2019 Ford Ranger Raptor

The 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor is an elite, high-performance midsize pickup truck engineered by Ford Performance to conquer punishing off-road terrain at incredible speeds. Heavily inspired by grueling desert trophy truck racing, this aggressive wide-body pickup trades the stiff, load-carrying rear leaf springs of a standard commercial truck for a bespoke, coil-sprung rear suspension layout featuring an integrated Watt’s linkage and race-bred FOX 2.5-inch Internal Bypass shock absorbers. Its imposing exterior commands absolute road dominance, sitting 150 mm wider and 50 mm taller than a standard Ranger, packaged with flared composite fenders, heavy-duty cast-aluminum side steps, an industrial F-O-R-D block-letter grille, and rugged 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres. Inside, the cabin mimics a premium sports cockpit, featuring heavily bolstered leather and technical suede sports seats designed alongside orthopedic specialists to hold passengers firmly over rough jumps, accented by a sports steering wheel with a red center-top marker and lightweight magnesium paddle shifters. While it serves as a highly refined daily driver complete with an 8.0-inch SYNC 3 touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and advanced active safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking, its true heart lies in its Terrain Management System, which includes the legendary Baja Mode—a setting that dials back traction control and sharpens transmission responsiveness for wide-open, high-speed trail running.
