Adjust the exhaust tone with settings that range from subdued to raucous

-




- The 2.5-inch active valve exhaust system on the next-generation 292kW V6 Ranger Raptor lets owners choose the exhaust sound they want.


- Set your next-generation Ranger Raptor to start up in quiet mode to keep your neighbours happy.





The next-generation Ranger Raptor is not only made to rule the deserts and mountains, but it also has a new active valve twin exhaust system, four drive modes, and a Quiet mode for early morning starts on the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 model.


The noise from the next-generation Ranger Raptor's powerful 292kW 3.0L twin-turbo V6 will be controlled by an active exhaust system that opens valves like a saxophone or a large pipe organ to change the sound of the car based on how the driver feels.


"For the next Ranger Raptor, Ford wanted to really bring out the car's personality. We wanted to highlight the power and presence of the car without making it too hard to drive when it didn't have to be Ford design team Ford design engineers spent hundreds of hours tuning and developing the sound of the vehicle, Ford have something that sounds right for this performance bakkie. 


The driver can choose how the system works by pressing the "Exhaust Mode" button, or it can work automatically based on the drive mode they choose: Quiet, Normal, Sport, or Baja.




Keep it quiet


Customers love the powerful sound that performance cars like the next-generation Ranger Raptor make when they rev their engines. And while that thrilling sound is fine on the highway or out in the middle of nowhere, it is not so great in your neighbourhood, especially early in the morning or late at night.



By choosing Quiet mode, owners can minimise the sound of the exhaust. Even better, the next-generation Ranger Raptor lets owners schedule "quiet start," which lets them set Ranger Raptor to always start in Quiet mode or set a quiet time (with start and end times) to keep their neighbours happy.


Ford Ranger Raptor: Manual control


All you have to do to change the exhaust sound is press the button on the steering wheel that looks like an exhaust pipe. The first time you press the button, a pop-up message about the selected mode appears on the digital instrument cluster. The second time you press the button, you can change the selected exhaust mode.



Ford Ranger Raptor Modes:


Quiet: This is the quietest setting for any kind of driving.



Normal – The default setting gives the right amount of comfort and feedback. This is how Normal, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl drive modes work by default.


Sport: Slightly louder than usual for driving with more speed.



Maximum exhaust noise under all driving conditions. (Baja mode is only meant to be used off-road)






From computer modelling to making physical prototypes, the goal was to come up with a unique engine sound that will make people's hair stand up when they hear it. Before you see it, Ford wants you to know that it's a Ranger Raptor driving down the road."
