‘You will never curb this’ - my wife has entered the chat
I never seen a girl giggling over a pick up truck like you Ms Vicky 😂
It's contagious hahaha!
More! More videos please!
My wife smiles every time she gets behind the wheel of hers. She absolutely loves it!!!
If there is ever a motoring brand that knows how to have fun, then it's most definitely ford.
Pity that most of their range is shit nowadays. Beaten by several companies. (I used to love Ford)
@@gavinwyllie7855 me too but they'll never see any of my money again.
Their pickups are pretty reliable. Though I wont touch their cars or suv's
Easily the BEST car review I’ve seen. Informative & Fun. Well done 👍🏻
Overall I love it. As it's the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned.
The perfect combination between off-road and long distance trips.
Their popularity in Australia is humongous. It's taking on the likes of the Toyota Hilux which is one of the biggest selling vehicles here, with the Ranger not too far behind
I love the honest review👌
This is one of the best car review I’ve ever watched!
Loved how you presented it. Amazing!
Great review Vick!
Such a great and capable truck 👌
That’s jump was epic
Delighted to have you on the Tube of You.
Excellent review 👏🏽
Huge thanks!
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 oh ask Superdry for sponsorship, they got a sale for the jacket you wore so stylishly, as someone I shared the episode with, loved the jacket and an order was placed. 😁
Your the best! A nice lil treat this morning.
Thank you so much!

Awesome truck
Awaiting mine. 2 months left. Can’t wait.
Great video....well done.
Wonderful review
"You really love pick up truck" it a pleasure to see you behind the Ford Raptor wheel.
Nice pick up nice jump all done by a angel a dam fine angel
I love it 🤩🤩❤❤❤
Well done! :)
Absolutely loved this review - I got my wife to watch it - Now she wants one - You Da Best - New Toy coming up Thanks Cheers ❤👍👌😂
Holy crap! It's got a motor sports centre marker on the steering wheel 😯 that completes my life! I must buy one.
I remember you talking about this on your Auto Express podcasts a while back (which i miss, i hope you do some more) and you were raving about it then, i think it's a keeper and HRH Queen Victoria can pick me up in her pick up any time she likes 😝
Thank you!!!
I have never considered buying a pickup and likely never will. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Vicki has so much enthusiasm. It's almost contagious.
That is very kind and gracious of you to write those words. Thank you very much!
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 You're welcome
Have one myself....One HELL OF A Truck!!!
Yeah!
I've had mine for a year and love it so much, I don't know what I would ever swap it for.
watching all the way from East Africa.
Fantastic review!! Amazing work!
I knew nothing about the Raptor until I won one last night! It looks fabulous.
love this girl!
Funny how not too long ago Vicki made me go out and buy the Forester STI (and my daughters loved being sent to school in that!) and now this! This makes me want to buy the Raptor too .. only that i already bought it a year ago 😁. Subbed!!
Oh yes, sorry about how I 'made' you do that! 😜 So pleased you have had at least 2 fab machines!
What excellent car taste you have! And I trust your daughters love the Raptor as much as the Scooby!
Vicki, you make wanna buy 2 of them; oh, girl you are a great orator!
I'll take a pair as well!
I see Vicki.
I click 👍👍👍
❤️ it Vicki
Go Vik! 💪💪
Hi Vicki, first time viewing your channel!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤠
Congrats to you Vicki.
That baby Raptor is impressive.
Welcome! And thank you so much. They need to make a T-Rex next....!
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 Agreed!
Love for you to compare them.
Ford Ranger vs Ram Dakota, Raptor and T - Rex.
Please test and compare both 2022 Tundra and 4Runner.
Interested to hear your opinions on them.
Cheers Ms. Vicki
Love you love you love you!
You had me at Suspension Monthly 🤣
Thanks!! I'm working on the launch issue...!

a wonderful pickup...with the 3.2cc and 5 cylinders :DDD
nope its 3.2 LITRESnot 3.2 CC. if it were 3.2 cc the engine would fit in the palm of your hand!
It needs a light bar on top Vicky ❤️
Just bought one in conquer grey. Pick it up next week. 😄😄😄😄😄
Ranger is great.
Absolutley love the ranger raptor, i was suprised at how well the 2.0 ltr bi turbo engine pulls. Definitely going to be my next motor, and remap to 275bhp.
i wanted to love it too but its auto only. deal breaker right there. and no real need for it as ford had higher powered cars with manuals in the past
Love that!
Are u remap ur raptor? Is it void warranty?
My fave pickup truck. I gotta get one in grey, with all the stickers lol. Thanks for the awesome review Vicki 😀. It looks like a lot of fun. Could you do a review of the Porsche GT3 range from the old GT3's until the 992 GT3?
Great choice - grey, nice! Yes I plan to do older stuff too, as soon as time allows. Thank you for your support.
I really appreciate how you take the time to reply to all our messages. You are the best Vicki
Great looker. Truck not bad too.
😊
Thanks for the ear to ear grin Vicky - surprised to see a large pickup in the UK - here in Australia the ‘ute’ (OZ for utility) reigns supreme with the top two selling vehicles being utes - the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger in second place - ‘tradies’ love them and now people who dumped their backpacker cars for SUVs are now changing to utes for their family and camping duties - I’ve owned 10 Subarus (WRXs, XT Foresters, 81 wagon) a Nissan Godzilla but now I only drive a Toyota Hilux auto diesel and love the practicality, up high driving position and offroad ability - John in SA
Thanks for taking the time to write this, John! So glad you are a ute fan, too!
We would consider the Ranger to be a mid-size here in North America. Full-size Pickup would be an F-150 and Large Pickup is anything that is CAFE exempt (over 8,500 lbs GVW or F-250 thru F-450). I will say that the Ranger looks pretty large on UK roads.
@@rich7447 an F150 makes sense on big US highways Rich - two things I’ve noticed from decades of watching US movies is the ‘whaling’ road dynamics of your old Ford Broncos which almost roll over on corners and bends during car pursuits and your ‘yellow’ school buses still look like something from the 40’s - is the US poor? because these old buses don’t look safe for school children? Why not something more progressive and modern with safety features?
@@johnnumbat9782 Anyone who would use an old Ford Bronco for a pursuit (other than OJ) needs their head examining. They aren't built for high speed corners.
There are very few injuries or fatalities in school buses each year. For the most part buses in general are just a big tube with an engine. What do you suggest for a modern alternative? I don't believe that transit buses are any safer and they are twice to several times the price of a school bus.
@@rich7447 yes Rich I guess they’re only stunt drivers in the Broncos - good to know fatalities are low - here in Australia the children use the metro bus services or medium transit passenger buses in regional areas -
She hasn't aged in 20 years...
I have a 2014 - 2.2 Ranger Limited. Love it. I see the Raptors and Wildtraks and just think "lifestyle Pickups" they never leave the tarmac!
and 99% of limited spec ones are any different?
Glad you love a pick-up, too! 👌
Same as most 4x4 on the road it's all about looking the part these days , the best one are with 24 inch wheels and road tyres lol wtf
Just picked up a Sasquatch bronco with the 2.7 a few months ago, over here in the states. I Feel like you would like it the same. I certainly do.
Best car I ever owned (Wildtrak, not Raptor) but sold it for a base model 2 door (which is quicker and handles better) as it suits my uses better.
Let's hope you get to Test out a Ram TRX
So many different markets ,many different engine specs ,a twin turbo V6 would be a good choice .would think that 4x4 would give it more range of activity,and towing capabilities .
I like how you made Audi Circle's in the good pasture 😎
Pick-up truck has a solidity and strength that no car can give. Maybe not super practical in a city, but they off-road like it's nothing,
Right about then, Vicky realised she was having a whole lot of fun!
Good car. We have one, you can see also some jumps and offroad drive in our videos. Raptor is doing just great and can bring lot of fun to its driver.
not much fun without a manual gearbox though
Hello fellow jumpers...🚜!
The suspension on this is amazing! And as a daily driver, green laning, camping machine it is the ultimate thing they sell in the U.K… at least till the Gladiator arrives. Sadly, 10 seconds to 60! That’s genuinely glacial!!! Perhaps not for the U.K. market, but it is from a world perspective.
New more powerful raptor is coming:)
@@DragonXDrei since I wrote this I’ve started to care more about the frugality with current diesel prices. And whilst the 3.0L turbo diesel is nice I’m staring to think EV is where it’s at for the future (and present) of pickups. Thankfully my current Isuzu D-Max is super frugal (and super slow, but that’s less of a problem in 2022).
The 8,500 lb F-450 Crew Cab makes it to 60 in 8 seconds. A little more than a 2L diesel in that though.
Don't let diesel prices get you down. One of mine has a 200 gallon tank and gets 8 mpg. The cost of diesel is offset by not having to get hotel rooms while on the road.
I love mine !!! It’s an amazing machine.
I can see the rust on your chassis. Really bad. Mine is on the list like 90% of new Ford Ranger Raptor’s to be taken back.
Excellent review VBH. I met your Dad once - really nice bloke so glad to see your success.
@Jason I’ve never met your dad but I believe he is a really nice bloke 😉
Thank you! And I am very pleased you liked my Dad, too!
As far as I can gather all Ford Rangers are not classed by the DoT as Dual Purpose Vehicle but are Light Commercials (in excess of 2040 kg unladen weight) and as such have speed limits of 50 MPH on single carriageway roads and 60 on dual carriageways. Same applies to Merc X Class, VW Amarok, new Navaras and new Hiluxes. Pretty unlikely anyone will ever get nicked but worth noting.
I love my Truck it's awesome! And Vicki you are absolutely Beautiful that's the Truth!
The F150 raptor is a amazing verical i wish i could drive
I'm thinking of one . What's it like crusing road noise?
I just read an article saying the new double cab ranger in all trim specs, including Raptor has an unladen weight over 2040Kg. It’s speed limited to 50mph on single and 60mph on dual carriageways.
The Ranger tops out at 4,440 lbs/2,014 kg empty. The Ranger Raptor is heavier at 5,238 lbs/2,375 kg empty. So the Ranger would fall under dual purpose vehicle and the Raptor would theoretically not.
This kind of shows how crazy government regulations are since neither the Ranger nor the Raptor are very big (both are mid-size pickup trucks).
Really wish they would sell them in USA take my money now without a doubt
Ford can't supply enough of the models that they do offer in the US. It's going to be over a year by the time I get my Super Duty order.
Fab
I'd love one but $68,000 USD is a bit more than I need to spend, but I can dream! Thanks CAR Girl.
Totally understand that. Thanks for watching my film!
Milk also comes in 2ltrs
I didnt think the raptor was available in the UK? Has this changed or is this a ranger with a bodykit & options added?
So did you buy one? Lol
In Canada here and I understand why you had so many nice words for a truck - I have a F150 Raptor which is huge compared to the Ranger but just as crazy!
I hope that field is lined up for a crop this season!
Crop circles... 😜
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 You should have sowed some doughnuts! 😉
How I understand you Vicki, drinving my blue Raptor, is the best part of going to work... 😀Ford Perfomance did it really well!
Not sure you'd get that pallet out very easily with a forklift though Viks! 😁
if it went in itll come out!
Manual labour would do the trick...!
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 Don't you swear at me, young lady!!! 🤣
3 man blow up canoes Vicky? braaaavo!! LOL xxx
Yes Vicki but would it make an ideal Camper vehicle with the back of the passengers area removed and a cover added to the pick-up area, that way I for one could get out of the City I am in and select different parking spots where beauty is a must see each and every morning when I wake from slumber in my single divan bed nestled in the back of the pick-up?
Pls let me know if this could be done as I am dying to get on the road and my wee Fiesta is not big enough for my 6 foot frame.
It might just work! But best speak to the Ford peeps who will know how to guide you best. Good luck!
Shiny fox suspension accompanied by some sub frame rust 🙈
it looks really big. too big for city driving and a pain to park. I'm thinking on buying me a truck for weekend getaways, but I'm stuck between the ranger, Santa Cruz, or go full electric..
is the ranger raptor full time RWD ? with 4x4 capabilities ?
The red marker is at odds with ptw
Ford Australia had plans of putting a V8 in the Ranger but those plans have been shelved. Vicki if you really want to test drive a Ute, get hold of a Vauxhall Maloo. I know that they are not in production no more but I'm sure it is a vehicle that you will like. Also it is perfect for doing circle work.
Thank you for the info!!
Bought a black 3.2 2016 wildtrak with 29k on the clock 2 years ago for 21k and spent 4k on mods best thing I've ever done love driving it .it is suffering with the ranger rust but Ford are sorting it out by doing the chassis treatment, next mod will be 3" SS catback and stage 1 ,the amount of ppl that stop and look at it as I drive passed is nuts ,great drive in the auto going down to Cornwall never feel tired went you've done a long journey, and always look back at her when I walk away from her and my neighbours always take the pi$$ when I wash her and say black vehicles are the worst ,I just reply best looking vehicle in the street tho 🤣
Top stuff!!!
10:17 because it's so good 👍☺️☺️☺️
Black/grey/blue/white? Which is the best colour raptor?
It's much better coming from you than Clarkson he's definitely not eye candy your probably a better driver as well 😊👌👌
You are too kind! 😜
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 you remind me of a young lady I used to go out with and she could drive anything,and she used to laugh the faster she went lol but on my Yamaha R1 (no she didn't get to ride it ) she definitely didn't have a fear of speed I could hear her giggling like you do . great video by the way 👌👌
Did Vicki say if she could find a friendly farmer to let her play in his field?!? Me thinks you would not have a problem finding many volunteers!
My father is a farmer and he was not so keen!! He knows me too well!
@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 I agree! No father would be keen to let his little girl do that.
Chill out simp.
@@gavinwyllie7855 What is your problem?
Yes please - Hubba Hubba
Was converted by my S.O. 3 years ago, Ranger Limited. Not going back to a station wagon. Too bad pick-ups are being taxed out of existence (in France). Fun fact, there are three kinds of reactions when you own a pick-up: those who love 'em, those who hate 'em, and those who are just jealous. Ranger to be replaced with a Rivian R1T once they hit Europe some time next year.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. All the very best!
£50.000 for a pickup, WTF,, that's a bonkers, cheers Phil
You're huge Vicki!, ford has the best pick ups!! 😜👍
What a gorgeous looking we’ll equipped looking thing .. The pick up isn’t bad either …🥴👍🍁🔥
Wouldn’t that jump be more a ‘Fall Guy’ moment? 🤔 after all he had the pick up truck 😂
Respect!
You are risking the wrath of the GM guys. Colt had a 3/4 ton Chevy. LOL
Awesome looking, but still surprised it has the Diesel engine and not a higher output version of the 2.3 Ecoboost engine standard in US Rangers like mine (with 270hp and faster 0-60). I love my 2019 Lariat… just wish the adaptive cruise was stop-and-go like some other Fords, instead of disengaging at 10mph. It’s fine most of the time, but in really slow LA traffic, it turns off too much.
Thanks so much for giving me an insight into your LA travel. Enjoy the US Ranger! Lucky boy 👌
Fuel is much more expensive in the UK v USA.
That’s why diesel vehicles are very popular in the UK, particularly for a larger / heavier SUV or Ute like the Raptor.
Much better economy with diesel motor in this type of vehicle.
imagine a 15mpg car vs a 30mpg car when fuel is roughly $8 per gallon. thats why we dont have the 2.3 ecoboost petrol or a v6 petrol and end up with the 2.0 diesel here
@@StephenFogarty2023 Diesels are popular in the US too, but they are very difficult to get through EPA regulations on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than 8,501 lbs. This equates to an F-250, Ram/Chevy/GMC 2500 or higher and they all have displacements in the 6.6 to 6.7L range. My Ram 2500 diesel went to the dealer in September and will be replaced with a F450 diesel. The diesels are the only way that you get 14 mpg highway when towing 26,000 lbs.
10:11 why is the dashboard blinking?
Sorry I got distracted.what was the car ? 🇬🇧
Maybe one can buy it as a farm implement to get a round the VAT 🙂
Love the Ranger Raptor, only issue for me is that diesel engine could use a bit more power for such a capable suspension. But that's being addressed with the all new gen Ranger about to be released. The next gen Raptor will have a much more powerful gas motor (expect 0-60 in the low-mid 5 secs.) Since the next gen VW Amarok will be based on the new Ranger, I wonder if they will get a "Raptor" version as well, maybe under the "R" name?
You are clearly a connoisseur! Great!
except the UK doesnt get 'GAS motors' we get DIESEL ENGINES!
@@petelattimer6808 You get your choice of either 3L gas/petrol or 2L diesel in the new model.
No tow hooks?
I was hooked until ya said "2.0 diesel" I would settle for a 3.2 twin turbo diesel with 300+hp but that NO, what's next a 2.0 4 cylinder ferrari, no no no no that thing is the massive body builder ya see around with very little in his pouch
the 2.0 has more real world grunt than the old 3.2 im afraid!
V8...
Wait..... 0-60 in 10 seconds in this Raptor? Ten seconds??? Did it have a layover in Dallas?? Great looking truck and a great video, though. Congrats!
Thanks for your humour and kind words!
It's for the UK,not the full on US version. We don't buy v8 pickups generally.
Love that!!! 😂
@@gavinwyllie7855 The F150 Raptor in the UK is a 3.5L V6. We don't get the Ranger Raptor at all. That being said, the standard output F-450 Crew Cab which weighs 8,500 lbs empty can make it to 60 mph in 8 seconds.
Would be nice for them to comment on the reliability so people that want it for years know if it any good like when every Ford dealer is full of them with engine failure and gear box case cracking
not heard of a manual gearbox fail and seen plenty of engines with over 200k miles in teh UK which are far harder miles than American miles, and reliability has a different meaning in the UK than the USA also
Thanks for your feedback Jan.
I worked at the dealer for over ten years and the only issues that really caused problems were the new 2.0 bi turbo failing all the time and the 1.0 eco boost
I've always loved Vicki, my dresm woman. Throw in a pick up and I'm in heaven.
I was interested, until I see that it only has half an engine.
