2019 Ford Ranger Raptor First Drive: It's Bonkers!

[@richierich8334]

This is on my list when my numbers on the Euro lottery come up ;)

It's not a workhorse, nor is it built to be, it is the weaker of the 3 Ranger's, but it's built for off-road rallying, taking on the Baja 1000, hence the Baja mode.

[@CarObsession]

True, its payload capacity is not as high as other Rangers, but it's still a pick up truck at the end of day, therefore I still think it can serve as a workhorse, even if its design is more performance. Yes, it does have the Baja mode, but how many of Raptor owners - particularly those in the UK - is actually going to use it?

[@paulwalker9732]

@@CarObsession Agreed, most people, especially in the UK will never use it for much serious off-road stuff, but the Raptor is built more as a rally vehicle and not farmyard work with only a 2.5 T tow weight. It can be used as such but isn't built to be a workhorse.

Great First Drive Review. Great Location For The First Drive. I'm Guessing You Were At A Recent Media Event For Motoring Journalists

[@CarObsession]

Yeah, this was actually from an event back in September - thanks for watching 👍🏽.

Great review. I am buying one in Jamaica.

Lucky you👍

9:07 Now this is what I wanted to see. Thanks! :) It did a lot better than what I expected, to be honest. If you're into the occasional justified sidewalk invasion, this is the right vehicle for you. Not that regular vehicles would do much better on those tight streets, though.

You don't have a clue ,winging it all the way

[@EV0N1K]

You better leave the Raptor to "drivers" and stay with your Corolla

[@CarObsession]

That's funny, last time I checked, I don't have a Corolla. Thanks for watching 👍🏽
