New Ford Ranger Raptor driven! Why it TROUNCES the original | Wheels Australia

[@OlyMar83]

Where are all the people saying a petrol ute in Australia would not have demand?? This looks to be a winner from all view points.

[@robertryan7204]

As a designated work Ute, no. As a sort of replacement for high performance Maloo yes

[@mane1damie1]

Except for price

[@robertryan7204]

It would not have demand as a work vehicke but as a substitute for something like a Maloo yes

[@ghilliemanreviews]

I think the T6 Ranger is overbuilt. I’ve heard nothing but good things here in the US from people who have the 2019-current gen Rangers. I will probably get this next gen since it is an updated Ranger but carries over the good things from the previous gen. Ford did good with if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Also I’ve always heard, if it can take the damage Australians can give it, it’ll withstand 98% of what I can throw at it. For me it’d be a daily driver, dad mobile, weekend warrior, and vacation traveler.

[@glennstagg3559]

Looks fantastic. The Toyota fan bois will struggle for excuses of why the raptor isn't so much better off road.

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Sure. Wouldn’t take it down a mine shaft though.

Can you imagine when the price of petrol exceeds diesel (which it will) how expensive this ute will be to run.

[@weldmachine]

It's sort of funny reading some of the past comments about Overpriced ?? FF to 2024 and it doesn't seem that many buyers are being put off by the asking price. I see RAPTORS. "EVERYWHERE" like they are being given away. Ford definitely know how to build a Ute that people want to buy. My only dislike is they Orange is a little overdone on the interior. IF I bought a RAPTOR I would be tempted to at least change the Orange inserts around the Air Vents ?? But saying that, I would probably learn to live with it 👍

[@youssefkhaled9666]

I think I want one.

[@espaudio]

does it look tough enough in the flesh. the new one doesn't have the caricature like pumped guards of the old one. Wondering if it looks different enough from the regular ranger?

[@AllThatJazOfficial]

Pumps guards are the same. Old gens headlights were smaller and further into the centre of the body so made them look bigger

The same GM/Ford 10 speed transmission and the same engine being used which is the new peddy 3.0l v6 in the new bronco and f150 in the states is being used in ranger raptor. You should do your own research, they are fucking shitboxes from what been going on in the states is jury after jury hearings and Fords having to pay billions in rebuilds already. Funny that you know nothing about Fords. lol funny that

@@2011buddylee yes I did hear the Ranger Raptor for the US market will be built there in the US 👍🏻 My new Raptor should arrive this month or next month and it’s being built in Thailand like my 2020 Raptor was but will have that nice V6 petrol motor built in the US 🙌🏻 I think the people in the US will love them when they hit the market. I love the look of the F150 Raptor but sadly they don’t sell them here and if we want one we have to get them converted to right side drive.

[@trickster8635]

For what though? Petrol engine too thirsty for touring at $2.20/ litre, or $3.20/ litre remote. Can't carry weight due to it's coil spring suspension and it is limited for towing duty because of all of the above. It's a play toy for the weekend on a beach or a sand pit, expensive at that. The price would be acceptable, if it could do more than one task, but it does not.

[@marb415]

Once again guys with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car get cooler shit than us in the states

[@edwarddejong8025]

Thankfully the Ranger Raptor will be coming in 2023. It will be shown at the Detroit auto show later this year. This is a really nice design, and it will sell out quickly. A fabulous toy. I live in a city so have no excuse for getting such a vehicle, but it sure looks like a fun toy.

We’re getting this vehicle in the states, and we have a LOT of awesome vehicles they don’t.

[@victorodera4175]

Why is bumper wobbling at 1:32? I saw it behave same way in another rough off-road video too.

[@nrx963]

Need to have flex on things like that so it doesn’t rub/knock around. Same reason bull bars have gaps from bumper

[@Ziochopchop]

Flex is necessary in all vehicles.

[@bendgeddes]

The bumper is mounted directly to the chassis. This is how the bull bar will also be fitted. The body, including the grill section, are fixed to the chassis on rubber mounts for comfort and noise reduction. This is evident in all new(ish) 4x4 with a bull bar fitted, as you can see from the drivers seat, the top bars of the bull bar moving independently from the bonnet. P.S. a full scale bull bar is heavy and might detract from that all important Raptor suspension. Regular Rangers can simply add after market suspension to accomodate the weight.

Fords hybrid 10R80 trans will fit in the new engine bay. Nudge nudge wink wink. Hence why there is a lot of transmission tunnel clearance.

[@alphabravo3304]

Every review is the same, ford brought us here to go fast in dirt, ford are daylight robbers at the moment, estimated price for what is still essentially a normal ranger inside, so internal comfort and room is lacking, it still doesn’t have the carrying or towing capacity, is $93 grand (ford website) Question is, is ford trying to justify the F150 future price tag through the raptor. I spoke with Canadian service and parts staff employed by a dealer, even they said in Canada for $80 grand Canadian or $89 grand Australian you can get the most up to date, top spec large pickup truck, with every conceivable extra, while in Australia we are robbed for choice and ripped off on price.
