Ford has been on a winner with the Ranger, the best-selling ute in a number of markets across Asia Pacific. The Ford Ranger Raptor is more akin to an off-road racer with a more bold appearance and high-end off-road performance features.

The Raptor shares the same nomenclature as the F-150 Raptor and has Ford and probably a few of its die hard fans licking their chops. 

“We are very excited to bring Asia Pacific’s toughest and smartest pickup truck to a whole new level,” Trevor Worthington, vice president, product development, Ford Asia Pacific said.

“Ford Ranger Raptor will offer Ranger fans a fantastic opportunity to own an authentic off-road performance version of their favorite truck for the first time.”
