Ford Confirms U.S.-Spec Ranger, Ranger Raptor Debut May 10

While those of us in the United States have been stuck with the aging P375-generation Ford Ranger, the truck’s successor is already on sale in several foreign markets. Ford is finally ready to stop withholding the updated mid-sizer from its fervent North American customers, confirming the U.S.-spec 2024 Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor will make their official debut on May 10th.

The news comes by way of a short teaser clip which first aired during NBC’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby. The clip itself doesn’t do a ton to highlight the design of the new truck, instead opting to focus on close-up details. We do get a short look at a (poorly lit) Raptor model on the sand, but there are few details in view. Considering this new truck debuted overseas back in 2021, that decision seems somewhat pointless. That said, fans can easily get an idea of what the new truck will look like by taking a peek at the Australian, European, or Mexican market Rangers already on sale. While the U.S.-spec trucks surely won’t carry the exact same specs or styling as its global market counterparts, the basic layout should remain unchanged. That means a more upright design, with a nod to the larger F-150 in its lighting elements and fascias.
