Wat Ford Ranger: the pick-up that was born wanting to be a sports car

Our protagonist today comes from Thailand, specifically from the hands of a tuner called Wat Ford, who has brought to life the pick-up that was born wanting to be a sports car, inheriting elements from its sister brand, the Ford Mustang.

It is true that the Ford Ranger range already has its sporty variant called Raptor, but this Wat Ford Ranger goes a step further with a look that will undoubtedly leave no one indifferent.

A Ranger that is hardly a Ranger

From the front view, its aggressive and muscular gaze, accentuated by its large wheel arches and bumper, are the elements that give this design so much personality and presence.

Added to this, its red paint with two white stripes covering the whole body make it clear that this Ranger has nothing to envy from the iconic Mustang, from which it even inherits the logo on its grille.

If we turn 90 degrees, its fenders in the purest Rocket Bunny style with exposed bolts visually plant the Ranger to the ground, giving it a truly sporty image. This is also possible thanks to its new air suspension and its Force Off-Road design tyres and wheels.

To finish with the exterior, Wat Ford has fitted new darkened rear lights and a tailgate like that of its big sister, the F-150 Raptor, which features the Ford letters in relief. This element, combined with the white stripes, the tinted windows and the two rear exhausts, gives away that something special must lie under its bonnet.

Not confirmed, but fairly clear

That said, although Wat Ford has not confirmed any specific data about its mechanics, everything points to the heart of this machine being the same 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine as the Ford Mustang, which produces around 450 CV and more than 550 Nm of maximum torque.
