Ford Performance Prepares for Dakar Rally with Spectacular Ranger Raptor T1+

Ford Ranger Raptor T1+

Ford Performance is gearing up for the ultimate off-road challenge: the Dakar Rally. The team will compete in the 2024 Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia with a specially developed Ford Ranger Raptor T1+ that promises to deliver outstanding performance and durability.

The Ford Ranger Raptor T1+ is based on the production version of the Ford Ranger Raptor, Ford's high-performance pickup truck that combines a powerful engine, a robust chassis, and a sophisticated suspension system. The Ranger Raptor T1+ takes these attributes to the next level with extensive modifications to meet the demands of the Dakar Rally.

The Ford Ranger Raptor T1+ features a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that produces over 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system with a locking rear differential. The vehicle also has a custom-built roll cage, a reinforced body, and a racing fuel cell.

The suspension system of the Ranger Raptor T1+ has been upgraded with Fox racing shocks, Eibach springs, and Brembo brakes. The vehicle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires that can handle any terrain. The Ranger Raptor T1+ also has a sophisticated navigation system, a digital instrument cluster, and a Sparco racing seat.

The Ranger Raptor T1+ will make its debut at the Dakar Rally, where it will face tough competition from other manufacturers and private teams. The race will cover over 5,000 miles across Saudi Arabia, with stages ranging from sand dunes to rocky mountains. The Ranger Raptor T1+ will be driven by experienced rally drivers Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel, who have won the Dakar Rally three times.

Ford Performance is confident that the Ranger Raptor T1+ will showcase the capabilities and potential of the Ranger Raptor, which is available in Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.

Ford Performance hopes that by participating in the race with the Ranger Raptor T1+, it will demonstrate its commitment to innovation, excellence, and customer satisfaction.
