2024 Ford Ranger Raptor Springfield MO

At the heart of every Raptor lies its suspension, and for the Ranger Raptor, this journey begins with a purpose-built suspension system. It’s been meticulously crafted to include lightweight aluminum upper and lower control arms and a rear suspension that offers impressive travel. This rear suspension boasts features like a Watts linkage and trailing arms, all working together to provide that essential control and confidence when venturing off-road. The Ranger Raptor goes even further by incorporating the cutting-edge FOX™ 2.5-inch Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks. These shocks utilize coil-overs at the front and piggyback reservoirs at the rear, effectively minimizing heat buildup to ensure consistent and uninterrupted daily performance. With a solid foundation to rely on, the Ranger Raptor builds upon the already robust Ranger frame. Reinforcements are added to various key areas, including the front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, and suspension mounting points. This enhancement enables the Ranger Raptor to tackle even more punishing off-road conditions without breaking a sweat. But it’s not just about hardware – the Ranger Raptor also incorporates intelligent technology. The FOX™ Live Valve, an Internal Bypass system, dynamically adjusts damping performance based on the vehicle’s Drive Modes. These modes, from Normal to Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja, are thoughtfully designed to cater to various driving scenarios. They enhance on-road comfort, off-road control, capability, and ride quality at high and low speeds. Each of these drive modes goes beyond just adjusting the suspension. They fine-tune aspects like engine performance, transmission behavior, ABS calibration, traction control, steering responsiveness, throttle response, and even the instrument cluster and touchscreen display. Moreover, the active valve exhaust system can be tailored to different settings, including Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja, letting the driver match the vehicle’s voice to the situation. The Ranger Raptor also features a practical tool known as Trail Control.

Pairing an extraordinary suspension with an equally impressive power level is a natural fit. Under the hood, the Ford Performance-tuned twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 comes to life, boasting a substantial 430 lb.-ft. of torque and an outstanding best-in-class maximum available 405 horsepower. This rendition marks the epitome of Ranger power, establishing itself as the mightiest Ranger ever crafted. This power surge equips the vehicle for enhanced performance on various terrains, including gravel, dirt, mud, and sand. At its heart, the engine starts with a compacted graphite-iron cylinder block. Ingeniously designed, it employs a turbo lag-mitigating system inspired by racing technology. This system ensures boost-on-demand, particularly noticeable in the Baja mode. It keeps the turbochargers spinning for up to three seconds after the driver eases off the throttle, delivering immediate acceleration as you navigate those crucial corners. A class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission seamlessly harnesses the EcoBoost engine’s force. This transmission works harmoniously with a cutting-edge four-wheel-drive system, featuring an electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case. This setup is complemented by front and rear locking differentials, all coming together to provide exceptional control and traction in diverse driving scenarios.

Every design element of the Ranger Raptor serves a clear purpose. The confident and modern styling is evident from the start with LED projector headlights that illuminate the night, accompanied by distinctive C-clamp signature lighting. The bold F-O-R-D lettering on the grille dominates the front, positioned above a sturdy all-steel bumper. This bumper seamlessly integrates frame-mounted tow hooks in the front and rear, alongside LED taillights that establish a distinct C-clamp link to the front of the vehicle. Flared fenders, housing practical fender vents, accommodate the robust 33-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain KO3 tires mounted on 17-inch wheels. These wheels can be upgraded to optional beadlock-capable wheels with available bead locks. These optional wheels allow running lower tire pressure in demanding sand and rocky terrain conditions. Not forgetting the essentials, the Ranger Raptor is equipped with severe underbody protection. The front bash plate, constructed from high-strength steel, is a robust shield. Complementing this are dedicated engines, transfer case, and fuel tank shields. Inside the Raptor’s cabin, the performance takes center stage. The sport steering wheel boasts cast magnesium alloy paddle shifters for swift transmission control. A distinctive Raptor centering mark in a vivid Code Orange color adds a touch of character. For added convenience, six overhead upfitter switches are mounted in the overhead console, simplifying powering off-road equipment. The unique Ford Performance front seats offer substantial support, with added bolstering to keep drivers secure during high-speed cornering. The rest of the cabin is adorned with premium materials, tastefully trimmed in the Code Orange hue. The Ranger Raptor is designed to foster a connection to adventure. It offers features like a 360-degree Camera and Front View Camera, invaluable aids during off-roading. Zone Lighting comes to the rescue in remote locations, lighting up the surroundings in the dark. The class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist† proves its mettle by assisting drivers in backing up trailers even in the remote areas Raptors are built to explore. Even in the most far-flung locations, staying informed and connected is essential. For this, Raptor boasts a high-resolution 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12-inch center touchscreen running SYNC 4A, complete with wireless smartphone connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
