Partnership with Ford and ARB births 500 exclusive Ranger Raptor Desert models sporting decal pack and sports bar
The Ford Ranger Raptor just got even tougher.
Limited to 500 units, the Ranger Raptor Desert Pack is developed in collaboration with aftermarket specialist ARB and Ford Australia.
“The Desert Pack celebrates [the Ranger Raptor’s] racing heritage while delivering authentic off-road enhancements that our most enthusiastic customers have been asking for,” said Blue Oval marketing director Ambrose Henderson.
Available for an additional $5990, the Desert Pack brings the entry price of a Ranger Raptor to a staggering $96,680, before on-road costs. It includes an ARB sports bar, four ARB ‘Nacho Quatro’ driving lights mounted to a bespoke roof bar, and ‘all weather’ floor mats.
The Ranger Raptor Desert Pack also brings an option-specific decal pack, which rounds out what Ford calls a ‘trophy truck inspired’ look.
Note that Ford’s Desert Pack has made no changes to the suspension, engine, or tyres of the Ranger Raptor, nor does it include additional underbody or driveline protection.
Closest rivals to the specced-up Ranger Raptor with Desert Pack include, but are not limited to,the $74,310 Toyota Hilux GR Sport, $73,000 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain, and new-kid $74,990 Kia Tasman X-Pro. Prices shown are before on-road costs.
Ranger owners who wish to option either the ARB sports bar or driving lights to their vehicle will have the ability to do so through their Ford dealer. Both ARB options will become available once the 500 Desert Packs have sold.
Ford has advised that Desert Pack optioned Ranger Raptor models are available to order now for MY26, with deliveries expected to commence in coming months. These models will lose the standard Raptor’s powered roller shutter tub cover due to compatibility issues.
