The Ford Ranger Raptor is one of our favourite off-roaders of the moment. We'd say pick-up, but it's not much of a double-cab pick-up these days, because the sturdy leaf springs have been chucked out at the back and the whole chassis redesigned, with coil springs and Fox Motorsport dampers, to create a Baja-style rally car. It's ace.
Appropriately, then, we have a Bowler Bulldog, a real-life cross-country rally car to test alongside it. The Bulldog is the product of a small British company with a huge heart and a huge amount of off-road racing experience. This particular Bulldog packs a Range Rover V8 engine making in excess of 540bhp. And with a side-exit exhaust, it is well worth hearing.
Join Matt Prior in Wales as we test the Raptor and the Bulldog in as close to their natural habitat as we can. Plus a bit of time in unnatural habitats, with the Bulldog on a race track. Can an off-roader also be a sports car? Stay tuned.

Fabulous cars for enjoying rough terrain....... I can’t help thinking that one could get 90 % of the The fun with a slightly tuned Disco 2 (even Disco1), without worrying about the cost of the damage. Irrespective of how wealthy you think that you are, Discos 1/2 (and not Defenders) are tremendous value and really great in mud.

@jimmyfarley5581
@jimmyfarley5581 4 года назад
For the Ranger Raptor to be competitive it needs to be endowed with poke than what the 2.0 offers. The 3.2L 5 cylinder would be better. Better noise and a "Raptor" tune would see power knocking on the door of 300bhp. More importantly a decent slug more torque over a wider band without sounding strained. See BMW for 3.0L diesel engines. A 2.0L 4 cylinder diesel is fine in a small hatchback or 3 series BMW. But a large, heavy, not aerodynamic truck with power sapping gearbox and 4x4 system its left wanting. Had it been a standard Ford Ranger all would be fine. But by calling it a Raptor the name suggests power and ability. I think a diesel engine was the right choice for the UK. But a 2.0L without the grunt to live up to its namesake. Embarrassing. The yanks just point and laugh.
