KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How much does the second-gen Ranger Raptor costs?

    Ford is yet to announce the second-gen Ranger Raptor price, but we expect it will receive a substantial hike over the existing model.

  • second-generation Ranger Raptor engine

    As expected the new Ranger Raptor is powered by a 3.0-litre Ecoboost twin-turbo petrol V6 mill making a maximum power of 288 hp along with a peak torque of 491 Nm. Some sources reported the American version will pump out 397 hp and 583 Nm. Either way, the new Ranger Raptor gets a good power hike compared to the ongoing 213 hp figure.

    It is to be noted that Ford will continue to offer the existing 2.0-litre turbo diesel unit in certain markets, now will it come with a power hike or not is still a mystery. We hope to get the V6 Raptor for the local market.

    The V6 mill is coupled with a new full-time AWD system and a 10-speed automatic gearbox. Like the existing model, the new Raptor will also feature the variant-exclusive Baja mode, it now comes with an active exhaust system selector, called Baja, it is the loudest of all.

    The Baja drive mode also comes with an anti-lag system for the turbocharger. It keeps the turbocharger spinning for around three seconds after the throttle is lifted off by the driver, thus allowing for faster resumption of acceleration.
