Ford Philippines has officially added the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 to its permanent vehicle lineup in response to strong demand from Filipino customers. Initially launched in a limited batch of 300 units at the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) last October, this high-performance pickup has quickly gained popularity among off-road enthusiasts and truck buyers.
Pedro Simoes, Managing Director of Ford Philippines, emphasized the significance of this decision: “Due to the overwhelming demand from our customers, we are excited to announce that the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 will now be a permanent addition to our performance vehicle portfolio. The Raptor 3.0L V6 is a personal favorite, and I can’t wait for more customers to experience its exceptional power and unmatched versatility.”
Increased power
The Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6, engineered by Ford Performance, is built to deliver outstanding performance both on and off the road. It features a 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost engine, producing 397-PS and 583-Nm of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powerful engine is complemented by an electronically controlled active exhaust system, allowing drivers to tailor the engine sound to their liking.
To provide superior handling and durability on challenging terrain, the Raptor is equipped with a suspension system designed by Ford Performance. It includes Fox 2.5-inch Live Valve internal bypass shock absorbers, engineered for stability and control in various driving conditions. The truck also comes with a permanent four-wheel-drive system that features an electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case and front and rear locking differentials, making it ideal for serious off-road adventures.
Enhancing its versatility, the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 offers up to seven selectable drive modes, including the off-road-focused ‘Baja’ mode for high-speed desert running. These modes adjust key parameters such as engine and transmission response, ABS sensitivity, traction control, steering feel, and instrument cluster display. The customizable MyMode "R" button on the steering wheel further enhances driver control, enabling personalization of various vehicle settings, including suspension stiffness, exhaust mode, and drivetrain configurations.
Two Raptors now available
“The enhanced availability of the Ranger Raptor 3.0L for Filipino customers further strengthens the Raptor brand in the country, complementing the Ranger Raptor 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine. Pickup enthusiasts can now choose the Raptor that best fits their needs and lifestyles,” added Simoes.
The Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 is available at Ford dealerships nationwide, priced at P2,739,000. It comes in several color options, including Arctic White, Absolute Black, Blue Lightning, Command Grey, and Code Orange, with the latter available for an additional P15,000. Customers also receive a five-year warranty, underscoring Ford’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
With its combination of power, off-road capability, and advanced technology, the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 is an excellent choice for Filipino truck buyers seeking a performance-driven pickup.
