The current truck is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nano V6 with 405 hp, connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission and permanent 4WD. Its party tricks are its FOX desert-racing suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and 10.7-inch ground clearance, making it an all-terrain sports truck with very few direct rivals.2026 Ford Ranger Raptor in Shelter GreenFordWhat's New for 2027The 2027 Ranger Raptor is a carryover model with no changes.2024 Ford Ranger Raptor in Shelter GreenView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleExteriorThe Raptor cannot be mistaken for any other Ranger, with its prominently flared wheel arches and unique dark-gray 17-inch aluminum wheels; beadlock-capable wheels are optional, so you can lower your tire pressures off-road. The big 33-inch BFGoodrich K03 all-terrain tires fill the arches, and the Raptor has a trim-specific grille with big "FORD" lettering, below a vented hood. The truck comes with high-clearance front and rear bumpers for superior approach and departure angles, heavy-duty skid plates, tow hooks, dual exhausts, and eye-catching zone lighting.2026 Ford Ranger Raptor in Velocity BlueFord configuratorView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe Raptor cabin gets all the extras available in a Ranger, including leather upholstery, heavily bolstered and heated power front seats, a heated steering wheel trimmed in leather, dual-zone climate control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, ambient lighting, a garage-door opener, and a wireless charging pad. The 12-inch digital gauge cluster is joined by a 12-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless smartphone integration, and 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio. The front cabin is spacious but, this being a midsize truck, the rear seat is rather snug, with 34.6 inches of legroom, although adults will fit just fine.2026 Ford Ranger Raptor interiorFord configuratorAdvertisementAdvertisementView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2027 Ford Ranger Raptor's price is expected to stay mostly flat this year.CategoryDetailPriceMSRPRanger Raptor 4×4~$57,200There is only one trim, so it depends on the extras you add, but even there, the Raptor is full-house, with almost everything fitted as standard.

Just keep in mind that this truck is not made for ultimate load-carrying or towing capability – that's not its mission. The near-$60K price of admission is expensive for a midsizer, but you get real performance hardware and capability, tailor-made for aggressive trail driving. In this role, it goes unchallenged in this class.2026 Ford Ranger Raptor in Shelter GreenFordCompetitorsChevrolet Colorado ZR2Toyota Tacoma TRD ProJeep Gladiator MojaveNissan Frontier PRO-4XHonda Ridgeline TrailSportAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 1, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
