PIMS: Ford PH Gives Ranger Raptor The Twin-Turbo V6


Ford Philippines has finally given its performance truck, the Ranger Raptor the engine it deserves: a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.

Priced at P 2,739,000 (a P 394,000 premium over the Bi-Turbo Diesel), the Ranger Raptor V6 packs a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged V6. This powerplant makes 397 horsepower at 5,650 rpm and 583 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. All that tractive force is then routed through a 10-speed automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive with an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case and a locking differential on both the front and rear axles.

Unlike the Ranger Raptor Bi-Turbo Diesel, the Ranger Raptor V6 gets adaptive (not passive) Fox dampers with 2.5-inch Live Valve internal bypass fitted with Teflon-infused oil. It also continues to have a rear Watt’s link for better high-speed control across rough terrain.

Other changes include visible twin exhausts with active valve exhaust and four modes: Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja, and an idle start-stop system. Engaging the Quiet mode enables occupants to better enjoy the 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

The rest of the Ranger Raptor V6 specs closely mirrors the Ranger Raptor Bi-Turbo Diesel. The kit includes a 12.4-inch all-digital driver’s display, a 12-inch portrait-style infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. a 10-way power adjustable driver seat, an 8-way power adjustable front passenger seat.

In terms of safety, the kit includes seven airbags, front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera, ABS with EBD, stability control, hill start assist, hill descent control, adaptive cruise control, AEB with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind spot warning with rear cross traffic alert and braking, a 360-degree view camera system, reverse braking assist, evasive steering assist, active park assist, and tire pressure monitoring.

Only 300 units of the the Ranger Raptor V6 will be offered initially and each one comes with a standard 5-year warranty. It also comes in five colorways: Code Orange, Command Gray, Artic White, Absolute Black, and Blue Lightning.
