I bought my husband one of these last year and he loves it. He never complains it doesn't have enough power. He says it is the greatest car he has EVER owned and he has had some nice vehicles. A Cadillac Eldorado, Pontiac Trans Am, Ford Mustang, Chevy Blazer, Jeep Wrangler, Lexus 300 SE, and a BMW 750IL. The Ranger Raptor was a wedding anniversary present. Now I can't wait to see what he gets me next year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
Picked my ranger raptor out last September. Was skeptical about the engine power but after driving it for awhile I can comfortably say it has more than enough power for everyday driving. My only con about it is I wish it had more torque because it does not shine when trying to over take at around 100-120km/h That being said, hands down best truck for me
I'm buying the old model with 2.0 diesel even there will be a 3.0V6 available shortly. New model is nice, loaded with new tech, but kind of useless tech. Only real pros of the new one are matrix led lights, more spacious cab in the back and more space between wheel arches on the bed. So I hope I wouldn't be disappointed 😀
For me the engine and performance are perfect. And what nobody has ever mentioned is the fact that the Sport mode has to be activated after every start. Engine noise by the way is reduced electronically by the sound system.
People bitching about it needing more hp, needs to be faster etc...its a fking pickup truck which drives smooth on the road and is a monster off road ( Baja mode for serious fast driving offroad)...if you want fast buy a v8 mustang or the likes of it
now a stupid question. would you it be any substitute to a Hummer H2 driving experience? i have to relocate and leave my H2 behind and ranger raptor is quite popular and gas prices are way too high in the place i will be living in for several years. so i think whether i should consider 2019-2020 ranger raptor as a sort of fun car for myself. would really appreciate your opinion on this rather stupid question=) thanks in advance.
Hey nice video man! But i have a bit of a throw back question. Did you have any problems with parking your m2 on the street? I mean like vandalism and such. Because I’m looking to get one but I don’t have a garage. Btw vet inte varför jag skrev på engelska bor också i Sverige hehe🙃
Unfortunately I don't speak Swedish :) but anyway, I had no issues parking on the street. I did it for almost two years and I've had no issues. An M2 doesn't stick out to much and for most people it just looks like a small BMW :)
@Tuned Into Cars! Hi man, cool video! I am living in Stockholm too and recently bought a ranger raptor. I was wondering where I can really test this outside the main roads. Can you give me some tips on places where I can go and drive full off-road ? where did you record your video?
You really need to be careful with that as offroading is only permitted in specially designated areas. I think there's a track called Botkyrka Motorklubb that you can try. I filmed the video somewhere south of Stockholm but it wasn't an offroad track. It was just a small dirt road connecting two other asphalt roads.
I don't think a V8 or a V6 would make much of a difference to the fuel consumption, 80% of the time. Clearly the 4 cylinder struggles with such a big car and that's why the high fuel consumption.
Despite the engine 2.0 is better than the 3.2, you would expect something else from a Raptor model. Maybe a V6. Even the Amarok has more power than this attempt of Raptor. The car is very cool but it just not fill the name it represents. Also, considering the price difference between a XLT and the Raptor, I prefer to keep my XLT and wait if Ford hears their clients. 250 hp at least. That's what you would expect from a mini Raptor.
@@TunedIntoCars Power to weight ratio the wildtrak 4x4 is far more economical and has more safety features but anyway they would have made the raptor an ecoboost rather than the diesel in my opinion
@@TunedIntoCars Dude you must either have terrible fuel or a lead foot because my raptor is very economical. Its probably my favorite thing about owning it.
i have no idea why people want the v8 engine(well, i do but...), they cant afford it now with the 2lt, the v8 will put it well over 100k, and the tyres are terrible on wet asphalt.... unless u like to drift, then they are awesome lol
well, it is a pointless car right? so why not have a pointless engine as well? :D P.s. those tyres are terrible on asphalt in general. the car slides quite alot :)
all the car reviewers fail to understand you don't need a freaking V8 or any petrol engine to have fun driving. You all sound so out of touch... Is easy to ask for bigger engines when you don't pay anything, you are just lent the car for some days and that's it. Please, understand that normal people with normal salaries buy these cars and use them on a daily or almost daily basis. Sticking a V8 on a ranger raptor makes zero sense, if you want that just import an f150 raptor from the states
Also, before passing judgement on me, make sure you do some research first. I'm the one that said the cheapest and slowest VW GTI product is the best one they've done in a while. So I know that you don't need big power to have fun in a car
@@TunedIntoCars have you ever heard about financing or lease plans? Don't get me wrong, your review was really good but not liking anything smaller than a petrol V6 doesn't make you more of a car guy nor whatsoever. My unlce is a normal person with a normal salary and has just bought one of these in blue. He is not a rich person and he can afford it so I don't think this is a car for out of touch people. The ones out of touch are car journalists, always asking for big displacement petrol engines. Some people actually buy cars and drive them on a daily basis. You can't keep up a petrol V8 in europe, unless... you are actually rather wealthy
by the way, the ford ranger has always been a "humble" pickup truck that could sell worldwide, not only in america. So it makes perfect sense with a 2l engine. If you want the big toy you have the F150 anyway... The "Raptor" badge doesn't mean its supposed to be stupid fast. I think car manufacturers sell us products with certain names and marketing strategies and lead to confusion and misunderstanding of the product. Anyway, keep up the good work, I like your videos
Dude, I'm saying it again, stop making judgements on people. You have no clue whether or not journalists are out of touch. After living with the car for seven days, I tend to agree with journalists. The diesel engine is pointless in such a massive vehicle. It barely pulls the car along, it's noisy and it eats up A LOT of fuel. And because it struggles with such a big car, in the end it's not going to be very reliable. I seriously doubt a V8 or better still, a V6, would make any difference in running costs.
Yup, he would. A more powerful engine doesn’t necessarily mean higher fuel consumption. A smaller, less powerful engine needs more throttle in order to move a car like this, while a bigger one needs less. Of course when you want to have fun and you push the car, the fuel average goes up. But combined, I don’t think it’s much of a difference
Engine package too small will end up like the Chevrolet cosworth engine longevity very poor stop playing with with small Diesel engines and build a vehicle that will last from years to come

Good for him. That means you gift was spot on!
He'll give you back the raptor
Wow☺️ what a awesome wife he have.

Me and my wife looked at a Raptor last weekend and loved it

yeah that going back to default settings after turning off is a little annoying. I get why and it makes sense but ...still annoying.
ive got mine last week, and think it has enough engine power for daily needs
Машина классная сюжет сделано профессионально я бы хотел иметь такую машину
I will be getting one by the end of the month , I can wait to get one and go for a safari
i wonder if its possible to swap the engine for a v6 or v8
Very good Review - and i agree with you, it is a kind of a lifestyle truck but also very, very capable an each and every road!!!
Amazing video; succinct review, great footage and clean editing!
Keep up the good work.
Ute!!! That's what I wanna call it 🤙
very informative. thank you.
Машина класс хочу такую очень хочу
Literally every Raptor video mentions that is amasing both on and off road ,so everyone is taking about it.......!

My dream car!!
it definetly is! i drive it since 6 months and i can tell you, i have never driven a more entertaining, better and safer car/truck!
Hey nice video man! But i have a bit of a throw back question. Did you have any problems with parking your m2 on the street? I mean like vandalism and such. Because I’m looking to get one but I don’t have a garage. Btw vet inte varför jag skrev på engelska bor också i Sverige hehe🙃

Is it okay to change the tire to 315 tires?
Only I feel the OE brakes r too mushy and soft, and there aren't many options for aftermarket performance pads compound to choose.
Nice review
Yea needs 2.7 twin turbo alot faster.
@Tuned Into Cars! Hi man, cool video! I am living in Stockholm too and recently bought a ranger raptor. I was wondering where I can really test this outside the main roads. Can you give me some tips on places where I can go and drive full off-road ? where did you record your video?

Yeah, you're welcome...
what music is that ?
I think a 3ltr diesel with 300hp and a few for nm would make it perfect
I believe I have the time on my side...I WILL WAIT FOR THIS VERSION!!!
Or v6
3L V6 300HP & 600Nm would be awesome
@@hanszeuner yeah and maybe centre diff locks aswell
It needs the 3.2 5 cylinder like the normal ranger
The 2 litre is lacking, yes. However def improvement in performance over the 3.2
I have both trucks. 2019 ranger 3.2 and 2019 ranger raptor 2.0 I can confidently say the 2.0 is the superior engine by a long way.
Should have done a 3.2 biturbo...
@@vevohoeyo dont you think its mainly 10 speed vs 6 speed that makes the difference? Id like to see a 3.2 perform with the 10 speed auto...
@@Roxak na it's a combination of both. The engine has a totally different power delivery
You are asking for v8 engine after showing a concern about fuel consumption of a 4 cylinder engine...
I don't think a V8 or a V6 would make much of a difference to the fuel consumption, 80% of the time. Clearly the 4 cylinder struggles with such a big car and that's why the high fuel consumption.

6.45 in the video the engine and 2500 kg whilst the 4x4 wildtrak is 500kg lighter with the same engine and transmission..
According to Ford the 4x4 wildtrack weighs 2278kgs. But anyway, the difference is from the suspension system I would assume
@@TunedIntoCars Power to weight ratio the wildtrak 4x4 is far more economical and has more safety features but anyway they would have made the raptor an ecoboost rather than the diesel in my opinion
@@TunedIntoCars Dude you must either have terrible fuel or a lead foot because my raptor is very economical. Its probably my favorite thing about owning it.
@@vevohoeyo what does 'very economical' mean? Tell us some numbers
try the sport mode
Well, I did, but that doesn't make it faster, only more responsive
Where you from?
I wish they would sell them in USA
They're supposed to be sold there too, soon. And with a petrol engine
i have no idea why people want the v8 engine(well, i do but...), they cant afford it now with the 2lt, the v8 will put it well over 100k, and the tyres are terrible on wet asphalt.... unless u like to drift, then they are awesome lol
well, it is a pointless car right? so why not have a pointless engine as well? :D

How come the Amorok can have a 3.0 v6 in it then?
Different company and different car? 🤷🏻♂️
@@TunedIntoCars diff. technology.

Did the kid from the video manage to get into the car by it self or you need to lift the kids?
Yes. There's a step to help you climb inside the car.
Vart någonstans gör du dom ha videosarna
English? 🤷🏼♂️
Tuned Into Cars! Why are the cars reg from sweden
Because the cars are from Sweden. They are press cars
That 2.0 bi-turbo engine is pretty much crapt
Hilux engine fitted into raptor better
Hilux engine is good for Agriculture and Lawn mower,
Engine package too small will end up like the Chevrolet cosworth engine longevity very poor stop playing with with small Diesel engines and build a vehicle that will last from years to come
They should have opted with 3.0 or 3.2 it would have been damn perfect. But still I would purchase it lol.
For me I feel it would have been great if they given the F-150 Raptor the V8 and the Ranger Raptor the V6. What would have gone wrong with that?
