When the Ranger came back to North America for 2019 following a hiatus, the immediate followup was: when’s the Ranger Raptor coming out?
Well, Ford made it official — the high-performance variant of its mid-size pickup is now here, along with the first-ever Raptor Assault School in Utah free to customers. The Ranger Raptor has been available in overseas markets for years, but for some reason, never sold in North America. Most likely due to the Ranger Raptor’s price point in the US and Canada.Â
Release date: the 2024 Ranger Raptor will officially go on sale summer 2023. For those interested in putting down a deposit, orders begin late May 2023. It will be assembled at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, with parts for the truck both domestic and foreign.
Price:
- In the US, the 2024 Ranger MSRP is $34,160, with Ranger Raptor at $56,960, including $1,595 for destination and delivery.
- In Canada, Ranger will start at $41,255 CAD and Ranger Raptor will start at $77,805 CAD, excluding $2,095 CAD for destination and delivery.
Specs: Tuned by the folks at Ford Performance, and like its larger F-150 Raptor and Bronco Raptor siblings, this ramped-up Ranger is nothing like the others in the lineup.Â
We don’t expect most Ranger Raptor owners to hit the Baja 1000 — but if they do, this thing will handle it, thanks in part to the Watts link rear suspension and class-exclusive 2.5-inch FOX Live Valve shocks.
This all sits on a purpose-built suspension and standard 17-inch grey wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrains (17-inch beadlock capable wheels are optional, with the same standard tires).
Propelling this badass mini Raptor is a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 powertrain paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering a whopping 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
An advanced four-wheel drive system is standard, as well a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials to conquer off-road terrain with ease.
