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 the F150, and raptor translates to "raptor" that we often hear, similar to Mercedes-Benz's AMG and BMW's M series. In other words, the Ranger Raptor is the Raptor version (high-performance version) of the Ranger pickup.
