New 292 kW Ford Ranger Raptor: Indicative Price Revealed

Wondering just how much the new Ford Ranger Raptor will cost in South Africa? Well, we have indicative pricing for the Blue Oval brand’s 292 kW double-cab bakkie!

Though the local market launch of the new Ford Ranger Raptor has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2023, we now have a firm idea of just how much the 292 kW double-cab bakkie will cost in South Africa.

Yes, we have received indicative pricing for the flagship Ranger. So, what sort of price tag are we looking at? Well, our information suggests the Raptor will have an indicative price of R1 120 000 (meaning it wouldn’t be the most expensive bakkie in the land considering the Jeep Gladiator comes in at R1 299 900).

Of course, while there’s still a chance this figure will change slightly before the first units arrive in early 2023, it certainly gives us a strong idea of where the Raptor will be positioned. As a reminder, the outgoing Raptor is currently priced at R951 900, though that model employs a 2.0-litre twin-turbodiesel engine worth 157 kW and 500 Nm.

Ford Ranger Raptor review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Excellent overkill. The most Raptor-ish Ford Ranger so far, now with a V6 biturbo petrol and even more suspension”

The Ranger Raptor now feels like a Euro-appropriate mini F-150 Raptor (a ‘proper’ one) rather than an extension of the workhorsey range. The last one was good, but left a bit too much work for a set of splash graphics and chunky tyres to do in terms of ultimate satisfaction. Ok, so we want the de-restricted 392bhp of the Australian motor, but in terms of an upgrade, this is night and day.

An excellent interior with a pin-sharp 12-inch central display and Ford SYNC-4 system, B&O stereo, tonnes of kit and excellent seats (inspired by fighter jets, apparently), some seriously capable suspension and damping, and an exterior re-design that makes it look both wider and meaner and yet somehow tidier all make for a compelling argument. It’s just under sixty grand, but honestly, a mid-range BMW costs that these days, and has roughly a quarter of the character and none of the breadth of ability. This is a car/truck that goads you into easy adventure, and if you’re looking for something a bit different, this might fit the bill. Just don’t expect much change at the petrol pump.

Long-term update: Multi-talented Ford Ranger Raptor SE commands respect

VERDICT

As mentioned previously, I am now probably the biggest fan of the Ford Ranger Raptor SE. It's a bakkie that ticks all the boxes in terms of off-road capabilities, space, power and most of all, the look. Yes, it comes with a hefty price tag but with the amount of respect the Raptor commands on our streets, it is worth it.

As sad as I am to bid farewell to one of the best vehicles I have driven, I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the next gen Ranger Raptor. It promises to be next level. Stay tuned!
