- RANGER RAPTOR 12 MONTH OWNER REVIEW, Pro’s and the Con’s. 50000ks on the clock.
Just over 12 months ago we purchased the Ranger Raptor, with everyone’s disappointment in the 2.0L engine we decided to still go ahead with our purchase.
This truck has had some serious engineering done to take the full blown impacts we have thrown at it. So how well has the Ranger Raptor taken the abuse ?
1 con I forgot to mention was stop/start.

Comprehensive review after 1 year. Showing the road the raptor had to travel daily is awesome. Two thumbs up
It's nice to know about the Raptor's condition after 12 months despite the transmission issues posted on YT. Love the truck. Thanks for the review
hey mate, great video, thanks for that..
I've had the same one since December 2019. Both seats on mine are fully electrically adjustable. It's great to hear that the Raptor didn't have any major defects with you.
If this came to the US it would outsell the big raptor. A badass truck that’s sized practically for city living as well.
There was a Ranger Raptor testing in the US I seen on TFL channel 👍🏼 might be lucky
It really would!!! I have a 2019 Colorado ZR2 with the V6, I LOVE THAT TRUCK. If a Ranger Raptor with a good beefy engine came to America it would sell like crazy... The regular Ranger and even the ZR2 are very popular where I live. My only complaint with the ZR2 is the lack of a more powerful engine option.
@@michaelhornbostel81 chances are as the raptor ranger as a model gets older they will probably add a ecoboost or something as a option especially if they release it to the us market because they would definitely want to dominate the midsize performance pickup
Late comment but there’s been several spy photos of the Ranger Raptor being tested in the US. Possibly gonna be released at the end of 2021 as a 2022 model. Holding out on purchasing a midsize until then👍
im pretty sure its confirmed it is coming to america and i cannot freaking wait. i dont understand why the hell its not here in the first place
Helpful inputs for the cons and pros. Good job mate!
Great review bro!! Thanks for thanking the time to create this content 🤙
Thanks bro, watching this in Jamaica, appreciate the joe consumer review..honest and down to earth
Spot on about the original tyres as well. I love the ko2's but my brother inlaw sold his as they were too dangerous on wet sealed roads.
Hi, thanks for the long term review. But let's not forget that several points are done differently in different factories. Like I also have double heated and electrical adjustable front seats. But also less space behind the rear seat backrest. I drive the European version, build in South Africa.
Great review mate!! Honest as!!
Love the new wheels!!!!
Look very Smart!!!
Thanks for the information that 35" could be put on without modification. I was looking for that piece of information for a long time.
I cant believe you have only 4.8k subs your channels deserves millions FOR REAL
Another great vid - love the Raptor, just wish it had a more powerful engine 👍
I reckon the new mod is a hard mounted compressor with outlet near the step, similar to your F250 👌
Good to hear that about the engine from an end user. Worked on it for some years :)
Thats it. Im sold. Gonna get me a grey one before the year ends. Awesome video man.
The best review on youtube yet!
Awesome video. Honest and in-depth review.
This is fantastic information that we needed to make our decision,, Thank you.!!! Good luck God bless all 👍☘️🙏
Just subscribed mate!! Worthy of my subscription. I have a ranger raptor now with 30k for 7 months now. I love it!!
Thanks mate 🤙🏼
Thanks for the review, I hope we can eventually buy one in the U.S. Very nice truck!
The Everest and the raptor are coming
Great video, I’m watching because I won one of these last night here in the U.K.! I reckon this could be my perfect vehicle judging by your excellent review. Cheers.
Great vid very informative.. I'm glad you like the Ford Ranger Raptor👍
Thanks for the video legend! Great idea too. A "Raptor Turbo" with a twin turbo barra. Would be killer
Hard to believe I've had my Gen 2 F150 Raptor for 3 years now...interesting to hear your thoughts on the Ranger and how some things carried over between the two versions.
Thank u for this review, i hesitating to pre order mine :)
Nice one mate!, very well put together, loving the new gimbal.
Cheers dude, can’t wait for you next vid to come out 😄💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Round the fire, Same colour as yours
@@kmuinde Same colour mate, TY has got good taste in cars :)
Nice honest review mate.
I let mine go as I’m a power nutcase.
But everything else in my Raptor I loved ❤️
They just need a wicked engine aye 🤘🏼
How good would a BarraRaptor be?!
Twin turbo V6 may be coming for the Raptor and not a V8..
@@leoesposito8762 not going to happen in our small Diesel obsession.
Damn, now I wish Ford made an Everest Raptor. Thanks for the review.
Good, comprehensive video.
One con i would add is the lack of some tech.
Obviously depends on what your using it for but some of the tech it misses out on that the Wildtrak gets is disappointing.
e.g adaptive cruise for highway driving
I was just looking at my Raptor parked in my garage yesterday and I thought to myself, "This truck looks just like Michael J. Fox's truck for the end scene in 'Back to the Future' without the light bar". Just more jacked. I think I'm going to get a KC old school light bar now.
Great review bud. Keep up the good work.
I'm guessing you next mod is a step up on the rear bumper, right side.
Next mod video will be up at end of the weekend I hope 🤞🏼
Awesome review mate. Im just waiting till it gets a bigger engine then im getting one. I currently have the fx4 its been awesome and i love it.
How it‘s the fx4? I‘m between getting that one and the raptor but i don‘t know if the price difference is worth it
A barra turbo in the Ranger Raptor would have been sick! Or if they engineered a turbo diesel version.
*facepalm*
Nice one Ty. Good review. And v6 would be nice 😎🇳🇿👍
Very good Video! Good to hear that you had no issues whatsoever with your truck in the first year. I own my Ranger Raptor since August 2019 and i am very happy as well. 2 things i dont like so much at mine are the gap dimensions at the front bumper. there is 1 cm difference between the fender on the left side compared to the right. Another thing is that the headlights just went dark last weak (excuse my bad englisch if got some words wrong). This will take 2 days to fix and even though the costs will be covered by Ford this kinda annoys me.
But like i said, i am very happy with this truck and we are planning a nice road trip (3.000 km) in the summer.
All the best from Austria!
Thank you, really appreciate you watching. Hope you stick around for more raptor content ! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Hey, can you make a playlist of videos of your car builds. Or maybe an update video of all your rigs. I am interested in your choices of rigs. Keep doin what your doin, cuz your doin great.
Great review bro, better than those car journalists. Honest and straight up, chur bro.
Cheers mate 😎🤙🏼
You're spot on about the engine bro 👍👍👍👍
Many thanks bro from here, the far away Belgium/Europe, for your nice and honest video review ! I have exactly the same (same colour) with a bit more then 4,000 km now. And OMG. That car, in fact 3 cars in one I would say, I love a lot, even city use and long distance on high way too. The only negative things for me : the steering wheel feels very indirectly and in "sport" modus it should be reacting more DIRECTLY (city or high way use). And the interior ...Hmmm....Maybe there is a bit too much vulnerable plastic ? For the rest : a great car . So thank you Ford for bringing it also to Europe!
Thanks for the video and your comments. I see no comments about the lack of rear A/C-vents. I think that someone at the FORD team goofed up. Likely the same team that approved the 2.0 engines. LOL. Cheers!
Really like the Ranger Raptor, wish I had the opportunity to own one.
I have one here in the philippines and already have a problem with the fuel injectors after 22000 kms. I regret buying one.
Good stuff ty , good review
Thanks mate ! 🍻😎👍🏼
Awesome vid thanks mate 🤙🏾
Thanks for watching
@TyFenwick it's great to see reviews after people have had them for a year or so. I'm looking at buying a used one so this review was so valuable. Much appreciated
Such a great truck 👍🏻.
Great Car! Love the rims! Congrats!!
Man the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Glad to see the Raptor is working good for you. Would like to have one in the states have a f150.
Like your review. New sub! Good luck on the next 100K
Cheers ! Can’t wait for 100k 🤙🏼
At 75,000 km my EGR stopped working. At 77,000 km the torque converter stopped working. Took 2 month for Ford dealership to identify the problem and another one to repair it. I am about to sell the 2015 Ford Ranger 2.2. I encourage all to research thoroughly before buying any new car...especially shiny expensive newly launched toys.
I love the 10 speed on my 2018 F150 Raptor . Haven’t had a problem with it after 2 years . The reliability in the baby raptor must be outstanding.
Would love a F150 mate ! Unfortunately there around $200 grand for a full loaded one here in Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Ty Fenwick Wow that is truly a ridiculous mark up, I paid 75k with every option except for the bed ladder step . One thing that I do envy about the Raptor rangers that you guys over there get is diesel engine . A lot of people over here complain that there is no diesel option on the ranger that we just got here in the states .
MARCUSAURELIUS Here in the states US trucks are practically given away. You can get anywhere from 8k to 20k off msrp on a truck normally. A fully loaded Power Wagon goes for about 60k and around the same for a Trail Boss and Rebel. On the other hand we get screwed on trucks like the Defender, Land Cruiser 79, and G Wagons Professional. That are not Imported into the the USA . There are literally tons of companies here that will charge you over 200,000 k usd to rebuild a 25 year old Land Cruiser or Defender that you guys can buy new at a fraction of the price over there lol . I would love to import a Defender or LC 79 but it would cost me more then what I paid for my F150 Raptor.
@MARCUSAURELIUS Shit thats a surprise - you guys get shafted on them even more than we do here in NZ! In saying that we'd probably burn up the savings in petrol costs in the first year! Luckily our diesel is cheaper
@@TyFenwick geez... I can pick a fully loaded one up here in the states for less than half of that! But, I will say you guys get some nice Trucks (utes) over there. Many of which we can only dream of.
It’s an engineering marvel in terms of what it can do off road. Yes they could’ve gone for a bigger displacement engine but smaller displacement twin turbo diesels seem to be the norm unfortunately. I’ve heard rumours that the 2l is only more powerful on the dyno sheets because of much higher AFR’s. If I had it my way I’d take the blue prints to the TD42 and modernise it.
@Daniel Anderson new one will be a beast. Might give the 300 series a run for its money performance wise.
Thnx Ty, appreciated...
😁🤙🏼
Arb air fitting above the step 😎
Can’t wait to see this in the US
Good honest and balanced review. First vid of yours I've seen. Thumbs up. I will look for more. My sole negative is its a ute with a tiny motor, it ain't a truck, but hey its yours, carry on calling it whatever you want.
I'm happy the ranger I got (Canada so not Raptor) has a 3.5 ton towing capacity. The little 4cyl 2.3L turbo with a 10speed handles that weight like nothing
Thanks very much for the update Ty! and was that Stockton Beach?
Thanks mate ! That beach was little gibber near hawks nest NSW
I love those wheels
I want to know what it will look like after 5 years. I hope you do a follow up
I'm going to buy one thanks to you !
Have you buy it?
Thanks for sharing mate, i got my blue one so far me and my family really love it, do vlog for offroad mate using all modes, cheers and stay safe. Hook up done
2 questions:
- Stock Fox shocks are comfy enough for both driver and passengers? (at least better than normal Rangers?)
- 35" tyres got no issues at all when in full turn/ jumping/ off road riding ?
New subscriber mate. I've pre ordered the 2022 ranger raptor. I was trying to come up with a personalised plate, I typed in the bbrptr (baby raptor) or even the 88rptr seeing the new ranger raptor looking like the f150 and I was like damn it's taken. And what a coincidence, you got the plate lol.
I endup reserving BBF150 instead 😅
Thanks for subscribing mate ! BBF150 is a sick plate 😎
BTW all, Ute? I know that the AU/NZ's like to use that term. Cool! Trivia: The first popular pickup truck was the Ford Model T Runabout with a pickup body. It was factory produced by Henry Ford back in 1925. Stay virus free!
Damn you Ford!! Bring the freakin Ranger Raptor to America already 😫😫
Yeah as soon as you bring your F150 to our shores..
We got the Bronco.
@@leoesposito8762 the whole reason ford made the ranger raptor is because ford could tell that the Europe and Australia and i dont know but i think south america have the ranger raptor as well but all of those places were wanting the raptor so instead of bringing the f150 raptor they made the ranger raptor because those places are already familiar to the ranger and keeps the ford pickup lineup smooth whereas if they had just brought the f150 raptor to those places the model lineup wouldnt make sense becuse it would go from the ranger wildtrak straight to the f150 raptor which is a big jump
Just import it.
Now V6 3.0 CC Gasoline Raptor is coming in 2022/2023. Your wish fulfilled. More power, more toque, crazy ute
Mine 36,000 km mileage and faced issue with the actuator driver and passenger side. I heared the same from other owners. Ford must address this. Other than that, all good.
Wish they had this in the states...
damn bro, all we got is the basic ford ranger work truck in the states, this one looks bad ass. if this comes out in the states it might be a good competition for tacoma.
There a good truck mate 😎👍🏼
I’m looking to buy my first ever ute and going to be the family car with 3 kids - 2 needs car seats. Currently driving a Q7 (2018), but wanted something can do bit of off-road, during school holidays. Comparing 2020 raptor with nextgen v6 Wildtrack. What would be your thoughts in terms of practicality and comfort?
Cool, we are still waiting for one in the states.
TACOMA GUY I’m hoping they Raptorize the Bronco truck that’s coming. If not the Ranger Raptor will replace my F150:
@@Enessy13 They are on my list also.
Hey mate what size tyres and I can put 35 mud on my truck yes
Video 👍💪💪👍💪
Orginal tyres?
Wheels 17“??
Offset ET??
👍💪👍💪
I want to know It too
Stop/Start can be turned off permanently with Forscan (quick/easy) or just put it into sports mode while moving and it turns off the stop/start automatically (until its put back into park)
There’s a button on ours in front of the gear stick to turn it off, just wish I could buy a eliminator to plug into it.
Hi I hope it is not too much to ask but can you post the mags amd the tire size again please? All i got was 17x9 on your mags, i plan to install the same
Haha!! The jeep guys are like 🤯🤯🤯
Too many toys Ty...too many.... send one down to me !👍
Funny you mention v6 twin turbo petrol... I just bought the new one here in Thailand.
Certainly couldn’t do the 1.3ton and 3 ton carry n tow I do weekly.
The raptor not having a gas engine is basically the one reason I am ever gonna get myself a truck. In the US and AUS (if it's the same there, idk) where gas is dirt cheap it might not matter, but here in EUR gas can be expensive as shit (although there's also big differences here as well)
Grate review Ty
When’s the kc m rack coming ?
Soon mate there bloody expensive as hell 😁
The F150 Raptor here in the states has those 3 amber lights in the grill for a legal reason. It exceeds a maximum width requirement by our department of transportation that states any vehicle over a certain width (which I can’t remember what that width is but it exceeds it ) must have those clearance lights to warn other drivers a wider vehicle is oncoming. It’s why all our dual rear wheel pickups have them on the roof. The F150 Raptor wider track width and wider fenders actually place it in the same width categories as dual rear wheel pickups and class8 big rigs. Stupid but that’s why the lights are there on the US Raptor. It’s law.
Yeah I knew all that, they do look cool however 😎🤙🏼
I love this car...but i just can bought Xlt limited+...i still satisfy become the ranger user...
Great honest review mate,
I just don’t like the bumpers in them, looks like a big chin.
Touch screen panel display interior looks outdated.
Other then that I love the look of them, considering to buy one 🤔
I rarely use the touch screen panel's interface since I always put on Android Auto. Having it as a daily has been really great! 10 months in and no problems so far.
@@angeloco4923 Hilux more reliable?
Wow thats a nasty road to be bombing up and down daily. Cool to see the truck can handle it.
Where did you do window tint? Im in QLD.
Hey bro.. Do u notice the oil leaks near the front timing cover? In thailand and around sea (mainly asian market for 2.0l engine for ranger, raptor and wildtrack), there is a problem with leaking front timing cover,.. And also, the turbo hose to the intercooler joints also drips oil.. You should check that out bro..
NONE, BRO! MINE IS 16 MONTHS OLD NOW AND STILL SUPER FUN TO DRIVE.
Hello May I know does it have problems with carbon build up
I checked out the Ranger Raptor when I was down under last year.... Yaa , I have owned and love Rangers.... I would buy one in a heartbeat if Ford brings this version of the Ranger back home to the US>>>>> I also think it will outsell the the big brother Raptor. Either way....FORD bring it home!
Hi there..when they changed the Nissan to rear coil springs they towed like crap how does this perform when towing say 2 ton or maybe a little more
There’s always a compromise no matter what you do. Possibly a heavier spring could help if you tow a lot
Fucken great information brother cheers mate 👋👋👊
Thank you, very encouraging review. Me too I cannot stand stop-start "feature", i will probably get one of these Auto Start / Stop Eliminator for ranger when I get mine.
Yeah that’s one point I forgot to mention. 😁👍🏼
Better off looking into Forscan. You can do a lot more modifications to the ute for e.g. the double beep as you exit the ute with the engine running and key in your pocket, Auto Engine Stop/Start, Vehicle Chimes as you open get in the car/turn it on etc.

Something to consider.
Does you ute makes an annoying humming noise (I think from the front wheels) when driving slow down hill? I always experience that sound on my Raptor. Aside from that, I love its all around performance. I bought it last September 2019.
Hey ray, no mate can’t say I’ve heard anything like that coming from the front end. Might get your dealer to check that out but.
Ty i hope can do a heated steering wheel mod on it or some rigid foglights added to it 😃 glad that you highlighted the stock suspensions being able to handle the 35s thanks a lot mate
No heated steering wheel mate unfortunately haha, but lots more mods to come yet 😉🤙🏼
@@TyFenwick nice looking forward to it.
Funny you should mention petrol variant, XLT in the USA gets a 300 horsepower petrol engine with the same 10 speed auto you have. Towing capacity, well I'm sure you looked at the specs before you bought that $85,000 Ranger Raptor. 3.2 litre 5 cylinder is tried and tested (better for towing if that is what you really want). Ford used to make decent cars once for Australia.
What wranglers age they building for y'all britts? Cause there solid over here in the states sir
Just subbed! Hey, it lools like its been great with the dust proofing. Is that true?
may i know how you got the 35’s on the raptor? what’s your offset? and rim and tire size a well. thanks a bunch
Can u put 35s on the original 17s
Just to make you aware bud you can buy a kit for these which adds the 3 lights in the grill similar to the F150
Yeah man I’ve seen them online I think I might get a set for it 👍🏼
Tnx
how does it do with fuel?
Pity it doesn't have the V6 Amarok 580 Engine. Now that's an engine.
its a pitty Vw cant make a decent 4wd.
