Ever wanted to beef up your Ranger Raptor to new heights? Well, Ford, in collaboration with Australian off-road accessory specialist ARB, has developed a new special-edition package for you to do just that. Only 500 of these kits will be available…and exclusive to 2026-model-year Ranger Raptors.
Inspired by the Raptor off-road racer that claimed victory at the Finke Desert Race, the Desert Pack includes a quartet of roof bar-mounted ARB Narcho Quatro spotlights, an ARB styling bar, a unique ‘Desert Pack’ decal, and fore and aft Ford Performance all-weather floor mats.
“The Desert Pack celebrates that racing heritage while delivering the authentic off-road enhancements that our most enthusiastic customers have been asking for,” said Ford Australia Marketing Director Ambrose Henderson. “By partnering with ARB, we’re bringing that same spirit of extreme performance to customers who demand that little bit extra capability and style from their Raptor.”
Available for the Australian market, the Desert Pack is priced at $5 990, which, at the current Rand-Australian Dollar exchange rate, translates to R67 740.79. Whether this package will make its way to South Africa remains unconfirmed, however.
