Ford Ranger Raptor review - the most exciting pick-up on sale? | What Car?

[@maxflight777]

I’m buying one ! The looks, safety and reasonable running costs make it unique. If I want to go fast, I’ll be on one of my motorcycles !

[@lirimsylaj6798]

Max Flight the thing it’s mate it depends what you use it for this track it’s ok to drive it on farms and things like that but if you’re driving to go up on the mountaineers and things like that, that engine it’s not going to cope With the power of these turbos trust me so you’re better buying the 3.2L one that’s the best I own one of these and it’s amazing I’did drive through the mountains and it was about 1metre snow no problem.Thts just a suggestion! All the best 🖐🏽

[@SuperWolffie]

I think it will use a lot of dieselfuel

What is the price of this pick up truck

[@R3zzRhino]

So this isn't available in Canada until 2022? man I won't this to be my first truck. Looks so mean and sporty hopefully it'll be a affordable

[@Yet_Another_Steve]

You don't want a bigger F-150 Raptor with a 3.5 V6 which sells in the US for the equivalent of £38k. No, you want this smaller Ranger Raptor with a 2.0 diesel engine which sells in the UK for £48k. Much better.

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Defo the best looking pick up. After my home renovation, I'm getting me a Raptor

[@gpz550a2]

UK car review carried out in Morocco. That'll be full of real world driving impressions relevant to the UK market then...🥱

[@gerrydays1909]

Best looking pickup on the road we have 2 ford rangers form new one has 137000 miles second one has 79000 miles very good pickup👍

[@maestrocapitalist8718]

It is really a bad idea reviewing this car by comparing it to the F-150.. Ford is not mistaken for making them separated

[@4477superman]

@Jim Thomas Uhh, no, they aren’t. The F150 is a full size truck, the Ranger is a midsize. Two completely different models.

[@qzit]

[@langamaope3019]

Great car that deserves a 3.0TDI turbo diesel V6 or a 3.5 eco boost petrol V6 engine to make it "a great car with a great engine".

[@shelbygtrag5859]

10.2 sec to 62, that's terrible!!!! But it is for off road, and kicks ass at that!

[@alanmeeds54]

My 16 plate wildtrack chassis was covered in rust after one year The bucket plastic seat split Checked by the dealer and he just laughed Hope this is better

[@cattlewranglerwalsh116]

Seems way over priced for what it is, the value of these with drop fairly rapid.

[@ldawson103]

Ford bring this to the US please!

[@FreshPwncakez]

With a bigger engine!

[@pirate1012]

It is available in the US

[@AR-zr1om]

I could forgive the 2.0 but why didn't they use the 240bhp spec instead of 210 like in the new Ford Edge?!

[@sleemholsinger]

Can the Raptor engine be remapped or superchipped without danger? I have done it for my Ford Ranger but then that is a 3.2 litre with much more potential

[@davehamlyn3097]

157 Kw and 500 Nm torque. These engines were built in Port Elizabeth and and the vehicle it's self in Silverton .

[@JasonRobert]

I wish we could have a eco diesel version of the Ranger Raptor here in the States

[@morganfreeman6887]

Which state in the Philippines do you mean cause Ford Ranger is already in Philippines

[@gadjetnige]

Due to the load carrying capacity of well under the uk 1000kg/1 ton commercial requirement, you would need to be off your trolly to buy one in the uk.

[@pirate1012]

Nigel Hill not to mention you’d never be able to park it and it would cost a fortune to insure.

[@samuelgreen9366]

If the F150 Raptor goes back to V8, they need to put the 3.5L V6 TT EcoBoost in this Ranger Raptor or the Coyote V8 out of the Mustang. A lot of money for no engine performance. Personally biggest down fall of this ute. I know people including myself that wouldn't buy purely because of lack of engine power. Its a Raptor, you wanna feel and hear some power and grunt when driving!!

[@mrgilmore6953]

The ranger needs a V8

[@mathibelamartha4684]

My God I am crazy about Ford Ranger 👍👀

[@jettanyag1518]

Look the old Wildtrak is 3.2L 5Cyl 6-speed Turbo what if the new Raptor (2.0L 4cyl 10-speed Bi-turbo) has a new engine of 3.2 L 5 Cyl 10-speed Bi-Turbo? or 3.5L V6 engine? Does it make more sense and worth buying the truck?

[@DedekindU]

Look dumbass the 2.0L bi-Turbo Rapter makes more power and torque than the 3.2L Ranger making it a much better performer and has less weight FFS

[@johncitizen9996]

@@DedekindU u are the dumbass bro. The 3.2 has the bigger payload and can tow an extra tonne. It's not about quarter mile speed

[@cuco51]

Exactly... what would have happened if they use that twin turbo in the current 3.2?

[@DedekindU]

@@johncitizen9996 if you want the bigger payload why in hells name would you then waste your time on looking into Rapter vids they are for racing and jumping not Payload You're really not smart

[@DedekindU]

@@cuco51 it would produce more power and torque making the vehicle more snappy and a lot faster and more powerful

[@tonysmith5812]

Here in the UK its not classified as a commercial vehicle... NO TAX INCENTIVE........ Ford messed up here, why would any business buy one when the tax is the same as a car.

[@konarider1215]

Not everyone buys 4x4s to dodge paying tax, and anyway those rules only apply to the UK, Ford aren’t going to make a bespoke vehicle just for us

[@keepitsimple003]

The only thing that troubles me is when the recall letters will be sent out after a few weeks or months. I bought the 2014 Focus ST and the amount of recall letters I got was disappointing. I still have the car as it was the first non-Japanese car I've own/driven daily. I am looking for a truck, but I think I will wait this one out once Ford gets the recalls fixed or go with a Tacoma. Just my two cents.

[@jamesmay3863]

KeepItSimple get a dual cab land cruiser V8 💪

[@hunterbradshaw1995]

Get the colorado. Best midsize truck right now.

[@jamesmay3863]

Hunter Bradshaw Colorado in Australia is a piece of crap

[@cuco51]

Great looks, great suspension but why not keep the 3.2 with the new twin turbo? That would have been awesome. Probably that is the marketing strategy of Ford. Sell this one, hear the people, sell a new one with bigger engine.

[@dongbatoktoy7546]

[@iainmackenzie3704]

Good work boy. Look forward to seeing more videos from you.

[@petermcelvogue7521]

If they stuck the engine from the focus RS in it. Then I would have went for it. A diesel with all the dpf nonsense no thanks.

[@DedekindU]

No diesel is yust fine FFS Pertol is expensive This is what people need light weight good performing fuel efficient best in class pickup

[@petermcelvogue7521]

Eventually in the uk diesel is going to get hammered with an increase in road tax because of the levels of nitrogen it produces. If you drive less than 12k miles a year a diesel makes less sense as you risk clogging the DPF. Then there's the EGR valve & vapour valve to contend with. Petrol maybe less efficient but there's less to worry about.

[@DedekindU]

Please note the Ford Ranger's market is not in UK but mostly in Australia and South Africa And in those countries people consider diesels over petrol

[@DedekindU]

I get what you are saying hopefully in the future Ford wil provide the UK with an optional petrol version

[@g4do]

What in the hell is wrong with Ford and General Motors? 2.0 liter turbo diesel? Where is the fucking 3.5 liter turbo gas engine? They have to know they've lost a lot of customers behind this stupidity. Its clearly a no brainer, yet , someone thought it was a good idea to fuck with people's expectations. Raptor means PERFORMANCE to any and everyone who is used to driving a truck with the Raptor name . Fuck this truck

Ford needs to fire somebody. "Performance race truck" hahaha... put a 3.5 V6 then lets talk.

[@bulletstee9118]

Should see what it's like in ireland

[@pirate1012]

Mainly because most buyers will be businesses and the classification will determine how much money you can claim back. It’s certainly more expensive than the US/CAN in any case.

[@f1b1777]

Very Bad test simply coz you testing off road only so you can’t get a true review ...plus you failed to say you can buy a F150 uk version .

Ford have undone their own brilliant work. The 2ltr bi-turbo just doesn't cut it. Maybe on the Wildtrak but on the Raptor they honestly needed to re-work the 3.2ltr or offer a V6 TDI. Especially when they knew that VW and Merc would be offering a V6 TDI. And yes offer a petrol engine for the petrol heads. How difficult is it to make customers happy really?

Get your facts straight. Diesels put out far less pollution than gas trucks do. Plus, modern vehicles have so many systems that limit emissions enormously. I.e. EGR and DEF. Learn how engines work and check out some studies done and you'll see that modern vehicles don't put out enough emissions to "make the world die." Nice try though!
