You have five colors to choose from.

To further highlight the rugged aesthetics of the midsize truck, choosing the body color option that best suits you personally should be considered as well. Ford Philippines is offering five paint finishes for the model, namely the True Red, Performance Blue, Conquer Grey, Absolute Black, and Arctic White.

So without further ado, let’s try to compare each of the color options available in the Philippine market. Of note, the following Ford Ranger Raptor colors may vary from the actual model. As such, use the following as a reference only. This could help you save time when visiting your preferred Ford dealership.

Trendy finish

To get that youthful, trendy, and bright look, there are three Ford Ranger Raptor colors you might want to consider. These three paint finishes are the Performance Blue, Absolute Black, and True Red. Many snazzy-looking colors come with an additional fee. Fortunately, all Ford Ranger Raptors colors don’t which can help you choose what you truly desire.

The Performance Blue probably is the color that is in your mind whenever you think of the Ford Ranger Raptor. Ford Philippines uses the Performance Blue in showcasing the rugged aesthetics of the truck. It is the most commonly used color in the nameplate including the previous generations of the standard Ford Ranger.

With that being said, the Performance Blue body color option is your go-to if you want to look original or classic. This paint finish will help your midsize pickup truck to drive through roads with an unmistakable Ranger appearance. Additionally, the interior is designed with blue stitching which should go well with the exterior if you go for the blue Ford Ranger Raptor.

On the other hand, if you want to come with a snazzy appearance without opting for the classic Performance Blue look, then maybe the True Red should be at the top of your list. Red is a top choice among car buyers due to the charm it adds to the finish of their car, and a red Ford Ranger Raptor is no exemption.

The Ford Ranger Raptor color in True Red creates a sporty appeal to the midsize pickup truck. Moreover, this body paint color accents the aggressive-looking black features around the vehicle that gives it its off-road look. Looking at this paint finish, it looks like it is ready to go on an adventure anytime and anywhere.

Lastly, the Ford Ranger Raptor color in Absolute Black is the go-to body color option for those who want an all-black finish. The aggressive pickup truck is designed with blacked-out exterior stylings such as the 17-inch alloy wheels, front bumper, large fenders, step boards, side mirrors, and rear bumper as standard.

Opting for the Absolute Black will help blend the paint to the said standard exterior features, hence the all-black finish. This is an ideal choice for those who tend to go out with an all-black outfit, or just someone who likes to look prestigious.

Since the Ford Ranger Raptor is a large vehicle, the Absolute Black will create this executive car look that you usually see in high-speed convoys of police units. Some would say that the black Ford Ranger Raptor looks bland as compared to other paint finishes. But beauty will always be subjective so if you fancy the Absolute Black, then this is not a bad choice at all.

Off-road action ready

Next up on the list is the Conquer Grey body color option. Just like what was said earlier, this is arguably the best color option if you want to go on off-roading frequently. The reason is that it tends to hide dust and dirt that you will accumulate while driving as compared to darker colors like the Absolute Black.

As the name suggests, the Ford Ranger Raptor in Conquer Grey sounds like it is up for any challenges on the road. Even if dirt and dust stick to the exterior, one can say that it will still look good as compared to the other body color options in the roster. The Conquer Grey sort of like sticks up for the dirty look.

With that being said, you can save some money in bringing your truck to the car wash to retain the appearance. Since Conquer Grey doesn’t look like it has a color anyway in the first place, then getting the need to clean your vehicle won’t come as frequently as when the vehicle is finished in Performance Blue, True Red, or Absolute Black.

Neat yet vicious truck

Lastly, your aggressive pickup truck can be finished with a clean finish with the Arctic White body color option. Sure, the Arctic White does come with a clean look. However, driving in the city might make you feel like the rest as most cars are finished in white. But if looking exclusive doesn’t matter to you, then Arctic White might be the one for you.

Despite being a simple color, the Ford Ranger Raptor in Arctic White is not a bad choice considering the white helps contrast the standard blacked-out exterior styling of the aggressive pickup truck. That said, the Arctic White will further enhance the aesthetics that you will only find in the Raptor.

Again, the five body color options don’t come with an additional cost so freely choose the one you wish. Repainting will cost you a lot of money so you better make up your mind. Ford Philippines is offering the Ford Ranger Raptor at a price tag point of Php 1,998,000 for the 2.0L Bi-Turbo Raptor 4x4 AT variant.
