Ford's Ranger Raptor will tackle the Baja 1000 in Nov. ahead of its U.S. debut in 2023.
Both the new Ranger and Ranger Raptor have already been launched in global markets, one of which is Australia, where Ford's local division has built an extra-rugged Ranger Raptor to tackle the 2022 Baja 1000 starting Nov. 18.
Modifications made include a 3.0-inch lift kit, widened wheel arches, and Method Racing wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich off-road tires. The engine is the Ranger Raptor's twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, which in stock form delivers a maximum 392 hp. Ford hasn't said whether any upgrades have been made to the engine for the Baja 1000, though to highlight the automaker's sustainability efforts, the truck will be fueled by a low-carbon fuel sourced from Shell.
“The Baja 1000 is a demanding event and a well-known proving ground for off-road vehicles,” Brian Novak, Ford Performance's head of off-road motorsports, said in a statement. “By entering this event, we’re building on the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of development testing and pushing the Ranger Raptor to new extremes.”
