Whoever chose this location needs a raise. The drone work is superb. The Raptor and the Man behind it's wheel had the perfect stage and they performed nothing less than Excellence
I got my Raptor today and even if i watched like 100 Raptor Videos i was just stunned. This car looks so big, so massive, so good. But its still very easy to drive, my wife and i found it particulary easy going right from the start. And, black is the colour to go. We had our doubts but since we saw a blue one and one in grey today we have no doubts anymore that we made the right choice.!
@Wojciech Kamiński i drove the car over 800 km in the first 3 days in asphalt roads only and i can tell you: the car is so smooth and easy to drive. I never drove anything like this before!!
@@itumelengmahaole5890 Hi, thanks for asking. I am absolutely happy with our truck. The last 2 years we took it for a big summerholiday drive through Hungary, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia all the way down to the south of Greece and i can tell you, it was pure fun and we never had any troubles. None whatsoever in all the almost 4 years now. We definetely will keep it and not do the (very expensive) upgrade to the newer version., the 6 cylinder model. We could not be happier with the choice we made!
@@andijvie3119 i do not know about the sound you mentioned but i agree, it is rather hard to keep the Raptor clean. But, this truck looks great even when dirty. I still love this truck!

D K this raptor is overhyped.. this has over heating issues.. plus in uphill.. this is slow as your brain.. they should have made this in 2.5 or 3.2 engine.. even in straight road, the navara would smoke this
Fantastic Video!!! I will get my Raptor in about 2 weeks but i begin to wonder If i made the right decision to buy it in black. The Raptor looks so cool in blue. Hope mine will come close.... Once again, great great Video!!!!
@@Bling_The_Visual_Creator You're right. We're not there yet, though progressing slowly but surely. I love the F150. I love all those US trucks really.
I think that is the most amazing review that you ever had. It's expensive, but it is the price that you have to pay to be your funny smile in the video. Only a few cars on the world can gives this sensations and the ranger raptor is one of them. Less than 55.000 €, 9 litters to 100 kilometers on road, and a terrenal maintenance, it,s not cheap, but it is still accesible to a lot of people who want enjoy the drift and jump with a car among other things. Thank you fot read me.
I'm considering a pickup and the raptor has caught my eye big time. Really fancy one but the payload deficit is a bug for me, on the other hand the ability to jump over things seals it, I think 🤔 it would be real fun in London.
The 2.0 bi-Turbo diesel is fine but it really would have been nice to have and option to upgrade to the 2.7 or 3.5 EcoBoost V6’s as an extra, I honestly think those engines would suite this bakkie’s performance characteristics a lot better, especially on the road. I know a diesel makes more sense in many ways, but if I were personally in the market for a Raptor I’d pay a good chunk extra to have an EcoBoost petrol under the hood, then at least when I pull up to the lights next to a base Fiesta 1.0 it won’t be able to smoke my R700k Raptor like it could at the moment....
@@gingerjacaranda I do somewhat agree with you however, in its defence, the 1.0 EcoBoost Fiesta is a rocket-ship in its own right. Before my Fiesta ST I had the 1.0 EcoBoost and I frigen loved that car, when I first got it my whole family was shocked how quick it was for a 3-pot 1.0, we put it up against the best we had to see what it could do, it smoked my dad’s 4.0 V6 Hilux, his V6 Grand Cherokee and my moms 2010 BMW 323i which is also a 6-cylinder motor... Yes all three of those care are much heavier than a little Fiesta, but its still impressive. I was properly impressed with that little engine, it also sounded awesome, I almost prefer the sound of the 3-cylinder 1.0 to my 4-cylinder 1.6 ST. Ford knows how to make a properly good 3-pot motor, I’ve driven the VW Polo 1.0 TSI and its nowhere near as good as Ford’s engine, it sounds like trash in comparison and its refinement doesn’t even come close to the EcoBoost. Point being, the 1.0 Fiesta is not to be taken for granted. Having said that and getting back to the Raptor, that vehicle is 4x the price of a 1.0 Fiesta so it really should be able to hold its own against it in a straight line, however Ford isn’t targeting the straight line performance or 0-100 acceleration, the “performance” being referred with regards to its high-speed off-road, suspension and chassis capability. It’s not competing with a Fiesta ST or Focus ST for road handling or straight-line performance, because that not the sort of ‘performance’ aspect its best at. Think of it this way, if you had to think of a Fiesta doing what it can do at its very best you’d think of a tight, nimble responsive road focused pocket-rocket... Thus we got the ST model. If you had to think of what the Ranger could do best, you’d think off-road... Thus we get the Raptor. After saying all that you might be under the impression defending it’s lack of a proper performance engine, I’m not, I’m just saying I understand where Ford is coming from, 85% of buyers don’t actually care or would rather have the diesel for better fuel-efficiency anyway, and its fine if they want to sell it with that engine, but like I said originally, it shouldn’t have been the only engine option. With the 2.0 bi-turbo motor Ford should have just called it the Ranger Raptor and not branded it a ‘Ford Performance’ vehicle, then they should have had an optional upgraded model with a petrol V6 EcoBoost and branded that one with ‘Ford Performance’ livery, that would have made more sense in my opinion.
Daniel Graham you realise the Raptor in the USA is also slow right, it's also judged on ability , take a super car and that dirt roads and it performance is shit, relative performance it what they mean with this.
An American here. 1) what's a bakkie? The only thing I could guess was maybe it's the bed 2) every time I hear him call it a car I cringe inside. IT'S CALLED A TRUCK, A TRUCK. 3) I wish this was available in America.
1. Bakkie is a South African word for Pickup. 2. It's still a car even if it's a "Truck". Few people would ever call this small thing a truck down here. Large Tractor Units (18 wheelers, I hear they call them on American TV shows) are what we consider trucks. But you know - Semantics, divided by a common language. 3. I believe it'll soon be. 4. Bonus numbered paragraph. Have a great year.
@@jobkunda we also call 18 wheelers semi trucks as another example, and also thanks for understanding that the 2nd point was intended to sound very sarcasticly humorous, like I was saying "A TRUCK" very loudly and stretched out, when in reality it doesn't realy matter that he isn't calling it a truck.
Fun fact: in Australia, they're not considered to be trucks! They're just another category of car! Also, just like South Africa has the word "bakkie," Australia has the word "ute."
Greetings from Bergvliet, Cape Town. Great review, but as a blind person the good olf faithful Isuzu Kb 2.5/2.8 trubo diesel wins my heart. It isn't enormous like these modern Hilux and Ranger models which are tanks in my opinion and it isn't so high for you to battle to get in and out of but it's high enough to see the road ahead and it has a proper truck-like engine sound. If a bakkie has too much turbo and fan noise that makes it sound like a turbine then it's not a proper bakkie.
Agree! I bought a 2018 Isuzu Dmax Arctic Truck AT35 and am very happy with it, it is a lot higher and wider than stock, but feels quite nimble and light. think the Ford is awesome and the engine is a real beauty, but the car is big n heavy. I think it is 400-500 kg, or more, (correct me if I am wrong..) heavier than my Dmax. Cheers from Norway
Dear people of the rest of the world, I live in a country where the ranger raptor costs $150,000/- USD. If you can own the ranger raptor in your country at around USD $50k to $70k then just buy it. Plus if you are in a country where Ford does not sell the bigger Ford Raptor then don't decide just go for it. I drive a toyota hilux. They only cars I've owned are pick ups all my life. So I know a lot about pickup trucks. I really don't want any other vehicles other than pick up in my life. The most beautiful pick up I have ever seen my life is the Ranger Raptor. I love the size, performance, suspension, quality, color everything about this beast. I wished I could own it. I have test driven this vehicle. I loved it. Only problem is the price in my country. I will own it one day. But for the rest of the world please dont waste time comparing and looking at other pickups. Just go for the Ranger Raptor. You lucky bastards.
Great video with one complaint, It’s a TRUCK!!!!!, NOT A CAR LOL. Don’t feel alone, even here in the US some people refer to a obvious pick up as a car. Good job and great video sir!!!
Ok Kavi4, If that’s what you guys call a truck where you’re at I certainly respect that! Thanks, you have taught me something I didn’t know. Be safe there good man!!
Fun fact: in Australia, they're not considered to be trucks! They're just another category of car! And you wanna know the reason why? Because a Raptor is a completely different animal from something like a Kenworth!
It won't sell many in the UK, because its reduced load capacity takes it out of ' dual purpose commercial vehicle' tax classification, which means business owners lose the ability to get full tax relief and to reclaim the VAT on it. Also the annual tax for private use will be much higher than normal for a pickup I believe. Similar tax situation in many other countries, which is why all these vehicles usually have a 1050Kg-plus payload. Also in many countries they really do need the 3.5 ton towing capacity, although that isn't such an issue for this particular model.
Yes, for the first time I feel I can say I would like to own a Ford. The sand jumping ... my old Pajero Gen2 3,5V6 could and probably still would easily stay with the Raptor in sand .. but again, YES, I would like to own the Raptor but sadly R786K is way over my budget .
In my own opinion about this huge beast is it might not a big price to buy but when it comes to the maintainance it, so much money can fly away. I told this base on the selling and market in my country. At Malaysia. What a great truck to own but so sad the maintainance is a huge matter tho 😅
It's about time we got a raptor in SA... In an ideal world, every car would have a performance focused counterpart but alas a car zealot can only dream😪
Greetings again from Bergvliet, Cape Town. I must admit that Ford definitely have come a long way in improving their turbo diesel engines for the Ranger because the 2.2l engines and now the new 2.0l engines sound more truck-like which is good, but like in my previous comment the good old faithful Isuzu Kb 250/280 turbo diesel wins my heart any day as a blind person with the Hilux 2.5d4d in second place. I must also admit that I'm not really that keen on the Hilux either because vertually everyone buys them which makes it really boring in my opinion but the 2.5d4d double cab still takes second place to the Isuzu Kb 250/280 turbo diesel because the engine might not sound as truck-like as the Kb but it does sound a lot better than the 3.0d4d.
Ewan Du Plessis well here in our place some are already detonated.. over heat issues and its very slow uphill.. 2.5 or 3.0 engine will best suit this truck
Markus Very impressive really a great bakkie ,but the real test is when this thing has 200000km on the clock then you have to test it again .You need to choose a couple of bakkies with that km on the clock and test them again then we will see which one does the best any new bakkie is great but is there live after death

I rode in a friend's Raptor recently and these bakkies are amazing off road...and on road too lol. Love to own one myself.

At 4:01 the word Baja is pronounced "Baha" so yea
Price has increased to R806000
Awesome Ranger Raptor!
I desperately need this to be in America
But you have the real deal F150 Raptor. Why lust for the pretender?
I love Tacomas but that new ranger raptor looks extremely capable
47 dislikes as of now are from toyota fanboys
I rather buy a Toyota that this crap, if you whant to buy the Raptor, buy the real one. Not a ranger with a Raptor tool kit.
Best video ever made by you guys.
Thank you so much :)
that jumps ❤️
Moose Test is amazing
Greetings again from Bergvliet, Cape Town. I must admit that Ford definitely have come a long way in improving their turbo diesel engines for the Ranger because the 2.2l engines and now the new 2.0l engines sound more truck-like which is good, but like in my previous comment the good old faithful Isuzu Kb 250/280 turbo diesel wins my heart any day as a blind person with the Hilux 2.5d4d in second place. I must also admit that I'm not really that keen on the Hilux either because vertually everyone buys them which makes it really boring in my opinion but the 2.5d4d double cab still takes second place to the Isuzu Kb 250/280 turbo diesel because the engine might not sound as truck-like as the Kb but it does sound a lot better than the 3.0d4d.
2.0 litre kicking out that much power...Sounds like a ticking time bomb to me
Ewan Du Plessis well here in our place some are already detonated.. over heat issues and its very slow uphill.. 2.5 or 3.0 engine will best suit this truck
Denmark Debolgado you’re spewing the same lies as in previous comments lmfao
200bhp is nothing in a modern 2L even for a diesel

Very impressive really a great bakkie ,but the real test is when this thing has 200000km on the clock then you have to test it again .You need to choose a couple of bakkies with that km on the clock and test them again then we will see which one does the best any new bakkie is great but is there live after death
Ciro likes bakkies now guys it's a new day.
I love this truck!
Just a FYI is pronounced “Baha” it’s a Spanish and named after the famous area in Mexico where a big off road race is held every year.
I cannot understand why this is not available here in North America.
watching this vid in 2022 and you are complaining about 2019 fuel prices.
Awesome video, love the new Raptor
Awesome review.
Brilliant
Minute 5:55 how do you get your lights to do that ?
Hilux Legend 50 vs the Ranger Raptor which is better? So many conflicting reviews. Reliability is the concern for me.
Chassis looks good👌 Will be interesting to see how the engine and turbos hold up in the long term. Great video
