Since its debut, the Ford Ranger Raptor Sport has captivated enthusiasts with its sporty allure and unique enhancements compared to the standard Ranger Raptor. Its launch marks a significant milestone, celebrating three years of the Raptor’s dominance in the Malaysian market, while showcasing Ford’s ambition to expand its high-performance pickup lineup across Southeast Asia.
The standout feature of the Ranger Raptor Sport is its formidable 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost engine. This powerhouse delivers a maximum output of 391 horsepower and 583Nm of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD, the system includes a two-speed transfer case and locking differentials for both front and rear axles, ensuring effortless navigation through rugged terrains.
Beyond its engine prowess, the Ranger Raptor Sport boasts an array of specialized features. The 17-inch beadlock-style alloy wheels, equipped with threaded holes for optional beadlock rings, allow for reduced tire pressure, enhancing traction on challenging terrains. This off-road-ready detail underscores Ford’s commitment to delivering an authentic driving experience.
Additionally, the Ranger Raptor Sport stands out with its exclusive Raptor decals and a “sport hoop” rear bar inspired by the latest Ranger Wildtrak. These elements not only amplify its rugged aesthetic but also offer a personalized touch for owners.
The chassis shares the upgraded suspension system of the Ranger Raptor, featuring Fox 2.5-inch Live Valve shocks with internal bypass and Bottom-out Control. The double-wishbone front and Watt’s linkage rear suspension ensure stability and control, whether at high speeds or on uneven terrain.
Inside, the cabin exudes sportiness with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, a leather-wrapped steering wheel marked at the 12 o’clock position, and a prominent Raptor logo. Magnesium paddle shifters and a modern electronic gear selector enhance the driving experience. The 12-inch vertical touchscreen runs SYNC 4A, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Bang & Olufsen 8-speaker sound system, Qi wireless charging, and four USB ports cater to all entertainment and connectivity needs.
Priced at 273,888 RM (approximately 1.75 billion VND) in Peninsular Malaysia, the Ranger Raptor Sport is a premium upgrade from the standard Ranger Raptor, priced at 263,888 RM (1.68 billion VND). With its enhanced features and distinct value, it sets a new benchmark in the high-performance pickup segment.
