Teased: Listen To The New Ford Ranger Raptor's Throaty V6 Roar

The word 'teaser' is a strong word as we can't see the new Ranger Raptor at all, but the video does reveal the pickup's soundtrack, as well as when we can expect the powerful Raptor to be revealed. In the video, we can hear theRaptor's throaty V6 soundtrack. Previous rumors suggest that the Ranger Raptor will use a 3.0-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, an engine that makes a healthy 400 horsepower in the Explorer ST. That would still give the larger 450-hp F-150 Raptor some breathing room would make the Ranger Raptor about as powerful as the upcoming Bronco Raptor.

As for when the Ranger Raptor will get here, the teaser video indicated that February 2022 is the big month. If it's early in February, that means we have just over two months of waiting before we get to see it. As expected, previous sightings of the Ranger Raptor have shown it decked out with extras like off-road tires, flared wheel arches, and even a snorkel. It will reportedly also come with an upgraded FOX suspension. None of this is surprising based on what we already know the F-150 Raptor can do, so it'll be a thrill to experience Ford's off-road prowess in a more compact package.
