Recently, Ford officially released the official map of the new Ranger Raptor, which has a certain improvement in appearance and off-road capabilities, and the most important thing is that the new car has added a 3.0T gasoline engine on the basis of the original 2.0T diesel engine, and the performance has also made people have more expectations, let's take a look at the specific highlights of the new Ranger Raptor through the official map (Note: The following Ranger Raptor will be collectively referred to as the Ranger Raptor).
Before interpreting the official diagram, let's briefly introduce the Ranger Raptor, because there should be many friends who are not familiar with this car, or do not know much about Ford pickup trucks, and may think that as long as the pickup truck that hangs the Ford logo is called F150, just like some of my friends who do not understand the car think that the cars with the "VW" logo are called Santana. Ranger is the name of the model, it is a pickup truck positioned below F150, and Raptor translates to "Raptor", which is similar to Mercedes-Benz's AMG, BMW's M series, that is to say, The Ranger Raptor is the Raptor version (high-performance version) of the Ranger pickup truck.
● Appearance: Based on the normal version, some details are slightly adjusted
The appearance of the Ranger Raptor is basically the same as that of the ordinary version, and the "C-shaped" headlights, the iconic black honeycomb net, and the large "FORD" letter LOGO are all familiar styles, and the overall atmosphere is very strong. In addition, the lower encirclement and lower guard plate have been thickened and thickened design, and the two sides are also equipped with fog light groups, but the size is very small, which is somewhat inconsistent with the positioning of the whole vehicle.
The Ranger Raptor has side skirt pedals on the side, and the front and rear wings are also widened and thickened a lot, creating a wide body effect, of course, the most eye-catching is the "Raptor" logo on the side of the cargo box, which is a good indication of identity. In addition, the 17-inch multi-spoke rim is very eye-catching, and it is matched by BFGoodrich tires, which have strong traction, excellent grip and flexible handling, which are also very suitable for the Ranger Raptor.
The rear of the Ranger Raptor also has the "Raptor" logo, the vertical taillights have a good design, the internal light group has a blackening treatment, and it is similar to a "3" shape after lighting, which is not only beautiful, but also very recognizable. In addition, the rear encirclement has also been widened and thickened, and the rear row layout of the bilateral double can also make the whole vehicle highlight a good sense of sport.
●Interior: 12.4 inch full LCD instrument + 12 inch central control screen, full of sense of technology
Ranger Raptor's interior layout is very simple, 12.4-inch full LCD instrument and 12-inch central control vertical screen is the most attractive part of the entire interior, as a hardcore high-performance pickup truck, Ranger Raptor's sense of technology has not disappointed. In addition, the interior retains the physical buttons, which is convenient for users to operate blindly, and the convenience is still very good.
Configuration, Ranger Raptor with Ford SYNC 4 information interaction system, and support Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, panoramic image and mobile phone remote control and other functions of the strong practical features are also equipped, although it is a pickup, but the Luxury of the Ranger Raptor is not inferior to the same level or the same price of cars and SUVs, which is still worthy of praise.
●Power: 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine
The Ranger Raptor's powertrain is a big attraction, the old model is only equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine, while the new model adds a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, but there is no news that the diesel engine will continue to be used, or completely abandoned. In terms of parameters, the maximum power of this 3.0T engine is 288Ps, the maximum torque is 491N·m, and it is matched by a 10AT gearbox.
