The 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor has an EPA-estimated fuel consumption of 16 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined for its 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine[2][3]. Independent testing and owner experiences suggest real-world numbers vary: highway use at speeds around 75 mph can return nearly 21 mpg, though this is higher than the official EPA figure and likely achievable only under ideal conditions[1].

City driving tends to be significantly less efficient, with some owners reporting fuel economy as low as 10–12.5 mpg in heavy traffic and frequent stop-and-go conditions. These results can differ depending on driving habits, terrain, and whether the engine is still in its break-in period[5]. During mixed driving, including highway, urban, and backroad segments, reports often indicate averages between 17 and 18 mpg[4][6]. Internationally, reviews based on WLTP figures cite about 12.8 l/100km, which is roughly equivalent to 18.4 mpg US[7].

Factors such as aggressive driving, the large off-road tires, and the high curb weight further contribute to relatively poor fuel efficiency compared to the standard Ranger models. The Ranger Raptor features a 20.3-gallon fuel tank, providing a highway cruising range of approximately 380 miles at around 19 mpg, though less if highway speeds are increased or off-road driving is involved[4].
