Ford has always been a leader in the automotive industry. It’s the best-selling brand for six straight months in 2023, and it’ll likely continue its forward momentum with the rollout of the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. This high-performance midsize truck is poised to take the North American market by storm with its robust off-road performance and rugged styling when it arrives before the end of this year. Let’s look at what we can expect from this highly anticipated vehicle.

2024 Ford Ranger Raptor

Overview of the Ford Ranger Raptor

A complete redesign marks the fifth generation of the Ford Ranger. The new model’s exterior is bolder and more aggressive, taking inspiration from the popular Ford F-150, and it features a longer wheelbase. The cabin also received an update, with a vertically oriented touchscreen being the most noticeable. These and other significant changes are present in the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, which is expected to be available in late summer with an MSRP of $55,365.

The Ranger Raptor’s higher price tag isn’t surprising, especially in comparison to the rest of the Ranger lineup. It has a more powerful engine and a sturdier suspension suited to off-road driving. If you’re interested in this midsize truck, our finance department can help you look into your options and find a payment plan that works for you.

Exterior

For 2024, Ford is offering the Ranger in just one body style. This means that the Raptor — and other 2024 Ranger trims — will only be available in SuperCrew or four-door configuration with a 5-foot bed.

The Ranger Raptor stands out thanks to its unique features. These include larger 33-inch all-terrain tires, a bold front grille with “FORD” lettering, Raptor-exclusive LED taillights, dual exhaust outlets, and flared fenders — all of which give the truck a more muscular appearance. It also has a higher ground clearance of 10.7 compared to the other trims, which are 8.8 and 9.3 inches. These are the exterior color options for the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor:

  • Shadow Black.
  • Oxford White.
  • Iconic Silver Metallic.
  • Shelter Green Metallic.
  • Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
  • Carbonized Gray Metallic.
  • Velocity Blue Metallic.
  • Cactus Gray.
  • Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat.

Interiors

The interior of the five-seater Ranger Raptor is similar to the other trims, with a few touches that set it apart. The most notable among these are the orange accents on the seats, dashboard, and steering wheel. Its key standard features include:

  • Leather upholstery.
  • Heated and power-adjustable bucket front seats.
  • Heated and leather-wrapped manual tilt and telescopic steering wheel.
  • Ambient lighting.
  • Fade-to-off interior lights.
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control.
  • Intelligent Access with push-button start.
  • Universal garage door opener.
  • 120-volt power outlet.

Power and Performance

A 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged, powers the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor EcoBoost V-6 engine that’s mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and capable of producing 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It’s more powerful than the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that’s standard in the other trims. It also bests the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 that delivers 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, which is available on the XLT and Lariat.

The Ranger Raptor is a full-time four-wheel-drive truck designed to take on the roughest terrain with its upgraded suspension system. The use of aluminum for the front suspension’s control arms reduces unsprung weight and improves handling, while the Watts link rear suspension aids in the vehicle’s stability. FOX Live Valve shocks provide continuous damping adjustment based on the terrain and the drive mode selected for a smooth off-road driving experience.

Payload and Towing Capabilities

The 2024 Ranger Raptor has a lower payload capacity than the other vehicles in the lineup. It can carry a maximum of 1,411 pounds, while the XL, XLT, and Lariat have payload capacities of 1,805, 1,711, and 1,542 pounds, respectively. The Raptor’s towing capability also falls behind, with a maximum of 5,510 pounds. In contrast, the other Ranger trims have a maximum towing capability of 7,500 pounds.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2024 Ranger comes standard with Ford’s SYNC 4A infotainment system, FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot, 911 Assist, and AppLink. There are also USB ports for charging and connecting devices. These are the features you can expect to find or that are optional for the Ranger Raptor:

  • 12.4-inch center display.
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
  • 12.4-inch instrument cluster display.
  • SiriusXM satellite radio.
  • 10-speaker sound system with subwoofer from Bang & Olufsen.
  • Wireless charging.
  • Voice-activated navigation with SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link.

  • Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking.
