RANGER RAPTOR 1 YEAR OWNER REVIEW , Pro’s and the Con’s. 50000ks on the clock.

RANGER RAPTOR 12 MONTH OWNER REVIEW, Pro’s and the Con’s. 50000ks on the clock.
Just over 12 months ago we purchased the Ranger Raptor, with everyone’s disappointment in the 2.0L engine we decided to still go ahead with our purchase.
This truck has had some serious engineering done to take the full blown impacts we have thrown at it. So how well has the Ranger Raptor taken the abuse ?
1 con I forgot to mention was stop/start.

Comprehensive review after 1 year. Showing the road the raptor had to travel daily is awesome. Two thumbs up

[@sarge7275]

It's nice to know about the Raptor's condition after 12 months despite the transmission issues posted on YT. Love the truck. Thanks for the review

[@jasonderby7635]

If this came to the US it would outsell the big raptor. A badass truck that’s sized practically for city living as well.

[@TyFenwick]

There was a Ranger Raptor testing in the US I seen on TFL channel 👍🏼 might be lucky

[@michaelhornbostel81]

It really would!!! I have a 2019 Colorado ZR2 with the V6, I LOVE THAT TRUCK. If a Ranger Raptor with a good beefy engine came to America it would sell like crazy... The regular Ranger and even the ZR2 are very popular where I live. My only complaint with the ZR2 is the lack of a more powerful engine option.

[@jamesevans938]

@@michaelhornbostel81 chances are as the raptor ranger as a model gets older they will probably add a ecoboost or something as a option especially if they release it to the us market because they would definitely want to dominate the midsize performance pickup

[@Rye_-kq3jn]

Late comment but there’s been several spy photos of the Ranger Raptor being tested in the US. Possibly gonna be released at the end of 2021 as a 2022 model. Holding out on purchasing a midsize until then👍

hey mate, great video, thanks for that.. I've had the same one since December 2019. Both seats on mine are fully electrically adjustable. It's great to hear that the Raptor didn't have any major defects with you.

[@henriwolbrink]

Hi, thanks for the long term review. But let's not forget that several points are done differently in different factories. Like I also have double heated and electrical adjustable front seats. But also less space behind the rear seat backrest. I drive the European version, build in South Africa.

[@kyledenton1841]

The Everest and the raptor are coming

[@kahuna1247]

Damn, now I wish Ford made an Everest Raptor. Thanks for the review.

[@michaelandrich]

Good, comprehensive video. One con i would add is the lack of some tech. Obviously depends on what your using it for but some of the tech it misses out on that the Wildtrak gets is disappointing. e.g adaptive cruise for highway driving

[@DaLoganFrost]

I was just looking at my Raptor parked in my garage yesterday and I thought to myself, "This truck looks just like Michael J. Fox's truck for the end scene in 'Back to the Future' without the light bar". Just more jacked. I think I'm going to get a KC old school light bar now. Great review bud. Keep up the good work. I'm guessing you next mod is a step up on the rear bumper, right side.

[@TyFenwick]

Next mod video will be up at end of the weekend I hope 🤞🏼

[@issimi]

Very good Video! Good to hear that you had no issues whatsoever with your truck in the first year. I own my Ranger Raptor since August 2019 and i am very happy as well. 2 things i dont like so much at mine are the gap dimensions at the front bumper. there is 1 cm difference between the fender on the left side compared to the right. Another thing is that the headlights just went dark last weak (excuse my bad englisch if got some words wrong). This will take 2 days to fix and even though the costs will be covered by Ford this kinda annoys me. But like i said, i am very happy with this truck and we are planning a nice road trip (3.000 km) in the summer. All the best from Austria!

[@TyFenwick]

Thank you, really appreciate you watching. Hope you stick around for more raptor content ! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@alexdb77]

Great Car! Love the rims! Congrats!!

[@edvandermeirsch3687]

Many thanks bro from here, the far away Belgium/Europe, for your nice and honest video review ! I have exactly the same (same colour) with a bit more then 4,000 km now. And OMG. That car, in fact 3 cars in one I would say, I love a lot, even city use and long distance on high way too. The only negative things for me : the steering wheel feels very indirectly and in "sport" modus it should be reacting more DIRECTLY (city or high way use). And the interior ...Hmmm....Maybe there is a bit too much vulnerable plastic ? For the rest : a great car . So thank you Ford for bringing it also to Europe!

[@TheHoofGP]

Great video Ty! What camera and gimbal are you using??

Yeah as soon as you bring your F150 to our shores..

[@CrazyGreek80]

We got the Bronco.

[@jamesevans938]

@@leoesposito8762 the whole reason ford made the ranger raptor is because ford could tell that the Europe and Australia and i dont know but i think south america have the ranger raptor as well but all of those places were wanting the raptor so instead of bringing the f150 raptor they made the ranger raptor because those places are already familiar to the ranger and keeps the ford pickup lineup smooth whereas if they had just brought the f150 raptor to those places the model lineup wouldnt make sense becuse it would go from the ranger wildtrak straight to the f150 raptor which is a big jump

And what a coincidence, you got the plate lol. I endup reserving BBF150 instead 😅

I love the 10 speed on my 2018 F150 Raptor . Haven’t had a problem with it after 2 years . The reliability in the baby raptor must be outstanding.

[@TyFenwick]

Would love a F150 mate ! Unfortunately there around $200 grand for a full loaded one here in Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for watching 🤙🏼

[@silmwingsm3974]

Ty Fenwick Wow that is truly a ridiculous mark up, I paid 75k with every option except for the bed ladder step . One thing that I do envy about the Raptor rangers that you guys over there get is diesel engine . A lot of people over here complain that there is no diesel option on the ranger that we just got here in the states .

[@silmwingsm3974]

MARCUSAURELIUS Here in the states US trucks are practically given away. You can get anywhere from 8k to 20k off msrp on a truck normally. A fully loaded Power Wagon goes for about 60k and around the same for a Trail Boss and Rebel. On the other hand we get screwed on trucks like the Defender, Land Cruiser 79, and G Wagons Professional. That are not Imported into the the USA . There are literally tons of companies here that will charge you over 200,000 k usd to rebuild a 25 year old Land Cruiser or Defender that you guys can buy new at a fraction of the price over there lol . I would love to import a Defender or LC 79 but it would cost me more then what I paid for my F150 Raptor.

[@ryancaugust]

@MARCUSAURELIUS Shit thats a surprise - you guys get shafted on them even more than we do here in NZ! In saying that we'd probably burn up the savings in petrol costs in the first year! Luckily our diesel is cheaper

[@SimplyCarReviews]

@@TyFenwick geez... I can pick a fully loaded one up here in the states for less than half of that! But, I will say you guys get some nice Trucks (utes) over there. Many of which we can only dream of.

[@roughgooch7859]

It’s an engineering marvel in terms of what it can do off road. Yes they could’ve gone for a bigger displacement engine but smaller displacement twin turbo diesels seem to be the norm unfortunately. I’ve heard rumours that the 2l is only more powerful on the dyno sheets because of much higher AFR’s. If I had it my way I’d take the blue prints to the TD42 and modernise it.

[@roughgooch7859]

@Daniel Anderson new one will be a beast. Might give the 300 series a run for its money performance wise.

[@fermacartojani6979]

At 75,000 km my EGR stopped working. At 77,000 km the torque converter stopped working. Took 2 month for Ford dealership to identify the problem and another one to repair it. I am about to sell the 2015 Ford Ranger 2.2. I encourage all to research thoroughly before buying any new car...especially shiny expensive newly launched toys.

[@vdfsbdz]

I'm happy the ranger I got (Canada so not Raptor) has a 3.5 ton towing capacity. The little 4cyl 2.3L turbo with a 10speed handles that weight like nothing

[@ivanbiscan1587]

Too many toys Ty...too many.... send one down to me !👍

[@danielcortez5092]

BTW all, Ute? I know that the AU/NZ's like to use that term. Cool! Trivia: The first popular pickup truck was the Ford Model T Runabout with a pickup body. It was factory produced by Henry Ford back in 1925. Stay virus free!

[@philgrant7205]

Good honest and balanced review. First vid of yours I've seen. Thumbs up. I will look for more. My sole negative is its a ute with a tiny motor, it ain't a truck, but hey its yours, carry on calling it whatever you want.

[@danielcortez5092]

Thanks for the video and your comments. I see no comments about the lack of rear A/C-vents. I think that someone at the FORD team goofed up. Likely the same team that approved the 2.0 engines. LOL. Cheers!

[@gunfreak565]

The F150 Raptor here in the states has those 3 amber lights in the grill for a legal reason. It exceeds a maximum width requirement by our department of transportation that states any vehicle over a certain width (which I can’t remember what that width is but it exceeds it ) must have those clearance lights to warn other drivers a wider vehicle is oncoming. It’s why all our dual rear wheel pickups have them on the roof. The F150 Raptor wider track width and wider fenders actually place it in the same width categories as dual rear wheel pickups and class8 big rigs. Stupid but that’s why the lights are there on the US Raptor. It’s law.

Better off looking into Forscan.
