2024 Ford Ranger and 2024 Ford Ranger RAPTOR - USDM (P703N)

I am proud to announce the 2024 Ranger USA range, that should've been what we returned to the midsize segment with and not the P375N sold from 2019 to 2023.

DEARBORN, Mich., May 10, 2023 – The wait is over; the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is coming to North America. Raptor is based on a proven legacy of performance and built with uncompromised suspension design, power, purposeful technology, and rugged styling. Ranger Raptor is fully prepared to take on the most demanding terrain its extreme adventure-seeking customers can find. 

Confident Suspension, Purposeful Tech

The heart of every Raptor is its suspension. Ranger Raptor starts with a purpose-built suspension that includes lightweight aluminum upper and lower control arms and a long-travel rear suspension with a Watts linkage and trailing arms for control and confidence in off-road conditions.

Ranger Raptor’s next-generation FOX™ 2.5-inch Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks are coil-overs at the front and piggyback reservoirs at the rear to reduce heat build-up for uninterrupted performance all day long.

Ranger Raptor is built on a beefy foundation, taking Ranger’s fully boxed frame up a notch by reinforcing the front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, suspension mounting points, and other key areas so Ranger Raptor can handle more punishing off-road conditions.***

The FOX™ Live Valve Internal Bypass system changes damping performance based on Ranger Raptor’s Drive Modes. The modes include Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja, all developed to provide better on-road comfort, off-road control, capability and ride quality at high and low speeds.

Each selectable drive mode appropriately adjusts the tuning of the engine, transmission, ABS calibration, traction control, steering, throttle response and even the instrument cluster and touch screen look and information. The active valve exhaust system can also be tuned to several modes including Quiet, Normal, Sport and Baja settings. Ranger Raptor also comes with Trail Control™ so drivers can navigate tricky spots while the truck manages the throttle and brakes.

Powertrain Fit for a Class of One

An amazing suspension deserves to be backed by a matching level of power. The Ford Performance tuned twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 produces 430 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class maximum available 405 horsepower,** the most powerful Ranger ever built for increased performance on gravel, dirt, mud and sand.

Beginning with a compacted graphite-iron cylinder block, the engine utilizes a race-bred anti turbo-lag system to enable boost on demand in Baja mode. It keeps the turbochargers spinning for up to three seconds after the driver backs off the throttle, so acceleration is there while exiting corners. Bolted to that EcoBoost engine is a class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission* mated to an advanced four-wheel drive system with a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case combined with front and rear locking differentials.

Designed for Purpose

Each Ranger Raptor design element has a purpose. Confident, modern styling starts with LED projector headlights to light up the night flanked by C-clamp signature lighting. Bold F-O-R-D lettering on the grille sits above an all-steel bumper with integrated, frame-mounted front and rear tow hooks and LED taillights that provide a signature C-clamp link to the front. Flared fenders with functional fender vents house aggressive 33-inch BFGoodrich® all-terrain KO3® tires on 17-inch wheels that can be mounted to optional beadlock capable wheels with available bead locks for running extra low tire pressures in sand and rocky conditions. Ranger Raptor also sports serious underbody protection. The thick front bash plate is made of high-strength steel and is complemented by dedicated engine, transfer case and fuel tank shields.

Our 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor will just start at under $57,000, powered by a 3.0L TTV6 EcoBoost engine, putting 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Initial launch will be powered by 2.3L I4T Ecoboost rated 270/310 and optional 2.7L TTV6 EcoBoost putting out 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

My spouse worked on this amongst many other T6 vehicles here Michigan (as well as down in Australia) and I'm damn proud of it, as I also look forward to seeing what Toyota brings to the table in the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Competition is healthy!


POST TO BE CONTINOUSLY UPDATED.

 

Do you know if the 3.0L ecoboost is just the 2.7L bumped up to 3.0L like they did for certain Lincoln sedans?

 

Not to my knowledge.

 

Going to be fun to watch the comparison videos of this Raptor vs the 4th Gen Pro

 

Not to crap on Toyota since it’s a Toyota forum, but unless they put some major power plant changes in the TRD Pro it won’t come close to the Raptor.

 

@Carmaker1 it must have been REALLY hard to keep quiet about this until now!

 

@Carmaker1 are you guys getting one?

also - do you have more details on those adjustable shocks? Curious how they physically adjust…

 

The regular Ranger roasts it in the 0 to 60

 

Competition is always good. The very stale midsize market showing some life.

 

Live Valve has been around for about 5 years, just google it

 

$57k for the raptor. Toyota better actually put out something to compete at the $60k price other than fancy leatherette and infotainment.

To for $60k I’d go with the lariat f150. we shall see what happens when car loans are on par with rent… new cars are almost unaffordable and certainly luxury at almost all the MSRPs right now.

 

At the end of the day....it's still a Ford and I've had my share of Fords in my life.

That's why I have a Toyota now....

 

The Pro will probably have some sort of hybrid setup which I estimate will not be better than the 3.0 TT and will likely return a marginal MPG bump.

I don't know how the average American can afford a new full sized truck, other than the obvious answer of awful financial decisions on like 84 month loans. I think this is why Ford and GM are juicing up their smaller trucks, as these are now as expensive as full sized truck from just a few years back

 

Infotainment ! Good one!

 

Add 10 to 20K markup like any Raptor. The new Colorado is getting some big time upgrades. Toyota is always last to the party

 

Looks nice, wish it had the 7-speed manual as an option on at least one of the engines though. I really do not like the Ford 10-speed. Though I’m sure the 3.0L will be nuts, and even the 2.7L. The 2.3L is already dang good for what it is.

 

Definitely agree with you here. More competition, more reason to engineer a vehicle that is of similar build.

Hopefully we see front/rear lockers in the Pro, but the TRD OR would be nice too. I'm super interested to see where the 2024 Tacomas go. I'd love to trade my truck in on a hybrid if the bugs get worked out from the Tundra and the longevity of Toyota shines through; just helps all of us see how our Tacomas will pan out.

I know fuel economy ratings are "perfect specs" on the Tundra but the hybrid gets 20+mpg mostly city compared to 14mpg mixed from the V8, Tacoma should come down a fair bit if they give it the new powertrain.

 

This truck looks cool! Competition is great, thanks for sharing. I've worked with a few of the larger Ford trucks and they have been fantastic.

 

It's a good transmission to use, too. I did an extended test drive of one after I put a deposit down on a Bronco. For what its worth, I didn't feel like the thing was at all underpowered with the 2.3 on 33s.

 

I stumbled across the new Raptor Ranger this afternoon. The HP and TQ ratings caught my attention for a midsize truck. I can't say that I'd buy it though.
60k for a midsize truck (Ford, Toyota, whatever) is a hard pass for me. I don't see the value at that price.
