Ford Ranger Raptor review | Is it the best of the pick-up world? 

Double glazing 👏🏻

- I am also somewhat disappointed that there is no remote starting option on the remote like the USA versions. - And even no central window locking and only driver windows has automatic fully open/close function. - No idea why my text suddenly turned red. - 10-gear automatic is great. But do I use the flippers???? - Added a piggyback chip which promises 256HP and 656Nm. Which is a great number for this car. A bit mor and it would just start skidding, and that's not the purpose of this vehicle. - And Oh yeah, I get challenged very often when leaving my town. By almost any type of car, though mainly sporty ones including Range Rover Sports HSE. But they simple win by reaching the first speedbump. Only to see me jumping past, 4 wheels in the air without any problem. FUN. - Just a great, great car. As long as you don't live in a city. - The closest to a monster truck off the shelf. And every kid loves it. And so am I. For some picture just search for PuraLeñ on Google. Might do a full year owner review later. - Ah, and the Ford Sync 3.3 can be updated rather easily through internet sites. Simply said. Its a car which I want to keep for a long long time. And off road, the faster, the better. And without speed traps. Which would be useless anyway by the amount of dust it throws up. So following isn't possible either and close in within a mile. - Pure fun. And literally a big boys toy.

Wow, you’ve been clever with the mods. Love that nose dipping too it just makes you feel like you’re in a beast ☺️

Big by Euro standards though

Thanks for checking it out

Hey Mark, looking into getting one of these myself but it will be for pulling a trailer with 2/2.5 ton at a time. Any experience with this weight behind it with regards to power etc? Cheers

Thanks for checking it out 🇺🇸

Yeah I really wish they would sell them in USA not everyone here wants a F150 raptor they are too big

@@paulpeters5199 Too heavy on gas too.

Pics look good!

A brilliant machine

I swear wtf is this not in the us?? Wtf is Ford thinking man

@@Mr.Thermistor7228 It's already an old platform about to be replaced, it also has a diesel motor not likely to meet US emissions. The current T6 Ranger platform won't currently fit a V6 motor needed for the US market. Those things probably prevented it from being sold here, but at least we will get the next gen.

School run ? Considering a Navara over a Ranger Raptor ? You should be driving a Great Wall or a Kia 🤣

The Navarra is not even close. It feels ancient and basic in comparison.

Just buy a 4wd car with some winters. A mate of mine has a 2wd Nissan Elgrand 3.5v6 with winters on, its fine

Ireland isn’t in the UK

@@NobbyOnCarsstill under the same car regulations and laws along with Europe. I wish we had the US trucks over this way

Cheers Liam, great to have another Irish reviewer on board! It does the school drop off in its sleep ;)

My 2020 ford ranger XLT FX4 with 2.3 4cyl. Eco has about 250hp and about 280ft lbs of torque at the wheels and it's 0-60 is 7.4 seconds and govs at 110mph with throttle left

Ridgeline doesn't count

Thanks for watching!

Nothing to be proud of,t he body work sucks. Looks absolutely pathetic. I mean the small size of the front grill and headlights is just stupid.

@@YTviewer118 Well I like the design of the older Honda ridgeline. I wonder what you think to it

@@josephcullen2512 Equally as shit.

@@YTviewer118 heheh any you do like

@@josephcullen2512 Ford Raptor (US Model) Chevy Silverado Dodge RAM

Or just sold it in the US too you mean

Thanks for checking it out - I can see why you'd love it a year on!

I’ve a 202 wildtrak but want this

Where do you live that needs a truck like this?

@@mamba101 The purchase of this truck was by no means a question of needs. We live in Vienna, Austria and we basically do not need a car at all but my family and i decided that if we go for another car it must be one primarely for the fun. Yes, it is safe, it is comfortable, it is spacy but above all, it is pure fun!

Edward Malone I’ve mine cause I pull 4tonne every other week and the wildtrak does it jo bother

Sounds like proper fun!

For sure!

In Ireland this is a huge vehicle. Barely fits on country roads 😂. I've an American cousin and he says the exact same thing when he visits Ireland, says all the picks up are tiny. Amazing lol

Thanks!

I wouldn't freak out as I love vehicles, you must appreciate that an F450 just isn't a vehicle that you can buy or is needed in a country like Ireland.

It's not a mid size truck anymore. They are full size

@@johncuervo3019 No,it's still smaller dimensionally than the F-150.

@@pfdrtom thanks

enjoy it!

Hey robin. Can they be taxed commercially in Ireland.?

@@davidchandler9642 Sorry dude, I’m not in Ireland, I live in SE England. In answer to your question partially they are not classed as a comercial vehicle due to the weight carrying limit in the rear tub. My Wildtrak has a rear carrying capacity of over 1000kg so classified as a comercial vehicle. (Keeping it as it’s a fantastic truck). My new raptor has a rear carrying limit of around 680kg so is not classed as a comercial vehicle unfortunately. The towing capacity is also not 3.5ton like the Wildtrak. With the raptor you can’t claim all the VAT back either. Hope that helps and I will be doing a full side by side review of both the raptor and Wildtrak side by side on my other RU-vid Chanel The Vintage Restorer when the raptor arrives in a few weeks time.

@@robinandrew5776 thanks robin

Yes and for example in Ireland, F150 isn’t even available

Afraid not!

Rules of the road apply to filming reviews I’m afraid.

No it dosnt..go buy the the full-size then

I've just been watching Jay Leno hitch a ride with George W in an F150 - now that's a truck!!

Dublin. Three Rock!

Try to drive Raptor and experience how the Fox suspension works. Standard Renger can't even be compared to Raptor. I have done 70k in just over one year, mostly road drive. More I drive this truck more I like it.

more off roading in the US than anywhere else....smh....lol

I am yeah you clown

Conquer grey

@@NobbyOnCars Thank you i have the blue on test but not sure about getting the Raptor or the dmax at35. More tech in the dmax.

Because the ignition is in standby 🤷🏼‍♂️

Glad you enjoyed it, good luck tonight!!

Don’t have a desert in the middle of Ireland to drive around in, sorry.

@@NobbyOnCars if you did I'd say that this global warming thing might just be more serious than i thought!😉

Yes

yeah thats a fail. huge part of the higher end sport trucks is how great the suspension systems are in these trucks.

They’re one of the best out there.

@@NobbyOnCars i finally bought one but I have an issue where I put it in reverse and it thinks I’m towing a trailer. I got no guided lines or beebs

Not me personally... but I'd imagine the comment has been thrown at a driver or two

Understand what? Why won't they? Unitl then I stick with my manual Tacomas

@@terrynichol577 pricing one out would put it's price in line with the F150 Raptor. People aren't going to go for that. That and they're committed to the diesel. Diesels aren't huge sellers in the US outside of 3/4 tons. The F150 3.0L Powerstroke sales arent the greatest. The Ranger just wouldn't move numbers here being in the 60k range. Just repeating what I was told at Fords Performance school.

@@Ryan40272 I agree about the diesel. Just bring the Gasser to Canada

They’re cool!!

Just the normal Ranger etc
