Great video. As usual. I’ve driven the raptor. It’s very underwhelming. It’s big. It looks kinda cool. But it’s weak. It has a transmission with 184 million speeds. It compensates for a big engine with noise played through the speakers in the cabin to make it sound bigger and tougher to the people inside (always helps a car dealer). The only truly impressive part of this vehicle is the suspension. It really is great for stock. The American raptors are the only thing worth buying though. This raptor is Barbie dressed up as Ken. No hate to you Ross! Been a follower for years

I driven Hummer 2, Cadillac Escalade, Ford Thunder Bird, Expedition , a bulletproof Suburban and Ford Excursion in the States and they were fun to drive because they are big and powerful. But, this Ranger Raptor for me is already satisfying and fun to ride and drive especially here in Asia. I owned and sold not just 200 different kinds of automobiles since 2008 and by far this is my choice of ute or car to drive everyday.

Hi Ross, is the 3.2L engine an optional? Can't understand why Ford isn't placing the "BARRA" 4.0L engine into the Ranger's, it's a proven unbreakable engine. Add a turbo charger to the Barra engine and it may become dangerous unless more stability work done. Don't think many farmer or country driver's would prefer larger motor, "Barra". Alas, it is what it is. Loved the video.

@@RossReviewsau Yes that would be fantastic especially with fuel economy of a large engine in a mid size Ranger/Ranger Raptor. Don't know why ford Australia is reluctant to insist on a Barra especially when other manufactures are going to bigger motors. Ford's Ranger range of vehicles, especially if they come with a Putt Putt motor will most likely lose market position especially to Toyota Hilux. Goiunstoppable

Ford missed an opportunity with the Raptor to stick one right up Toyota, the vehicle looks the part, off road it's great but on road Performance is lacklustre and those silly mags that stick out past the tire just get destroyed off road, still compared to the ugly Hilux Rugged X priced at $75,960, the Raptor seems like a bargain for a much better vehicle.
