Ockert Berry, VP Operations, Ford Middle East and Africa: "The Ranger Raptor is an exciting and very important model for us, as it pioneers an entirely new dimension for the pick-up or bakkie market and represents the first Ford Performance model to be produced in South Africa, destined for export to customers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa."

Powered by an all-new 157kW and 500Nm from a 2.0-litre bi-turbocharged engine assembled at the firm's Struandale Engine Plant in Port Elizabeth, and utilising a sophisticated new 10-speed automatic transmission. 

The engine is combined with Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) shock absorbers, an advanced Terrain Management System (TMS) that includes an exciting Baja mode, a toughened reinforced chassis, powerful all-disc braking system and specially developed BF Goodrich tyres.
