If you're a truck fan, you've probably heard of the Ranger Raptor, Ford's mid-size truck offered to the rest of the world. Ford has made it clear that the possibility of reaching the United States is practically zero (at least officially) at the moment. Although some reports indicate that the next generation of Rangers will also have this flavor. The Ranger Raptor has always been equipped with a four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine, and when we learned that a V8 version was in the works, we were anxious to see what type of performance it could bring it to the table for a truck. which has very competent bases. But it seems that the idea of the Ranger Raptor V8 is now a "yes" instead of a "when".
Whichcar.au and them Wheel The section has caught recent news regarding this semi-official V8 project, and it looks like everything has been put on hold indefinitely. These guys have also rumored the V8 Ranger Raptor story rumored, so we're pretty sure they're right on the details. Citing Ford's massive cutbacks around the world due to the recent health problem, the development of the most powerful Ranger Raptor is just not topping the list yet. The project was to be managed by Premcar, who had strong relationships with Ford and had engineering and production skills. Premcar has a lot of experience in making extremely fast Fords, having done a lot of work on the Falcons and their supercharged V8s from Miami.
The news indicates that the idea was that the Ranger Raptors would be delivered to Ford's Campbellfield plant with the diesel mills removed, and would be replaced by the same 5.0-liter gasoline V8 found in the Mustang . Although Ford's final approval never happens, there is still a chance that solutions such as turnkey or performance kits will be released in the future for those wishing to upgrade to V8. After all, Premcar has the resources to do it. However, I am sure it will void the warranty.
