Ford Unveils Power Boost for Ranger and Bronco Raptors

In the world of off-road performance, Ford continues to push the limits with exciting upgrades for its Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor models. The latest development? A powerful software calibration for the 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine, courtesy of Ford Performance Parts, designed to enhance low-end torque and horsepower. This upgrade gives Raptor owners more muscle where it counts, improving both driving excitement and capability in rugged terrains. 

Ford’s engineers have been working diligently to deliver a remarkable increase in performance for both the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor. The Ranger Raptor sees a significant boost in power, with torque increasing from an already strong 430 lb.-ft. to an impressive 536 lb.-ft. Additionally, horsepower jumps from 405 to 455. These enhancements make the Ranger Raptor even more capable, allowing it to tackle tougher off-road conditions with ease and confidence.

The Bronco Raptor experiences an equally notable upgrade. Its torque climbs from 440 lb.-ft. to 536 lb.-ft., while horsepower rises from 418 to 455. These improvements translate to faster acceleration and superior off-road performance, making the Bronco Raptor more adept at conquering the most challenging terrains.

The upgraded software calibration, which is available for the 2024 Ranger Raptor and 2022-2024 Bronco Raptors, optimizes throttle response and refines the shift schedule. This means drivers can enjoy quicker, smoother transitions between gears, delivering a more thrilling driving experience both on and off the road.

For Raptor owners eager to get their hands on this performance boost, the price of the software calibration is set at $825. But it’s not just about the price tag — Ford also makes the deal sweeter by allowing customers to purchase the upgrade using Ford Pass Rewards points, making the upgrade more accessible for loyal Ford drivers.

One of the best parts about this upgrade is that it doesn’t just give you extra power — it also maintains the durability standards that Ford is known for. The calibration has been rigorously tested to ensure it can handle extreme conditions while meeting Ford’s reliability benchmarks. Plus, it’s covered under Ford’s three-year, 36,000-mile Ford Performance parts warranty, so Raptor owners can rest assured their investment is protected.

The calibration can be easily purchased online through Ford’s performance parts website and installed at any local Ford dealership.

For those planning to attend the Raptor Rally this year, there’s even more incentive to take advantage of this performance upgrade. The rally, happening near the Ford Performance Racing School in Fairfield, Utah, on September 21, is a one-day event exclusively for Raptor owners and fans. 

This exclusive discount makes it an attractive option for Raptor enthusiasts to upgrade their ride while also enjoying an unforgettable day of off-road adventures.

For those lucky enough to attend the Raptor Rally, a day full of adrenaline-pumping activities awaits. The $500 entry fee covers one vehicle, the owner, and a guest, and includes a variety of off-road experiences, from trail rides to hot laps. Additionally, attendees will participate in expert workshops, meet pro off-road racers, and get the chance to take home exclusive Ford giveaways.

It’s not all just about driving, either. The event offers Ford news, giveaways, and even meals to ensure that all guests have a full and enjoyable experience. Attendees will be surrounded by like-minded off-road enthusiasts, learning tips and tricks to get the most out of their vehicles while bonding with the larger Raptor community.

What sets Ford’s performance upgrades apart from third-party options is the rigorous testing and durability standards behind every calibration. Ford Performance ensures that these calibrations meet the same benchmarks as the factory-installed parts. This means Raptor owners can enjoy significant performance gains without sacrificing vehicle longevity or warranty coverage.
