There&rsquo;s a smaller truck from the blue oval brand that just might be perfect for you. Ford has reintroduced the Ranger earlier this year, giving consumers more reasons to own a truck. Unfortunately, it is still unclear whether Ford plans to bring the Ranger Raptor to US soil or not. But in case you&rsquo;re wondering if you can dial up Ford&rsquo;s small truck Ranger&rsquo;s level of excitement to the same one the F-150 Raptor gives, then wonder no more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a quick list of all the things you need to replace to make your Ford Ranger look like the F-150 Raptor. The parts you will see below doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean they are ready to install on your truck, but they&rsquo;re listed to give you an idea on how you can transform your Ranger to look like the F-150 Raptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1205 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ford-ranger.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1205\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ford-ranger.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ford-ranger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ford-ranger-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ford-ranger-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>With some replacements to install, you can transform your Ford Ranger to look like the F-150 Raptor.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Before anything else, the height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make your Ranger look like an F-150 Raptor, you must first address the suspension height issue. The Ford F-150 Raptor stands 9.8 inches from the ground due to the Fox Sports Suspension. The suspension comprises of a double wishbone front, with coil springs and leaf springs on the rear. This means that you need to lift your Ranger an additional 1.4 inches (0.9 inches if you have a 4&times;4 variant.). It also means that you need to swap the OE suspension to the same exact ones as with the F-150 Raptor. And since there&rsquo;s now the height, don&rsquo;t forget to install a pair of Raptor side step boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Work around your bumper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Ranger could never be an F-150 Raptor without the help of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/bumper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"bumper replacement\">bumper replacement<\/a>. The Ranger features a front bumper that spans from one side to the other. You want the three-sectioned off road bumpers which are standard on the F-150 Raptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You need a mean-looking bash plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes the F-150 Raptor look aggressive is a visibly huge bash plate. The Ranger doesn&rsquo;t have this, so you need to get yourself an aftermarket part. Install this bash plate along with your off-road bumper replacement and you&rsquo;re a little bit closer to achieving that F-150 Raptor look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1206 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-ford-grille.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1206\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-ford-grille.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-ford-grille-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-ford-grille-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-ford-grille-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>Get yourself an aftermarket huge bash plate to achieve that F-150 Raptor look.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Gotta have that Raptor grille with &lsquo;Ford&rsquo; on it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being Ford&rsquo;s small truck, the Ranger comes with a little grille with the blue oval brand sitting in the middle. You don&rsquo;t want this if your transforming it to an F-150 Raptor. What you need is a big octagonal, black grille with the Ford lettering spanning across the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Fender flares for that extra wide body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the F-150 Raptor is fitted with huge 12.4-inch wide tires, you&rsquo;ll need black fender flares. It goes well with the wheels, which is really fitting even for a small truck. You might find yourself doing multiple adjustments just to fit one along with your acquired Raptor front bumper, but that should all be worth it. If you&rsquo;re a stickler for details, the pair of front fender flares comes with a set of small amber indicator lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Raptor fender flares won&rsquo;t mean anything without a set of huge wheels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Ranger Lariat and F-150 Raptor have the same wheel size, you want to get that Raptor wheel design as well as the right wheel width measurement. Also, the tires; you&rsquo;ll need the LT315\/70SR17 to complete the towering stance of your Ranger, which is now almost like a small F-150 Raptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Tailgate needs that &lsquo;Ford&rsquo; lettering, too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&rsquo;t just want to transform the front but the rear as well. What you need is a more intricately-designed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tailgate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tailgate\">tailgate<\/a> with a black trim showcasing Ford&rsquo;s brand name on it because that&rsquo;s how the 2019 F-150 Raptor rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Dual exhaust kit to wrap it all up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing to do is to install a dual exhaust kit underneath your Ranger. This might require major adjustments under your car, but if you really want that Raptor look, you have to have the heart and dedication. A dual exhaust kit should cost you around $200 to $1,000, or even higher. The price depends on the make, type, and material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get these parts and watch your Ranger slowly transform into the Raptor right before your eyes. Things like the headlight, tail lamps, and dimensions are things you can&rsquo;t easily replace, but leaving them as is should be alright. Good luck on your modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1207 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-sual-exhaust-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1207\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-sual-exhaust-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-sual-exhaust-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/f150-raptor-sual-exhaust.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>Install a dual exhaust kit underneath your Ranger truck.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Don&rsquo;t be sad if you find the Ford F-150 Raptor&rsquo;s price a little too expensive.
