I'm excited to be on a 2 year waiting list for this...

[@vicentegimenofuset2604]

2 years? I can’t believe it

[@MrMegatron85]

Not to mention dealer markup. Stupid ass shit.

Great clip as per usual !

This video sealed the deal for me! The POV and video of the detailed off road controls are amazing. Thank you. And now the waiting game begins. I’m in the US, SoCal to be exact. Cheers!

[@PDriveTV]

You’ll love it! Thanks 🙏

[@mini2nut67]

I’m in the USA and it looks like our Ford Ranger Raptor order books open up in May. I am waiting patiently!

[@mindgamewords]

Same. Waiting to order

[@rifty7304]

Keep up the good work !!!!!

[@MrKevSm1th]

great review thanks

[@grpaxto]

Can’t wait to get mine. Certainly gets the giggle factor going with every journo review I’ve watched

[@c.harris4509]

I have a 22' Code Orang F150 Raptor with the High pkg. Didn't opt for the moonroof cause I nvr use it. But, I really like all the orange accents in the Ranger Raptor. Mine only has orange line on edges off dash and center of steering wheel. That's it!

[@fordj7516]

that was a great video to watch

[@PeaceBennedict]

finally i got the best detailed pov🥺💗💖

[@WillemLuntungan]

Thank you

[@gabecuevas2208]

They need to bring that over here in the states. Must be a blast to have a mid size truck or a car as you call it to have a bit of fun in the dirt or mud.

I love the shot at 1:08 where half of the shit under the car is already rusting to bits

[@colemitchmtb]

Probably just dirt from going off-road

[@Paradoxical124]

That’s dirt 😂

Yo where is this road? Looks fun and good for my son to learn 4wd . Where is is this located

[@speedoy2k]

About to order ours today in the Northern Territory, Australia. Allegedly a 9 month wait but they did say that may reduce as they’re ramping up production in a few places due to demand. So maybe more 6-9 month. Code Orange with the roller shutter over the tub. $97k Australian 😳🙄

[@robinindam6983]

Yeah ford ranger is my favourite car

[@dimmacommunication]

I love the short gears , not the pathetic long ones most cars have. Long gears are useful only in simulation driving

[@oni-one574]

Only in Australia and the US would someone wonder how to get groceries to and from the store with a pickup truck. Lmao.

[@RxngerRxptor]

Why does it say the left door is open while you opened the right door

[@351tgv]

great review, I am not interested in buying the Ranger Raptor, that said if there were a Everest Raptor that would be something I would very highly consider would be interesting to see what effect more sedate tyres would bring to the overall ability since most owners will be on-road.

[@Jimmy_Saf]

Code Orange looks SICK! I bought a black one and am a bit sad hahaha

[@Majid_FA]

How is it on a highway?!

[@subarustifan4694]

I just took a 2023 wildtrack for a test drive. From stop put my foot down. It didn't do anything near that fast! It'd ment to have more torque so I don't get it. I'll be test driving the 23 raptor in march.

[@TGM60]

First of all, I’ve never heard of anyone compare a pick up truck to a Jaguar. Secondly, this is a mini raptor and If someone thinks this is a big truck, then they should have a look at a raptor 150. If someone is looking for an SUV this is not the vehicle they should be looking at or consider, this is a proper off-roader.

[@plantpower3048]

can u soften the suspension?

[@mini2nut67]

I’m at bit shocked by the rust on the undercarriage already. How old is your your truck?

[@PDriveTV]

This is an official press vehicle owned by Ford Australia. Usually no more than around 10,000km old 👍

[@kikes2200]

On the waiting list. 2 years to go

[@Alex-sw9rj]

It's so freaking funny how you croc snacks are still driving on the wrong side of the road in 2023 😂

[@PDriveTV]

Haha yeah, we are so backward compared with you guys. You guys are the best 😀🙏

[@w_stanky]

Yeah and use the metric system.. How outdated. 😂

[@DonnAz340]

Saw one of these when I was out wheeling today (sadly had a flat so had to cut it all short) but mannnn are they nice. video doesnt do it enough justice imo

[@robinindam6983]

Same to my car

[@perpetualgrin5804]

I like the red dot at the top of the wheel, reminds me of my time in India 🇮🇳 😄.

[@speedoy2k]

😂

[@LizardMane]

thats a short truck bed wonder if bikes can fit there

[@SecretSauce8]

No tail gate damper?

[@trickster8635]

No tailgate seals!

[@robinindam6983]

Because the strong one

[@S9RUT]

Does the Raptor have a "MyMode" like the Mustang?

[@Mark-pc5bx]

Yes, you press the raptor button on steering wheel twice and it will change to your pre set vehicle settings for steering, suspension, exhaust and drive mode. Had mine for a month now, great vehicle.

[@brenden619]

I can't wait to get one, but its still a year away for me.. Stop calling it a ute lol, you had it right the first time saying truck :P

[@PDriveTV]

You'll enjoy it! Isn't a 'truck' a very large 6-wheel-plus vehicle used primarily for haulage?

[@vinny7029]

U got it yet ? How is it lol

[@andrevanderwesthuizen7727]

Why are you holding the steering as if you have crab claws?

[@word1901]

2023 toyota shitbox that makes less power then a 2003 LPG falcon even though it has a v8 with 0.5L more displacement and is turbocharged by 2023 it will be sucking down diesel fuel at $3 a litre if it's not rationed by then

[@trickster8635]

Toyota might have fixed all the engineering faults by then - but then again, 2 years behind every one else.

[@HughesyTech]

I'm worried about the 10 speed transmission since it's had class action lawsuits and issues with it before

[@HughesyTech]

@@2011buddylee and ACCC can't do much and Ford doesn't have the best track record with customer support.

[@Moonface00z]

I hear ford thailand that a minor facelift is planned for next Q3.. Some minor tweaks on the suspension system and better cooling for the engine. Looks like there are some overheat cases Glad i cancel my order

[@tersy9862]

Actually it's not based on the previous generation at all. The raptor has been around for ages and Dakar Rally F150. The previous generation was just a pathetic attempt to create it in a ranger platform for the AUS market and this generation they have done it properly

[@PDriveTV]

It’s based on the Australian-developed T6 platform, just like the previous generation. The platform has been revised and improved. Hope that helps.

[@tersy9862]

@@PDriveTV Its actually more closely related to the new F150 than the old ranger. And the old ranger never had a real raptor

Dose it Have a 1. Cigarette lighter socket? 2. With all this computer electronic equipment. Dose it have EMP shielding. Electromagnetic shield defense protection? If not then this truck will be usless if an EMP hits us. 3. With all this computer electronic equipment.....How long will it be troube free? And how much will it cost to repair?

[@Swampdonkey796]

Yeah bro it's got emp shielding and a first of its kind vehicular anti missile defense system with built in secondary countermeasures in the front grill. It also fun fact comes with a license to kill

[@davidcameron8163]

Is it fitted with ford's infamous powershit gearbox or a ecoboom engine that over heats and kills the engine or burns the driver to death.

[@ra_redesignautomobiles]

My family owned American brands in the past, my father told me ford's transmission were disposable And dealers take someone's parts to put that parts on your car

[@trickster8635]

Nup, all fixed dude.
