Same applies to Merc X Class, VW Amarok, new Navaras and new Hiluxes. Pretty unlikely anyone will ever get nicked but worth noting.

Always been a fan of ‘our Vicky’ - for many years. This just feels a bit too much of a covert endorsement to enjoy 🤷🏻♂️

That pallet was pushed in its the wrong way around for a forklift if the tailgate dropped all the way down it would be better not saying a good operator couldn't do it

Thanks for your observation! As a non-forklift truck driver, please forgive me this small error.

I get pallets dropped in the back of my truck by forklifts all the time. They drop it near the back and then adjust their forks and move it to over the axle. If I am getting two they will push the front one forward the extra foot or so with the second pallet. Don't quite have the payload for 2 pallets of ready mix concrete.

Love the Ranger Raptor, only issue for me is that diesel engine could use a bit more power for such a capable suspension. But that's being addressed with the all new gen Ranger about to be released. The next gen Raptor will have a much more powerful gas motor (expect 0-60 in the low-mid 5 secs.) Since the next gen VW Amarok will be based on the new Ranger, I wonder if they will get a "Raptor" version as well, maybe under the "R" name?

Would be nice for them to comment on the reliability so people that want it for years know if it any good like when every Ford dealer is full of them with engine failure and gear box case cracking

not heard of a manual gearbox fail and seen plenty of engines with over 200k miles in teh UK which are far harder miles than American miles, and reliability has a different meaning in the UK than the USA also

I worked at the dealer for over ten years and the only issues that really caused problems were the new 2.0 bi turbo failing all the time and the 1.0 eco boost
