You Can Now Buy Your (Unofficial) Ford Ranger Raptor In The U.S., Thanks To This Tuning Company

As of yet, Ford wonโ€™t sell an official Ranger Raptor in the U.S., butย this Texas tuning companyย has a solution for you. Even better, the truck will be on display at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.ย PaxPower, the same company behind theย 5.0-liter V8 F-150 Raptor conversion, can make your Ranger look and drive like the real deal. It wonโ€™t have the 2.0-liter diesel engine with 210 horsepower that other global markets get, but it will have a more powerful version of the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost. Hereโ€™s the bad news (as if you arenโ€™t already bracing for it) โ€” The conversion isnโ€™t cheap.

For $65,000 (the price does include the truck), you can get your very own Ford Ranger Raptor. PaxPower takes a standard Ranger Lariat FX4 and sets to work beefing everything up. To that end, the engine has 350 horsepower thanks to a performance SCT tune.

From there, PaxPower also used a BajaKits Prerunner long-travel suspension kit. That widens the track by 5 inches by way of longer, more durable upper and lower control arms, and that also improves suspension travel. King 2.5-inch adjustable front coilovers and rear shocks replace the standard setup in the FX4. On the off-road performance front, PaxPower fits Icon 17-inch wheels and Toyo R/T tires.

To make it look more like a Raptor, PaxPower brings in the OEM parts from Ford. That includes the Euro-spec grille, fender flares, bedsides, tailgate, taillights and Raptor decals on the bed. To that, they fit Addictive Desert Designs Stealth Fighter bumpers and an LED bar up front. Itโ€™s an expensive transformation, but in the end youโ€™re more or less getting a truck you wonโ€™t be able to buy through your Ford dealer anytime soon.

What do you think? Is $65,000 way too much for this sort of conversion? Would you get this, or step up to a factory F-150 Raptor? Let us know what you think in the comments below and stay tuned for more from the 2019 SEMA Show coming soon!
