People anywhere besides the US: “This thing is huge!” People in the US: “Look, a cute little Ranger”
It’s so funny, I go to the US a couple of times a year on holiday and always try to get a full size pickup or SUV and they feel totally normal. - Tim
I know that’s what I was thinking. I drive a 2019 F-150 4x4 supercrew and it’s not a big big truck by US standards.
Imagine how Americans would react to the older non-American compact Ranger/Courier before the mid-size PX1 "Is this a dwarfs pick-up"
Wow! Come here in Qatar. F150 and GMC is for Camel and Lamb cargo.
Just remember it’s all about scale though. Our roads are a lot less wide and parking spaces are tiny compared to the US. So yeah this Raptor feels huge as it’s a lot bigger and wider than most cars on the road.
The Ranger range won the 2020 international pickup of the year award, you want a workhorse, get the basic Ranger, you want a more fancy workhorse, get the WildTrak, but if you aren't really in need of a workhorse because you aren't a builder or a farmer, then you go for the Raptor, it tows less and carries less in the bed than the other 2, but it can take on terrain and at a higher speed than the other 2 can't., it's the vehicle you use if you like going off-road camping or caravaning. that is what I think anyway.
My thoughts.
The engine is perfect for a long desert race! Light weight, better MPG, and dependable.
Wow!! My dream car!! I sold my hilux on this beast!! Love it!!
Very good Video! I just drove my Ranger Raptor on snowy roads in the Alps. It was big fun and totally safe, where so many other cars had their problems. Best car i have ever had!
Congratulations, great choice! 😁👍
0:05 *Attenborough voice* and here we see the raptor in its usual environment. Rarely is it seen away from paved surfaces.
Good review, shame you didn't actually do an "off road" review too, as promised at the beginning of the video. Off roading is far more than sliding about on a level grass field. And yes, in the UK such a truck is going to be very niche due to the BIK rates/lack of ability to register as commercial. But amazingly enough, the UK isn't the entire World. And this truck was designed for totally different markets to ours, such as Australia and Asian/Pacific markets. The UK also has somewhat odd conditions for load capacity. For instance, take a look at the load rating on a US spec regular Ranger or even their bigger trucks like the F-150. Very few can carry the weight (officially rated) to be classified as a commercial vehicle in the UK.
Are you 300bhp/ton on PH?
Listening to a European review a pickup truck is quality comedy 👌
Erm, glad you enjoyed it! 😂
This bloke doesn't get why it was built, to take on the Baja 1000, a 4 by 4 tough terrain endurance race, it can deal with being used on a farm as a workhorse, this is what the standard Ranger was purpose-built for, the Raptor is basically a rally pick-up truck, not a workhorse for a farm, although it could handle that too.
One thing missing, rear seat not have much condition air at summer time. But it was a lovely wild truck😉
lovely content
Can vouch for the off road abilities even in the cold slippery stuff. My m8 owns a custom hawk ranger, before global warming, in the last heavy snow in the brum, it just drove past every stuck or struggling vehicle.
Send him a link to the vid.
I won one of these 3 weeks ago, I bloody love mine!
Just before Tim says "I know", I say, "Thats crap", lol. Great vid by the way.
Thanks 😁👍
This is my cream car 😍😍
Have had mine for 4,500km on Australian roads. Great vehicle on and off road - ACTUAL off road, not twirling around in a paddock with traction control off 😂🤦🏽♂️ The only downfall of the vehicle come stock is it doesn’t have an air compressor to inflate tyres when actually 4WD’ing (not drifting 🤓).... Easy to add one, however. I’ll just add it’s easy as fuck to reverse after half a day of driving, too 🤷🏽♂️
Xplicid how good is it to daily drive?
ApeX Kryptargh great 🤷🏽♂️ Literally the only downside is one underground carpark I couldn’t access because of the height 😅
I've done 63,000km down in Tassie in under 2 years in mine... my daily driving takes me through the thousands and thousands of kilometers of dirt and gravel forestry roads across the state and I drive it pretty hard... I don't do much slow off roading but heaps of time spent at 100kph or more on dirt is where these things really shine... they're a little under powered but truth be told, most buyers couldn't handle the car off the highway if they had 250kw......................
I'm too late but I'm getting my first car and considering this truck. Does it have an ECO mode? Thank you
Ok its nice but when i sat down inside I felt cramped inside. So small! I’ll go with the F-150 Platinum 4x4
You were ever going to reverse into that bay first go from that starting point.
Did I hear “drive over minis”? 😂
nice video
Love the fact they haven’t stuck a fake bonnet/hood scoop on it, but give it time
Or a snorkel
I have Tacoma TRD OR 2020 but this RAPTOR kicks ass !! But waaay too much money
You gave up the driving seat too easily there Tim. Next time Christian rocks up in his 911 drag him out and say "my turn" 🤣
I’ll let you in on a little secret... Christian was flying the drone during the sideways off road stuff 😁👍 - Tim 🤫
You guys must've got a bad tune. It's tuned to perfection in australia.
PMPL paddle shifters, haha
COOL !!!!!
I want one. Bored with my Wildtrack now after having it for a few years
Stay with wildtruck - raptor is piece of junk. have one 6 months -each week stay in serwice. This is plastic toy . Alter 30 th km is not even car - noisy slowly 14l/100km and remember afer 20 th service change software and this toy cannot reach 170km/h -engine is very weak.
Normal people talking about offroad vehicles.... actual comedy
Please do educate us oh master! 😂
AMAZING ++++++++++++++
Having owned a Ranger wildtrack and now have a v6 Amarok its night and day as far as performance goes the Amarok will beat most of other 4x4' .
saltire546 amarok is better engine but no 4x4 low range
Your obviously just doing on road driving. You should buy a car
@@vevohoeyo Ha I live on a 24 thousand acre estate.
@@saltire546 it must be flat. Or you would be wanting a low range.
I get the overwhelming impression, the guy doesn't really like the Raptor, put him in a supercar, and he'll love it, but he doesn't like reviewing the Raptor, or it's just me. He had to do 1 shunt to park, 1, some people take more than that to park a mini.
How did you get that from this video? I bloody loved it 😂
It needs much more power to call it a Raptor.
What is the "One BIG" issue???
Did you watch? The fact that the load and tow rating are a lot lower on the Raptor than the standard Wildtrak. That’s a big deal for the reason a lot of people buy a pickup.
@@BOTBreviews I see. but if u need a work truck why dont u go for other ford options. I believe this 2.5ton is enough for this.
My mate has a wildtrack ranger had the bigger tyres put on it has the same 213bhp same ten speed auto gear box has full leather not as wide no fox suspension. But goes off road will power slide round corners and carry off road motorbike in back (need ramp) 33k not 50k lol
Chris Le Couteur but it’s still not a raptor 🥱
@@tomjacobstein8790 and his mate not him!
One big major flaw is that we can't get them in USA come on Ford bring them to the USA we will definitely buy them
I am not sure whether it was such a good idea to add the Raptor badge to a Ranger. Ford should just have added the 2.0 diesel engine to the existing Ranger line-up as an option to those desirous of a fuel-efficient but powerful diesel engine, which for most users is more than sufficient.
The Raptor is about far more than the engine though, it’s about that incredible suspension and off road capability
@@BOTBreviews Agreed, hence my feeling that Ford should have maintained the Raptor badge on the F150 pick up that is meant for more off-road activity than the Ranger. For the Ranger they already have the Wildtrack which they would have beefed up with extra toughness necessary for typical day-to-day use.
Bido Halcyon So, you know more than Ford Engineers? Go back to ur mommas basement pls.
@@virgfresco1403 That is certainly not the point. Ours is like customer feedback. The same is the case with any reviewer who gives a verdict/opinion about any vehicle or product. It does not mean that the customer or reviewer knows more that the manufacturer or producer.
I don't understand what you are saying? The Raptor engine is exactly the same as the standard Ranger engine. Maybe that wasn't the case when you wrote the comment?
This is the vehicle I play for most, as it would serve all my needs best, save for perhaps the Wildtrak, which is stronger, but the Raptor looks better and is more fun, it's still way better than most if not all saloon and estate cars, as well as a number of other 4 wheel drives.

🙏🏾🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
"drive over mini's"....wtf tim lol
😂😂😂 #sorrynotsorry
Ranger Raptor is great for off-road and racing but the thing is I don't really use Pickup truck for racing baja style, its more of a working car than racing. for a pick-up truck practicality Ranger Raptor is my least choice.
As far as using trucks for work Toyota and the old rangers are bomb proof, don't trust any of his new plastic stuff
Bring back the V8
not for me christian id rather have a porsche
HOT +++++++++++
Too many complaints about the raptor. Goes with most fords really
You mean most new cars, old ford's are bomb proof, my 03 ranger has done 210 000 miles and still on the same clutch gear box engine, the whole lot. And it's cheap to repair. Please tell me your not some one who believes in German engineering lol
after 3 years this car is gone. Wery weak toy , never again .
