The new Ford Ranger Raptor - Robust underride protection
Quelle: AutoMotoTV (Glomex)
In addition to the high-performance chassis, the Ranger Raptor benefits from its standard robust underride protection when used off-road. The front protective plate is almost twice as large as in other model variants of the new Ranger generation. It consists of 2.3 millimeter thick, high-strength steel and protects important components such as the radiator, steering, front cross member and engine oil pan as well as the front differential from damage in rugged terrain. The engine and transfer case are also protected against ground contact with special plates. Redesigned to emphasize confidence and toughness, the new Ranger Raptor's design matches its outstanding off-road capabilities. Flared wheel arches and the C-shaped light signature on the distinctive front underline the vehicle's width. The massive F-O-R-D letter sequence in the radiator grille and the robust, separately designed bumper also have a muscular effect. Standard LED matrix headlights and LED daytime running lights achieve a light output that has not been achieved before. The main headlights are also characterized by predictive cornering lights, glare-free high beam and dynamic height adjustment. Massive 17-inch wheels are emblazoned under the fenders. 285/70 R17 all-terrain tires from the performance segment, which are reserved exclusively for the Raptor, ensure safe contact with the road. Functional air intakes, effective aerodynamic details and two powerful, non-slip tread strips made of cast aluminum that are integrated into the rear bumper all contribute to the striking appearance. At the rear, striking LED taillights create the stylistic connection to the front end. The standard hitch is mounted in such a way that it does not adversely affect the rear departure angle
