New 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor review! The Ranger is Ford's midsize pickup truck and it has finally gotten the iconic Raptor treatment. It has more power, cooler looks, and is much more offroad capable. Today I'm reviewing this new Ford Ranger Raptor and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

I work for Ford motor company on the service side as a field service engineer and I just had to mention about 4A. 4A is essentially all wheel drive. It allows you to drive on the road with all 4 wheel driving the drivetrain. It does not switch between 4 high or low, or switch between 2 high and 4 high. It is basically all wheel drive. All 4 wheels all the time. It has a clutch in the transfer case that allows for slip so that you can go around turns unlike when you put a vehicle in 4H and get driveline bind. But I’m sure most people don’t care how it works lol.
If you work for Ford, tell your bosses to start producing some vehicles that are actually affordable.
Most folks need a bigger truck than the Maverick.
@@cs1992 no they dont. most folks don't need anything bigger than a Maverick. maybe they WANT something bigger. The maverick is enough for most.
4A is as old mate describes above. Pretty simple. Not sure why Doug messed that up.
I have an F-150 with that feature and I was wondering about it. I care. Thank you
@@javierpalomares2892 and you speak for most?
Doug is incorrect about the pricing of the vehicle.
The MSRP of the new TRD pro is $65,000 and the trail hunter is $64,000.
For $57,000 it doesn’t seem like a bad deal.
It’s also important to note that there are pretty much no options for the ranger raptor, it comes fully equipped and the only thing you can get are the bead lock wheels.
Fully equipped with no options sounds funny
It’s almost like the price for the new TRD Pro has even broken Doug’s brain. $64k for a Tacoma just doesn’t seem real. Our minds reject it.
You can also get the spray-in bed liner

He would for sure plug a car for sale on there at a funeral
@@user-wl9ps6pe1j the hearse!?!?

This!!! Is a casket.
We have had these for about a year here in south Africa. This is by far the best truck on sale here. Nothing is as fast or as good offroad. Huge upgrade compared to the old one
Very important for when you drive from white gated community to another white gated community.
Agreed, even the normal Rangers are great. My friend has a Wildtrak and offroading is on easy mode.
The crazy thing to me is that this is considered midsized in the US
South Africa has huge market for these?
@@AP-wd6dv 👌🏻
3:58 uh, $57K is cheaper than the Tacoma trail hunter at $65K, so not sure your math is correct saying this costs more.
57 for the 4cyl
@@maximilianomarin8521 Nope $57K for the Raptor V-6. Only comes in V-6.
@@maximilianomarin8521 what
You’re paying a premium for the TRD Pro because of the hybrid drivetrain and Tacoma name.
@@maximilianomarin8521 twin turbo 3L V6
I really wish there was a version with the coyote V8.
I would love to see a standard cab version of both the Ranger and F-150 Raptors.
Time for bed grandpa
@@arottenmango8505😂 bruh, he can keep wishing 😂 there seems to be enough room in the engine bay for him to add one himself.
But that means it might actually be reliable, can’t have that.
Uh, what are you smoking, Doug? The Ranger Raptor is like $6k-$7k cheaper than both the TRD Pro and the Trailhunter.
Even more! The raptor starts @ $55k. TRD Pro starts $65k
Don’t know where Doug got his price info from lol
I came here looking for this comment. I bet he filmed this months ago before Toyota had released their mafia prices on the 24 TRD Pro/Trail Hunter. My bet is Doug based it off the 23 TRD Pro prices.
The level of due diligence on these videos has clearly fallen
Yep, Trailhunter Tacoma starts at ~$63k. Not looking forward to seeing how much Toyota wants for a 4Runner Trailhunter....
Its a doug video. Can't slander Toyota in anyway.
Odd miss for Doug, 4A doesn't switch between low range and high range. Still a fan Dougie
Doug's the type of guy to trade in his Lexus cause the battery died. Can't expect him to know much about how 4WD systems work 😕
@@SharpieEasternnJeep Gladiator 2020 and Tacoma Trailhunter reminded me a bit to 2022 Dakar Rally Cars.
Of course you'll still be a fan. He's gotten you hooked.
He's been checked out years ago. Dudes just cashing a check and shilling his website at this point
@@16BitOG are u trolling or fr?
I was in Thailand a few months ago and these Raptors are EVERYWHERE there.
That’s where they are built!
I got my Ranger, not the Raptor, here in Brazil with the 3.0 V6 Powerstroke Diesel engine. It has more torque, 620 Nm (448 lbs.ft), than the Raptor, but less horsepower, 250 hp. As the Limited with option package, it has the same goodies for transmission, dash and infotainment screen. It did not came with the big off road tires, but with 20" wheels and dual purpose AT tires. This makes it handle very well and gives a comfortable drive. Also the 4A is like an all wheel drive that you can use on paved roads without taring up the differential.
Don't be confused. 4A is 2H 99% of the time and will engage front only when required. It is not permanent all wheel drive as such.
@@brianjensen5200 I'm not confused! Actually I do have a automotive engineering degree. Thanks anyway to be worried about the state of mind of fellow commentators.
I wish it had a panoramic roof like the F150 Raptor. Great for "off-road"!
6:15 here in the UK I've seen a fair few ford transits with the raptor grilles 😂
do people in the UK own transits for personal use?
I think those are standard or at least an option if your order a Transit/Tourneo Sport
@@pawsnpistons not in the UK I don't think. The transit trail has a similar grille but it's not quite the same it has the regular blue oval badge rather than the big FORD one🤷🏽♂️ either way though the ones I'm seeing are just regular transit vans 😂not sports or trails just the regular panel van. I actually saw one this morning on my way to work
@@mollymarsgal3377 not often. And if they do have it for personal use it's usually because they also use it for their business too.
I agree about the missing orange lights. Definitely a missed opportunity, especially at this price point.
I work at a ford stealer ship and no sales manager would ever sell one for sticker unless they had to
That’s the reason dealerships will cease to exist soon. Bunch of highway robbers!
At my ford dealer, like you said, we are not allowed to sell over sticker. We sell raptor r’s, dark horses, etc all for sticker
@@ryanwhite6783 can you help me order a Raptor R?
I actually think it's awesome it shows all the technical stuff on the screen. Especially them giving you an AFR gauge. If you're really taking the truck off road and working it hard on a trail, those kinds of things might be important to the driver. If I didn't have a need for a full-size truck, I'd absolutely consider one of these trucks. They look fantastic.
One huge to me anyhow thing you didn't point out is that you can lay a 4 ft wide piece of anything whether it's drywall or plywood between the wheel wells. They only truck in its class that can do that.
I have a 1994 Mistubishi Magna Station wagon thats 4ft between the arches.
The space between the wheel arches in the bed was a requirement of VW. It allows a euro-pallet to be loaded in the bed.
He doesn't usually pay attention to payload in most of his reviews. He's not a truck person.
@@billeves4627because that’s totally what we’re talking about rn is 90s VWs
I remember when the ranger was a small, affordable truck. Miss those days.
I think that's why Ford came out with the Maverick. Not quite the same thing as a modern version of the old Ranger though.
Maverick should have had the Ranger name.
@@jxcgunrunna I think the Ranger name is where it should be but the Maverick was always a car. Should have called the Mav a Ranchero or make a new name up.
Also known as "Tonka Trucks," yes, cute, but tough like a mouse! 😅😊
Just buy an old one
The rough ride could be the whopping 44psi you have in those massive tires. I suspect that is what is causing the harshness. That is a lot of pressure for those large tires. Someone thought it was a Mustang or something, sheesh.
I've own and driven this raptor for over a year and I can tell you those side steps are just side steps they aren't rock slides at all. (Malaysia, Farmer)
If the 4A function is anything like the one thats available in the Bronco it will not switch the truck between High and Low. Its kind of like a full time 4 wheel drive system when you select 4A. You can drive around in 4A and not worry about driveline damage or handling problems.
Funnily enough I just drove one of these a few minutes ago, and the video came out right after lol
funnily isn't a word, stop trying to type smart
@@bollockjohnson6156ur mom isn’t a word

Great review! Doug my friend, I miss your outdoor videos :( I don't know why I still can't get used to these indoor videos.
Also, I believe TrailHunter and TRD Pro pricing start around $62K, so actually this is way cheaper than those.
THIS truck I’ve been driving for 2 years since Australia was one of the first countries to receive it. It’s fun, and it jumps well 👌🏼
Ride was prolly harsher than normal due to the higher tire pressures. Door jam sticker says 39 I believe but most run 36psi for comfort .
Yes!!!
They were way over-pressured.
43! Harsh. I run 35 cold, 38 hot in mine, 20s LT33 tyres, It's comfy as
Yeah my RR was at 47psi from the factory and yes it was harsher and a lot more skittish, First thing I did was drop them to 37 cold and that in and of itself changed the dynamics dramatically
Thanks Doug. Been requesting this
Been waiting for this review. Sweet!
Look to pay North of 75k once dealerships mark them up!!
I guess I got "lucky" and paid 61,500 for mine.
They're being listed for sticker around here
Once they have a 300 day supply they'll be below msrp
@@dsrogersjrwhere are you located? In socal the markup is $15k lol
@@matturrutia1679 that'll do it lol. Southeast. Just checked and inventory is very low right now, lowest I saw was 1k above MSRP
Fun fact. In Europe, the Volkswagen Amarok is based on this platform. Still a cool pick up, very well loved in Latin America, South Africa and Australia.
Are you serious?
@@DTM45yes the VW Amarok is essentially a Ford
The previous generation Amarok was 100% a VW designed, engineered and built vehicle. The new generation Amarok is just a “badge engineered” Ford Ranger! It has pretty much no VW in it.
I was out in Thailand on vacation in March and to my surprise this truck was already all over the place out there….
They've been everywhere in Australia for ages... most of these utes are built in Thailand...
I was stationed in South Korea for a year and I surprisingly saw a bunch of these there too.
Released internationally in 2022, US market just late to the party
they're everywhere in Southeast Asia. the Ford Ranger has been going toe to toe with the Toyota Hilux lately.
He missed the ultimate quirk - the French fry logo in the front tray,, he did not cover the wireless charge pad either😢
This is my work ute here in Australia!
I have seen several of these around western Kentucky. I think their cool with the graphics package. I had to do a double take when I had one following me last week.
The shifter is strange at 1st but you adapt to it very quickly - We have reviewed this truck and love every bit of it
Love the way it looks, it’s a beast ❤, but the frontier is a great car too with a 3.8 naturally aspirated V6
It is designed in Australia. Australia has had Rangers for a number of years and this model is referred to as the next generation Ranger in Australia. What I can tell you is it has been designed to beat all competition in its segment and it does. Once on sale in the US those who drive it, particularly the Raptor will find that nothing will compare to it off road ( in its segment) and the way it drives and handles on the road. Interesting you mention that comes standard in regard to the wheels and tires, in Australia you get get those rims but those are optional if you want them, we can get another rim here if we want
Doug: “I’m gonna bring the excitement in this opening”
Doug’s Camera: “nice prop rod”
If it is as tall as Doug. It isn't mid-size.
It's big and kind-of expensive
That's how I feel. The ranger was a total miss when it's the same size as an f150 from 15 years ago.
@@sk49kk98 But that's the point. It's the size of what an F150 used to be, a long time ago. NOw the f150 is huge, so they need to make the midsize version comparable. Also, we will never see small trucks again in the US, not like we used to have, due to cafe regulations. The smallest is the Maverick, which isn't even body on frame, it just happens to have a bed.
It’s a small truck. It can’t tow a lot and has barely any bed space. All vehicles are big now.. whoever classifies this as big probably trembles at the sight of diesel 250s let alone 550s or commercial size trucks
the crazy here is that its a midsized priced next to a nice trim LT Silverado or for not that much more an AT4 Sierra
And guess what? The Silverado can’t off-road.
@@fanboiahoy260why not?
Nobody wants a sierra 🤷🏽♂️
Finally!! Was waiting for ford to give you one of those to review!
Doug is the type of guy that loves trucks 🚛🚛
Ive had mine for about 2 months now and love it. Also Trd tacoma is more expensive 😂 fyi
Doug review the un reviewed (properly)
THE MELKUS RS1000
My biggest questions are: Does it have cooled seats? And how well do the paddle shifters work?
Also, I would love to see the air/fuel ratio on my gauge cluster over what music is being played which is already being displayed on the massive screen in the middle.
Doug you forgot to mention the most quirkiest of quirks. The fries holder in front of the shifter! It even has a fries picture engraved into it!
In some markets it doesn’t qualify for business tax credits as it can’t carry a 1 ton payload like the normal Ranger
It also has a lower towing capacity than the ranger with towing package. It's a joke what ford did to this truck.
@@Maeousie It's not necessarily meant for towing, it's meant for offroading
@@Maeousie It can still tow plenty. If you're near the max tow rating of this, you should probably be in an F-150.
You can’t write off expensive cars. Stop getting financial advice from tic tok
@@bwofficial1776 That's an opinion. I stated a fact. Learn the difference. :P
You’re right, Doug - Ford should have put those orange lights on the front. I would remove all external decals, too.
Raptor lights are going to be the first mod most owners do. Clearance lights are what make the Raptor a Raptor.
And the daytime Running lights should be amber
owned a 2019 Ranger Raptor and a 2023 Ranger Raptor huge improvement from the last gen love the active exhaust always have it in Baja mode hahaha
I picked up my Ranger (non-Raptor 😢) and it had 38-40psi. Lowered to what the sticker says and ride was insanely different. Stupid dealerships
Agree with the comment about the three amber lights up front .. they're not required but they should have done it to go along with the rest of the line of raptors
These damm things are everywhere here in The Cape Winelands, South Africa! 😂😂😂 Like seriously, i saw about 20 today
I just love that the speedo you can't replace with anything more useful has _tickmarks_ *but no labels* except 0 and 130..... 😆
He missed the French Fry bag Easter egg- a small bin at the front of the center console where you can drop in a bag of French fries! Silly, but glad to see an interior designer having fun.

Dylan, this is a stupid comment using a dead meme. It’s not original. It’s not funny. It merely proves you are part of the few village idiots who repeatedly post this nonsense. Grow up.
Got mine last Friday! Loving it so far. The F150 Raptor is too big for my liking and the new Tacoma TRD Pro has a 4 cylinder so that threw me off a bit.
Thanks for all the great reviews Doug
I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m wondering how many times he’s gonna flex his arm and say muscular

Really, 4A determines 4 wheel high and 2 wheel high. NOT 4 high and 4 low.
I bet they have box tunes that you can unleash another 100+ hp easily. So awesome
Been waiting two years for this review
WOWOW This is considered a MID size ute in America ????? These things bloody huge in Australia.
Even in SA, these things are massive!!!
The standard ford ranger barely fits into the standard carparks in Australia. @Marc_prime
You should jump in an f150 some time. And it 's the highest selling vehicles in the US since, forever.
@ybaha1995 we've got those here too unfortunately, they're wayyy to big for Australia. In the last 10yrs or so companies have been importing them and converting them to RHD in relatively small numbers, mostly the Ram 1500, but others more recently like Chev and Ford's F150, even the Lightning.
You'll never see one actually being used for what its designered for here though and usually taking up 2 or 4 car spaces depending on how much of a jerk the driver is.
They're crazily expensive here too, all start at over 100k AUD.
The US is several times larger than Australia. We have room for large trucks. By American standards, this is midsize. It's a shame you guys don't get to experience cool trucks like F-350s.
Nobody can afford a $60k truck? I see $90k Suburbans every day.
Yeah they actually can’t afford those either.
@@dirkx2350 I mean, I can... So why not them?
@@WilliamFisher1 i guess affording has different meanings to different people. i would bet 90% of the people who buy this will do 84 month loans with next to nothing down, an 8% interest rate at best and are 1-2 paychecks away from default. I would also bet a large fraction are renters. Looking at pure consumer data, yeah the majority of people actually can’t afford it but think they can.
@@dirkx2350 I'll take that bet. You're projecting numbers that you absolutely cannot substantiate with data. I can assure you that the folks that live around me driving $90k suburbans are not renting... And why would we put more money down than required when the stock market is going gangbusters?
This is the best Raptor Ford makes.
Been waiting to see what you think about this truck! I secured an allocation in shelter green, the exact color I wanted 3 weeks ago. I was lucky, it was the 3rd of 3 allocations for that dealer all year, AND ITS MSRP! Couldn't be more excited as it's my first pickup truck and what is universally considered an "enthusiast vehicle." Its due to be built in july so im looking at august/september. I've been driving a 2016 civic since 2015.
Doug, we love you Doug
I cant believe someone from my country was in his house 😮❤
What about this is "mid-size"? This thing is enormous lol
Every "mid-size" SUVs and pickups are full-sized vehicles already.
I saw a ranger raptor come into the dealership i work at for a new vehicle inspection, pretty cool truck
I love how this is 'midsize' in the US... in Australia this thing looks like a tank on the road! Interesting that it was designed in Australia too.
I don't think so. I park mine next to a ram 1500 every day at work. The raptor is so much smaller, it's like 75cm shorter and 30 or 40cm narrower
I live in Melbourne and have only seen a Ram a couple times, and yes even huger. They're full size as opposed to mid size.

The huge ford sign on the grill is so polarizing
Good job explaining this truck will be better than the big one

Too bad the UK gets a lowered powered version of this Ecoboost V6 engine and in other markets still have the old previous gen turbo diesel even in this new platform, like the Philippines and Thailand. But hey, they only cost about $45,000 USD there and get rear A/C vents, which the US version doesn't get for some reason.
Dude you get to have a turbo diesel. Be thankful for that.
How come the us version doesn't come with rear air vents?
@@carlossony4064 good question, I have no idea.
@@carlossony4064parts. I thought it would be a big issue, but the vents under the seats work well
Thank you for including "you will get used to it" about the gear selector. While it might be an unusual choice, many people own just one car and after a week, they'll be fine.
I remember people getting upset with the Mini's unusual position for the window switches, but then again if it's your daily driver, you'll be fine after a week. Mind you, that's like 2012 though.
Waiting to see what the 2025 adds for this model, really needs cooled/vented seats as well. I'd like to see the swap over of infotainment like the 2025 Explorer did.
Maverick raptor?
I just don’t get these vehicles. I suppose it’s just not meant for me to get.
This Truck is an absolute beast 💪😎
Minor correction -- the 4A setting doesn't select between 4WD high- and low-range. It selects between 2WD and 4WD-high. You can drive on dry pavement in 4A with no problems -- you cannot do that in 4H or 4L. When in 4A, if it detects any slippage of any wheels, it will automatically engage 4WD mode as needed and transfer power to the wheels that aren't slipping. It's great for when the weather is "iffy" -- it might be dry now, but later it's going to get wet or snowy, so you go ahead and engage 4A and leave it there. My '22 Bronco has the same system -- I just leave it in 4A all the time. Technically, 2WD mode should get *slightly* better fuel mileage, allegedly? But it's so small a difference, and we're talking about a vehicle that gets 17 MPG on its best days, so I just don't bother switching between 2WD and 4A.
It doesn’t select between 2wd and 4wd high….
@@jerryelsea8126 It lets you drive as if you were in 2WD mode -- no binding on dry pavement. Then it engages 4WD when it detects slip -- there's a clutch in the transfer case that locks up to send power to the front wheels. So, yes, it essentially switches between 2WD and 4WD-high.
Funny these heavy fast trucks don’t come with big brakes
learned from a rally school, with these small wheels and tall tires, you are even more limited on brake size than you would think because if the space between the wheel and the brake caliper is too tight, rocks and mud can gather inside the barrel of the wheel and damage the caliper by impacting it as the wheel spins.
@@cobaltlukather9045 if a Miata can run big brakes surely these trucks can’t too
@@M3Vader they can fit, yes, but as i said, off road conditions may damage larger brakes. look at the brakes on a production Subaru WRX vs a WRC rally-prepped WRX. you want brakes that will survive off-road conditions.
@@cobaltlukather9045 I see what you were saying but I still don’t understand how 2 piston calipers would be any smaller to be beneficial than a 4 piston that is very close to the same size if not smaller and more compact (rotor size aside)
@@M3Vader ah, thought you meant diameter, not piston count. yeah, thats just them being cheap. just running a smaller brake at higher pressure to gives the same-ish performance, though it can warp rotors easier and wear out pads faster if you're hard on the brakes a lot.
Ultimate truck for who? No one can afford this
A lot of people can. It's everywhere in South Africa.
And zr2 is better imo
Don't assume everyone has your budget.
You sound broke
@@Anonymous-xl9pqwell that's nice. We've only given them 6 billion dollars over the past decade so I imagine the boss's over yonder are riding nice 🎉
Nice review Doug and great looking truck. How many Twinkie's can fit in the dashboard tray?
Joe Raiti reference :))
Doug, I’m honestly thinking about buying one of these. I’ve been waiting on your video on one. Too bad it’s not Blue
There are zero reasons to replace engines (unless you're living in a bubble, like journalists).
Ram went to 6 cylinder trucks, GM trucks are just hanging in there with the same old powertrains, and Ford just taking over where Ram left off.
Ram left off with v8 powered midsize trucks and aside from one year of Colorados, nobody has picked up on that.
Quiet mode sounded the same to me lol 15:48
I think the center gauge is perfect for a performance vehicle. There is after all a giant TV in the dash to show you non essential information.
As a European, this is definitely not “mid size”
As an American. It's cute.
Stop being European then
Please Stop be the European
Lucky you smart European can understand that the language used by people are relative to the context they live in or am i being to nice?
“Buh! I’m European and I make fun of Americans for everything, even though I’ve never visited and have no concept of what the States look like or what vehicles the citizenry drives.”
kinda ugly off first impressions
I agree with Doug’s assessment of the ride. Just took delivery of mine and found the tire pressures to be 10 PSI higher than recommended. I wonder if his suffers from this. Haven’t driven it since correcting the situation.
These were absolutely everywhere in NZ when i was there recently.
Midsized? This land tank is MIDSIZED?
*Mid size? its the same size as my 1990 F-150!*
Too bad lol
Your F-150 will probably outlive this new truck lol
That’s actually the thing I’m considering -- either something like this or a used 2000’s F150
I wish I had those rims and tires on my 2020 normal Ranger 😊
I have owned a new gen ranger raptor for over a year now. great truck overall, fast, fun, and great handling. The downside for street use are ther BFG AT tires, but still it manages to take sharp turns at the same speed my previous x6 v8 biturbo did because the suspension and 4A mode are so good. I find it very comfortable compared with a car, truck, or SUV due to its rear springs suspension and adjustable shocks. One thing that I must point out is that it has a considerable amount of SW bugs in the dash and center console dough, nothing critical but bothersome because they are quite frequent, and they dont go away even if automatic updates is turned on.
will driving it in 4A mess up the transfer case?
@@HiKielLiHi in the previous gen ranger it would, as the 4H mode was not recommended for constan high speed use. However, the 4A mode will kick the front wheel traction only when needed. The manual indicates that it can be used in 4A all the time, the compunter will optimize it in order to avoid any damage to the transfer case. I assume it desconnects front wheel drive at high speeds, when it is not needed.
