We STILL Don't Get the Ford Ranger Raptor in the U.S. (Yet), But How Much Are We Missing Out?

They did that with a Canadian and that faded away. ;)

@@WW-wf8tu There was one Canadian, not Steven, who was a total goob. I only saw one video with him. Now I wonder if it was a spoof.

weve have the ranger raptor here in Thailand.They are Australian, but assembled in the Ford plant in Bangkok area..weve had had for about 31/2 years..side note.. if vehicles are not built or assembled here,the goernment has a 300% duty bring vehicles..needless to say most car manufactures all have large plants here..diesel has been great here

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

While the outgoing Ranger Raptor was not available in the United States, it was available in Mexico. It’s good that you’ll be getting the next generation Ranger Raptor. The next gen Ranger Raptor is already available in Mexico; they now have a full Raptor lineup with the Ranger Raptor, Bronco Raptor and F-150 Raptor (called the Lobo Raptor in MX).

[@IronmanV5]

Time to go shopping in Mexico.....

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@IronmanV5 You can’t import a car to the USA if it was never officially sold in America and it’s under 25 years old. If you want an alternative, there’s the Chevy Colorado ZR2 diesel.

[@alekssl93]

Yes, we do still have the 2022 Ranger Raptor (like the one in this video) in sale here in Mexico, along with the newest 2023 model. They are just going to keep it selling until they finish their stock of that old one. The 2022 is currently priced around 58k USD and the new ones went up to 68k USD (local prices with taxes included).

[@davidjernigan7576]

I have to complement him on a well done video review.

[@WW-wf8tu]

A lot of people make well done videos. I would even guess there are channels that don't produce their own content and just use others for content....(easy and free) 😉

[@cullinan18]

Great style and presentation of his review.

[@kelvinhill9874]

The brand new Ranger Raptor that just came out in Australia looks very different to this one, which is the old model. The old one had a 2.0 bi-turbo diesel. The new one has a 3.0 twin turbo petrol V6. I think it is the same engine used in the Bronco Raptor.

[@TellurideS13]

I'm currently in Thailand now and there's tons of the next gen Ranger Raptors

[@Armyvet91B]

It's the turbo diesel engine that really makes it shine

[@kevinbarry71]

right, when it's not in the dealership being worked on

[@johnwhitneykokalis9990]

According to the designer of the GM 2.7 turbo which is in the Canyon..... he says the 2.7 is basically a gasoline powered diesel because of the durability and power you get in a 4 banger that has 310 hp and 430 ft lbs of torque. Also the Canyon is a nice looking truck IMHO.

[@JesseMcDMusic]

Not too stoked on the last gen diesel Raptor, however the new V6 TT with the refreshed grill...well that is something!!!

[@damiangutierrez9103]

In Mexico, the current 2022 Ranger Raptor has a diesel, and the brand new 2nd gen Ranger Raptor has a gas engine. The Wildtrak is also available in Mexico.

[@computer1166]

If ford will keeping the quality and reliability ranger production, in the next few years the aftermarket parts and customization will be huge to make the used stock rangers looks kinda Ranger Raptor👌

[@20smgreen]

I thought I read in one of my Gen1 Raptor groups that Ford had confirmed the Ranger Raptor for the US in 2024. Not sure now....

[@bigmando78]

I have Hennessey velociraptor 2019 - I have about 25k miles on it... My wife drives and loves it.... I do too.... I drive at4 with 6.2.... That velociraptor is fun!!! Look forward to the day when we can trade in for newer ford ranger raptor (c'mon ford)

I like this mid-size truck. I like the coil springs in the rear. Well done Ford. The dash, infotainment, instrument-cluster, need to be updated. Thanks for the review Milha and Cepin-Dealership.

[@jasonscott2187]

They have been updated. This is the last generation truck

[@rondail5675]

@@jasonscott2187 Thanks, the new updated version out in the fall?? But not a Raptor!

[@jasonscott2187]

@@rondail5675 It depends where you are. I am guessing you are in North America in which case good luck. In Australia all Ranger variants including the Raptor were released last year but if were to order one today I would wait about a year give or take. The North American market was very late to the Ranger party it was old by the time Ford bothered to launch it there. I think your market will be the last to get it once again. I don't know if you will get Raptor this time around but you would think Ford would want something to compete with Colorado ZR2. If this has depressed you and you need a laugh go to the Ford Australia website and look at the F150 section. This should make you feel better about the US market. 😊 The sad fact is that the purchase of any new vehicle is unrealistic right now especially a brand-new model.

[@oni-one574]

Confused as to why this is showing the outdated 2022 RR though? The 2023 is out and nullifies the old 2022 models.

[@ReverseProof]

Shame we can't have it here in the states. There would be one in my driveway.

[@danield718]

Ford will be doing a raptor ranger in the us. Orders i believe start in july. Trying to talk to one of the sales managers at the ford dealership

[@rik999]

Excellent review. Miha's English has a soft southern Appalachian accent, I wonder if he spent time in North Carolina/Kentucky/Tennessee or does Slovene as your native language accent your English that way?

[@wildtrak4x4]

Nope, I was in the States once for 19 days, that's it. I guess I just watched too much TV growing up...

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Great job!

[@freedomisntfree_44]

I want a raptor but the tremor packages would suit me better for towing and hauling

[@drewhiz7334]

The child safety lock scene 😅. At least we know they work. Good video overall!

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Yeah made me chuckle 😂

[@jasonscott2187]

I am not sure why this is a video of the last generation Ranger. I thought everywhere except North America had the current generation now. In Australia this generation was replaced last year by the new version co developed with Volkswagen.

[@chrisecker9341]

This Ranger Raptor shares the 2L diesel with the regular Ranger. Bigger tires makes the Raptor slower than any regular Ranger because the Raptor axle has no shorter ring/pinion ratio. The Raptor feels slower as well.

[@oni-one574]

Actual 'getting places speed' is about consistency though. Not needing to slow down for anything in the road, whether that be speed bumps, ruts, pot holes, people... goes a long way. The speed differences in any truck is negligible as they are all slow. Even the Ford Raptor R is slow at 4.6 0-60/-100kph.

[@davekent20]

This guy's good nice truck

[@kevinbarry71]

Great review. I am American living in the Philippines and they sell that thing here. Apparently it's considered useful in heavy traffic. Separately, couldn't you just roll down the window and open the door from the outside?

[@wildtrak4x4]

Unfortunately not as the truck was shut off😅

[@phillyspitta8147]

I think ford waited til next gen for a ranger raptor in USA simply because us Americans wouldn’t want the diesel engine wit it and the ranger brought here wasn’t built for America . I’m sure next gen will be more tailored to us hopefully with a 2.7t or better tho

[@B86432]

all depends on price thing will sell like crazy for 45k for 60k it may not

[@doublebackagain4311]

TD Ranger Raptor would probably be the only truck I'd consider as an alternative to my Gladiator Rubicon diesel. But oh well-

[@StarGateSG7]

What Ford SHOULD BE DOING is making a Super-Hybrid (100 km or 60 Mile range) Plug-in EV Hybrid Ranger Raptor and a Maverick Raptor, each with larger 50 gallon fuel tanks to allow LONG-RANGE boondocking/overlanding AND still have that EV Hybrid engine for stop-n-go city-driving for those tradespeople and contractors who want a more MUSCULAR truck for work AND play! The smaller trucks would work in the City better AND still be super-capable 4x4 off-road! I am quite sure they will NOT cannibalize F150 sales as there is DEFINITELY a segmented market in North America that is largely Rural vs Urban and Coastal vs Interior where big trucks tend to be used in the Midwest/South and Plains while the coast prefers mid-sized/smaller trucks in urban environments. The Chevy Colorado ZR2 is actually doing VERY WELL order-wise so Ford had better get something out to the market NOW because Chevy and GMC have VERY VERY GOOD mid-size products that are STARTING to eat into the larger trucks market on both sides of the North American Coast! V

[@larsbjrklund3180]

Last gen Raptor looks good but old technology and painstakingly slow with the 2.0 liter diesel, the latest Gen however is a different story. 3,0 petrol with twin turbo looks and drives amazing sadly only with 292 HP in Europe, but with 397HP in Australia and Asia

[@daniel0atk]

I wish we got more diesel engines here in the United States 😔

[@matthiashoogendoorn4637]

Here in the Netherlands we can already get the new ranger raptor, not the normal version though. That will come later....

[@C10sRule]

This guy is pretty good! You can tell he knows the guys online personalities well!! (Remember Tommy,,,, red tow hooks!!) 😂. He explained things in mostly layman terms so he is easy to understand and he has a unique style. This vehicle, mind you, was a little pointless, other than we won’t get it here in North America. Even if we get the Raptor, we won’t get the 2.0 Turbo Diesel,,,, or any diesel for that matter. It doesn’t matter to me that there’s no diesel, the EcoBoosts are great at generating low end torque and a more suitable for the North American market as they sit. Big HP seems the thing here,,,, gobs of excessive power regardless of what’s needed,,,, 😂😂😂. It IS fun seeing the difference that exists between the European market vs here. The Ranger is HUGE there (size wise) and no so huge here haha. Full size trucks are rare in Europe as we know them here. Here, in many Provinces and States down south, a full size truck is the PRIMARY vehicle!!! The difference wide open spaces create,,,,,,,,,,,.

[@StarGateSG7]

Saw the Ranger Raptor test mule cammoed-model in Whistler/Blackcomb, Canada last year while out with some friends (i.e. late 2022) and it was FAAAAAAAAST! An employee was in an early morning empty hotel parking lot and gunned it and it was probably the FASTEST 0-to-300 feet worth of acceleration i have ever seen in ANY type of mid-sized truck! it had a very wide stance and it was obvious about what SOUNDS LIKE a turbo V6 but was SEEN to have supercharger-like initial acceleration! Whatever is coming to North America is definitely FAAAAAAAAAAAST from 0-to-300 feet (0-to-100 metres) acceleration! And it is quite a bit wider in stance than the normal Ranger and can definitely take wide 35's and even 37 inch tires with a bit of work! While it doesn't look outlandishly different than the normal Ranger you can DEFINITELY TELL it is more aerodynamic at the front -- Seems like it has more of a Sloped Nose than normal! Very aggressive and MUSCULAR looking though! Did I also say it was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST in acceleration from 0-to-300 feet ??? !!!!!! V

[@C10sRule]

@@StarGateSG7 - gonna be a lot like the Bronco Raptor, but a little lighter?? That’s a cool experience you had!! I’m 60 years old and very jealous!! Hahaha.

[@StarGateSG7]

@@C10sRule I am assuming the Ford techs were on the way from the USA driving through Canada onwards to the U.S. State of Alaska for severe cold weather testing and the Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort was just a rest stop for the techs. What i can DEFINITELY TELL YOU just how FAAAAAAAAAAAAAST from basically ZERO MPH up to 300 feet (i.e. the size of the empty parking lot we saw it in!) that the cammoed Ranger Raptor test mule actually was! I also suddenly remember that it also BRAKED EXTREMELY WELL and probably stopped within 40 to 60 feet to just before the exit way which is UTTERLY PHENOMENAL braking power! It was DEFINITELY FASTER than ANY OTHER medium-sized truck I have ever seen! The nose also looked quite a bit more slopped/more aggressive than the normal Ranger and was wider. I'm waiting eagerly for it! I'm getting an F150 Lightning for work and a daily driver BUT I also need a 4x4 Offroad Weekend Warrior vehicle and a Raptor would definitely fit the bill since it also has a decent size truck bed and will be able to carry probably around 1500 lbs and tow probably around 5000+ lbs which ALSO works very well for me!

[@colten53]

As far as the next generation Ranger Raptor goes, I think it was probably a mistake to put that off. Sure, a lot of that production is going to the more popular Bronco, so that’s smart, but the Maverick will eat into sales too, and people who can’t wait another year are probably going to buy the new Colorado instead. I know I’m leaning that way and I come from a die hard Ford family.

[@spxram4793]

I am a bit unsure about the next gen Ranger yet, according to tests it weighs more than my Gen5 RAM 1500 ... or was that only the Raptor? Certainly not great for being one size category smaller.
