PH is one of Ford Ranger Raptor’s top export markets
Say all you want about the Ford Ranger and its high-performance Ranger Raptor variant, but that doesn’t change the fact that the midsize pickup truck remains a very popular staple of Philippine roads.
Ford Philippines has announced that the Philippines is one of the top three export markets of the Ranger Raptor, joining markets like Australia and South Africa, and proving how popular it really is among pickup truck buyers in the country.
The Ford Ranger Raptor is primarily built in the American automaker’s Ford Thailand Manufacturing (FTM) Plant in Rayong, Thailand where it is exported to 106 markets around the world. For North America, it is built at the brand’s Michigan Assembly Plant in the United States.
Since its inception in 2018, over 215,000 units of the performance-oriented midsize pickup truck have been produced across two generations. The first generation was produced from 2018 to 2022, while the second generation has been produced since 2022.
“The Ranger Raptor has completely redefined what a high-performance pickup can be, and its sustained demand in the country is a testament to its unmatched capabilities. This milestone shows that Filipino enthusiasts truly appreciate the world-class engineering and sheer capability that Ford Performance builds into every Raptor. It has transcended from being just a pickup truck and has become a lifestyle symbol and a badge of success for a rapidly growing community of proud owners across the country,” said Ford Philippines Managing Director Pedro Simões.
