Off-Road Hardware
- FOX Live Valve shocks: 2.5-inch internal-bypass units with piggyback reservoirs at the rear.
- Wider track and long-travel suspension tuned for high-speed desert and trail driving.
- Selectable drive modes for different terrain.
Towing and Payload Trade-Offs
The Raptor tows less than a standard Ranger, which Ford rates at roughly 7,500 lb, because its suspension is tuned for performance. The 5,510 lb rating suits a light camper or a UTV trailer, not heavy equipment.
Fuel Economy and Running Costs
U.S. EPA figures are roughly 16 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined. Look up the Natural Resources Canada fuel-consumption rating for your model year, and expect higher tire and fuel costs than a regular Ranger.
Who It Fits and Alternatives
- Choose it for: fast trail and desert driving with a usable crew-cab midsize body.
- Skip it if: you tow heavy trailers or want the lowest running costs.
Comparable off-road trucks include the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and the Colorado ZR2 Bison. If you want a full-size performance pickup, see the Ram 1500 TRX.
