I lived in the US for a few years (moved from Australia) and for the last two years had an F150 Raptor. It was as you rightly said, it does everything and puts a smile on your face every time you drive it - I was lucky enough to drive it hard off-road in Utah and Arizona and it blew me away with its capabilities. I moved back to Australia in December, and was disappointed to not have anything similar here (sorry, the 2.0 diesel does not count in my books). I jumped on an order as soon as I saw the ranger raptor revealed with the same DNA is its F150 brethren. Cannot wait to get back in the drivers seat behind another raptor. Those who will only drive it on-road will really be missing out. I ordered black, and yes, it will be scratched up and dirty all the time - but not a pavement princess. We ordered from the same dealer, maybe I'll see you there on pickup day :D
I am envious of your experience around driving the F150. Reality check - here in OZ we are approaching $3 per litre when excise resumes - who can afford to punt such a vehicle around without a total disregard for the cost to do so? In the States you had the pleasure of "cheap"fuel, back here in OZ, you will hurt.
@@trickster8635 Certainly petrol in the US was a lot cheaper so its less of a thing but not completely out of mind. I did a 35K mile road trip last year in our raptor and spent thousands on fuel, but those are memories I'll treasure forever.
@@gazza7087 terrible take, just because people can afford these cars doesn't mean the cost of fuel doesn't hurt. I own a few amg Mercedes and people think I don't care about fuel when in reality it still does. It's a constantly fluctuating cost that's very hard to budget for.
After watching this Paul I went and put my deposit down on a blue one, shame out the 12 month wait but sounds like it will be well worth it ! Can’t wait for your full review mate
There being no diesel option for the new raptor, I had my doubts about how well it would actually sell, but with the price of diesel here in australia and no sign of it coming down anytime soon. I’ve changed my tune abit, I reckon it won’t do too bad at all
Have ordered and am waiting on my Raptor, was due Sept bu5 now Feb23 which is fine as it may see bugs reviewed by the time mine comes through. I have ordered White for ease of business signage but the Aluminium Silver with darker grey accents (door handles, front bar treatment etc) against a dark tint looks amazing, so I’m torn. Cant wait to get mine though.
Sensational review Paul. The car looks amazing and well the driving done by the Ford test drivers was something else. I can’t afford one of these, but it’s exciting for those who can. Enjoy your car Paul 🤙
@@Dayforitaus hey Cameron, my comment is a reflection of my values in life and that which my parents instilled in me growing up. It’s totally ok to appreciate something someone else is enjoying. I’m a believer that at times opportunities sometime come around in life that we didn’t expect. So who knows, maybe in the future I might get to enjoy a car like this or similar. Cheers🤙
If you treat it like that 10 times you will have your first failure . Mine got broken the steering gear with much less effort … now waiting for spare part since June . Failure occurred at 6400 km . Ranger Raptor 2022 from Argentina ! Nice video any way and is true you laugh a lot
Paul l can't believe how quiet the Raptor is except for the growl when you accelerate harder, a couple of times l thought you were commenting while not driving especially going through rough terrain. Great review l don't think I've ever seen anyone grinning from ear to ear the whole way through before. Do you know if the Amarok will get the V6 petrol as well or is it Raptor only.🤗
Don't get too excited, try buying just about any new car in Australia now and your told waiting lists are blowing out to over 12 months wait now. That new car once you get it will already be a year old. Let's hope it's heavily discounted.
It’s the same thing in the US. What they’re doing here is giving you the next model year. They stopped all Bronco orders by mid February on all 2023 models to try to catch up. Shortages are mad everywhere including the chips needed for electronics & cars and even food.
Wow, the shaking that the inside camera showed while you were passenger at high speed off road, almost looks the same as what a Hilux would look like on a normal road. 😂 😂 😂
Will stick with my current gen 1 for now. I intend crossing Australia in it so access to fuel is a concern. If they put a V6 diesel in the new one I’d be all over it like a rash!
I am surprised you actually bought a ute. Not just any ute. So utes are generally built for payload so it makes sense to review them with at least half a tonne in the back as well. Don't forget your bush barriers Paul. This Raptor is so nice.
Such a pity Ford didn't push for the Everest version. I know they didn't get customer buy-in from their focus group but I suspect that's because they currently don't have those customers buying an Everest - and they never will unless they build it.
Awesome review Paul! I giggled like a little kid when I heard the sound of the exhaust in Baja mode. Ordered my black Raptor the day they were announced in NZ. Replacing a black 2021 2.0 diesel version, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Delivery scheduled for early Oct. Can’t wait!
Hi Paul, another great review , what colour did you end up choosing? I live in Port Macquarie, so l might be able to pop out to Meideckes and have a look when you pick it up!
October delivery for me and Conquer Grey, I really wanted the hero colour. Got the bead lock wheel option, spray in bed. Not going to do too much to it. I'm not really a fan of the ARB options. My previous Raptor had a 2 inch lift, 35's and an offeoad animal front bar with Warn winch
As a 79 series owner, I'm really curious to know how this car compares to it, especially off-road as I believe the raptor has a front and rear diff as well. I drove the previous model raptor and although it had the right idea with the diesel set up it just was lacking power. On the new Raptor, I would've instantly put my money down if this had the same capacity engine, but in diesel. Clearly that hasn't deterred anyone away from it, judging by the wait times for orders. I am anxious to see your review when you get yours Paul and will test drive one for sure at my local dealership and if the drive and quality is as good as you say, then I might place an order myself in shadow black - a colour that is for some reason never offered in any 70 series line up. Now that would be a nice line up, a raptor in black and a sandy taupe 79 side by side. 🤙🏼
I’m in Canada and have been eagerly waiting for this truck for 3 years when I first got wind it may possibly come here. I used to drive a full sized Ford F-150 but in the mountains where we live the trails are too tight so a midsize makes more sense to access our favorite mountain bike and hiking trails. I can’t wait to hear more about this truck from reviewers to satiate my desire to have one until we actually receive them here in Canada. Knowing you guys get them soon is bitter sweet. I get to learn about the truck and hear of any issues before I get mine but I also have to watch others enjoy their while we wait at least another year to get ours.
@@kerryalden9798 the upgrade rims themselves are bead lock “ready” and are road legal. There is then additional cost for the actual bolt on bead lock ring and that is illegal on road.
I have a 2019 vw Amarok 258 which is mapped to 340 bhp. I am looking to upgrade. I really like this new ford. Are these 2 new pick ups vw and ford going to be very similar. Looking at the photos the fords looks a lot better. Also here in the U.K. the tax for the Amarok is full deductible if you have a business. Anyone know if this ford is fully tax deductible?
So very close to putting down a deposit on 1 of these. Can't wait to see what 0-100 times it pulls. I have a Golf R wagon, and it's time to size-up, but I don't want to lose too much oomph. I drove the V6 Wildtrack, and while it went "ok", it was nowhere near as grunty as I thought it would've been. Additionally, it felt a bit like a boat to drive - rolling around - on the road and in the seat..... Any comment on how the Raptor handles - and the sports seats? I know I can't compare it to the "on-rails" drive of the Golf, but I hope it's a lot stiffer and sportier than the Wildtrack...????
very high centre of gravity = understeer. its also not tuned to be a race car. its tuned for towing and of road driving. I'm sure someone will tune it. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing someone fully load their ranger and speed round a corner.
Thanks for the teaser review Paul! I can't wait till you get your hands on one for a detailed review. I am planning to update my Hilux in the next few years to the new Raptor and I am eagerly waiting for reviews and a 'test of time' review to see how the components and reliability of these new models... BTW I am after a Blue Raptor...
For the next Raptor video can you finally answer the question everyone is asking; How does it stack up against the Fiat Panda in hardcore off-road situations?
It's 2am here in Africa and I'm up watching this 😅. Doing jumps at 130kph, that's extreme and only a raptor suspension can handle it. Try and do that in a Wildtrak you'll have to be towed home 😂. And September is kinda close for the delivery time of your car. Otherwise this is an excellent car review. Keep it up
@@CarExpertAus I went with Code Orange so it stands out from the standard Rangers more. Grey was my next choice but the older generation came in that so wanted to ve different. Hopefully Code Orange ages ok. Looking forward to actually seeing one though.
Fuel efficiency in different modes and overall. Also compared to the last generation Raptor, fuel efficiency in different modes ie Baja, would be nice to know.
Must be even more excited about your one coming! Not to be compared to a certain German dictator, but it should be "it's a f*ng beast!", not "an". Sorry, OCD.
Ordered/deposit placed back in Nov last year before they were unveiled. Have a black one coming in mid-late September also…. Hopefully no further delays! 🙏
I've used and abused my 2018 Ranger Raptor for 110,000km and have ordered a next gen... no idea yet when it'll come BUT the wait will be 100% worth it. Never before have I had a dual cab ute that'll comfortably whop the speed limiter on dirt... this next one will be utterly mental!!!!!
Such a pleasure watching you really enjoy yourself - makes me as excited about the Raptor and I’m not even buying one 😂 It also sounded so good, and looks like a tonne of fun to throw around off-road! Great video 👌
Great video Paul as usual. After having the PX1 and PX2 Wildtrack utes both in orange I have ordered the new Raptor in Alimunium Metallic. Have requested a early 2023 model. I have plates already ordered “V6RAPTR”
Ordered the conquer grey beginning of the year, initially told august 5th, then September 5th and now September 10th. Lets hope they stick it on a boat. John at Seaview Ford Clarckson WA is a top bloke to deal with.
What most people would like to know is the cost of ownership, real world fuel figures and even some mid range towing tests perhaps. The suspension makes sense to me not everyone wants to tow 3.5 Tonnes, 2.5 Tonnes is fine for a lot of towing. Being a petrol engine it has to make sense in terms of fuel consumption etc. The comparison people will make is the Ranger V6 diesel vs the Raptor V6 petrol in terms of real world cost of ownership etc IMO
@markyes diesel gets you further per litre. how far are you going to take petrol ranger before it needs a fill. not important when your in the city on a construction site but if your out in the bush doing some off-roading, it will be important. That's one thing Dean is saying.
Love your content, good work. I'm on my second current model ranger raptor and absolutely love them. My current one is black and I've also ordered the new gen raptor in black ofcourse, When I was at my local ford dealership in the 15 minutes I was there, 3 other people came in enquiring about the new raptors, these things are going to be very, very popular. Looking forward to your future videos on the raptors, Cheers mate.
Ordered one after your live q&a in May. Originally lightning blue but changed to conquer grey. The orange is growing on me though. Probably early next year for delivery.

its also not tuned to be a race car. its tuned for towing and of road driving.

Great review. I’ve ordered a raptor in conquer grey. Won’t see it till after Christmas unfortunately. Waiting patiently.
Ordered the conquer grey beginning of the year, initially told august 5th, then September 5th and now September 10th. Lets hope they stick it on a boat. John at Seaview Ford Clarckson WA is a top bloke to deal with.
What most people would like to know is the cost of ownership, real world fuel figures and even some mid range towing tests perhaps. The suspension makes sense to me not everyone wants to tow 3.5 Tonnes, 2.5 Tonnes is fine for a lot of towing. Being a petrol engine it has to make sense in terms of fuel consumption etc. The comparison people will make is the Ranger V6 diesel vs the Raptor V6 petrol in terms of real world cost of ownership etc IMO
That'll come - this is just an early preview. It'll use significantly more fuel than the diesel versions.
@markyes diesel gets you further per litre. how far are you going to take petrol ranger before it needs a fill. not important when your in the city on a construction site but if your out in the bush doing some off-roading, it will be important. That's one thing Dean is saying.

Love your content, good work.
I'm on my second current model ranger raptor and absolutely love them. My current one is black and I've also ordered the new gen raptor in black ofcourse,
When I was at my local ford dealership in the 15 minutes I was there, 3 other people came in enquiring about the new raptors, these things are going to be very, very popular.
Looking forward to your future videos on the raptors, Cheers mate.
Do we know if it will come with a sport bar or tonneau cover as per the wildtrack?
No it doesn’t
Nup, it's nude. Hope there are accessories for it!
@@CarExpertAus interesting, i have ordered a conquer grey delivery late April (WA)
The real question is, will Ford warranty the truck if it breaks while driving it the way they say you can?
Ordered one after your live q&a in May. Originally lightning blue but changed to conquer grey. The orange is growing on me though. Probably early next year for delivery.
Nice one!
Hi Paul,
Just ordered a new raptor, excited after hearing how well it drives.
