The all-new Ford Ranger is a hot vehicle, and more and more companies want a piece of it. California based PaxPower has created their own version of a Ranger Raptor by upgrading an FX4 model. In order to make the PaxPower Ford Ranger as close to the factory original Ranger Raptor (not sold in North America) as possible, PaxPower strips off the factory bedsides and front fenders, and replaces them with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Raptor panels. The truck also receives an OEM Raptor tailgate, taillights, and grill. The bumpers are Addictive Desert Design Stealth Fighter bumpers.
The suspension received longer and beefier upper and lower control arms resulting in a 5-inch increase in track width. Adjustable 2.5-inch King racing shocks are fitted at each corner, and it was finished off with 17-inch Icon wheels with Toyo R/T tires. PaxPower says its Ranger Raptor should make about 350 horsepower thanks to a tune for the stock 2.3-liter turbo-4.
If you want your own PaxPower Raptor Ranger, be prepared to shell out approximately $65,000.
The Ranger shown here was painted in F150 blue jean metallic.
