I really can’t understand ppl that mention “0-60 in 10 seconds”... it’s a pickup.
I got mine back in June this year. I LOVE IT!! As for the towing.. there is a back to back test of the 2.0 and the 3.2 on You Tube, where they tow the same huge Caravan on the same route. The 2.0 was more economical and pulled better on hills in a timed run starting at a set speed at the bottom. BTW.. you forgot to mention it actually has double glazing!!
Double glazing 👏🏻
I have now driven some 10k miles in mine and I love it more every day.
It truly is the best of both worlds for me. Just some comments;
- Only 200W output for the 240V in the rear.
- Getting in the trunk is a pain as it isn't knee friendly. I just stuck a flat foldable step in the lid. And I added some wide transparent tape on the top of the lid to avoid 'buckle belt'scratches.
- Cover is great. But storage is taking depth from the bed.
- I hear no clicks from people here in Spain. It is like a nice girl. Some guys directly smile and try to chat you up. Others look away and later turn their heads when you passed.
- The suspension is soft and nice on the roads. And I like the nose dipping when hitting the brake. Nice appearance.
- Independant suspension Makes for better road contact in the curves. Also no rear hopping like on leaf springs, designed for loads.
- Tyres ain't that expensive. As it isn't low profile, neither high speed specifications. Also the large circumcision make for less revolutions per mile.
- Price is high, but also includes lots of options like towbar, bed cover etc.
- Sadly there is no option for a front camera. But I have ordered the parts for my DIY front camera addition for under 30 euros. And cleverly made without hardly any wiring.
- I am also somewhat disappointed that there is no remote starting option on the remote like the USA versions.
- And even no central window locking and only driver windows has automatic fully open/close function.
- No idea why my text suddenly turned red.
- 10-gear automatic is great. But do I use the flippers????
- Added a piggyback chip which promises 256HP and 656Nm. Which is a great number for this car. A bit mor and it would just start skidding, and that's not the purpose of this vehicle.
- And Oh yeah, I get challenged very often when leaving my town. By almost any type of car, though mainly sporty ones including Range Rover Sports HSE. But they simple win by reaching the first speedbump. Only to see me jumping past, 4 wheels in the air without any problem. FUN.
- Just a great, great car. As long as you don't live in a city.
- The closest to a monster truck off the shelf. And every kid loves it. And so am I. For some picture just search for PuraLeñ on Google. Might do a full year owner review later.
- Ah, and the Ford Sync 3.3 can be updated rather easily through internet sites.
Simply said. Its a car which I want to keep for a long long time. And off road, the faster, the better. And without speed traps. Which would be useless anyway by the amount of dust it throws up. So following isn't possible either and close in within a mile.
- Pure fun. And literally a big boys toy.
Wow, you’ve been clever with the mods. Love that nose dipping too it just makes you feel like you’re in a beast ☺️
Great video. Thanks.
Love your reviews Nobby
Spectacular interview. I'm American and the wry approach to Ford is actually exactly what I needed.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice piece on the delightful grey Ford Raptor. Clear, helpful, charming.. rare in the wanna be self appointed journo free for all, You tube world. Thankseversomuch.
What an awesome location. With the logs on both sides. Epic!
I've got one, love it and its Awesome!! Does a great job on the beach or in the bush. Thanks for the review!!
Hey Mark, looking into getting one of these myself but it will be for pulling a trailer with 2/2.5 ton at a time. Any experience with this weight behind it with regards to power etc? Cheers
I have one myself in the wood every day in Ireland and it can pull the 2.5ton no problem once ur in manual also tested a amarok not in the same level.
Great video Nobby! was very surprised to click on the video and see an Irish reg! we need more Irish youtubers like yourself! Great review of the Raptor I'll be looking for something to drop the little one to infants in september and I had my eye on one of these but I think after your review I may keep looking lol
Cheers Liam, great to have another Irish reviewer on board! It does the school drop off in its sleep ;)
Merica here. Rather envious of those beasts you have access to
great review mate, really enjoyed the details. Cheers from the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it, good luck tonight!!
Great video, this helped a lot!!
Thanks for watching!
Just brilliant! Oh when are the producers at BBC Top Gear going to arrive with a contract! Top review! Best content. And so funny! .
Builders, landscape gardeners and farmers form an orderly queue! Or pay more for Amrock and a VW badge. Stay safe.
Enjoying my ranger raptor for the past year. Great balance for on road comfort and off road agility.
A brilliant machine
Great review!
Thanks!
Great video !
Great video. I've been in the market for a truck, if they bring this to the U.S I'll be putting down a deposit in a heartbeat.
Great video
Best looking Pickup
Best looking truck by far
I am glad to see a truck up there in Ireland. I sell Rangers here in Colorado. Yours has some nice features and a diesel engine. I wish we had the Rock slider/running boards and the rolling bed cover. I laugh everytime you say it is "huge" or "compensating". I would love to get you in a real F150 Raptor or a Platinum F-350. That is compensating without compromise.
Did you say 60,000 euro? That is crazy for a Ranger. You can buy two Rangers in the USA for that have more horsepower and the steering wheel would be in the "right" side.
Keep up the good work.
i loved this video just for the fact he's relatable lol #loveit
Thanks for checking it out
Man it's crazy we still don;t have these in the US. Excited, great review man!
Thanks for checking it out 🇺🇸
Yeah I really wish they would sell them in USA not everyone here wants a F150 raptor they are too big
@@paulpeters5199 Too heavy on gas too.
Very good and accurate Review! I drive this truck since more than 1 year now and i am still very, very happy with it!
Thanks for checking it out - I can see why you'd love it a year on!
I’ve a 202 wildtrak but want this
Where do you live that needs a truck like this?
@@mamba101 The purchase of this truck was by no means a question of needs. We live in Vienna, Austria and we basically do not need a car at all but my family and i decided that if we go for another car it must be one primarely for the fun.
Yes, it is safe, it is comfortable, it is spacy but above all, it is pure fun!
Edward Malone I’ve mine cause I pull 4tonne every other week and the wildtrak does it jo bother
Great video!!!! Love my Raptor 😀
Thanks for having a look Charlie!
@@NobbyOnCars no worries buddy! I must do more videos on mine soon!!! :-)
Best 4x4 at the moment for 2l engine bi turbo plenty power good for the road only not for the bush
Good looking truck. 👌
A beast, oh to dream
Watching from the philippines
Feel like you’re describing a whole different vehicle to my experience. Tows my 2.5t boat like it’s not there. No issue hitting 150+kph from 100 in under 5 seconds when overtaking. Just traded up to 2l FX4 ranger from the 3.2 - heaps more power, feels much faster, much more economical, tows better. Ranger tows 3.5t raptor only 2.5t as the suspension can’t handle same payload, but has better articulation and baja mode etc.
Don't know about The Republic but in the UK it has a massive competitive disadvantage for any business user. Since it doesn't carry over a ton payload it does not class as a dual purpose vehicle so it is taxed in every way as a car. Not only is the VAT not reclaimable but neither is normal tax relief on purchase and the road duty [tax] is something ridiculous.
Another significant disadvantage for many is its reduced tow rating, way down from the Wildtrak's 3.5 tons. So no towing your mini-digger behind this.
Business users, which make up the vast majority of people who buy new pickups, will get almost everything you get on this on the Wildtrak which will be at least 30% cheaper to run overall. The ride of the latest Wildtrak running on rear leaves, isn't at all bad but not quite up to the coils on the back of this Raptor.
This is a flagship show model for rich kids to play with as a weekend car to complement their Aston Martin. Just look at the car or SUV you can choose for the same sort of money.
GO GO !!!
Ford voice control was in my mondeo in 2007, it was fine then too. Other vendors take note.
My dream car
Definitely need one in this family. Great video
Melt my heart ♥️ really # Raptor 2022 ..👍 Super Duper..👍👍👍😍😎
Next gen is rumored to have an available 2.7L TT Ecoboost V6 with 325 hp / 400 lbs-ft torque in certain markets. 0-60 in the low 5 second range and finally deserving of the rest of the truck.
I swear wtf is this not in the us?? Wtf is Ford thinking man
@@Mr.Thermistor7228 It's already an old platform about to be replaced, it also has a diesel motor not likely to meet US emissions. The current T6 Ranger platform won't currently fit a V6 motor needed for the US market. Those things probably prevented it from being sold here, but at least we will get the next gen.
*Sutt Yooooooot! Outstanding review. Thanks Bangkok-Johnnie, straight from UA-cam channel: “carsanookdotcom”*
Hopefully ford brings it to the USA that is one bad a$$ pickup,thanks for the review!!
Really good review, it’s a fabulous vehicle, I love mine, it is massive, but life is too short to drive boring cars as the saying goes.
Love the raptor and hopefully get it before the end of the year
I'm developing strong feelings for it
.well done clear and helpfull ,time to say goodbye to my invicible
One of the best reviews I have seen of this truck, I can't decide on this or a Navara which is modded after market... Which has the most space in the back for the kids? Only want it for the school run in the winter.. so hope it's this...
School run ? Considering a Navara over a Ranger Raptor ?
You should be driving a Great Wall or a Kia 🤣
The Navarra is not even close. It feels ancient and basic in comparison.
Just buy a 4wd car with some winters. A mate of mine has a 2wd Nissan Elgrand 3.5v6 with winters on, its fine
I'm waiting for the imminent arrival of the Ranger MS-RT. Carries the required weight for commercial vehicle status, very important in the UK.
Pics look good!
COOL
I was very surprised to see the Irish reg where you are looks really nice and I’m gonna guess your in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains
Dublin. Three Rock!
Getting a 2021 with 34k on clock tomorrow
Needs a V8!
Greetings from Detroit.👋
How the hell did you guys get this before us?!?😁
Great review!👍
No it dosnt..go buy the the full-size then
I am totally gobsmacked.....😍😍😍
I live in Missouri rural area I've been a fordman all my life I've owned every make n model at onetime or another but must say the best vehicles I owned were Fords all the ford cars n trucks I've owned hardly ever had problem with a ford now GM vehicles nothing but problems I've worked in the auto business most of my life. I noticed over the years the difference in quality between everyday cats n trucks n by far the fit finish quality of ford vehicles was much better than any others even down to the clips holding things together the quality of the plastic much better just feels better then other cars n trucks I'll swear by ford products especially the 5 0 n 300 cylinder indstrcutable motors every law enforcement agencies use ford vehicles still the old grand marquis crown vic's police interceptors tuff as nails thks
I've just been watching Jay Leno hitch a ride with George W in an F150 - now that's a truck!!
Yes!
It’s the best!
It's funny as an American hearing him describe this truck as huge🤣 In Texas we have F150 Raptors everywhere and they don't even feel that big because a F350 dually will park next to it and make it look tiny! I actually want this truck in the US because I love the F150 Raptor but want a smaller and cheaper version.
Its 3 years later - I am in market for a 2022 Raptor (as above) or a 3l v6 Amarok (also 2022). I never tow, don't do much real 4x4 climbing etc - do drive gravel road and dirt tracks for work. What would you buy? Please - the decision is killing me.
I don't need one but I still want one......lovely. And a big petrol engine sounds cool but drinks like a senior soccer team...so itś ok for me...
I bought one 6 weeks ago from Finlay’s in naas . You’re 100% right bout getting looks in it on the road. The tyres cost bout €380 each. Plug in the back won’t take a kettle. Only good for charging battery’s for tools in work. Kettle trips it out. I didn’t actually know I could tell it to set the temperature so I may have a look at that tomorrow 👍
I’m currently trying to buy one. Any issues with the commercial tax etc?
@@davidchandler9642 no issues at all. €333 tax for the year
@@conkers84 thanks james
@@davidchandler9642 no worries. I’m talking bout in Ireland now , there is an issue in the UK with tax tho . The garage I bought it off here didn’t even know about it over there
@@conkers84 so it is a commercial vehicle in Ireland. Tax, vat return and insurance are all commercial.?
Review the new hilux invincible.
We need this in North America.
RAPTORAK GOOOOHHHHHH
What is the best ford ranger raptor to buy? What is the most expensive RANGER RAPTOR?
Good review, only thing that stopped me getting one is its poor towing as I tow my boat around often. Still a great looking pickup 👌
Wildtrak 3.2L here, tows better than Raptor 2.0L
Totally agree
It’s not a commercial vehicle hence the luxury interior.
A lot of cash ? But I do love it 👌
So does anyone else have a noise from there injector pump?
My grandmother is from Ireland
Interesting perspective.
In the US, this truck (the Ranger) is seen as a really, really small truck well under all the other trucks on the road. It would be seen as an economical investment (still would be expensive-ish here, but much less than F-150s)
Here in Ireland, even this size results in a few disapproving looks on the school run.
@@NobbyOnCars bro go look at superduty on 37 inch tires
Just waiting for mine to turn up and literally couldn’t care less what anybody thinks 😂. Your only here once so if you want something get it or go do it !
enjoy it!
Hey robin. Can they be taxed commercially in Ireland.?
@@davidchandler9642 Sorry dude, I’m not in Ireland, I live in SE England.
In answer to your question partially they are not classed as a comercial vehicle due to the weight carrying limit in the rear tub. My Wildtrak has a rear carrying capacity of over 1000kg so classified as a comercial vehicle. (Keeping it as it’s a fantastic truck). My new raptor has a rear carrying limit of around 680kg so is not classed as a comercial vehicle unfortunately. The towing capacity is also not 3.5ton like the Wildtrak. With the raptor you can’t claim all the VAT back either.
Hope that helps and I will be doing a full side by side review of both the raptor and Wildtrak side by side on my other UA-cam Chanel The Vintage Restorer when the raptor arrives in a few weeks time.
@@robinandrew5776 thanks robin
Can you get them in a 6 speed manual? I have never owned an automatic gas guzzler, and I'm not going to start now.
Afraid not!
Interesting that this current generation of the Ford Ranger was developed by Ford Australia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Ranger_(T6)
Wow, 16 minutes of not showing what the ranger raptor was made to do. Off road at high speed. Wow, what a review. I have seen many reviews on this truck, most have raved of the capabilities. Yeah the engine could have more power, but that is about the only negative i have heard. I love my 17 F150 Raptor here in the States. Puts a smile on my face all the time.
Rules of the road apply to filming reviews I’m afraid.
These were designed in Australia I think 😃 And Australia is where I’m watching from
Nothing to be proud of,t he body work sucks. Looks absolutely pathetic. I mean the small size of the front grill and headlights is just stupid.
@@YTviewer118 Well I like the design of the older Honda ridgeline. I wonder what you think to it
@@josephcullen2512 Equally as shit.
@@YTviewer118 heheh any you do like
@@josephcullen2512 Ford Raptor (US Model)

10:40 Why is the Parking Brake light and Check Engine light on?
Because the ignition is in standby 🤷🏼♂️
The check engine light is on....😂😂
the ignition isn't fully on
RHD models for Europe built in South Africa.
In the UK maybe yeah but doesn't even come close to some of the Pickups they have in the US and AUS. Real F150s, Raptor R, Tacoma, 4runners
Ireland isn’t in the UK
@@NobbyOnCarsstill under the same car regulations and laws along with Europe. I wish we had the US trucks over this way
Not one second used to show the front suspension. Or any suspension component.
yeah thats a fail. huge part of the higher end sport trucks is how great the suspension systems are in these trucks.
"Normally, the Ford Ranger's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 270 hp and 310 lb-ft. That's enough, Motor Trend reports, to let the truck go 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. That's several seconds faster than the Jeep Gladiator and Honda Ridgeline."
My 2020 ford ranger XLT FX4 with 2.3 4cyl. Eco has about 250hp and about 280ft lbs of torque at the wheels and it's 0-60 is 7.4 seconds and govs at 110mph with throttle left
Ridgeline doesn't count
Genuine question: why would you buy a ranger raptor over a f150 raptor? Is it for the lower price and smaller size to fit in European cities?
Yes and for example in Ireland, F150 isn’t even available
That 4WD switch is horrendous
God i wish i could get a ranger raptor in america
They’re cool!!
The last model? I though this was the only ranger raptor
Just the normal Ranger etc
Hi what colour grey is this please?
Conquer grey
@@NobbyOnCars Thank you i have the blue on test but not sure about getting the Raptor or the dmax at35. More tech in the dmax.
how does the navara compare to this ?
Wouldn’t be as good off road.. this vehicle is built for crazy speeds off road
I live in Texas and ranges wellll... if you every come to the US get inside a F-150 and then skip the F-250 and go to the F-350 😂 the US loves huge trucks, you can still go on the F-250 but it’s not as impressive as a F-350 or even a F-450
Note: I still love the ranger and I can’t wait for the ranger raptor
We only have it for the F-150
Or you can go to Hennessy Performance and get one but it’s not the same as when you get it from a actual Ford dealership
Sounds like proper fun!
So big? Park that thing next to my full size Raptor and tell me that.
i hate the shape of the headlights on the new rangers, they are also way too tiny and make it look even more like a baby truck
As an F150 Raptor owner, I wish they would bring the Ranger Raptor to the states. I understand why they won't, but still 😔
Understand what? Why won't they? Unitl then I stick with my manual Tacomas
@@terrynichol577 pricing one out would put it's price in line with the F150 Raptor. People aren't going to go for that. That and they're committed to the diesel. Diesels aren't huge sellers in the US outside of 3/4 tons. The F150 3.0L Powerstroke sales arent the greatest. The Ranger just wouldn't move numbers here being in the 60k range. Just repeating what I was told at Fords Performance school.
@@Ryan40272 I agree about the diesel. Just bring the Gasser to Canada
This truck is huge? Apparently they don't have super duty trucks there. He would freak out over my F450 dually
I wouldn't freak out as I love vehicles, you must appreciate that an F450 just isn't a vehicle that you can buy or is needed in a country like Ireland.
💯
Should I buy one as a builder ?
They’re one of the best out there.
@@NobbyOnCars i finally bought one but I have an issue where I put it in reverse and it thinks I’m towing a trailer.
I got no guided lines or beebs
If I was to buy one of these utes I wouldn't touch the 2L. I'd be buying it in the 3.2L varient.
Explain why!
@@roninesce8362 Higher capacity motor means less strain on the motor, even for towing. Nissan went down this track years ago when they went from the 4.2L down to the 3.0L TD. The nissans eventually suffered from blown motors because the turbos failed. A lot of people recognised the issues before the motors blew and changed the turbos to aftermarket. Even today people are going into mechanical workshops with their nissan patrols having to replace either the turbo or motor. The same could be said for the new rangers going from 3.2L down to 2L. But it makes it worse that they have 2 turbos rather then one. Even more problems in the future.
But the gearboxes on the rangers are another big issue and another story all together.
Say this is a big truck lol 😂
Is this Ford Ranger Raptor a diesel Truck ??
Yes
It's a nice bus but the price is ridiculous over here. You could buy yourself a wildtrak, fit it out better than the raptors suspension set up and still have change I'd say. Also load rating is lower than the standard rangers and in the UK the raptor isn't classed as a commercial with regard to tax. Also Ford are currently selling off 2019 stock on 20 plates so some are missing the remote start function and assisted parking features.
That's a small truck for the US, also seems weak for the price
People really ask if you are compensating?
Not me personally... but I'd imagine the comment has been thrown at a driver or two
How much is the road tax for this?
€700 ish
@@NobbyOnCars oh, i thought it was on the highest band specially if you are not going to use it commercially.
Huge little steps lol
Needs a 1.6 with a shipped of torque leave the V8 to the rich and the not clued up
