Who wants that? I'm happy with my Gladiator... I don't plan on blasting across a desert.

The 3.0 was massively detuned in this, 288 hp, 360 torque or so, not exactly huge numbers honestly.

Hopefully the jeep 3.0 puts out better numbers, although maybe it's better if it doesn't so I don't trade mine in.

Isn't the Ranger Raptor Europe only? I'll stick with my Gladiator, but I wish they would bring this thing stateside.

They are claiming the twin-turbo global version will have 392 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, and the US version will be similar.

A lot of people will want it, for sure. I won't be able to afford one, so I won't be ordering one if it existed...maybe.

According to Ford it will only be getting 288hp

Those ratings are in EEC
"In the U.S. we use the English system of units for things like length, volume, and horsepower. Think foot, cubic inch, etc. In Europe it's the metric system—centimeter and liter. The English unit for power is horsepower, or hp. The metric equivalent to horsepower is PS (for Pferdestärke, which is German for "horsepower"). Because we define units differently, one PS does not equal one hp. One hp describes about 1.4 percent more power than one PS (PS x 0.9863 = hp)."- Car and Driver

288 x 1.4 = 403.2

288 x 1.4 = 403.2

That would sound about correct for a boosted v6... when I had my Canyon, I was looking into a Mallett supercharger, which would have put just over 400 to the tires.

288 x 1.4 = 403.2

Those figures are incorrect. The ratio is 1.04 not 1.4.

not to mention you are supposed to multiply PS by 0.986 not by 1.4. This results in 288 x 0.986 = 284

Nope .no thanks , No fords for me

I'd be happy with a Hemi Gladiator.

Hey, if you want a Raptor you can buy the Raptor!

Do I think Jeep needs a turbo-6 option? Yes. Do I think Jeep needs to compete with a Raptor Ranger? Absolutely not.

 

[j.o.y.ride]

My guess is start at $60k. XLT trim of F150:Ranger is $8k more on F150. F150 Raptor starts at $68k and goes way north. Given where the Mojave and Rubicon are, $60k feels right. Maybe a bit less to be in the 50s, say 57k. But it's going to start high and go way high.

Would just go get the F150 at that point.

Car and Driver confirmed those numbers are the EU version and the US is supposed to get the 392hp / 430lbs version.

For the "c'mon Jeep!" message - isn't that what the Gladiator Rubicon 392 is for??

(don't think it's a coincidence that Ford is rating the Ranger Raptor at "392hp" by the way...)
