2022 Ford Ranger Raptor Revealed | Price, Specs & Release Date
Ford ups the ante on their popular Ranger Raptor model for 2022. With it gaining a more powerful 3.0-litre V6 engine and a substantial design update.
Ford's popular Ranger Raptor pick-up truck has undergone a brand new redesign for 2022 and had an engine update, swapping the last-gens 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine for a 3.0-litre V6. The 2022 Raptor will now produce around 284bhp and 362lb ft of torque, which is a significant increase of around 74bhp compared to the previous model.
Ford is introducing its 'anti-lag' system that they currently use in the Ford GT supercar and more commonly in the ever-popular Ford Focus ST sports car. This anti-lag system essentially keeps the turbo active and spinning for 3 seconds after use, meaning when you let off a bit during a tight corner the turbo will be spinning already for you to power straight out.
Ford haven't released official performance figures yet. But the previous Raptor model with its 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine used to manage the 0 to 62mph sprint in around 10 seconds. The 2022 3.0-litre V6 engine is sure to shave a few seconds off that number.
Ford have revised the new Raptors chassis and reinforced it to improve off-road performance when dealing with the undulations and unpredictability of these routes. It also helps to combat pot-hole laden roads we frequently encounter these days.
The 2022 Raptor gets a new electronically controlled two-speed transfer case and a locking differential at the front and rear, which gives you a total of seven driving modes. Three for on-road driving and four for rough off-road terrain.
On the outside, new features such as a bespoke grille with giant letters FORD etched across it and flared wheel arches instantly tell you this new model means business. The 2022 Raptor sits on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in capable all-terrain type tyres.
Ford have said the previous-gen Raptor was like a Focus ST model, capable and sporty. But the 2022 Raptor will be more like the Focus RS model, a highly strung performance machine at the cutting edge of its technology.
