Ford Ranger Raptor: Everything you need to know
The breaking news is a completely different engine: the 3.0-liter twin-turbo petrol engine shared with the Bronco Raptor offers almost twice the power of the accompanying diesel, and an exhaust system with variable valve timing for negatives. bar varies depending on the driving mode.
And while the formula remains the same as before, in the presence of the Baja 4×4 high-speed mode, Ford also claims to have made this iteration even better when off-roading faster than before and with difficulty starting. more active.
In other words, this car is designed to sit more comfortably under the Ford Performance umbrella along with some muscle cars and hot hatches. Case in point: it ran a minute faster (claimed) on a 10km off-road test track than the old Raptor.
As before, the Raptor was built and developed in Australia by Ford’s large team of local engineers and designers, and spent its stages at the Victorian Proving Ground and numerous off-road tracks. across the country.
“We know that customers will expect improved performance with the next-generation Ranger Raptor, but I’m not sure they’re really expecting the huge leap we’ve made… I think raw performance will be. blow them away,” said chief program engineer Dave Burn.
Here are the key details we know so far, ahead of the Raptor’s later market launch in 2022.
Powertrain
While the 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel engine will continue to be offered in some markets, Australia will receive an exclusive Raptor version. gasoline 3.0 liter six pump out 292kW power and 583Nm torque, the second at 3500 rpm.
The new engine uses a solid block of compressed graphite iron, and in Baja mode has anti-hysteresis that keeps the turbocharger spinning for three seconds after you hit the gas, which means an immediate boost when reapplied in the back corner. .
It is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and features an electronically controlled active valve exhaust system that amplifies or softens the engine sound across selectable drive modes (Silent, Normal, Sports and strong Baja).
Ford doesn’t release performance figures but has said that the new Raptor is a “quick hot hatch…on the road”.
Where the old Raptor had six driving modes, the new one has seven, tweaking traction control, emissions, throttle, steering lift, instrument cluster design and gearshift points – mentioned by the flat shift logic on the gear car when moving flat. Baja.
The modes are called Normal, Sport, Slippery, Rock, Sand, Mud and Baja. There’s also an off-road cruise control system that operates under 32km/h. Curious to learn more about that…
Powering the ground is a new permanent all-wheel drive system with an electronically controlled two-speed on-demand shift transmission and both front and rear locking differentials to minimize top wheel spin. sunken ground.
Chassis
Ford actually names the Raptor as using a “unique chassis”, with many of the upgrades it has made over the regular Ranger models. For example, a reinforced front suspension tower, a new frame for the jounce bumper, and more C-pillars and reinforcement tubes.
Suspension includes aluminum top and bottom control arms, long-travel front and rear springs, and Watt’s fine-tuned linkage coils at the rear.
Of course, there are also 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve position-sensing dampers linked to the drive modes. These shocks – billed as “the most complex ever on a Ranger Raptor” – are also filled with Teflon blend oil to reduce friction by 50%.
They provide maximum damping force during 25% of the final impact stroke to protect against severe bottom-up impacts, such as during landing. The system can also stiffen the rear shock absorbers to prevent the Raptor from squatting during difficult acceleration, Ford adds.
That’s not something the old Raptor could do…
The Raptor’s off-road capability is enhanced by 2.3mm thick high-strength steel plating, nearly twice the size of the standard Ranger. It is paired with the engine bottom shield and the transfer box shield.
Rated tow hooks are mounted at the front and rear.
Design
Showing off our New Year’s resolutions, this Raptor hit the gym.
Up front (and soon to be seen in your rearview mirror at regular intervals) there’s the word FORD on the large grille, a split front bumper, Matrix LED anti-glare headlights with auto-levelling, and LED headlights. daytime lighting.
Speed dependent lights can obviously adjust the intensity of the beam ahead of your vehicle depending on how fast you’re traveling.
Other design additions include cast aluminum steps, LED taillights and a new rear bumper with integrated steps.
Flared fenders allow a choice of two 17-inch wheels, an optional additional design that comes with beads. Both packages use BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires.
Inside are better reinforced “jet-inspired” sports seats (both front and rear); Code Orange accents on dashboard, trim and seats; lighting around the cabin; a wheel strip in the middle; and cast magnesium paddle shifters.
As for the display, the Raptor combines a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12-inch centrally vertically oriented touchscreen running Ford’s Sync 4 software with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging socket and Bang & Olufsen sound system.
