Ford Ranger Raptor V6 2022 Review

Second Aussie-developed Ranger Raptor in just four years marks the introduction of a bona-fide ‘Super Ute’ 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The second-generation 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor has landed, slamming down a huge step forward in performance, capability, refinement, technology and safety.
Armed with a near-300kW twin-turbo petrol V6 for the first time, the new Ranger flagship boasts Fox live adaptive dampers, a bold new design and a completely revamped interior space - and asks a small price increase for the privilege.
We sent Sam Charlwood to the Australian launch of the new Ford Ranger Raptor to see if lives up to the hype.

Who would ever have thought a truck would replace Aussie performance cars ?

[@mario_jesusfollower2953]

This rig is sick! Can’t wait for this to come to America 😆

[@honestjoe632]

The best ute available today, hope I will be able to get one in the not too distant future…

[@michaelJones2005-MJJ]

I love the ford ranger raptor with the Code Orange.

[@bstutt6960]

I doubt it’s a spray in liner in the tub, and it’s unlikely a ‘full time’ 4WD as it’s a on demand engagement so not full time at all :)

[@shadowstorm4376]

Love it but sadly I can’t afford it.

[@richieduck67]

Good to see you had the right person for the review

[@Matthew-ll9ke]

How did you calculate the payload?

[@mahfuzul2015]

Big boy

[@Alexander450R]

10:49 was that the jump, or is that in a part 2 review?

[@ausguy4385]

Yeah what jump....

[@localguy123]

Previous raptor was more of an option in the previous gen lineup. This raptor is a vehicle in its own class. The raptor isnt a daily driver anymore.

[@Deatomizer]

The crazy thing is I don't think Toyota - which is the Ranger's closest competitor - will be making a Hilux to compete with the Raptor. Toyota is already having issues with their turbos on their Tundra's in the States with people waiting months to get them back from the mechanics, I think they'll be happy playing second fiddle to the Raptor.

[@michakool7879]

my raptor was 89 days in service , if i can turn back time , never ford again . it was the wors new car ever bouth , maybe is becouse in poland becouse ford make his garbage send to lands like poland where no gowerement customers support is. For the rest like in ford - rust in few weeks . most issiues of serie one -rust frame, -weak gearbox, i know two RR where was gone onder 30 th km -injectors first months cars -diesel pomp -radio compatibility with android - is not exist. For plus of this piece of junk is look . This car looks amaizing ,when is new ,after 3 years still like his look but dont like drive , its noisy , heavy , fox is over its just a ranger for too much money.

[@Deatomizer]

@@michakool7879 exactly what some Tundra owners are going through at the moment with their issues. My 2019 Camry trans blew after only 2 years ownership. Sometimes you are dealt the short straw.

[@paulmcintosh5589]

Just put this engine in all rangers as an option, instead of the diesel shit box.

[@Snigzel801]

So does the raptor actually not come in blue?

[@kenwolf2431]

What is up with all these car reviews always having background music it sucks. Lets hear the vehicle more stop the music. 😑

[@tomtao4266]

10speed Auto is a concern .they have had many issues

[@markdotcomau]

The advise I've read and heard from a few sources is wait at least 12 months before you buy. Ford has a bad reputation for giving zero f*cks about fixing very well known and publicised issues, including major gearboxes flaws/faults and continuing to sell their product to the sucker consumer anyway. It's like waiting for human vaccine trials to be a couple of years in and seeing how many healthy people drop dead of heart failure before you take the plunge yourself, then finding out the manufacture got caught deliberately hiding and manipulating the data.

[@OlyMar83]

12.1L after 30min driving is not bad considering it’s 2.5t v6

[@akashbatth]

3.0 not 2.5

[@OlyMar83]

@@akashbatth I’m talking about the weight of the truck. 2.5 ton.

[@Craig-ur6wj]

The headlights are going to make for a ugly bullbar.

[@williamporter7495]

Hope it’s not the same hand grenade they’ve put in the bronco

[@electricdiesel1993]

Please consider a 5.0 V8 Ford Ranger made in the USA.

[@02hreblue30]

never happen. take a breath and hold it

[@JohnTorcasio]

The touch screen is not big enough

[@donottrack]
