It took several yearsbut Ford is beginning to expand its high-performance off-road Raptor lineup, which now includes the Ranger and Bronco. Like their F-150 Raptor brothers, they offer more power to help them crawl over rocks and fly over dunes. For those who want to make their 2024 Ranger Raptor or 2022-2024 Bronco Raptor even more ferocious, Ford Performance accessories have a new software calibration.
In addition to improved throttle response and optimized shifting, the upgrades significantly increase the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6’s horsepower and torque. Ranger Raptor owners will see a 12 percent jump in horsepower from 405 to 455 hp, and a 25 percent increase in torque from 430 to 536 lb-ft. The Bronco Raptor’s factory numbers are higher at 418 hp and 440 lb-ft, but the software revisions will bring it to the same peaks as the Ranger Raptor.
The software calibration can be purchased online (click here for Ranger Raptor and here for Bronco Raptor) for $825, or it can be purchased using Ford Pass Rewards points and then installed at a Ford dealership.
Or, you can choose to register your vehicle and attend the Raptor Rally, “an exclusive one-day event held Sept. 21 near the Ford Performance Racing School in Fairfield, Utah,” which will earn you a 20% coupon to purchase alignment tools and other accessories on the Ford Performance Parts website. The rally’s $500 entry fee includes your vehicle, trails for you and one guest, off-road riding, seminars, meet-and-greet with professional off-road racers, warm-up laps, food and beverages, and more. Whichever you choose, the alignment is covered by the three-year, 36,000-mile Ford Performance Parts warranty on your Ranger Raptor or Bronco Raptor.
