Ford Ranger Raptor UK First Drive

Flat-Out heads to the countryside surrounding Goodwood (and the Festival of Speed) to put the latest Ford Ranger Raptor super pick-up truck through its paces. This video is a little more straight-up review than we are used to creating, but we were limited with the time we had on the event.
We hope you like it, but please let us know in the comments below.
As always, shot by the crew at Comex Visuals.

What a beast!! Number 1 pick up!!

[@Ali-lu5hl]

I have the car and it is a beautiful car it’s smooth and comfortable still yet to use the paddles

[@chickenclips]

the paddles suck, pointless feature

[@jackpumpkinpatch2119]

Absolutely stunning. Would like to see a comparable video with the Mercedes X Class 👍

[@FlatOutMagazineTV]

That's a great idea. We love the X-Class. The V6 diesel will pummel the Ranger into the ground when it comes to acceleration and pulling power, we reckon.

[@jackpumpkinpatch2119]

Flat-Out Magazine I think you’re right. Something about double cab pick ups that seems so appealing, more so than a traditional 4x4 now

[@deltapro-5537]

I have one...had it for 1 year now..18k on clock and had serious issue's, reliability is a huge issue.
Its a little bit wider? Its 150mm
10 speed is nothing to do with fuel economy! Its for off-road.
Fox suspension is a plus and good for racing on tracks

[@michakool7879]

Have one 45k km its piece of junk. How its yours now ?

[@freddysheppard6410]

Good review! Could you fit a motocross bike in the back? I’m tempted!

[@FlatOutMagazineTV]

Tailgate down, we are sure it would be fine. Depending on how big your bike is, of course.

[@adam_p99]

The dials look like they straight out an 1988 Orien.

[@andmondson8260]

2 foot bed...not like a mk2 I’m afraid. What is the point in a pick up truck if you can’t haul a load in the bed? This is a hybrid not a pick up.

[@paulwalker9732]

Ranger - workhorse, Ranger Wildtrak - a tarted-up workhorse, Ranger Raptor - not tarted-up, not a workhorse, built for off-roading, going up mountain trails, not pulling heavy trailers from farm to farm and across farm fields

[@michakool7879]

Escapings rains , muds, offroad when its rains- ranger raptor dry offroad car. Hehe.

[@tacocruiser4238]

does it have a front locking differential?

[@markwright3161]

Only a rear from what I've seen in other reviews. It uses traction control and some other electronics to stop a front wheel spinning in the air or when it has very little traction.

[@codprawn]

I hate side steps - they get in the way offroading and they make it harder to climb in and out. Ok for tiny people or kids I suppose.

[@rayjunsay2840]

Drive it first b4 you comment.

[@Tomherbs]

£48000 for a pickup!

[@FlatOutMagazineTV]

Yep. It's a lot of money.

[@codprawn]

I would drive a normal car down that track - useless test!

[@lucasville]

Some review !! - " pick up bed same as the Wildtrak" - NOT - it's half the size and so small it doesn't qualify as a commercial vehicle (No VAT reclaim) perhaps you should do your homework first next time !!

[@3_to_the_dome501]

definitely not a driving experience review. Typical review on bells n whistles.

[@techqueries3881]

I want one, but will be one of those twats who drives it around on tar sealed roads. What are the issues with it besides the price?

[@markwright3161]

Other reviews have mentioned a lack of on road grip from those offroad focused tyres. The back is more likely to set out when it rains.

[@timdavies8938]

Nice pick up but a very boring review sorry.

[@chickenclips]

what watch you wearing in this, looks tit

[@FlatOutMagazineTV]

Elliott Brown Holton Professional.

[@gwilko6452]

Only drug dealers and football players can afford this truck. Would have had ine if it was classed as a commercial vehicle. Gutted

[@Ali-lu5hl]

Dj Ed G not really I have it I am not a footballer or drug dealer

[@deltapro-5537]

I buy drugs only and have 1
