The New Ranger Raptor offers a new traction system with better performance, safety and individual control of each wheel, to overcome any challenge and maintain control of the vehicle even in the most extreme conditions, being able to select between 4 modes:
• 4×2 (2H): Sends power to the rear wheels only and is recommended for street and highway driving.
• 4×4 high (4H): Provides power to all four wheels for use in winter, off-road conditions such as deep snow, sand or mud.
• 4×4 Baja (4L): It provides power to all four wheels for use on low-traction surfaces, but achieves this by applying extra gears for higher torque multiplication. Indicated for off-road applications, such as deep sand, steep slopes or for hauling heavy objects.

driving modes
In turn, it offers seven different driving modes that adapt engine, transmission, traction, suspension, steering and exhaust parameters to overcome any challenge.
• Normal: It provides a balanced combination of comfort and handling for everyday driving.
• Deportivo: With improved handling performance and response, the powertrain system maintains lower gears longer, helping the vehicle accelerate faster.
• Slippery: Designed for less favorable conditions, where the surface is covered with loose or slippery material; reduces throttle response and optimizes gear changes.
• Mud/Ruts: improves the performance of the vehicle to cover muddy or rutted terrain, helping the vehicle’s tires not to lose grip.
• Arena: Designed for off-road driving in sand or deep snow, it provides delayed upshifts in all gears to prevent vehicle stalling.
• Rocks: this mode optimizes response and adjusts transmission shift points to give you additional control of the vehicle.
• Baja: optimizes throttle control for better response and torque delivery in high-speed off-road driving.

• Escape Mode: quiet, normal, sport or low.
• Address Mode: normal, sporty or comfortable.
