While most of us don’t get to drive at high speeds on public roads, that superior control afforded by the well-designed package and its quality components works equally as well when driving on any rough road, at any speed. The wider wheel track, aforementioned rear coil set-up and Fox coil-overs and BFG tyres deliver a package that eats up rough roads and tracks at high speeds.
This adjusts the vehicle’s electronic systems such as the stability and traction control calibration, throttle, ABS and transmission inputs, to best suit the way the car is being driven.Īs well as the regular Rock, Sand and Snow modes, the Raptor gets Baja mode, which winds everything up to 11 to let the driver have the most control and fun.įord Performance used its knowledge from developing the F150 Raptor in the USA when it worked with Fox Suspension and BFGoodrich, to develop the set-up for the Ranger.
