The all-new Ford Ranger Raptor, which made its world debut in Bangkok last week, is the second model after the F-150 to carry the famous Raptor moniker. With that, the Ranger Raptor becomes the most off-road capable variant in the Ranger T6 line-up, and it’s also the most powerful.
Power comes from the new 2.0 litre EcoBlue four-cylinder diesel, producing 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque. Those figures are higher than what the 3.2 litre five-cylinder Puma (200 PS/470 Nm) in the Ranger Wildtrak makes. This is thanks to a bi-turbo system, comprising a smaller high-pressure turbocharger for low-end power delivery and a larger low-pressure turbocharger for higher engine loads.
Mated to the engine is a 10-speed automatic transmission that channels drive to all four wheels. Through the Terrain Management System, drivers can choose up to six driving modes including the newest one called Baja, which gives the driver maximum off-road performance.
Other notable upgrades include a stiffer chassis, fitment of racing-grade suspension, bigger brakes, wider track width, taller ride height with improved approach and departure angles, as well as Raptor-specific styling for both the exterior and interior.
Watch the walk-around video and let us know what you think of the Ranger Raptor. Enjoy!

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Hi ford, can you add in surround camera ? so that there’s also a front camera for us to see the road condition like land cruiser or prado, we can turn on the front camera and that helps the maneuver and also nice to look at the rocks or stone. pls do consider.
Surround 360 camera would be great to help in parking. TQ
Dear Ranger Raptor,
Can you climb up the 999 steps of Heaven Gate,like what have been done by Range Rover Sport PHEV?
Only reach Batu Caves level. Range Rover Sport PHEV is heaven level.
LOL
Quite some unhappiness with the van engine
i want one…..
I would not pay RM200K for a pickup truck, I can plough a little bit more to get a land cruiser Prado diesel recon unit. If it is selling slighly more expensive than the current top spec 3.2 unit I will buy it ” No Questions Asked”.
In Thailand it’ll sell above 1.5M – its aimed at a different type of customer
If there is a market for Rm400k Urban Warrior F-150, there is definitely a market for a RM200k high performance Ranger Raptor.
Yes, KL need such car especially to drive over the pothole,
absolute killer truck, however ford inc, target the income of the private sector when you dangle this vehicle. most of us cant afford 600.00 a month payments for 60 months. lets get real, this is an awesome piece of ford experience but unless you can make it available to people with a FICO of 670-680 and a payment of 350.00 a month, keep it in thailand
