While American customers have been crying out for a Ranger Raptor, Ford hasn’t introduced one to the U.S. Many tuners have stepped in to upgrade the standard model, and one of them is Roush.
With the 2021 Ranger, Roush’s approach isn’t about chasing big power numbers like they do with their Mustangs, so don’t expect insane figures.

What you get is a dual-tip cat-back exhaust system turned out from stainless steel, which is said to increase horsepower and add a touch of aggression to the exhaust note. The Roush Ranger sits a further two inches higher than the standard truck and uses a co-branded set of Roush/Fox 2.0 coilover shocks with Ranger-specific valving.
Visual enhancements are subtle but nonetheless present. They include the signature Roush grille with integrated LED lighting, proudly proclaiming what you have to all and sundry. A new graphics package does much the same, with custom red tow-hooks and fender vents.

Wheels and tires are upgraded too, with Roush 18-inch rims wrapped in massive 32-inch General Tire Grabber A/TX all-terrain tires tucked under beefier fender flares finished n Magnetic Gray.
The Roush Ranger’s interior features customized leather seats with embroidered headrests, a Roush gauge cluster, and serialized badging. Easily-removable Roush-branded WeatherTech floor liners finish off the interior additions.
Owners can further upgrade the Roush Ranger with a Roush Chase Rack, which features dual Rigid light bars. Also on offer is an off-road utility kit, locking vault for the center console and rear seats, and various graphic package upgrades.
“The Ranger has quickly become one of the most popular mid-sized trucks on the market,” says Jack Roush Jr. “We’ve expanded upon the truck’s already good capabilities, enhancing its looks and equipping it to perform better on nearly any terrain.”
The Roush package will set you back $12,750 over the standard truck, can be added to any 2.3-liter EcoBoost-powered Ranger and comes with a 3-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty.
