Ford Ranger Raptor Could Make Its Way to Stateside

Finally.

Ford made it clear that there will not be a Ranger Raptor anywhere in the U.S. at this time. Hermann Salenbauch, Ford Performance Director, dispelled Internet rumors about an American Ranger Raptor at an event held by the Blue Oval in October. However, we will eventually get a Raptorized Ranger.

According to Road & Track, Ford plans to launch a Ranger Raptor in the U.S. along with the new Ranger. However, neither will arrive before at least 2022. The Ranger Raptor will not look the same as the one we know and love. Instead, it will be more similar to the Bronco.

The social media accounts of Ford engineers provide news about the next-gen Ranger Raptor. R&T‘s findings reveal that the new Ranger will have an internal designation P703. The Ranger’s current internal code was P375 (P375N in North America). On his social media accounts, one chassis engineer stated that he is currently working on a Raptor Ranger version with the internal code of P703. The vehicle is expected to arrive in North America sometime in 2022, or shortly thereafter. Ford Ranger Raptor Could Make Its Way to Stateside

This new Ranger Raptor is being called “Project Redback” by engineers internally. The new Ranger will be on display alongside the Bronco. Modatek, a company that builds both Bronco frames, is the publisher. It notes that the vehicles have nearly identical structures and it could lead to a Bronco Raptor. We believe.

When the new Ranger Raptor debuts, it will likely feature an EcoBoost gas engine underneath instead of the diesel. The American Ranger’s turbocharged 2.3-liter turbocharged engine produces 270 horsepower (201 Kilowatts) as well as 310 pound-feet (442 Newton-meters).
