2024 Ford Ranger Raptor: FINALLY, America Gets the Blue Oval's Beastliest Midsize Truck

1. The 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is the company's most powerful midsize truck to date.

2. The truck shares the T6 platform with the Bronco and some SUVs built in Brazil, Africa, and Asia.

3. The Ranger Raptor's initial development occurred in the Alice Springs area, known as the capital of Australia's "Red Center."

4. Our Ranger Raptor gets a version of the Bronco Raptor's 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6.

5. The Ranger routes that torque through a 10-speed automatic and an electronically controlled transfer case out to front and rear locking differentials.

6. The suspension travel is greatly increased from the mainstream 2024 Ford Ranger's 5.2 inches of jounce and 3.9 inches of rebound in front and 5.0/3.8 rear to the Raptor's 5.2/4.8 front and 6.5/5.0 rear.

7. New upper and lower aluminum front control arms add 3.5 inches to the front track and the upper shock mount is revised.

8. The 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks are programmed by Ford Performance with varying damping maps.

9. The shocks are tailored to suit seven different drive modes: Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja.

10. The system continuously monitors driving style to provide appropriate damping if, for example, you suddenly start ripping across the desert without switching to Baja mode.
