February 10, 2022: The 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor is just weeks away from being revealed.

Ford has announced the next-gen Ranger Raptor will be unveiled at 6.00pm AEDT on February 22, with a short video being released to accompany the news.

While no details of the Ranger Raptor’s powertrain have been revealed with the teaser video, the engine shares a very similar note to the 3.0-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo petrol V6 found in the recently-unveiled Bronco Raptor.

If the Ranger gets the same engine and tune as the Bronco Raptor’s V6 – which also shares Ford’s T6 chassis architecture with the ute – then the Ranger Raptor will see a doubling in its performance figures compared with the outgoing model.

The Bronco is targeting “more than 400hp”, or 298kW in new money, nearly twice as much as the 157kW from the current Ranger Raptor’s 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel four-cylinder power plant.

More details will be revealed when the 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor is revealed on February 22. Stay tuned.
