The 2019 Ford Ranger's stock 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is perfectly competitive with its 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. But let's face it, more is almost always more fun, and Hennessey Performance plans to deliver more to Ranger owners. Ford's smaller pickup gets a little VelociRaptor all its own.
The Ranger VelociRaptor upgrade kit will boost the Ranger to 350 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque — that's as much power as a Focus RS but 35 more pound-feet of twist. That will decrease the truck's 0-to-60 time to 6.1 seconds, a 1.3-second improvement over the stock Ranger.
According to Hennessey's website, the power upgrades are fairly simple. They include a high-flow intake, cat-back exhaust, and some engine computer tuning. Frankly, it sounds like a great way to create the Ranger ST I've been dreaming of. Of course, this will come with Hennessey badges and stickers instead.
The performance package can also be combined with a set of off-road upgrades that come with custom off-road bumpers, LED auxiliary lights, a winch, fender flares, 17-inch wheels, 33-inch tires and Hennessey's Stage 1 off-road suspension kit that will lift the truck by 4 inches. It's not quite Ranger Raptor off-road equipment, but with the power upgrades, it sure will be faster in a straight-line than the diesel-powered overseas pickup.
The Hennessey Ranger VelociRaptor costs $64,950 including a new 2019 Ranger truck. Cost for the VelociRaptor upgrade alone is $19,950, plus vehicle shipping. Production is limited to 500 trucks for 2019. The packages will be covered by the same 3-year/36,000-mile warranty that Hennessey includes on many of its upgrades.
