Raptor specs at camp

A camping post about a Ford Ranger Raptor turned into a spec sheet for one of Australia’s priciest off-road utes. (x.com) The numbers in the post match the Australian-market Ranger Raptor: a 3.0-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 making 292 kilowatts and 583 Newton-metres through a 10-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. (carexpert.com.au) Ford’s Australian site lists the same truck with 2,500-kilogram braked towing, 850-millimetre water wading and 272 millimetres of ground clearance. Those are the figures overland and camping buyers usually look at before payload, fuel range and tire choice. (ford.com.au) The price point implied in the post also lines up with the market. CarExpert lists the 2025 Ranger Raptor at A$90,690 before on-road costs, while Ford Australia says drive-away pricing varies by postcode, dealer delivery and registration charges. (carexpert.com.au) (ford.com.au) That matters because the Ranger Raptor sits in a narrow slice of the pickup market: factory-built for high-speed off-road use, but still sold as a five-seat dual-cab with towing and touring duties. Ford pairs the V6 with FOX 2.5-inch Live Valve internal-bypass shocks, hardware aimed more at rough tracks than maximum payload. (ford.com.au) (carsguide.com.au) That trade-off shows up in the carrying numbers. Drive lists payload at 620 kilograms for the 2025 Ranger Raptor, well below many work-focused diesel utes, even as towing remains capped at 2,500 kilograms. (drive.com.au) Fuel is part of the equation too. Ford dealers note the headline 292-kilowatt and 583-Newton-metre outputs require 98 RON premium petrol, and CarExpert lists combined consumption at 11.5 litres per 100 kilometres with an 80-litre tank. (frankstonford.com.au) (carexpert.com.au) So the camping clip is less a mystery build than a recognizable formula: a factory Ranger Raptor with the V6, 10-speed and off-road chassis Ford has been selling in Australia, at roughly A$90,000 before on-road costs.
