I sat in a new one of these trucks today and I must say even if I wont get a nose bleed from acceleration the overall package is very tempting. Its the only au available factory 4x4 that has reasonable ground clearance and offers everything I need from farm to beach. The price imo is probably 7k -9 k more than accessorising a new Ranger ute. As this is all done there's no time wasted taking to the various mod shops & legal to drive and insure. I also like the look of new Dodge Ram 150 60mm less ground clearance (360 hemi :) but the ram is designed for USA roads unlike this ute that was built for the Australian terrain...good review of what it can really do and it's seriously got me thinking!
being an Aussie and seeing the reviews posted by Australian car jurnos like Car Advice they have absolutely no idea and like half the morons here think because it has the raptor name and doesnt make the earth shift with power they have missed the mark....you sir have hit the nail on the head about the fact the raptor name is about its off road ability and that no other ute in the world can do what it can do without modifications....you have just gained a subscriber
It is a bit of a shame about the power (reminiscent of the 5.4L V8 in the 2010 F150 Raptor) but good to see that the true core of a Raptor - the suspension - is appreciated by yall.
@@T4nkcommander So what do you want to do with a bigger power plan? You dont need it, it's not a drag or race car, it's a off roader and a city cruiser. In the city you cant speed anyhow.
@@reubs91 it's got heaps of power... I've got one and it blows the 3.2 engine away that is in my old XLT. This car is a package deal, it's a monster on fast gravel, amazingly sorted set up for a factory car... It doesn't need more power... 130-150kph on gravel is plenty fast enough and this thing takes it easy.
It's great to see the Ford Ranger Raptor go through it's paces on the dirt. Power is plentiful if you want to play around in the dirt. Reading other views on the Raptor, the power complaints comes in regard to overtaking on Country roads or if you have a caravan in tow. A bigger engine would be heaps better and safer with better fuel economy than a 2liter twin turbo engine. Economy runs and especially on highway overtaking is faster and safer than the 2 liter twin turbo's. It's fantastic to see how much fun the Raptor is in the dirt, nothing beats it.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior The Hilux is no way near the Raptor standards... It will compete with the Ranger but the scores are tied when You compare a hilux with a ranger in my opinion...
If you never go offroad the raptor isn't needed. It's more than 160kg heavier than a standard wildtrak with the same engine, so it's slower. I don't really see the point of the raptor unless you intend giving it a very hard time offroad.
I live in the U.S., the only problem with this mini Raptor is the 2.0L turbo diesel. Diesels are great for pulling and fuel economy but they should have put the 2.7L EcoBoost in this truck. Performance would have been off the charts. But then again they may be for the U.S. market. U.S. is not going to get any of the diesels that are offered in the regular Rangers. Only a 2.3L EcoBoost 4cyl. Approximately 300hp and 280ish foot lbs torque. By the way, there was someone talking about the VW amarok. How German vehicles are better than U.S. vehicles🤣. I work in a shop. More germans have oil leaks than any other vehicle. BMW, MERCEDES, VW. After 60k on them you have to trade them in. They become rolling turds. In Germany I'm sure they are better. Colder climates. South United states with temperatures above 100°f in the summer's. They just cant hold up.
Tyler Davis depends on the vw and the owner mine is currently at 110500 n still runs good 👍 for a 12 yr old car did have an oil leak tho but that's cuz the dealer ship messed it up or should I say stealer ship lol I no longer go there car's been great ever since.
because it can do best of both worlds, be a monster off road and when driven sanely its comfortable, quiet and relatively refined and gets about 7-8 l/100 km
Ok, here is a question, why does the blue ranger look so much bigger than the white one when you are stood around talking about it. Was the blue one the f150 raptor.
While I prefer my F150 Raptor, I'm quite jealous of the superior swaths of offroading territory you Australians will get to appreciate in the Ranger Raptor. You'd think Texas would be great for it, but most everything is private property.
A phrase used by the late Subaru Rally Driver Colin McCrae. When in doubt with what to do just go all out.... go harder.... go faster without giving up.
ooooo im sure guys with normal Rangers just gonna try and get the kit to make it look like this, they should make this suspension available for ranger guys.. they are selling this bakkie like mad tho.. any problems with these so far guys?? and Ciro where is the kaakie shorts man come on you would have really fit in even more...someone please add the KEKE challange song for the end bit..lol
Disappointing engine choice ... it’s a bit like buying a golf GTI with a 1.2 tsi engine ... they should have dropped the 5.0 mustang engine in it ... instant classic
So they made a crappier version of the ZR2 yet better than the TRD Pro? Glad to see 2 American companies bettering Toyota. Still like the ZR2 better but they are a close 1 and 2 for mid size off road IMHO.
The problem with this for most pickup owners in Europe, who have or are businesses, is that the reduced payload takes it out of 'commercial vehicle' classification with all the tax and VAT implications that make it extremely costly as a result. Add that to the reduced towing capacity that is important to a high proportion of operators and the potential customer base is significantly reduced. In fact I don't know a single person who would even consider this unless the 1 ton carrying and 3.5 ton towing capacity was reinstated.
I've got one. My second. You miss the point though that hardly anyone will be daft enough to buy one in Europe unless they can reclaim the VAT and get 100% tax relief on it, which they will on the standard ones but not on this variant, which makes it ridiculously more expensive for any businessman to buy compared to a Wildtrak variant. Maybe its not designed for Europe or for serious work, which would be ironic considering its tyre choice and advertising.

I could be wrong about the Raptor version being designed in SA. Are just the Raptor upgrades designed there? The truck itself was designed in Australia no?
That Ford guy was so damn happy to be there
Just picked mine up today
Traded my ram 2500
No regrets 😍

Good to see you back Sir Ciro. Best car review ever
Your reviews are as good as it can get..
Always owned Dodge pickups, but this Ranger May be the first Ford that would get me out of a Dodge.

Powder Skier it’s marketed as a performance ute with a tiny gutless engine. Everyone loves power, to say it doesn’t need it is completely stupidity.

Love that bakkie..great report mate..keep up the good work Ciro. ..
Best Bakkie Money can buy!
Nope. Hilux.
Social Justice Warrior lol
So you are comparing the best handling (Ranger) to the worst handling (Rolux)? LOL!
There is always a twat who likes the Hilux, and here he is.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior The Hilux is no way near the Raptor standards... It will compete with the Ranger but the scores are tied when You compare a hilux with a ranger in my opinion...
There Ford Showing The New Bukkie Raptor Doing HUNDRED K IN THE OUTBACK . Smashing
Great review! Best one on the new raptor so far!
I like his reviews, so much better than some oz so called motor journalist
Unbelievable how you could drive that fast on gravel and do the review? Well done Ciro! 💯🎯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Legendary indeed...👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Love this car
Best review I've seen of the Ranger Raptor so far, well done!
I would have one on order already if it wasn't for the eye watering price tag.

Tyler Davis Hello....this is an off road vehicle. 370ftlbs of torque is huge. Have you driven one?
Finally a Ford that won’t need mechanical empathy!
🤣😂 🤣😂! love this guy, see him at the end on this review.
my favourite car guy. I still prefer the F150 raptor though😉
f150 raptor here in australia costs around 150k aud
If you can get one in the second and third worlds..
Calvin Chang it costs even more in Taiwan!! Fully loaded it’s almost 130k USD!
How much is the F150 raptor?
Rhys KJ 70 to 80k fully loaded.
I'm glad you pointed at things in that interesting shirt of yours
🤣🤣🤣💯 Cirro what's happening at the end
Where can I get the racing suit ?
Can’t wait til this comes to the us
That's A W E S O M E!
We have them on the road in south america about 4 years ago
Why lying for?
Thanks this was a great review, a crazy vehicle and thank you so much for getting Ciro back.
Ciro now I see the power behind Raptor
Excellent review and music.
Guess the ZR2 & TRD Pro have some competition when if it comes to North America.
That looked like so much fun
love how they keep zooming out to the drone cam and there is only one person in the truck
Dynam1cS ,,
Ford Performance. Crazy bunch of engineerers.
So do you think that the bakkie is worth about R 800 000 to R 1.1 mil?
because it can do best of both worlds, be a monster off road and when driven sanely its comfortable, quiet and relatively refined and gets about 7-8 l/100 km
Nope, waste of money. Highly unnecessary.
Not with that engine.
still it does wonders, see sure its not a rocket fast pick up, but adequate enough
It is only worth to those who can afford 🤑
Awesome review. Whats the name of the sound track?
Dude in the passenger seat is like "C'mon, Just send it mate"
What's the price of this Ranger Raptor?
In Malaysia especially in Sabah and Sarawak..we prefer to Toyota car's.. compared to other brands for off-roads..
Anyone else notice the bumper jiggle at 0:58? Doubt that is intended...
BTW did u hear any news about the Everest Raptor? Is it coming?
Did he say the engine is just 2.0 litres???
Is the new Ranger Raptor based on the 2019 Ranger?
I wish this was feature length.
amazing review
I think this guy is invited next year too...
I have Ford Everest And i love it so much Love this Truck too It’s Gorgeous ♥️🍻
Meljem Siguenza I have Everest xlt. what do you love about it?
Waiting for the Raptor Everest ;-)
TubeChat yes me too It’s Nice Engine twin turbo 2.0 🚘🍻
The Raptor first came out in the us
Ford F150 .Beautiful grille on the american model

Lyk vir my nog teveel na n ranger en te min na n raptor.het mooier bakkie verwag
In love with it
I love my bucky, its a Ford Ranger Raptor :D
How do you keep talking at that speed?
what does he mean when he said " if in doubt, flat out" ?
A phrase used by the late Subaru Rally Driver Colin McCrae. When in doubt with what to do just go all out.... go harder.... go faster without giving up.
But whats the price going to be in SA?
Probably around 800K
Brilliant guys!
Ciro have you considered giving some of your fire to the Proteas? Top review, jiggle included!!!
Then imagine what a F150 raptor would feel like !!
compare this raptor to raptor made in thailand please... im planning to buy one in the philippines. need inputs. thank you guys.
I want one!
I am working in Dubai as an expat when I get back home to South Africa I am buying me this
Private property the size of Ireland???🤔🤔🤔🤔interesting....(calls Ramaphosa and ask about land expropriation progress☻)
ooooo im sure guys with normal Rangers just gonna try and get the kit to make it look like this, they should make this suspension available for ranger guys.. they are selling this bakkie like mad tho.. any problems with these so far guys?? and Ciro where is the kaakie shorts man come on you would have really fit in even more...someone please add the KEKE challange song for the end bit..lol
"Nah, hit it! Gopher it!"
Cool little truck. Now to get down to business. Please Toyota bring out a long travel supercharged Tacoma!!!!!!!
Naah, Toyota has a real truck, its called a Hilux, much tougher, but yes they should bring out a TRD to compete.
It'd be interesting to see this against the v6 Chevy Colorado ZR2! :)
Two different vehicles not competing with each other.
LOL.. THE SUSPENSION IS THE JEWEL..
I love it
How much is it in Dollars?
Gambu 53k
Raptor N1
I’m an American I’ve owned the F-150 Raptor that car needs more power
İyi görünüyor umarım fiyatıda ulaşılabilir olur
Very nice design.. but Im worried about its reliability..
That was cool
In Europe it got 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine ... come on!
Thw lights doesnt look anything like the amarican model
The american model looks much more
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Disappointing engine choice ... it’s a bit like buying a golf GTI with a 1.2 tsi engine ... they should have dropped the 5.0 mustang engine in it ... instant classic
Amazing!!!!
Your rival Mitsubishi Triton,make also its own version Of Ranger Raptor,and I think Mitsubishi can do that.
That one driven by the profesional driver didnt look stock with the roll cage.
I think It's a wake up call for Toyota TRD division to get serious
So they made a crappier version of the ZR2 yet better than the TRD Pro? Glad to see 2 American companies bettering Toyota. Still like the ZR2 better but they are a close 1 and 2 for mid size off road IMHO.
So us in Austrailia would know what a 'Bakkie" is?
It's a "Ute" for you
Its not an Australian review...
Superb
Give us a V6 turbo version
They took a Bantam as well
man I want one
That thing would be in the shop afrer a couple of those runs
V6? 🤔🤔
MX-250-LIFE =v20
Bring it on.......

Simple, don't buy it, buy a regular Ranger, this one was not designed for you.

$75,000 for a mid size pick up with a 4 cylinder let that sink in.
