The 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor is an impressive performance version of the popular pick-up truck. Let's dive into the details: Engine Options: The original Raptor launched with a 3.0-litre, 288bhp V6 turbocharged Ecoboost petrol engine, which has a predictably juicy official fuel consumption of 20.5mpg. Later in summer 2023, Ford introduced a 2.0-litre diesel option with 207bhp and an official fuel consumption figure of 26.6mpg12. Driving Experience: The Ranger Raptor is imposingly large on British roads, measuring nearly 5.4 meters in length, nearly two meters in height, and over 2.2 meters wide. Despite its size, it rides and handles well, thanks to upgrades like a strengthened ladder-frame chassis, knobbly off-road tires, and an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system. The diesel version has a 0-62mph time of 10.5 seconds, while the petrol version does it in 7.9 seconds1. Private Buyer's Plaything: The Ranger Raptor is technically not a commercial vehicle due to its limited cargo capacity (rated to carry only 652kg). It features flared wheel arches, chunky all-terrain tires, and bold Ford lettering on the front grille. Private buyers can enjoy its spaciousness, versatility, and off-road capabilities. The Ford Ranger Raptor is designed with safety in mind, incorporating several features to keep you and other road users safe: Blind Spot Information: Alerts you when a vehicle is in your blind spot, helping prevent collisions during lane changes. Pre-Collision Assist: Detects potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid an impact. Post-Impact Braking: Helps reduce the severity of secondary collisions after an initial impact. Far-Side Airbag: A pickup segment first, this airbag separates the two front seat passengers during a collision, minimizing injury risk. The Ford Ranger Raptor is purpose-built for off-road adventures. Here are some key features that enhance its off-road capabilities: Terrain Management System: Allows you to select different driving modes (such as mud/sand, rock crawl, and grass/gravel/snow) to optimize performance based on the terrain. FOX Racing Shocks: These high-performance dampers provide excellent suspension travel and shock absorption, allowing the Raptor to handle rough terrain with ease. Skid Plates: Underbody protection shields critical components from rocks and debris. Off-Road Tires: The chunky all-terrain tires offer better grip and traction on challenging surfaces. Increased Ground Clearance: The Raptor sits higher off the ground, allowing it to clear obstacles like rocks and tree roots. Electronic Locking Rear Differential: Enhances traction by ensuring both rear wheels spin at the same speed when needed.
