    "Where do you want us to go in this truck?" I would say your testing grounds in Eastern WA. is pretty bad ass. Moses Lake would be a fantastic place for this truck to open up and run the way it was meant to. No scratchy trees around ya. Perhaps Tahuya. Capital Forest has some good power line spots. Elbe Hills would be a challenge, but it has some tight, narrow trails. Seems it has really changed for more custom mades than street rigs now. Douglas Creek would be a nice drive/road trip for you. Scenic and when you get there, there are areas that would be fun to test out your articulation. Just a few ideas for local trips.

    The RR is awesome but $80000 plus Canadian is outrageous to me especially when I can get a fully loaded Colorado ZR2 for $65000. I know it's probably more fun to drive with the 3.0 V6 but the price difference is a bit much.

    • @jxwhit8
      @jxwhit8 Месяц назад

      Yeah... i saw the videos trying to compare a regular Gen4 Tacoma to Ranger Raptor. Not an apples to apples comparison. Remember... the i-force max torque is available at only 1700 RPM and sustains until 4200 rpm... which means you will actually get useful power. The Ranger Raptor doesn't tap into is peak torque until 3500 rpm. This results in a much zippier feel off the line and on the trails when you need it. It's probably true the raptor will beat the pro/trailhunter in a baja race environment, but everywhere else... I think the taco reigns supreme.

I made the mistake in past paying 10K over on a bronco badlands, never again!! i am used to full size Fords (150, 250, Tremor) but i am very impressed with this midsize truck. it is definitely easy to park compared to my big ole trucks lol

    Seems like a great truck!! My one issue with the F150 Raptor is its size. It is going to collect a lot of AZ pinstripes, and it’s a pain in parking lots.
    The Ranger Raptor seems to be a perfect size for off-roading. Can’t wait to see further reviews after its broke in.
    My knock against this is the lockers being in a touch screen. I wish they had their own physical switches/buttons. The more you have to use touch screens the more distractions you have as you toggle the screens and try to read what’s what. A simple button is better in my opinion.
    Does it have trail turn assist? That would be a great feature to have.

    17:20 get a screen protector. They were available on amazon before the vehicles were available on the US. I got mine from amazon last year (car's in europe)

    If you can get one at MSRP, this truck is such a value buy. That said, as a Ranger Tremor owner, and not being able to pay cash, it is not worth it to upgrade with rates what they are. What the Ranger Raptor wont fix is my wife wanting a larger interior, if it had that, then maybe I could justify it. I know the Honda Ridgeline is not the same class of truck, but man they have the best interior of the mid-size.

      I have a hard time attaching value to anything nowadays, considering 6 years ago an F150 Raptor was $55k...

    weird question. rc cars have a speed controller and when the truck hits an obstacle, it auto gives it power and controls how much power is used to maintain the same rate of speed that was being inputted by the throttle. I hear in your reviews to get over obstacles, of course you have to give it a little more throttle, but wondering if there is some speed control for full size trucks.

    I went up one of the toughest tracks in my 2022 Power Wagon with 3'7's and King suspension and when I got to the top, I found a Outbaclk Wilderness with a lift kit sitting there and it blew me away. Like WHAT? I've not seen a Ranger Raptor on the trails yet.

    Better payload than my Raptor 37. I do like this Ranger Raptor.. just not big enough for our needs. Would be fun on trails fitting through spots my Raptor can’t fit through. Congrats!!

    If people can actually get theses for 57k that’s not too bad when compared to the competition. I’ve seen trd off-roads listed at 55k.

    Watch some of the 24x7 offroad Aussie guys to get some guts with your offroading. As one who owns a fully modified PowerWagon with all King suspension (and far more) I had to develop some 'guts' for offroading as well. Sounds like clearance side to side is a huge trigger for you. ANother thing I had to learn, and you appear to need the same, is LEFT OFF THAT BRAKE PEDAL BRO. The locerr and 4WD will slow you down plenty fast enough.

    It's hilarious that Americans refer to this as a 'small truck' - in most of the world this would be considered an enormous vehicle

    Get a screen protector and get some horse hair interior brushes for the dust and dirt for your screens and gauge cluster. And any piano black. It will not scratch them but it will dust them off nicely. I us them all the time
