Ford showcases its ultimate performance truck yet
Meet the Next-Generation Ford Ranger Raptor!
Ford Philippines has just unveiled the Next-Generation Ford Ranger Raptor, taking off-road capability to the next level.
The pickup truck was built for true enthusiasts and was designed and engineered by Ford Performance. New upgrades present a reliable, powerful, and efficient powertrain accompanied by smart technologies and advanced safety features.
Efficient powertrain
The Next-Gen Raptor prides itself on a full-time 4-wheel drive system with the option to switch to rear-wheel drive, along with a rear locking differential, underbody protection, and aggressive approach and departure angles.
It’s equipped with 2.5-inch FOX shocks with position-sensitive damping technology that provides higher damping forces at full jounce and rebound to enable better off-road capabilities. Wheel travel is also increased along with outstanding bump absorption to deliver supreme stability and comfort on all terrains.
Moreover, it’s equipped with a Trail Control System made for off-road. Speed can be set to control the throttle and braking functions so that drivers can concentrate entirely on steering through challenging terrains — rocky trails, muddy tracks, and steep inclines included.
The Next-Gen Raptor has a 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine mated with the 10-speed automatic transmission with e-Shifter, producing 210PS max power and 500Nm max torque. It’s equipped with seven driving modes (Normal, Sport, Slippery, Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, Sand, and Baja), which are calibrated to have an effect on all aspects of the vehicle: traction control, engine, transmission calibration, and more.
Designed with purpose
All this power is housed inside a bold and aggressive exterior. The Next-Gen Raptor’s exterior is cut from its first generation, showcasing the Ford DNA through a tough, athletic look. Its bold stance evokes power and strength through its increased track and flared wheel arches.
It has an attention-grabbing front with its unmistakable Ford look on its Matrix headlights with C-clamp daytime running lights and bigger FORD lettering. Furthermore, its 17-inch alloy wheels with BF Goodrich K02 high performance make it muscular. The all-terrain tires are designed for aggressive traction for on and off-road adventures.
Like its exteriors, the interiors of the Next-Gen Raptor were designed with a purpose. It has a sports steering wheel with a centered Raptor logo, durable materials all throughout, and Code Orange stitching on the instrument panel, trim, and seats that get cozier when the Raptor’s ambient lighting is turned on at night.
The cabin also features jet fighter-inspired sports seats both in the front and rear with prominent bolstering making the ride comfortable and supportive.
Technology all-over
Like other Next-Gen Ford vehicles, the new Raptor prides itself on seamless integration and enhanced functionality. It has a large, 12-inch digital instrumental cluster exhibiting speedometer, tachometer, animated drive mode selection, and gauges.
There’s also a 12-inch portrait touchscreen center display utilizing Ford’s cutting-edge SYNC4A system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities.
The Next-Gen Raptor is also equipped with advanced safety technology such as a 360-degree camera with a Split-View display, Active Park Assist 2.0, Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Assist with Forward Collision Warning, Evastive Steer Assist, Reverse Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Auto High Beam, Post Impact Braking, Blind Spot Information System, and more.
It’s also equipped with FordPass, enabling remote features using only a smartphone.
Price and availability
The Next-Gen Raptor is now available across Ford dealers nationwide with a starting price of PhP 2,339,000. It comes with a 5-year warranty, and will be available in five colors: Arctic White, Absolute Black, Blue Lightning, Conquer Grey, and Code Orange (additional PhP 15,000).
It’s available for reservation on Ford’s Online Reservation Portal. For more info, click here.

ACMobility launches EV safety program to help drivers make the switch
The new “Drive Electric” curriculum covers everything from charging safety to actual EV ownership costs.
ACMobility, the Ayala Group’s mobility arm, launched its “Drive Electric. EV Safety Program,” and it’s aimed at pretty much anyone curious about EVs.
That means advocates, people thinking about buying one, fleet operators, and just regular folks who want to understand what they’re getting into.
The goal is straightforward: clear up the misconceptions around EVs by giving people practical, easy-to-follow information on how the technology and charging infrastructure actually work.
The program covers safety guidelines, the real costs of ownership, and how charging works, so people can decide for themselves if going electric makes sense for them.
At the launch, ACMobility CEO Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala talked about the bigger picture, saying the company’s priority is to empower drivers to shift to a more sustainable and cost-effective transport option.
He framed the program as part of that commitment, aiming to give drivers practical tools and accessible technical knowledge on EVs.
Building the curriculum with actual experts
ACMobility didn’t build this alone. The program came together with professional instruction partners and close coordination with the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Fire Protection, the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines, and the Philippine EV Community.
The curriculum runs five modules deep, and it tackles the questions people actually ask before buying an EV: what it really costs to own one long-term, how much you can save, how to charge safely, what to do in an emergency, and how the technology itself works.
What comes after the launch
ACMobility says this is just the start. The company plans to roll out educational seminars nationwide for drivers looking to make the switch, expanding into corporate sessions, community workshops, and showcases at bigger industry events.
Future sessions will pair the technical side with actual test drives, so people get hands-on time with EVs alongside the expert guidance.

Ford’s new Everest lineup brings V6 engine to the top, tech down the line
A new V6-powered Platinum flagship leads the range, while driver-assist tech spreads further down to the Sport and Active.
Modern mobility is no longer defined strictly by mechanical horsepower. Instead, intelligent software, sensor suites, and connected interfaces shape how we move through the world.
Ford Philippines is recalibrating the Everest lineup for 2027, putting advanced vehicle technology at the heart of the daily commute and weekend escapes.
Intelligence at the Core
The most significant shift happens inside the cabin, where driver-assist features transition from luxury upgrades to non-negotiable standards.
The Active trim redefines entry-level technology by embedding Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Forward Collision Warning into the baseline drive for PhP 1,949,000.
Combined with a central 12-inch infotainment screen, dual-zone climate control, and rain-sensing wipers, the system processes environment data continuously to protect passengers before a driver even reacts.
Stepping up to the Sport trim at PhP 2,219,000 expands this digital protective bubble. Here, the 12-inch ecosystem integrates Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Centering, and a 360-degree camera system.
Blind Spot Information with Cross-Traffic Alert and automatic braking turns tight urban parking and congested highway navigation into effortless single-button maneuvers.
Power engineered for precision
At the top of the technical spectrum sits the new V6 Platinum flagship, priced at PhP 2,849,000.
Its 3.0-liter Turbo Diesel V6 engine generates 250PS and 600Nm of torque, governed by an intelligent full-time four-wheel-drive system that actively routes traction across variable terrain.
Matrix LED headlamps adapt lighting patterns dynamically to prevent glare for oncoming traffic while maximizing peripheral visibility.
Inside, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, 10-way power memory seats, and active heating and ventilation create a high-tech sanctuary on wheels.
Refined aesthetics and ecosystem support
The design-focused Wildtrak trim continues to pair its proven 2.0-liter Turbo 4×4 platform with updated visual cues at PhP 2,669,000. Featuring 20-inch alloy wheels and Ignite Orange accents, it bridges functional hardware with distinctive styling.
Reservations across all four variants is now open nationwide. To back its hardware and digital infrastructure, Ford includes its 5-Star Care Package through September 30, providing five years of warranty, scheduled maintenance, and roadside assistance.
Coupled with the Ford Family Guarantee digital service platforms, the refresh ensures the technology on board remains supported long after you leave the showroom floor.
