Our source says that customers in Thailand were the most affected given the short shipping times from the factory to the dealerships. Issues with faulty parts in the auto industry is quite a common occurrence, but thankfully Ford's quality control team reacted quickly and immediately issued an order to stop selling and stop shipping the affected models fitted with the faulty 10-speed gearboxes. Roughly 1000 units of Ranger (including the Raptor) and Everest have the faulty component. The protrusions affected the performance of the torque converters, to the point that all drive was lost. What Ford's inspection team had discovered was that these parts had protrusions from the welding studs.

There is also an available Bang & Olufson sound system.As our source had explained, the issue stems from a problematic batch of parts from a OEM. Inside, the next-gen Ranger features all kinds of niceties like a 12.4-inch digital dash and a 12-inch center touchscreen, the latter of which is running Ford's Sync 4A infotainment system with features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along for the ride. Features like Trail Control and terrain modes make an appearance as well. Those shocks are bolted to a suspension system that's made mostly of aluminum to help save on weight.

To handle the jumps and bumps of whatever far-flung desert the Ranger Raptor finds itself in, Ford has equipped it with 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve shocks, which are filled with Dupont Teflon-infused oil and which should provide plenty of cushy damping even over terrible roads or no roads. It probably sounds rad too.īecause the Raptor is likely to be subjected to some fairly extreme mistreatment at the hands of its enthusiast owners, Ford, having learned its lesson with the first F-150 Raptors, has spent a great deal of time reinforcing the Ranger Raptor's chassis above and beyond the regular next-gen rest-of-world Ranger. Oh, and did we mention that Ford has seen fit to include antilag on the Ranger Raptor to increase turbo response?. The modes are Quiet, Normal, Sport and Baja, and we can only assume that Baja sounds pretty rude in the best possible way. The Ranger Raptor has an active exhaust system, too, with four profiles that are selectable through a button on the steering wheel. next year 🇺🇸- Jim Farley February 21, 2022 Ranger & Ranger Raptor are both coming to the U.S.
