Hennessey Performance Mods Upcoming 2019 Ranger

Baby VelociRaptor

If you know Hennessey, you know they don't mess around with their performance mods.  You may recognize the VelociRaptor name from the super-tuned F-150 that swapped its EcoBoost V6 for Ford's 5.0-liter V8 using a 2.9-liter supercharger, producing a whopping 758 horsepower!  With the 2019 Ford Ranger making its way onto American roads, Hennessey is already set to provide it the same VelociRaptor treatment.  Find out what Hennessey has in store for the VelociRaptor Ranger...

Super Boost

While VelociRaptor Ranger doesn't get an engine swap like its F-150 cousin, the Hennessey performance enhancements to the stock 2.3-liter EcoBoost motor are sure to motivate the midsize pickup to a level liken to the Focus RS.

The Mods

According to Hennessey, the VelociRaptor Ranger gets better air flow through a less restrictive and better sounding stainless steel Catback exhaust system and ECU tuning for increased boost.

Off-road

With its increased power and acceleration comes increased off-road capability.  HPE upgraded the VelociRaptor Ranger with their Stage 1 off-road suspension upgrade, lifting the pickups ride height four inches. VelociRaptor Ranger also gets Hennessey 18-inch alloy wheels and upgraded BFG Mud Terrain TA KM2 tires, adding another two inches to the pickups overall height, making the Hennessey VelociRaptor Ranger nearly six inches taller than the stock Ranger.  VelociRaptor Ranger also comes with an upgraded front bumper with LED lights and optional winch.
