While Ford sells a professional Raptor version of its Ranger midsize pickup in global markets—aggressive off-avenue gear and all—that model and its 210-hp, 369-lb-toes 2.0-liter diesel powertrain stay off the North American menu. Still, there’s now a way for Americans to deal with the creation of Hennessey’s VelociRaptor Ranger. The Texas-based totally-tuner is providing a package that turns up the U.S.-market Ranger’s strength and attitude.
The 2019 Ranger’s 2.3-liter turbocharged gasoline 4-cylinder makes 270 horses and 310 lb-ft from the factory. However, Hennessey Performance Engineering has managed to juice it to 350 horsepower and 385 lb-toes via a new excessive-go with-the-flow consumption, a chrome steel Catback exhaust, and an ECU reflash. The greater grunt is said to shave 1—three seconds from the inventory 0-to-60-mph time, setting the tuner truck at 6.1 seconds.
The VelociRaptor Ranger additionally receives a Stage 1 off-avenue suspension improvement that lifts the Ranger through four inches, a new front bumper with integrated LED lights, hard and fast fender flares, and a quartet of 17-inch Hennessey wheels wrapped in beefy BFG off-avenue tires. A non-compulsory roof-installed LED mild bar and a winch improvement are also available.
If you like what you spot, the Hennessey VelociRaptor Ranger retails $64,950, including the donor 2019 Ford Ranger pickup truck. If you already have a Ranger and need the package, the cost is $19,950 plus car transport. HPE says production is constrained to 500, each with a three-year/36,000-mile guarantee. Once they sell out, you’ll need to wait until the subsequent-gen Ranger arrives, at which factor we count on Ford to offer its personal Raptor version.
Of route, if you need even more oomph, Hennessey might be satisfied to promote you an F-one hundred fifty-based VelociRaptor, which includes versions with dual-turbocharged V-6s that make us a good deal as six hundred horses, one with a supercharged, 758-hp V-eight that starts offevolved at $147,950, or an insane 6×6 version for extra than double that.
