2024 Ford Ranger Raptor in Action at the Detroit Auto Show

[Dragoon]

Our first trip to Detroit this year was to see the North American debut of this vehicle, the 2024 Ford Ranger, and we were most excited to see the Raptor variant. Now, at the 2023 North American International Auto Show, we were given our first opportunity to experience it in motion. Here's looking to our first chance to take it out to Barnwell to test!
