Ford has revealed details of its most powerful Ranger – the ‘next-Gen’ Raptor. It switches to a petrol engine for the first time, a move that indicates Ford’s resolve to push the new vehicle in massive markets such as the USA, where diesel meets considerable consumer resistance.
Using a twin turbo version of Ford’s EcoBoost 3.0-litre V6, the Raptor resets the performance benchmark for double cab utes, making up to 292kW (392hp) at 5650rpm and 583Nm of torque at 3500rpm – when fed with 98 octane fuel.
Raptor is the first production ute to be sold with a factory anti-lag
