Ford Philippines has taken center stage at the Philippine International Motor Show this year with a big new model: the V6-powered Ranger Raptor.
Aesthetically, it looks exactly the same as the bi-turbo diesel-powered version of the truck. No exterior or interior changes whatsoever. Under the hood is where you’ll find the good stuff—the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that pushes out 392hp and 583Nm. This is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
