[Aika Auto Overseas New Car Original]
Recently, Ford officially released a new Ranger Raptor trailer video, the video of the camouflage car is being tested in the Australian outback for durability testing. According to the information released at the end of the film, the car will make its global debut in Australia on February 22.
Although the test car in the video is still camouflaged, because Ford has officially released the latest generation of Ranger ordinary models earlier, it can be judged from the details of headlights and China Net that the car will basically continue the exterior design of ordinary models. But on the high-performance version that features passability, the front and rear bumpers have been redesigned and a stronger lower skid plate has been added. According to foreign media speculation, the car may be equipped with a more hardcore Bailuchi K02 off-road tire as standard.
In addition, the suspension upgrade is also a highlight of the new car, all the connecting rods and connections of the fully enhanced Watt linkage can not only cope with the huge impact of high-speed off-road driving, while the standard FOX three-channel shock absorber has a longer travel, can ensure that the four wheels in the limit state as possible grounded. Fox Live Valve, a patented FOX technology, can provide the most appropriate support for the vehicle by detecting the current suspension condition and wheel speed, judging the current road conditions and controlling the valve opening and closing.

In terms of power, although Ford has not yet announced the technical details, given that the car is based on the same platform as Bronco, it can be inferred that the car has a high probability of sharing the powertrain with the former Raptor model. For reference, the car is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine with a maximum power of 300 kW (407 hp) and a maximum torque of 560 Nm, which is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the Raptor model's iconic Baja mode may also be added to the driving mode option.
