks, and steep inclines.

HIGHLY CAPABLE AND EFFICIENT

At the heart of the Next-Gen Raptor is the highly capable, reliable, and already-proven 2.0L Bi- Turbo Diesel Engine mated with the 10-speed automatic transmission with e-Shifter that produces 210PS max power and 500Nm max torque and allows the pickup truck to deliver a seamless and efficient performance.

Equipped with seven driving modes (Normal, Sport, Slippery, Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, Sand and Baja), the truck is highly effective in different driving conditions. The modes are calibrated to have an effect on all aspects of the vehicle, from traction control, engine, transmission calibration, and so much more.

TOUGH AND ATHLETIC LOOK

The Next-Gen Raptor wraps its performance chassis in a bold and aggressive exterior that not only takes Ranger to the next level, but screams Ford Performance and clearly links it to the rest of the Raptor family. A cut from its first generation, the Ford DNA is visible in the Next-Gen Raptor’s exterior that gives off a tough athletic look that is recognizable at all angles.

Its bold stance on the outside communicates strength and power through its increased track and flared wheel arches. The front commands attention with its unmistakable Ford look on its Matrix headlights with C-clamp daytime running lights and bigger F-O-R-D lettering, as well as the bumper that is separated from the grille. Giving it a muscular stance on the road is the 17-inch alloy wheels with BF Goodrich K02 high performance all-terrain tires designed for aggressive traction for on and off-road adventures.

BOLD AND POWERFUL INTERIOR

The exterior strength and purpose continue inside the next-gen Raptor with a sports steering wheel with on-center Raptor logo, durable materials throughout, and Code Orange stitching on the instrument panel, trim, and seats that are further enhanced by Raptor’s ambient lighting at night.

The magnesium paddle shifters enable the driver to shift precisely on the performance modes and deliver exact commands from the driver to the transmission.

The cabin also features all-new, jet fighter-inspired sports seats both in the front and rear with prominent bolstering that is more comfortable and supportive during spirited cornering.
