I crossed the convoy (stopped counting after 18 Raptors) in early may as I was in Essaouira. As a 2016 Ranger Limited owner, i must confess that I felt small next to these monsters...
Bob Flavin The new Ranger will have that engine as an option along with a less powerful version, plus the ten speed takes over from the six speed automatic. The main difference with the Raptor is the suspension, particularly at the rear, which is unlikely to find favour as is with commercial users.
It's the batteries they don't like, the drones have to be declared. So long as it isn't huge there's no problem. Nicest border people I've ever met, might be a Ford thing
No tourer is ever stock... You modify them from the ground up, to have the power and the reliability.. I seen one as a tourer recently and the owner loves it and owns a old and newer 70 series as well so has a base of comparison
The Ranger started as a full size truck then went compact and now it’s midsize... I still love the Ranger and f-150, but the Ranger is probably more practical and now there isn’t a huge size difference. I would say the F-150 is better for rear passengers when it comes to leg room. Can’t wait to see the specs on the new bronco.
el Caballero l owned a ford wildtrak 3.2 and it was a nightmare and sold it off after 8 months. Electronic problems and turbo shut down. Shit!!! Horrible experience I had.
"Enjoy your Travelogues Bob!" "Whoa...this is a car show...not a travel programme!" "Could've fooled me..keep it up Bob!" I'll keep an eye out for The Raptor in Bandon Motors in the coming months...plenty of Wildtrack's there!"
Yeah, which is a shame because the Raptor actually has a larger bed than standard. This car is still going to sell really well though. @@BobFlavinVideo
yes ford has spent a lot of money with this car but the engine is far too small with the little 2l engine if they used the 3.2l engine the ford ranger raptor would be a great 4x4. but with the 2l engine when you put four blokes in the cab and there gear the ford is dead .
@@danefireinspectionservices6894 at full throttle yes but not every drives around at full throttle all day. At half throttle the 3.2 makes more power and torque the motor is making the power not the turbo
@@tcmx712 Do you even research what you type, or just copy what other ill-informed people have told you? ( www.pacificford.co.nz/Page/103/ranger-raptor ) Scroll down from the top of this link and see the dyno sheet Ford themselves have put comparing the 3.2L turbo vs the 2.0L bi-turbo. Show me exactly where at half throttle the 3.2L makes more power and torque. 99% of the entire rev range the 2.0L has it beat from low end to top end. That all being said, I still prefer the idea of a de-tuned 3.2L producing equivalent power than a highly tuned 2.0L engine. I have a 2016 3.2L Ranger XLT and trading it in in a few weeks for a new 2019 XLT where I have the option of either engine. test drove the 2.0L and thought it was remarkable and the 10speed is freaking out of this world. But i still settled on the 3.2L for the reasons stated above. if they put the 10 speed in the 3.2L I would be happier though Point being, don't bash something without being able to back it up with facts or at the very least without having tested it yourself. The 2.0L has marginally noticeable more power when actually driving. The Ranger Raptor which weighs more than the Ranger would actually be slower due to the weight.
@@BobFlavinVideo probably not Bob! I guess it depends how often you'll be driving it to hell and back 🤣 The amorok is surprisingly capable but not that extreme I expect. Want one of each!
Rob Welsh what is the consistency of the pickup experience of VW compared to Ford’s one ?... Ford has been a pionner in this segment for several decades and has a recognized notoriety. Amarok is here since a decade maximum, and if only you put on the table a japaneese pickup (L200 Sportero or a Hilux) as a competitor, I would understand... but VW Amarok, why ? Because it is VW, because it is german?...
Great review - fabulous truck; well ahead of the competition. Toyota isn’t even in the same class with their outdated Hilux. Only suggestion is to stop calling it a car. This is a proper TRUCK. Same with Jeeps; should never be called cars.
I can only with clear conscience consider an all electric going forward. I've in the past bought 3 new ford trucks from 2000 to present. No more gas or diesel

@@countdracool1348 I don't understand why ford don't do a true rhd conversion of the f150 raptor. Yeah it's a big truck, but only with the width, look at vans and coaches, particularly in europe, they seem to do fairly well even on smaller roads. Having driven one of these for a couple of hours in southern italy, where the roads would be trails in other countries, i had no issues whatsoever with driving, and even parking. You just need to get used to the size, once that's done with, the rest is a breeze. And that rear leg room, for longer trips it's a blessing. Ford could make a killing selling rhd f150 raptors, as all truck guys outside the US would be lining up to buy them (at a reasonable price, not the £100,000 import companies are asking for). I guess they just can't be arsed with the extortionate taxes countries are piling on car/truck buyers nowadays.
Unfortunately it has a major drawback. It has a coil sprung rear axle. The issue with that is that it comes with a reduced payload as I understand it. Much lower than the one ton that qualifies it, in many areas, as a commercial vehicle with all the tax benefits that brings to the self employed and VAT registered businesses. That adds 20% to a normal Ranger's price straight away and prevents it from having 100% tax relief and adds a whole lot to a driver's 'benefit in kind' taxation. Nissan Navara and Mercedes X [same vehicle in four cylinder guise] also have coils at the rear but maintain a ton payload and a stiffer unladen ride in order to qualify as commercial vehicles.
Yer you dont buy these vehicles for towing and working.. you buy them for fun and adventure. Its like comparing a jetski to a commercial fishing vessel

Ford USA didn't want the Ranger as they thought that it would take sales away from the F150. So Ranger was designed for the world market excluding the USA.

Ford Ranger Raptor is not the best off road car... toyota hilux is better.... the latter is the 1st placer and the former is 6th placer in the Dakar rally 2019 held in Peru early this year...
These whinnies haven't drive the real off-roads. The 28 miles trip may take more than 2 weeks or the car may have to stay at the same spot for the monsoon to pass. The place was marked with bamboos with flags to make sure we can find where we left it and to prevent elephants or others drive over the car.. Then dig it back out before the muddy field is 100% solid. If the off-road drivers think they are so good, I will be happy to challenge them to drive on these roads. Morocco roads are like paved with silk though.
wagsbro 44 Besides, if Ford make a smaller version of the F150 Raptor, Ford should have used the Explorer’s platform rather than using that non-U.S. made platform..
@@multicons An exact carbon copy of an f150 raptor just with the size dimensions of a ranger would be sweet. There's something about the squarish shape of the body that makes it what it is. Or even just a true rhd f150 raptor from the showroom would be ample. I'm sure people would line up to buy them. There are companies that convert them but i'm dubious as to the quality of lhd to rhd.
They are a pile of junk and with the 20 l engine they are just laughable. Buy a 3.0 l Toyota hilux for about two thirds of the price of the raptor and you will be the one laughing at the Ford. All the farming community here in ireland drive Toyota and to a lesser extent mitsubish.
For the price you would pay for this the Raptor is overpriced. Interior is poor, steering wheel doesn't extend, poor leg room for the driver, poor engine performance. It's just a Ranger with different suspension.
Really? You have owned one? You have driven one for more than 2 minutes? You can tell me where you have seen better interior in a 4 x4? Leg Room? Im 6.2 and I have plenty of space, thats why I bought the bloody thing

Hopefully we’ll get it in the US in about a year with the 2.7L twin turbo V6...
2.0ltr diesel only in Europe.
Bob Flavin I’m aware, that’s why I said in the U.S.
Democraps will only let it go to the US if it has a geo metro motor
Why anybody in America would want a Ranger in America is just beyond me. Why anybody would want less than a V8 F150?
Interesting trying to park it in the narrowing car park spaces but it's a beast!
Just park on top of the car next to you, easy
Bob Flavin that has to add €10k to the price for that convenience!
Its not that bad, I thought the same thing but now Im ok with it
Nice change of scenery there! That’s a serious machine.
I love adventure!

Happy you visited my country !

I bet you felt something weird while watching just like me
I'm not totally happy
You know why,
i guess!!!
I like it but why is it twice the price of a regular Ford Ranger?
It's twice as capable? Actually there isn't a lot carried over from the Ranger
Twin turbo - $10,000, Locking Differentials - $5,000 each. Skid plates - $2,000. Body Panels - $10,000...It all adds up.

I would rather Ford sold the f250 or f650 here in Ireland.

@@thehunter9149 any luck
Sadly, NOT for sale here in the USA. Thanks Ford.
Why would you wanted one in America. When you can have the V8 F150 for the exact same price in America.
If the raptor only had a 3,5 l Diesel V6 it would be the best pick up on the market
Emissions targets and WLTP is killing off the larger engines in diesel, 2.0 bi-turbo is a great engine in this car
Why does everyone get hung up on size? Perhaps compensating for something?
@@P1SteveP1 in fairness 2L diesels are usually of the tractor variety
Size doesn't count anymore..............it's what you do with it that counts. 😉

Love the review... but just wanted to ask! Do you know if it will come to the Uk?
Yes it's due out in the Autumn both Ireland and the UK
Keep in mind that the US govt measures the size of cars by interior volume so the Ranger is considered a compact.
midsized
That's mental, the F150 Raptor must be big then
My bad
Mid-sized
The Ranger started as a full size truck then went compact and now it’s midsize... I still love the Ranger and f-150, but the Ranger is probably more practical and now there isn’t a huge size difference. I would say the F-150 is better for rear passengers when it comes to leg room.

Which is bigger raptor or wildtrack
Thanks for that great review Bob fantastic. M
Thanks Leo!
Were those tires aired down at all?
Is 2.0L engine enough? How about going uphill with passengers and cargo? That's what utes are all about right?

Torquey turbo diesel though, probably decent because of the torque.

is it a left or right hand drive?
Whats the difference between a ford and a tampon..
The size of the rope used to pull it!!
Because it can't carry 1 tonne, it's not a commercial vehicle, so you can not claim tax back

yes
sometimes engine
sometimes twice
Did you air down the tires when you were in the deep sand?
Didn't have to with the massive threads and tow trucks around, if you were on your own it would have been different.
That explains why that one got stuck. Airing down to 15 lbs PSI doubles the contact patch and makes these lighter trucks float on sand like crazy!

Ford Ranger Raptor is not the best off road car... toyota hilux is better.... the latter is the 1st placer and the former is 6th placer in the Dakar rally 2019 held in Peru early this year...
Without a V8 it just cant be taken seriously. I'll pass.
Car? Hahahahaha! Best off road? Compared to a Unimog? Hahahahaha
Unimog is vastly more expensive and rare than a Ford Ranger Raptor.
Haven't watched the video yet, but global warming is really taking its toll on The Curragh.
Climate change has taken its toll on the grassy Curragh, wait 'till you see what's happened to the sheep! They have humps and stuff

what is tirty,,,,,
The Ford Ranger is NOT a CAR. Please stop saying CAR!
Your not a car
Haha i bet you're from the US
I apologize in his behalf ...😊
It's a truck Bob shame on you !!!
In Australia it's considered to be a car!
@@benhuang2773 good for you guys
But to us it will always be a truck
Guys you need to flat the wheels in the desert you make the cars looks shit
Kölner Kennzeichen aber keine Deutscher Review
I was very early in the review cycle, I'm not sure when the German journalists are going out.
Someone call Toyota I feel a showdown looming
Toyota is behind the times. The ZR2 and the raptor run circles around the trd pro
Yeah, Toyota could be caught sleeping on this performance model, Ranger looks better than anything in the segment
I reckon a dirty old hilux would manage much better in that sand, but maybe that’s a weight thing. Horses for courses as the fella says.
@@rapidrick driving in sand is all about tire pressure
Bob Flavin wait till it comes to the reliability then you fucked
These whinnies haven't drive the real off-roads. The 28 miles trip may take more than 2 weeks or the car may have to stay at the same spot for the monsoon to pass. The place was marked with bamboos with flags to make sure we can find where we left it and to prevent elephants or others drive over the car.. Then dig it back out before the muddy field is 100% solid. If the off-road drivers think they are so good, I will be happy to challenge them to drive on these roads. Morocco roads are like paved with silk though.
Lol for the coin you could buy any other ute put fox or even better king 2.5s and not have to drive a gutless pretend raptor
Only l200
Colorado will be better deal once they add collision assist, push button, and electric seats to name a few
First of all, it's not a car but a pick-up truck and lastly, it was made for those who can't afford the original and the great F-150 Raptor.
Or need a smaller version of the f-150 raptor
wagsbro 44 “Cheaper version” and of course,, to increase Ford’s sales and profits...
wagsbro 44 Besides, if Ford make a smaller version of the F150 Raptor, Ford should have used the Explorer’s platform rather than using that non-U.S. made platform..
@@multicons An exact carbon copy of an f150 raptor just with the size dimensions of a ranger would be sweet. There's something about the squarish shape of the body that makes it what it is. Or even just a true rhd f150 raptor from the showroom would be ample. I'm sure people would line up to buy them. There are companies that convert them but i'm dubious as to the quality of lhd to rhd.
In Australia it's considered to be a car!
It's a truck😪
Tell that limey to stop calling trucks cars.
Why not tell the Aussies first, they've been doing it for ages!
whey you touriste show morocco like this he is beter than this 🙄
They are a pile of junk and with the 20 l engine they are just laughable. Buy a 3.0 l Toyota hilux for about two thirds of the price of the raptor and you will be the one laughing at the Ford. All the farming community here in ireland drive Toyota and to a lesser extent mitsubish.
For the price you would pay for this the Raptor is overpriced. Interior is poor, steering wheel doesn't extend, poor leg room for the driver, poor engine performance. It's just a Ranger with different suspension.
Really? You have owned one? You have driven one for more than 2 minutes? You can tell me where you have seen better interior in a 4 x4? Leg Room? Im 6.2 and I have plenty of space, thats why I bought the bloody thing
Definitely ugly. Unlike the F150 Raptor.
