After several months of teasing, the new Ford Ranger Raptor will officially be revealed on February 7, which is just a few days away. This is according to a post on Ford Thailand’s Facebook page, and the performance-oriented pick-up truck will most likely break cover in the kingdom.
Based on what we’ve been shown in the past, the Ranger Raptor will most likely pack a high-output turbodiesel engine, providing larger figures than what the standard 3.2 litre Duratorq is capable of. A variety of drive modes are also available, including Baja and Sport modes, along with a four-wheel drive system.
There will also be plenty of Raptor bits to make sure the pick-up stands out visually from a regular Ranger – new grille, bumpers, upgraded suspension, wheels and many more. Put together, the Ranger Raptor should make easy work of difficult terrain like the Borrego Desert in the United States as well as the Australian Outback – places where development of the model took place.
Shortly after its Thailand debut, the Ranger Raptor will be introduced in Australia on February 8. No word on if the model will be introduced in the US, but given how the nameplate has been reintroduced there, it should be expected.

Ya Raptor, just be careful of the fragile turbo hose, turbo kit, noisy brake pad, short-life belt tensioner and alternator, lousy under carriage, not reliable buttons and powered windows… I can go on for hours cause I am driving a Ranger
What you pay is what you get. Ranger is tax free here.
So is Hilux??
All the best cars now are launched in Thailand. Thailand is now the Detroit of Asia. Any launches, Japanese and Mat Salleh companies choose Thailand.
I wonder why nobody launches anything in KLIMS and in Malaysia anymore?
BMW 8series previewing in MY for Southeast Asia in 22/2/18. Booyah!
previewing and launch two different things. OMG
hi toyota salesman. dont be scared. you can go jual nasi lemak
Quite agreed to what you say..normal city drive or not flat off road is fine, but for really rough terrain and steep terrain, it can’t survive long.
3 of my friend hv to change fr ranger back to to hilux in less than 2 years.
The ranger can show off in baja or outback in us, but they should hv tested the car in malaysia, especially those who hv to rely on them to commute to their durian or rubber tree farm which hv rough and steep terrain, it can’t tahan long.
As for other accessories, i believe is still fine.
Had my Wildtrak 3.2 auto since June 2012,now 215000km never hat your probleams.
Are we also getting this here?
