- Buckle up: we can finally deliver our verdict on the 2022 Ford Ranger Raptor! This review was shot way back in March when Ford invited us for an early taste of its new super ute during testing in Outback Australia. It's fair to say we were impressed...

Where are all the people saying a petrol ute in Australia would not have demand?? This looks to be a winner from all view points.
As a designated work Ute, no. As a sort of replacement for high performance Maloo yes
Except for price
It would not have demand as a work vehicke but as a substitute for something like a Maloo yes
@@robertryan7204 you said that twice like 2 weeks apart
@@4477superman probably say it again as well
Haters will hate no matter what. Got mine on order and keeping my 2019 Raptor as well.
It’s pricey but looks so much fun:)
So jealous. Enjoy
@@henrybrewer1083 Yeah.. had to go through a lot to get these 4x4s, divorce been the main one lol
Looks fantastic. The Toyota fan bois will struggle for excuses of why the raptor isn't so much better off road.
Sure. Wouldn’t take it down a mine shaft though.
I never see Hilux reviews as cinematic as any new gen raptor are.. yet they still sell like a hotcake around the world.. Toyota doesn't try hard at all... unlike Ford lmao
@@HighMaintenancePS why would you take a 100k rally car down a mine shaft 🤣
The latest Wheels dualcab shootout has a misprint not in Toyotas favour. The latest magazine states it has a 2.2 litre engine when it’s a 2.8. I’ve noticed this several times in Wheels.
I think the T6 Ranger is overbuilt. I’ve heard nothing but good things here in the US from people who have the 2019-current gen Rangers. I will probably get this next gen since it is an updated Ranger but carries over the good things from the previous gen. Ford did good with if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Also I’ve always heard, if it can take the damage Australians can give it, it’ll withstand 98% of what I can throw at it. For me it’d be a daily driver, dad mobile, weekend warrior, and vacation traveler.
Nice detailed review, Thank you
How’s the sound system in that thing??
Great review Alex - I want one ☝️
Can you imagine when the price of petrol exceeds diesel (which it will) how expensive this ute will be to run.
Finally a decent f*@Kn engine! That isn't a diesel shtibox. That's all anyone ever wanted in a Raptor.
Fuel economy gna be outrageous.
@@farzana6676 11.7L/100km-ish.
@@And_rew92 Yeah probably 14L in real life.
@@farzana6676 it's a Twin Turbo V6 petrol in a ute that has a tare weight of near on 2.5 tonnes. What were you expecting, GeeWiz mileage?
@@farzana6676 still a shitload better than my v8 petrol cruiser. By a long way.
I think I want one.
I’ve had plenty of hire cars that would keep up.
But seriously I want one. How long is the queue currently Alex?
About 10 months.
does it look tough enough in the flesh. the new one doesn't have the caricature like pumped guards of the old one. Wondering if it looks different enough from the regular ranger?
Pumps guards are the same. Old gens headlights were smaller and further into the centre of the body so made them look bigger
Are other makers going to go this direction too?
Considering they have no base to build one on, no.
amazing truck but only 288hp in GR
Will the turbo engine be reliable I hear some people ask ?
the news in the us is the new 3.0l v6 is falling apart right off the shop floor, plus their transmissions are rubbish.
@@2011buddylee
your talking to an auto executive mate also Learn to read bud. I didnt mention the raptor i mentioned about the driveline. But since your so eager to learn il help you. The same GM/Ford 10 speed transmission and the same engine being used which is the new peddy 3.0l v6 in the new bronco and f150 in the states is being used in ranger raptor. You should do your own research, they are fucking shitboxes from what been going on in the states is jury after jury hearings and Fords having to pay billions in rebuilds already. Funny that you know nothing about Fords. lol funny that
@@2011buddylee the new 3L V6 Raptor motor is built in the US and is the same one used in their Bronco Raptor. The vehicle itself is assembled in Thailand. The 2020 Raptor I had was built in Thailand with an Indian built Diesel engine.
@@2011buddylee yes I did hear the Ranger Raptor for the US market will be built there in the US 👍🏻 My new Raptor should arrive this month or next month and it’s being built in Thailand like my 2020 Raptor was but will have that nice V6 petrol motor built in the US 🙌🏻 I think the people in the US will love them when they hit the market. I love the look of the F150 Raptor but sadly they don’t sell them here and if we want one we have to get them converted to right side drive.
@@MakingMoneyyy857 where are you getting your news? There were some bad head gaskets on the Focus RS 2.3L and some bad valves on the 2.7L Bronco. No problems so far with the 3.0.
Do I need one? No. Do I want one? OH absolutely YEEEES.
Anyone know if it has heated seats?
it does
Also as you were filming this from inside...you only show us YOU...we want to see the dash and front from inside as you drive...we want to feel like we inside
Well at NZ $95,000 certainly trounces the wallet
It most certainly does. I'm on the fence at the moment because we still have to factor in the 2nd feeback kicking in on 2023 jan 1st. Its getting expensive in NZ.
You know! Toyota is talking notes for the upcoming Taco truck.
wheres the fakin soundcheck!??! lol
Once again guys with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car get cooler shit than us in the states
Thankfully the Ranger Raptor will be coming in 2023. It will be shown at the Detroit auto show later this year. This is a really nice design, and it will sell out quickly. A fabulous toy. I live in a city so have no excuse for getting such a vehicle, but it sure looks like a fun toy.
Hey, it's the correct side if you're right-handed and want to be able to swing your sword at soldiers coming the other way... (okay, so that was why they rode on the left in medieval times, I guess things have changed a bit...) - Mike
We’re getting this vehicle in the states, and we have a LOT of awesome vehicles they don’t.
Ford have done brilliant job on this one, can't wait when it arrives and to all the haters and whinging poms
🖕🤭
$100,000 AUD absolut rip off for a thailand built mid size truck.
This cost more than the real full size raptor in America which is all round a much better vehicle.
Welcome to Australia everytime.is expensive
Yes, but you won’t see kangaroos when you drive it in America~ that makes price different hahaha!
@@2340284 the bloody kangaroo tax!
Really the original 6.2 F150 Raptor's were pretty slow
Why is bumper wobbling at 1:32? I saw it behave same way in another rough off-road video too.
Need to have flex on things like that so it doesn’t rub/knock around. Same reason bull bars have gaps from bumper
Flex is necessary in all vehicles.
The bumper is mounted directly to the chassis. This is how the bull bar will also be fitted. The body, including the grill section, are fixed to the chassis on rubber mounts for comfort and noise reduction. This is evident in all new(ish) 4x4 with a bull bar fitted, as you can see from the drivers seat, the top bars of the bull bar moving independently from the bonnet. P.S. a full scale bull bar is heavy and might detract from that all important Raptor suspension. Regular Rangers can simply add after market suspension to accomodate the weight.
It's still unfair...you guys are still testing on easy roads...we want BAD BAD roads
For what though? Petrol engine too thirsty for touring at $2.20/ litre, or $3.20/ litre remote. Can't carry weight due to it's coil spring suspension and it is limited for towing duty because of all of the above. It's a play toy for the weekend on a beach or a sand pit, expensive at that. The price would be acceptable, if it could do more than one task, but it does not.
Their smoking crack of they don't bring this to the U.S
Unaffordable
Jesus who writes this crap. "The whole vehicle is more alert....."
What is a "Shazzie"??? asking for a friend who don't speak Aussie...
Chassis ?
Okay so what exactly can this car do that my hilux cannot?
0-100 in 6 seconds 🤣
Everything
2022 and still using a fucking 1080p camera🤣
After all they did team with Volkswagen on this one
Volkswagen has nothing to do here
No they didn't. No Volkswagen involvement with the Raptor.
Volkswagen is still a beetle compared to this predator
VW had absolutely nothing to do with the Raptor.
They didn't have much to do with the regular Ranger either. Ford helped them, not vise-versa.
Should have made a hybrid V6 version that would have lowered fuel use to 8L/100. Not the right engine for the times.
Fords hybrid 10R80 trans will fit in the new engine bay. Nudge nudge wink wink. Hence why there is a lot of transmission tunnel clearance.
Good point. I’ve got one on order but may regret it when a hybrid comes out.
If you search on TH-cam hybrid ranger , the line up was released yesterday.
🤣 are you high or just stupid? It's a rally car.
Old Raptor still looks more musculine than this new one
Every review is the same, ford brought us here to go fast in dirt, ford are daylight robbers at the moment, estimated price for what is still essentially a normal ranger inside, so internal comfort and room is lacking, it still doesn’t have the carrying or towing capacity, is $93 grand (ford website) Question is, is ford trying to justify the F150 future price tag through the raptor. I spoke with Canadian service and parts staff employed by a dealer, even they said in Canada for $80 grand Canadian or $89 grand Australian you can get the most up to date, top spec large pickup truck, with every conceivable extra, while in Australia we are robbed for choice and ripped off on price.
Whenever i see a comment about Raptors towing ability i just assume the person doesn't have a clue
@@kenadams6412 then I guess ford doesn’t have a clue, it’s in their own doctrine.
@@alphabravo3304 do u even know what the cars built for? NOT TO TOW how hards is it to understand
@@NathsHim oh that’s right I forgot it’s for 60 year old site bosses to look young and of course everyone in Australia is a dirt skidding rally racer. It’s a bloody pick up truck that can’t carry much either.
@@alphabravo3304 what are u on about. its for pure fast offroading in outback aus. dont buy it if u dont like it ur just a salty broke hater of a killer car
Obsolete
Go and buy a POS Toyota then with tech from the early 2000's lol
Ha, good one.
Go attention seek elsewhere 🤣🤣
