Ranger Raptor R. What would you want to see?

[SubaruRaptor]

I would like to see apple carplay that works without having to reset constantly. Oh and more HP, sunroof and 35's

Just have a burner android phone!

Good with all of those.
+Upgraded Intercooler
+Full underside skid plate protection/armor
Replace running boards with functional rock sliders
J-Braces standard
5.0 would be great but I'd be fine with a HO 3.5L TT

It would be cool to be able to fit 35" tires without removing the crash bars. Also, how about an extra cab model.

I have had conversations with several Ranger Raptor owners on the concept of a future Ranger Raptor R.

This would be my perfect truck:

-Widen the truck to at least 80in and give us the marker lights and orange DRLs back.
-Coyote 5.0 with over 500hp and 500tq
-10R80 transmission
-35s and suspension travel numbers closer to the f150 Raptor
-Beefed-up steering rack, tie rods, and upper and lower arms.
-A bigger fuel tank with at least a 500-mile range
-Fox 3.0's with rebound and compression adjustments similar to the f150 Raptor
-Price under 80k
-A/C seats

I think a Ranger with this spec would completely dominate the midsize market. There would be no more debating ZR2 and TRD Pro nonsense.

What would Ford have to build for you to consider buying one?

I second this 100%
Can we also get better colors? Irritates me that I couldn’t get mine in Race Red. An actual RED, not that OrangeRed bullshit

This list is about perfect!

The gave the big brother the Predator engine so it's more fitting if the Ranger-Raptor gets the voodoo engine!!!

Most of your list can actually be purchased easily and bolted on, (with a bit of welding) ,... and programing (I pioneered the Bronco Rack-Hack)
HOWEVER, I would buy another Ranger Raptor if Ford steps it up a few notches!!!

Hell, I would love to just get my truck that has been on order for more than a year first.

Similar hood design as the F150 Raptor would look pretty nice.

Agreed. The RR hood is a bit understated in my opinion. A more aggressive hood would be a good way to add some flare to a RRR version.

Color matching inside interior.
35" Tires
Rear Vents
J Braces

 

[cc1999]

5.0L v8

Larger fuel tank.
With this one I don't care what engine or if it is an R models or not, these trucks should have larger then 20-gallon tanks. I am thinking 25-30 gal minimum on anything getting 20 mpg or less.

I think with the trucks physical size I am happy with where we are.
I am Really not wanting it to be F150 sized.

Cooled seats

Rear seat vents

I'd love a bigger fuel tank and a hybrid version (not plug in), of it's current engine to improve in town mpg and range.

Rear ac vents for sure.

Ventilated seats would be nice, but not necessary.

Otherwise, honestly I'm rather pleased with it.

Don't think it needs to be any bigger than it all ready is. If I wanted a f150, I'd bought one.

 

[Bt_okst]

Add too much and the price becomes too close to that of a f150 and makes the ranger even harder to sell. They won't be doing this as Ford all ready recognizes the braptor is priced too high and has killed its sales.

Can't just keep raising prices!!

There's just no good marketing space between the Ranger Raptor and the F150 Raptor to fit a Ranger Raptor R because if you make it bigger or more powerful, then you lose the reason to stay with a Ranger and might as well get an F150. Can't use the 3.5L because you're encroaching on the F150's power. Can't widen it because you're encroaching on the F150's size. But without widening, the Coyote probably won't fit. Plus, anything you do is going to bring the price to within $8-10k of an F150 Raptor, and again, for the size, power, and price increase, you might as well buy an F150 Raptor at that point.

 

[Narwhal Truck Toppers]

Perhaps I am way off here and not the "typical" consumer.

For my purchasing decision, I was set on a mid-size truck, My f150 Raptor was way too wide for the majority of trail systems near me in Colorado. Increasing the width of the Ranger Raptor by 2-3 inches does not make it an F150 Raptor.

Sure, there is a balance of price and you can't make a Ranger that costs more than an F150 Raptor R. However, regardless of cost, I need a midsize truck so I am comparing the Ranger Raptor against the TRD Pro, ZR2, and AT4X, etc. I would be a buyer willing to purchase the "ultimate" mid-size truck but I do not have any interest in the full-size segment regardless of performance.

I imagine I'm not the only one but as for how many people would want a truck built to that spec, I guess that is something Ford will have to figure out. I'm hopeful.

 

[Critical Habitat]

I'd like to see a supercharger using the twin-turbos to feed it (twin-charging). More HP, consistent torgue on low and high ends, and may even improve fuel economy. Likely more maintenance and heat removal concerns, though.
I'm too cheap to risk doing anything not covered by warranty to improve performance on a newer vehicle.

 

[millertime496]

IMO they should have ventilated seats in all Rangers trims Lariat and above, but especially in a theoretical RRR. I'd like to see a more aggressive front bumper with provisions for a winch on top of what was already mentioned

Im still pissed about this. Probably attempt to solve that oversight from ford,. next winter.
