The Ford Ranger Raptor does not seem to come to the United States

The Raptor Ranger has already pioneered a path through the sand dunes and mud in other countries of the world, but not in North America, and that could stay well. according to motor1, A spokesman for Ford said the Ranger Raptor would only be flown to markets that are not serviced by the F-150 Raptor, which is virtually all markets outside of North America.

(New)One of the big problems in bringing the Raptor Ranger to the United States would be to certify it here because it is based on the overall version of the Ranger and not the American version. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine that powers the Raptor Raptor in other markets is also making it difficult to reach North America.

It makes sense that Ford does not want to spend money to bring the Ranger Raptor to the world, especially since a Ford Performance truck in North America would probably not be successful with a diesel engine.

But that does not necessarily mean we will not have a North American version later.

The F-150 Raptor is a total success for the brand here in North America, which brings us here at TFLTruck to believe that even if we will not see a Ranger Raptor for a few years, it will eventually arrive with an engine with gasoline.

Prices could also be a problem, as the Raptor Ranger would probably be expensive, but since the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 exists, we believe that Ford will not let the brand stay in the mid-size off-road pickup segment for long time.

For the moment, only time will tell. One thing is certain though, do not expect a Raptor Ranger anytime soon.
