2019 Ford Ranger Raptor Bi-Turbo Engine & Powertrain

The Ranger Raptor powertrain features cutting edge technology to offer more power and torque, better fuel economy, less weight and with off-road specific calibrations for engine, transmission, driveline, steering, brakes and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

In a revolutionary move to deliver incredible performance and responsiveness, a 10-Speed transmission is combined with a new 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo diesel engine in the Ranger Raptor to deliver a maximum of 213PS (157kW) of power and 500Nm of torque.

Ford engineers have tested the new powertrain extensively in order to prove out durability.

This testing includes running a ‘thermo cycle’ on the engine, heating both turbos to the point of glowing red for 200 hundred hours non-stop. It can withstand this torture thanks to the turbo bearings and low-pressure (LP) turbo being water cooled to reduce temperature, avoid over-heating and protect the air induction components.

Working as a team, the smaller, high-pressure (HP) turbo is connected in a sequence to the larger, LP turbo and is controlled with by-pass valves that determine the operating mode depending on engine speed. At lower engine speeds, the two turbos work in series, enhancing torque and responsiveness, while at higher engine speeds, the small HP turbo is bypassed, and the higher LP turbo provides boost to deliver more power.

The Ford-designed and Ford-built 10-speed automatic transmission is shared with the F-150 Raptor and has been created with high-strength steel, aluminium alloys and composites to optimize durability and weight. Having 10 gears means a wider ratio-span resulting in better acceleration and responsiveness. With more room to optimize gear spacing, engineers could customize gear progression far more efficiently than before, providing more accurate – and quicker – upshift and downshift capability.

The all-new electronic system features real-time adaptive shift-scheduling algorithms engineered to help ensure the right gear is selected at the right time. A unique transmission calibration also includes a ‘Live in Drive’ function, meaning that the paddle shifters are always available for manual gear selection override.

IMHO, It be nice if the Raptor could receive the 7.0 litter V8, and the new Ranger Raptor could receive the current Raptors Eco Boost V6. It be epic! But that's just my opinion...………………….

[rosslarkin]

They didn't talk about the transfer case

[tempestv]

Which Ford factory does this bi turbo 4 cylinder diesel engine for Australia sourced from? Is it the Ford Dagenham UK factory or the Ford Struandale South Africa factory?

[youngboy]

Bring back the 3.2 liter engine or use the v6 f-150 engine!

[langamaope]

Great car shame about the engine. I applaud Ford for their efforts for clean engines, but in the long run and what is required of this type of vehicle, the engine is just too small and over stressed. Perhaps Ford you should focus more on improving V6 engines and V8 engines because you just can't beat those and that's what the people wan't.

I wish they would bring back the manual for everyone thats not American

[JasonEller]

And yet the USA market can't sell it.

[lambertosaga]

How's the emmission ? , is it EU4 , EU5, EU6 ! Pls classify . . .

[franciscotavarez]

You think its better than hil lux y frontier, , wat you tink

[mariorabottini]

Raptor...! They should call it the snail

[hugoarcada]

157 kW? Way to drop the ball Ford. Is that a joke?

[oceancity]

CEL- check engine light





😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂

[antjoshwww]

Breaks down every thousand km. Buy Toyota saves a lot of money and misery

[amoj]

Why not the 2.3 EcoBoost of the Mustang rather than this, its underpowered wack engine IMO.

[krigerx.]

You are better off buying the Nissan Navara(Frontier) NP300 rather than this new ford ranger raptor

[bitzel]

Engine is an embarrassment to the raptor name

Transit delivery van 4 cylinder gutless shit engine. 0~100 over 10 seconds, POS and not fit for purpose in Raptor. Dont give a shit about a couple of puny hairdryers hanging of this stinky low capacity bread delivery van engine.
