Is the new 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor dual-cab pick-up truck the best ute ever? Well, that depends on what you expect a 4x4 ute to be able to do.
If you think a double cab truck should be able to rip through muddy paddocks, jump over obstacles, scream to 6000rpm and belt over terrain like a rally truck... all straight off the showroom floor? Then this is going to be the right vehicle for you.
That's because the Ford Ranger Raptor is unlike any other ute on the market. Some might offer serious off-road prowess, but none have been built from the ground up to be driven like this one has. And none have a 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine, 10-speed auto, and a range of drive modes including the bonkers Baja setup that is designed for one thing only - fun!
Just like the last one, it has a compromised payload and towing capacity compared to other mainstream utes, and as such, it won't be fit for purpose if you're a tradie or caravan enthusiast.
But if you've got the means, you won't be disappointed. Matt Campbell drove the New-Gen Ranger Raptor at the brand's launch event in Queensland recently, and he's still recovering from his time in it.

Would love to have some sort of tray cover to be able to keep stuff clean, dry, and more secure even if as a factory option, and some roof rails (just to be able to mount an awning). I realise these could be added later aftermarket but at $85k the price differential over the wildtrak starts to blow out when you add on a couple of basic features for a Ute/4 wheel drive. Great review.

I owned a 2020 HSV Sportscat with walkinshaw tune and quite a few aftermarket options. I know have a 2023 Raptor and love this ute all the way to the R. There could have been a few different smaller options that could have been better and upgraded but overall it is awesome.

I switched to the Hilux and I have had no problems with the Hilux so far. Dependability and reliability are critical for me so the Hilux is still my preference. That said, it is good to see that the new Ranger is so much better.

So, I'd like to point out something here. Yes, the fuel consumption is high. BUT! With that, you can service, what? every 15,000km rather than every 7500km for a diesel (realistically). No having to worry about $1000 each injectors when they fail, no having to worry about an injector pump failing and costing $6k to replace. At least at the moment, Petrol is cheaper than diesel and it's probably gunna stay that way for the foreseeable future. Unless you're buying a diesel that's using 6L per 100. It's probably cheaper to run than my 200 series.

Fantastic looking truck inside and outside. Looks to be a nice daily driver and a strong off roader. Nice interior with that massive infotainment screen, with technology that assists when off roading like the personal settings and forward trail camera. Comparing the Australian dollar to the US dollar which I'm guessing the price is based on. That $85,000 price would be around $57,385 in the US based on the US dollar.

@@Pelikanmates I drive about the same amount as you (roughly 18,000 miles a year) in my daily driver and I prefer the diesel. This preference takes the Raptor trim off the table for me even if Ford did offer a diesel variant. For 12 years my daily driver was a Ram 2500 Cummins and I loved the truck. It lacked the payload and towing capacity that I need, so I sold it and have a Ford diesel ordered (for over 18 months now). Vehicle weight and towing regulations in the US are a lot different than AUS, so the Ranger and even F150 are not really seen as capable tow vehicles. Even my 2500 was too small to tow my gooseneck trailer (26,000 lbs/11,800kg fully loaded) at full GVM/GVWR.

Ford doesn't have a stated 0-100km/h time - but they claim it's "hot hatch fast", so think of it in the six-second zone. Thanks Matt

Ford has lost its mind to introduce this truck without a Hybrid Assisted Powertrain. This truck is AWESOME but in todays age with TESLA proving how powerful and reliable Electric Powertrains can be this truck should atleast have a 14kw batter pack with an electric motor assist in the rear just like the North American F150 Hybrid has. Though that truck only has a 7kw battery pack. Also that truck has ProPower Outets on Board with 5 110 Power Outlets and 1 220 Power Outlet. These can replace the need for a jobsite generator as well provide all the power you need while camping or if there is a power outage this type of power can power your house for a two weeks on a tank of gas with the engine at idle.
