[@GoodwoodRR]

Is there a better off-road car available in the UK today?

For me it's clearly one of Best, with the inspiration in his older brother just confirms the full potential that ranger can have. I have to highlight this was one of Best reviews I've seen, that transparency gave a perfect idea what is all about. Very complete, absolutely superb👍

You can't buy the F150 Raptor in the UK? Sorry to hear. Next you'll probably tell me you dont have deserts. I just looked on Google earth... holy crap, I feel bad for you :( [really just trying to rub it in haha]

I agree completely how the Raptor makes you feel. Having driven one for a combined 1500 km with a few months between the drives, it is a great vehicle (you can't really call it a car ). It is playful but not fast, it makes you feel untouchable to an extent (famous last words when getting stuck in the mud). The most surprising thing I found was the faster you drive, the smoother the ride. About the driving modes, the button placement is excellent imo, the Focus ST for example has a dedicates "S" button and a drive mode button you need to press continuously to get to the mode you want, inevitably you'll go past that mode because of the lag. Putting in a scroll wheel will complicate things I think. The buttons are a faster way to change modes and it doesn't require a lot of change to the cabin (the centre console in particular). In sum, the Raptor is a vehicle you need to experience to fully understand, because the numbers really mean nothing until you've had a go behind the wheel. The torque is the main figure in the spec sheet though, if only the gearbox could make up its mind at times. If it was strapped to a V8 it would make much more sense. I just love this machine!

I agree 100%. I drive the Ranger Raptor since August 2019 and i still enjoy each and every drive i make. No matter driving on highways, innercity or country roads, it is pure fun. For me by far the best and most entertaining car/truck i have ever owned or driven!

This guy took a cool truck and when he talked he sound like the least cool person. I feel like this man is an energy vampire

[@TheMDJ2000]

The way the Ranger Raptor soaks up rough ground is amazing.

[@GavinGillett]

Sometimes I wish I could take reporters like this into my backyard so they would know what an offroad track looks like. That 4wd test track was no more challenging than a common rural driveway.

That opening shot, back through the cabin 👌

[@AW8UK]

Allegedly the current & prior model shapes not known for class leading reliability. Happy to see any evidence to the contrary.

[@ALMX5DP]

I wish we got that engine here in the states. We get the 2.3 Ecoboost out of the Focus RS but I think I’d prefer a truck engine in a truck.

[@SpecialKLSX]

Every time he says massive take a shot.

[@GoodwoodRR]

Oh god, no, we'd die.

[@hanslidlwagen4115]

Is it true that the injectors fail prematurely or is it just people saying bad things about it?

[@michakool7879]

They fix that in bi turbo diesel last year. In 2.3 Motors is conect with 3 and 4 cylinder issiue i thing. In mijn RR 2.0 bi turbo nothing happends with engine but with the diesel pomp. They fix that last week and the rest of issiues and its great car again. I love it when is good working. Have 60000 km. Great car.

[@Cobra83.]

Its an off road truck, you are expecting way too much of it on road i think. Try the hilux, 0-60 in well make a sandwich. But trucks aren't meant to be a fast, sharp handling thing on the road.

[@Witboerbliksem]

If you want acceleration buy a sport car, this is a off road vehicle duh

[@stevo7233]

Had this car. Sold it and bought a Jeep gladiator. Best decision ever. This raptor is over rated and that 10 speed auto is a bucket of dirt

[@Kayzox]

Are there some owners here that can speak about reliability? I was considering buying one but started looking after common issues. I found many topics about injector fail, oil pump fail, and-blue system fail, gearbox fail,... And most of the time bad Ford service to resolve the problem. Not very convinced anymore.

[@kieranstone1136]

I wonder how much it would cost to import one of these to Canada

[@DarthTrotter]

Have they fixed the rust issues on those South African built Rangers yet?

[@michakool7879]

No they didn't. I Pay extra 500euro for frame coating fluid becouse of ruisting frame after 6 months use. For the rest stering weel and gearbox issiues. Now everything is fixt. its a great car . I love it again.

[@4WDG]

Wow 😳 bore-fest !!!!

That 10 speed auto is more than questionable.failed gm-ford project
