To celebrate this success, Ford Motor Company has now introduced a new limited edition version of the Ford Ranger, which is based on the range-topping Ranger Raptor. As the US-based auto manufacturer claims, the Ford Ranger Raptor Special Edition will be built in limited numbers in an attempt to maintain exclusivity.
However, the limited edition model will come with visual upgrades only. Both the exterior and interior of the pickup truck will come carrying aesthetic changes. There will be no mechanical updates to the Ford Ranger Raptor. It will go on sale in the European market in October 2021 alongside the other Ranger models.
Speaking about the visual updates, the special edition of the Ford pickup truck gets dual matte black racing stripes with red contrast lines, starting from the hood through the roof to the lower body sides, rear wings, and tailgate as well. The wheel arches come with a wider appearance, matching the matte black paint theme of the front and rear bumpers, front grille, door handles. The front red tow hooks add a contrasting appearance.
The Ford Ranger Raptor special edition will be available in multiple colour options. These are - Performance Blue, Conquer Grey, and Frozen White. Inside the cabin of the pickup, the colour theme will add sportiness with red contrast stitching on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and door trims.
