The 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is launching soon … quite literally in some cases.
The high performance midsize pickup was designed for high-speed off-roading and jumping, thanks to a special suspension built around a set of Fox Live Valve shocks.
To help it reach liftoff speed, it comes powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 rated at 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
The official fuel economy figures for the 4×4 truck have been posted, and the 37 mpg Ford Maverick hybrid doesn’t have to worry about any competition.
HYBRID FORD RANGER 6X6 IS A WAR MACHINE
The Ranger Raptor is rated at 16 mpg city, 17 mpg combined and 18 mpg highway.
That beats its closest competitor, the 310 hp/430 lb-ft Chevrolet Colorado ZR2’s 16/16/16 rating.
It’s also more efficient than the Ford Bronco Raptor, which is built alongside it and gets 418 hp and 440 lb-ft out of its version of the 3.0-liter V6 while burning through gasoline at a rate of 15/15/16.

Ranger Raptor prices start at $56,960. Ranger production was halted during the UAW strike against Ford and has only recently resumed, delaying the official launch of the 2024 models.
