The Ranger Raptor has been built to compete in SCORE's stock class. The motorsport version has been conceived by Ford Performance in collaboration with Australia's Kelly Racing and US-based Lovell Racing. While limited technical specifications have been announced, we know that it will run on a one-third blend of biofuel that mixes ethanol and bionaptha.
The Ranger has been modified to be ready for Baja. This includes a large snorkel, a new front fascia with a bull bar and skid plate, and a massive LED light bar. The bed has also been modified to hold two spare tires and plenty of tools.
Other mods include two-inch wider wheel arches, Method Racing wheels with meaty BFGoodrich off-road tires and a three-inch suspension lift. You'll also notice the roll cage inside. This car is built for speed AND safety!
The Ranger Raptor will compete in the 49th Baja 1000, a brutal desert race in Mexico that runs between November 18 and 20. Ford has participated in the Baja 1000 with both the F-150 Raptor and Bronco in recent years.
