Got my Raptor, 2300km on it now. It's amazing.. Was lucky with an earlier slot that came up. Moved my delivery up by a month. Love it. Went up the mountains last weekend, just normal, but steep climbs and descends, amazing. So easy to handle, fast, comfortable. 5 hours drive, 5 people and luggage in the back for 13 people (van for the rest) which in my 3.2 Everest would have been quite an exhausting drive was no problem at all driving the Raptor. Got a roller-shutter installed yesterday, Hamer. it's an absolute blast driving it so far.
@@ExxtremeJunkie Was searching for this video to comment on that, thanks for asking Sebastian. It's thirsty! I think I'm a fairly moderate driver, more of the "I drive properly, but I know I got more speed and power than most trying to show off their speed and idiot driving skills" type.. With that said, I'm getting 8-8.5km per liter of fuel..(EDIT: sorry, that's km's p/liter, just checked the board-computer, which shows 12.7 liter/100km, which is closer to the 11.5 liter/100km that Ford claims, but it's still quite a bit off.)..I've now done 4,100km with it, 99% on-road. Long distance trips like 150km south, 450km north of where I live and every day use. Every day use is about 80km p/day, city drive with some slow traffic to drop my son off at school (about 15km total) and the rest is toll-way/high-way to work with moderate traffic and average speeds between 80-100km/hr. Max speeds at around 120km/hr. I'm using E20 now, getting about 580km out of a full tank. Coming weeks I'll switch back again to 95 fuel for a while, (can't get 98 here) see if that would give different results, but can't see how I would possibly get close to that 11.5km/liter. Personally, I'm not bothered by it. My view is that when you buy this type of car, you buy it for the performance, the fun of driving it. If you're bothered by the fuel consumption, then definitely, this car is not for you!
Less fuel than a patrol. Probably not by much though. Depends what is important to you. To me a few extra dollars a tank of petrol is compensated by a better motor being petrol.
Now this... THIS is what the Ranger Raptor should've always been!!! I hope they don't increase the price too much over the previous version once they bring it to my country...
Excellent review - thank you - I'm def going to get one now - mind made up! Now the waiting game begins. By far the best and most detailed review i have seen for the Raptor
I am waiting for mine in black color. For me, the new Ranger raptor Is by far the best looking truck and the best bang for the buck. I even checked reviews for the new colorado zr2 and It Is still the best decision: better look, better materiales, better interior, better screen, more powerful engine, and better design overall, even the animations when you change driving modes look better. The new TRD PRO Tacoma Is looking promising though.
It seems 90percent of vehicles on the road are white or some variance of grey or silver. In my opinion this makes for a depressing landscape on the road. I would like to go back to the vehicle colour schemes we had in the 70s and 80s. Greens blues reds and yellows dominated. We even had 2 tones for some. From a safety point of view the brighter colours also improve visibility. So no I don’t think you got a good colour lol I ordered the code orange and it arrives on the 24th of October when I was originally told it would be March next year.
Quite nice and no rival in Australia. The colour choice was perfect. Tight legroom for the back seat and petrol engine are the drawbacks. Nice review 👍
Hi mate i have one one order get in feb 2023 build . Got plates for it FPVRAP should look mint on it . Still toss up with white which is my colour im sure i will pic yet to see one in the lightning blue . Your conquer grey will look mint . Probably change tyres as ko2 dog shit on wet roads. Great segment mate cant wait to see yours and mine
Got my Raptor coming next year so excited. the toeing had me concerned, but when I researched the items that I would toe nothing is over 1.8 ton so the raptor still scrapes in. How much of a buffer do you reckon you need for toeing?
I received my new Raptor last week and I still can’t stop smiling it is absolutely awesome !! Every moment I get I am driving it . Have almost clocked up 1500 kms in 5 days . Kids have written to ford asking for their Dad back .😂😂 love it love it love it !!! Power is next level 💪
@@daniellee6432 not the best .. but when I start to drive it normal and not want to drive it it in sports mode and take it easy I think it would be a lot better but it is too much fun to put your foot down and have some fun. At the moment it is sitting at 15.1 . 👍
They don’t really own one. Just in internet land. Guess the blokes are cool with telling some tall tales. Who refers to a raptor as a car? Did they buy the focus raptor?
One of the of the best thing about dude is that whenever he achieves something, he never gives the credit to himself.He.always respect us, the audience the most and his team too. He is always polite in every of his video .We congratulate ourselves for this achivement . More to come and everything to come. We're always with you ❤
And South Africans everywhere love that you included calling it a bakkie 😂 Awesome reviews, and can see you’re just as excited getting your Raptor as I am
After going through the video again, still love the enthusiasm of it Paul, fantastic job on recording it! Some differences between Australian / Thai version of the Raptor I've noted: 1. No Sway-controls in TH version 2. No Zone-lighting menu. It is advertised, but can't find it in the menus and there's nothing in the Ford-Pass app as well. 3. No Towing menu (no tow-bar also, even though the Ford TH web-page says it does) 4. TH version does have 2 outlets in the load-bed, 230v and 12v). 5. TH version does not have a ruler on the backside, but does have the clamping points. General comments: Had some glitches in software. Errors like Auto-Beam adjustment not working temporarily, and a sudden: Tank Empty, not enough fuel to reach the next petrol station! (even though the tank was 3/4 full). A simple stop and start is enough to reset and solve those, but goes to show that the system is not perfect yet. Auto-brake lock: I have the auto brake on, which puts the brake on when in front of a traffic light for example. Tap the accelerator slightly and it releases. But for the reverse, mostly it doesn't work. This morning at the carwash it did for a change, but then stopping at the petrol station after 45m. nope off again. Sometimes the startup screen stays on and hangs, and then projects the vehicle info over it. Stop and restart the car, because it's quite difficult to see things like speed, rpms, etc. Here in Thailand, I got a 2,000km 'shake-down' service. Bring the car in, garage will check everything and download the data gathered from my driving. It's free, and I think a good thing, especially with a car that will potentially see a lot of 'abuse' in extreme conditions. (I'm not such driver though). Ford-Pass: Limited so far. Start/Stop, Scheduled Start, Oil Life, Lock/Unlock, Horn/Lights (like an Alarm function)..Distance to empty (fuel), Tire-Pressure, Service booking..But.. No zone-lighting for example, Maps is quite limited, can't choose a spot on the map, need to know the exact name of the place to go. Very strange: There's no Raptor Manual in the App! I need to sit inside the car, using the console display to read the manual! Turning radius: It's like turning around a 10-wheel truck! For me that's the biggest annoyance with it. You really need a full extra lane for a U-turn as compared to the Everest! Guessing Aussie roads are way more spacious than here in TH, so won't be much of an issue there, but in Thailand it's sure something to keep in mind. It is big! And with that I mean BIG big! My old car is a 3.2L Everest Platinum. That was a big SUV, but after using the Raptor for a couple of weeks, switching back to the Everest, it really feels like you're driving a Fiesta! It's strangely light, feels very nimble and even 'quick' in a strange way. It almost feels like it's dancing around driving it.. Then going back to the Raptor, you really appreciate how it is planted on the road, almost glued to it, no matter the corners, the speed.. Rock solid..heavy, but precise, hardly any body-roll yet comfortable and soft. Absolutely love the looks. It's a beast of a car and it turns heads when you drive past. Enjoying every minute driving it!
I'm planning to move from AU to TH(3ish years), and a ranger is on my menu. Therefore, I found your comments very interesting even tho I want a Wildtrak or a Stormtrak at this stage. An Everest seems to be too expensive compared to a ranger due to Thailand's favourable tax treatment of Ute's. Enjoy your Raptor and stay frosty on the roads there, especially on those U turn points on highways.
What a magnificent Bakkie. At 77, if I was younger, this Ranger Raptor would be a must have. But in Red. Not dull grey. And anyway, Red cars go faster. Thanks for an enjoyable test. Impressive really.🇿🇦🇿🇦
After Paul's video, I dropped 50 years back to 16. Can't blame me, can you . If this tech was available back in the '80s when I participated in the Trans Kalahari race, Later Called the Toyota 1000 Off-road race. Man...it was murder, for man, vehicle, and one's pocket, Especially if you didn't have a sponsor. But what fun it was. life was so much better back then.
Great review. I got my bi-turbo Wildtrak today and am stoked I went with that model. Have noticed the same issue with the buttons on the touch screen doing nothing, but as you say it's a minor annoyance. Would recommend changing the screen to dark mode all the time in display settings. Easier on the eyes and it kind of makes it blend into the dash better.
Yes, it is possible, because here in the Philippines a Toyota Conquest would always pull a Ford Ranger Raptor out from where it is stocked. Raptor are just for looks, but if you want to go for loading you may want to consider toyota, isuzu or nissan.
An interesting test to do would be braking performance. And not just the one run. Do 5-6 runs fully mashing the brake pedal from 100-120kph one after the other. To see if there is any brake fade.. Because for 2.5 tonnes, the brakes do look rather small. I also think it would be a good test to add for further reviews..
It’ll definitely have brake fade. Most cars will with a set of consistent stops. On brake size, this is only marginally heavier than a V6 Wildtrak, so it shouldn’t be too underdone. But for any faster driving, I’d be upgrading the brakes regardless.
It’s good Paul you’re able to “vent” before you take delivery of your own!⛽️🚓🤣 P.s. I’m happy to chauffeur you around mate as I’m just on 6’! That’ll give you an extra 1” of legroom in the back!😂
Great review. Missing features I read someone say !!!! .... it is a modern day bargain. I'm going to repeat what you get... let's take a guess at the $$$ to attempt to make it into a BS Raptor... by giving away thousands to the aftermarket industry. .... Fox live Valve Shocks and tuned springs & Alloy wishbones & strengthen shock towers $8k, Rear diff is braced$1k, front diff lock $1k, all over stengthend chassis $2k, engine $10k at least, Bi modal open exhaust $2k, BFG KO2's $1k, semi race seats $2k, rated recovery points front and rear $1k, bash plates full length $1k. Then for free you get wider body, plus R&D to make it all work and warranty. A Wild track is $77k before on roads add all the above and it's $106k... Raptor $85k . So my answer to you... don't buy it, that way someone else can !!
Nice work Paul..... based on your advice, I purchased the baby Ranger Sports V6..... picked it up yesterday; very nice.... Not long till your own Raptor arrives....
This car is fun, it completely missed the whole point to be a Ute because a ute is supposed to be rugged, less digital and more mechanical to be fixed on the go. But damn it is a an excellent car for sure. 🤣
In what rule book is a ute supposed to be those things? A ute is supposed to be for taking the wife to church on Sunday and the sheep to market on Monday
@@solo-xbt too many potential things to break, those suspension refinements will get destroyed in the outback doing 4x4. like i said, its an excellent car, but not the greatest ute, the weight carrying is lower than the normal ranger.
Great review thank you. I ordered mine back during the Bangkok motor show, and still waiting, hoping to get in 5 weeks. I waited until day 3 and there were already hundreds of forward orders! Should be the ideal vehicle for many of the bush roads in SE Asia.
i watched your video countless time now, after 10month of waiting, I finally got my raptor, couple of weeks now, cant be more happier. its at 800km now, driving nicely its about 13.1L/100k, if you reading and thinking about it, dont wait just get it, it might be the last petrol twin turbo ranger, my friend works in Ford, and he says it might be hybird next. 😂
Wish we could get this in America. Even though there’s no real market for a small version of the raptor when you can just get the full size it would still be cool

You don’t want noise. The quieter the better.
@@jerrymyahzcat I think we’d be hitting different switches bud 😂
Who cares about the fuel consumption when it goes and sounds like that. Patrol y62 same as well.
Drinks more than Patrol no?
Less fuel than a patrol. Probably not by much though. Depends what is important to you. To me a few extra dollars a tank of petrol is compensated by a better motor being petrol.
Buy a Yaris and talk about fuel
Y62 would pull that piece of shit in half, there's an old saying if you cant afford a dodge, dodge a ford
I agree, but don't expect great road performance especially with these off-road tires! I prefer the Ford Ranger Wildtrack, not the Raptor!

Should incorporate the ramp over as utes are a fair bit different from the wagon variation.

Great truck but sorry Paul the grey colour looks like polished primer. Red Blue or Orange match the character of the Raptor
Ford stuffed up BIG TIME putting a different instrument/dash cluster in the Wildtrak.
It's so tough that Ford has had to fix Paul's motor & replace his Diff ... this things only done 4000ks 🤣

I’ve just taken delivery of my Tasmanian number plates for my ride …… PREDTR
Does the infotainment unit have a dark mode?
I find the white screen distracting
Agreed, that's a large area of light to throw your night vision off.
@@ankaris5129 yes
You cant believe me how many times I watch this video while I am waiting my ranger raptor to come!!!
Looks good but who wants to wait the 14-18 months I want given.
Great review. Missing features I read someone say !!!! .... it is a modern day bargain. I'm going to repeat what you get... let's take a guess at the $$$ to attempt to make it into a BS Raptor... by giving away thousands to the aftermarket industry. .... Fox live Valve Shocks and tuned springs & Alloy wishbones & strengthen shock towers $8k, Rear diff is braced$1k, front diff lock $1k, all over stengthend chassis $2k, engine $10k at least, Bi modal open exhaust $2k, BFG KO2's $1k, semi race seats $2k, rated recovery points front and rear $1k, bash plates full length $1k. Then for free you get wider body, plus R&D to make it all work and warranty. A Wild track is $77k before on roads add all the above and it's $106k... Raptor $85k . So my answer to you... don't buy it, that way someone else can !!
Nice work Paul..... based on your advice, I purchased the baby Ranger Sports V6..... picked it up yesterday; very nice.... Not long till your own Raptor arrives....
Wonder about average consumption of this nice truck ...
My 2018 wildtrak 3.2 is about 10L longtime average but it is diesel ...
Good to see lots of f150 features and tech making its way into the ranger. Looks awesome 👌
Really nice video,but get a drone if u can,some of those highspeed and offroad shots would look epic
Surly a Hilux GR or “trd pro” like thing down under ay
Way more money for less practicality.... Yeah makes sense.
I can’t seem to find it anywhere but does the ranger raptor come with adaptive cruise control ?
Yep, it sure does... and it works flawlessly!
This car is fun, it completely missed the whole point to be a Ute because a ute is supposed to be rugged, less digital and more mechanical to be fixed on the go. But damn it is a an excellent car for sure. 🤣
I think you have a warped view of what a ute is and how they're used.
In what rule book is a ute supposed to be those things? A ute is supposed to be for taking the wife to church on Sunday and the sheep to market on Monday
Yes nice, it is, But in this video, it is just about how fast it can go Ford is making a 4x4 ute into a sports car
@@derser541 oh did i? what have you use your ute for? speeding?
@@solo-xbt too many potential things to break, those suspension refinements will get destroyed in the outback doing 4x4. like i said, its an excellent car, but not the greatest ute, the weight carrying is lower than the normal ranger.
No you didn’t choose the right colour. I like grey but not on this. Very boring. Blue looks best.
would love to drive it also but then again, can't afford it.
Car prices nowadays...crazy
Why would you pay more for a vehicle that has less towing and haulage capability?
Because jumps.
@@CarExpertAus Jumps?
Great review thank you. I ordered mine back during the Bangkok motor show, and still waiting, hoping to get in 5 weeks. I waited until day 3 and there were already hundreds of forward orders! Should be the ideal vehicle for many of the bush roads in SE Asia.
To me these things are an exercise in excess. A big FU to the environment. Almost as bad as big overpriced EV
Maybe you are watching the wrong chanel😁
@@daweigo6851 nah, I really like his reviews. Just callin a spade a spade.
Ultimate vehicle for the pending apocalypse 😂
Absolutely loving it. Good vids. Waiting on mine to arrive, which is assuming next year June...hopefully.
Bring it back to its home ground and have a good play (Loveday )
Man I wish they sold these in the U.S…would love to have an extended cab version. Not a big fan of 4 door trucks.
I should of got mine in grey wow! I got it in black comes in October
i watched your video countless time now, after 10month of waiting, I finally got my raptor, couple of weeks now, cant be more happier. its at 800km now, driving nicely its about 13.1L/100k, if you reading and thinking about it, dont wait just get it, it might be the last petrol twin turbo ranger, my friend works in Ford, and he says it might be hybird next. 😂
Wish we could get this in America. Even though there’s no real market for a small version of the raptor when you can just get the full size it would still be cool
Disappointing that the Raptor keeps missing out on all the fruit you get with the Wildtrak. Including towing, load carrying and tech
If you’re complaining about the towing or load capacity, ill assume you have no idea how insane the suspension really is on this thing.
I’ve just seen an Everest in person and it looks great. I really hope they make a Raptor Version of that, I’ll
Def be in line for one.
Same
If only they could tow 3500kg they would be the number one selling ute by a long shot
Until you have to fill them
So now you can get a ticket for school zone... in reverse :D
What's the black bar on top of the infotainment screen for ?
I know I’m from the US, but him saying this is big, oh boy, just see an F-150 Raptor
Daddy want.
15.3L/100km it's a guzzler
