Two weeks ago, Ford announced that the Ford Ranger Raptor 2018 would hit Asia-Pacific next year. However, no official announcement yet on whether or not the Philippines will be among the next destinations for the all-new Ford pick-up truck.
Guys, we’ve been waiting this moment all year long. Well, brace yourself, the highly-tuned pickup will make its debut in the Philippines in late 2018.
According to newly-appointed Managing Director of Ford Philippines Bertrand Lessard, their brand-new high-performance pickup will be seeing daylight in the Philippines’ roads sometime in the near future, likely late 2018 or early 2019. The Blue Oval brand added that Filipino Ranger Raptor fans should wait for an official announcement with regard to the Ford Ranger Raptor 2018’s inner workings. However, rumor has it that the new and distinctive truck will be a mix of Ranger versatility and Raptor ability and come with a beefed-up suspension system and engine.

Accurate information about its powertrains remains a mystery though it may well likely be powered by an EcoBoost engine paired with the advanced 10-speed automatic transmission.
