It's amazing that you just assumed it's fake air vents... It's not Toyota, or VW. They It's a Ford. They do real engineering, and think about the machine and the operator in a practical and innovative way. Thank the heavens in 2022 we still have a manufacturer that can think for themselves and deliver amazing products. Thank you Henry Ford for an incredible legacy ❤️

[@cuebj]

Saw one of these yesterday in southeast London. Caught my eye because one of my daughter's four chickens is named Raptor 'cos she looks like a miniature velociraptor. The pickup I saw just looked stupid in London on local side road. My son could use a one with six seats and covered back in North Wales cattle farming now his wife just had 4th baby

[@Kepple_kastaways]

Dude that last spread was actually pretty good

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

Great review! America is looking forward to getting the new Ranger Raptor maybe in 2024? You mentioned the towing capacity being 2,500 kilos. If I'm Imperializing those numbers correctly, that means the Raptor is towing roughly 5,500 pounds and the standard Ranger is towing 7,700ish pounds. Assuming the power trains remain the same and the steering wheel moves to the other side, I would expect we get something similar here with the Raptor and maybe some front end changes on the standard Ranger. Wish us luck! The new body style was supposed to be happening in 2023 but it's been pushed back to 2024. I've ordered an old body style 2023 Ranger Tremor in the meantime so it will be interesting to compare it to all the new interior tech as our 2023 looks more like a 2003 inside.

[@darrenprior6339]

Great review. Probably one of the best I've seen. Love this truck except for one thing. The bloody fuel consumption is mentally ludicrous. I've had mates who've taken this thing off road and seen 30L/100km FFS. Even around town you'll be lucky to see under 15L/100km. Sure some wife-beaters out there will say "Nobody buys this for the fuel economy" but let's see how long these former inmates laugh after six months of ownership. I'd say they'll be back to robbing grannies for money and be back inside and a few of these trucks (mostly bought on hire purchase at insane interest rates) will be back on the market.

[@johnnumbat9782]

Yes Darren - the fuel consumption is ridiculous and glad to have it confirmed because many online folk disputed my claims about this but with the greatest respect Ford like Holden is only a brand a bogan could love and the least likely to be concerned about the planet - they like to annoy us with their power and noise intruding on our peace - I do drive an unmodified Hilux because it does everything I need and my senior age means I don’t have to show off - Ford also has poor reliability - yes Toyota were neglectful recently but I will own one above anything else.

[@darrenprior6339]

@@johnnumbat9782 Yep. Agree. The last thing we all need (but are going to get) are thugs driving these things on the road, terrorising sane motorists via acts of intimidation. Of course such thugs also think they're the world's best drivers. Combine that power with a light rear end and many of these wanker tanks will end up wrapped around trees or worse - murdering some poor father's innocent daughter coming the other way.

[@johnnumbat9782]

@@darrenprior6339 thank you for your respectful reply Darren. - yes I also worry about my daughters (three and grandchildren) being taken away by some of these thugs - the world needs smarter folk like you to try and balance this and yes I know there are good respectful drivers out there - if people want to make uninformed emotive decisions with all their ‘hire purchase’ funds then that’s their cross to bear - you can live in a house but not really a car forever - stay safe and avoid the thugs if you can and enjoy your next 4WD trek.

These "mini" Raptors are awesome. This was what I joked about getting if I couldn't get the F-150 Raptor, but back then they didn't exist. I guess Ford thought that these Rangers would make great "mini" Raptors too. But I got lucky and found a great deal on the exact black on black Raptor I wanted. It's a 2010, and in great shape. Great review guys! I love seeing these little dudes in action.

[@damienfrizzell9394]

its almost like a 4x4 ute and a sport car had a baby . i own a fj cruiser and i30sedan n for roughly the same money as this one vehicle . I use to firmly think with vehicles its better to get built for purpose other wise you end up with compromise with the cross over vehicle hitting neither of the marks sufficiently enough . saying that, this does tick a lot of off road boxes and breaks new ground in off road sport driving but how is going to be fully laden with all the off road gear ? and yet again there are better on road sport cars you can get for half the price . this rapter has me wondering can 1 better than 2 ?
