The Ford Ranger Raptor X is a fond farewell to the best ute on the market. The current generation PX Ranger is about to be replaced by an all-new model very soon, and this Ford Performance dual cab pickup 4x4 is now even more outlandish than before.
The Raptor X introduces a number of exterior styling changes to make it stand out even more from the pack, and it's enough to make Toyota HiLux, Nissan Navara, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi Triton and Isuzu D-Max drivers very jealous. The wide body design, BF Goodrich tyres and Fox Shocks suspension all give it a serious amount of street presence.
There is no off road review as part of this test - we know the Raptor is amazing at that stuff. This was purely a towing test to see how it hauls.
But what about how it copes with hard work? In this test we hit the road towing a 1725kg cherry picker - hardly pushing the towing capacity limit for this model (2500kg / 2.5 tonne towing), and well and truly less than the rest of the Ranger line-up's capability (3500kg / 3.5 tonne). How does it cope? Watch the video to see, and read Matt Campbell's detailed written review to find out more.

You people need to understand that Ranger Raptor is not intended for towing.
Raptor is made to jump dunes, go on hiking trail, and drive on normal roads all like a champion while keeping you confortable with somewhat luxurious cabin.
Towing is an added bonus, that should not even be really looked at if you are buying this kind of vehicle.
If you really want to tow buy FX4, F150, F250 or something in that range that is intended for towing.
Y'all need to understand this is a lifestyle vehicle that can be a work horse.
Same concept with the F150.
If you want to tow your load get the normal ranger and stop complaining about the Raptors towing/payload.
Nothing drives like this on the road, it's the best in class.
Hahahaha…. Ever drove a 580 Amarok?
Which is why were getting one next year.
We dont intend to tow but the tray will still be useful.
This will be extremely comfortable for travelling and any off roading we do.
If we wanted better towing, wed get a wildtrack or Fx4.. either way, a ranger.
Milk also comes in 2 Ltrs
@@aulord80 Also comes in 5ltrs,whats ya point?
@@shakengandulf A vehicle an investment? I thought vehicles were a liability not and investment unless they are appreciating classics.
Might be worth waiting for the new rangers if anything.
Over priced for what is available. I still don’t understand why Ford hasn’t put a ‘B’ pillar grab handle in the ranger. Waiting for the new model.
Pls review the new focus st 2022
This looks pretty much identical to the Ranger Raptor SE (Special Edition) that we will get in the UK soon. Looks like Ford are putting all the left over parts, bells and whistles into this last Ranger before the new 2022 model.
Have just purchased a FX4 Max for exactly this reason.... looks big and has street presence, but will tow my caravan, plus 12k cheaper
If we werent getting a raptor, FX4 would be my next choice.
We arent towing so raptor it is.
I have a raptor and we use it for boat deliveries etc its perfect but does not tow as much as the standard ranger. I chose it as its a better ride and looks great. You need to get the hitch weight correct as the suspension softer than the leave springs. Towing a balanced trailer is so much more comfortable than the standard ranger as you dont get the nodding effect.
Try a w580s amarock raptor is under powered big time
U can put lipstick on a pig ,it’s still a pig
@@aulord80 amarok is nowhere close to Ranger Raptor in any way except engine and towing, but still rapors intention is not towing, that is an added bonus.
Isn't that the 2021 model, not the 2022?
Bring this to America please
Couldn’t he just hook up a camp trailer instead of that ridiculous unstable cherry-picker - I mean how many people are going to tow that clumsy monstrosity around. It’s not as if a tradey will run and buy a Raptor. He had the perfect opportunity to give us a good towing review and totally blew it.
Also, it’s not designed to tow heavy loads so fit airbags if you must or stop winging and just get a wildtrack - it’s horses for courses, simple.
Looks can be deceiving. The 2.0 litre puny engine is a joke for the name Raptor.
This ute is a sheep in a wolf skin. I can tolerate a 2 litre engine powering the GWM Cannon ute when it cost less than 40k. What I cannot tolerate is Ford charging people 80k for a puny 2 litre. For 80k buyers should be getting a V6.
still needs the bigger engine, which it will have next year. yippee!!
will we ever get one in the US?
Not the model shown in the video, but you will get the next generation Ranger Raptor.
Anyone knows why they don’t get the 6 cylinder petrol?
Because no one would buy a petrol powered 4x4 ute (and for many great reasons) with the Y62 patrol being an exception this applies to most big cars in Australia.
@@billgates3452 Ive seen enough Rams and F150s that have been imported through third parties in Australia to know thats not true.
@@2157AF Ram sells about 3k petrol units nationally a year with the highest volume model having no diesel option , just the Ranger will sell about 40k and If the cheaper rams came with the diesel powertrains from the bigger models you know what people would choose. Take the F250 for an example where you get a choice, Diesel dominates units sold. It wouldn’t make any sense financially for a company like Ford to offer a petrol variant 4x4, better off with different sized diesels. Toyota tried it many years ago and look what happened.
Rumour has it the guy who designed the look of this Ranger has not been seen for weeks YUK
Looks great.
Pity Ford didn’t keep the 3.2 engine in it
Ford taking the Mickey. Less of everything for more $'s so should be called Raptof
Good bye ranger the updated 2022 Isuzu dmax is going to swallow you
When the new ranger comes out next year it will make Isuzu sales seem insignificant in comparison.
Precisely! The new Isuzu is pretty poor if you REALLY look into it. Specifically Engine is still old spec euro emission, underpowered.. hard to see it's 'updated'
There were a lot of people who fell into the trap ,
so why this 2ltre better then a 3.2ltre??🤔🤓
Bigger injectors, twin turbo, 10 speed transmission, forcing the smaller motor, it's a good 4wd, but wouldn't buy it for towing, people with 50 thousand kms have blown this small motor
It’s basically much more advanced which gives greater performance, efficiency and refinement. Exactly why Ford are sticking with this engine in the next gen ranger.
@@mohammedmuzakkir9803 I like the 3.2lL but they we’re not without issues over their life span. The biturbo has been designed for commercial applications and will hold up fine, it’s just the future, 3.2L is the past.
@@billgates3452 yeah 6 speed transmission in 3.2 were bit of a problem
@@mohammedmuzakkir9803 so any 3rd option?..
Ford has lost the mark with this and even ford fans will know as well 👍
For 3.5t you cant go past the Jeep Grand Cherokee
I tow 2 tonne with this Ute and it does it easy. Hardly know it’s on the back . Way better than the 3.2 , 6 speed ranger which clunks the gears climbing hills
This review is way off the mark
You sir have no idea , clearly the 3.2 is a better tow vehicle ,wake up
@@aulord80 I owned a 3.2 for 10 years and towed with it . So I think I am qualified to compare. Point and case
Why the hell would you hire a Nifty? One of worst towable EWPs on the market. Make better choices in future.
Yeah, I've owned my Raptor for a few years now. Great 4WD, no real issues except the 2lt bi-turbo. Not that there's anything wrong with it, actually it's a great little motor but here lies my problem...I've always owned V8's in my life and so I'm going to remedy that problem and have my Raptor booked in at Killa Kustoms next year to rip out the 2lt and replaced with the Fords 5lt V8 coyote motor producing 500hp... That'll put a smile on my dial. Check this out people th-cam.com/video/y0wqbh9AsHI/w-d-xo.html
Ps5 raptor
Should just put V8 engine in it
This is not a work vehicle. It's not a family ute. It's not a tow truck.
It is what it is.
It's a toy.
it is work vehicle and family ute for me, though i dint tow with it, but im very happy with the price i paid
I bought a 2020 last year was nowhere near $83,000 . It’s a great Ute off-road is outstanding but like any car you look at what you wanna do if it doesn’t suit you then don’t buy it 🤷🏼♂️
Show and no tow……
