The air vents on the next gen Raptor are not fake fyi, great video :)
Ah damn, got that wrong - good to know!
No they arnt they actually function
True. Functional same as all Ranger Variant
Same on the standard Ranger and I assume Everest.
Noooo.
As soon as I heard fake air vents (which you would expect most interested people would know they aren't) you kinda wonder how much research was put into this "review"..
Entertaining non the less
It's good that a car company that makes 4x4 utes has finally read the room, listened to customers and put a decent engine in it. V8 would've been even better but I'll make do.
700 hrps barra would have been better than a v8
The bigger the engine, generally, the more fuel you use and economy is a big thing to many people.
@@oldmanJ not if you want a performance vehicle.
@@damienfrizzell9394 yeah that is what i thought they could of used a FPV f6 engine imagine one of them with 100hp in it what a car
@@damienfrizzell9394 yeah that is what i thought they could of used a FPV f6 engine imagine one of them with 100hp in it what a car
They're heat extractors , not fake air vents.
Ive never fallen in love with a car so fast lmao will be ordering one
Mate, you deserve more subs! Totally an underrated channel. Keep up the great reviews! 👍
Not fake air vents. Nothing fake about this next gen super truck! Test drove it and couldn't buy one fast enough!
Great video!!! Absolutely cannot get over this moment at 2:20🔥
Dude that last spread was actually pretty good
Not fake air vents. Do the research boys.
🙃
@@CarSauce roasted 🤣
Great video and thanks for the high resolution. Also I think the vents are fully working, atleast the bonnet vents are.
All vents are fully functional, not sure if he checked them at all.
2:21 damn Matt, flexing on us with those moves.
U know me 💪
My local dealer threw the keys at me to drive one last week- WOW. Everyone is talking about the inner door handles-they are a tribute to the 70's F truck and much better than everything out there as you can hold the door as you open it.
BEST REVIEWS, BEST CAMERA AND COLOUR CORRECTION, YOU TWO HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY THE VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS FUN THANK YOU.
Buy one. No regrets. Enjoying my raptor for 3 years now🥰😍🤩
Awesome review!
This is the review I was waiting for! I needed someone as childish as I am to tell me how good it is 👌😂
Thank you.. Been waiting for this.
Ive got no need for a dual cab ute .won't be going off road won't be carrying anything won't be towing but I want one badly for bragging rights at a BBQ and looking so tough and cool at the maccs drive through
Great review! America is looking forward to getting the new Ranger Raptor maybe in 2024? You mentioned the towing capacity being 2,500 kilos. If I'm Imperializing those numbers correctly, that means the Raptor is towing roughly 5,500 pounds and the standard Ranger is towing 7,700ish pounds. Assuming the power trains remain the same and the steering wheel moves to the other side, I would expect we get something similar here with the Raptor and maybe some front end changes on the standard Ranger.
Wish us luck! The new body style was supposed to be happening in 2023 but it's been pushed back to 2024. I've ordered an old body style 2023 Ranger Tremor in the meantime so it will be interesting to compare it to all the new interior tech as our 2023 looks more like a 2003 inside.
It's amazing that you just assumed it's fake air vents... It's not Toyota, or VW. They It's a Ford. They do real engineering, and think about the machine and the operator in a practical and innovative way. Thank the heavens in 2022 we still have a manufacturer that can think for themselves and deliver amazing products. Thank you Henry Ford for an incredible legacy ❤️
Good point
Truth!!!
Agree
That was so annoying. I hate it when some dudes just loose all credibility for their opinions when they make mistakes like this. You have to know what you are talking about.
Love the video mate love you Charisma awesome
6:38 - ah yes, the familiar warp stabiliser analyze bar 🤣
Lovely review
@CarSauce its great seeing the analyse warp stabilisation from premiere at 6:36 😂
Monster!
Much love- zambia
It sounded like you guys were making your own car sauce when you were hooning around. What a ute.
Awesome Ute can’t want wait to test one 👏
I can’t wait to watch that vid!
@@CarSauce what a load of bollocks. You're obviously trying to make yourself look good and are pretending that you watch others uploads when you subscribed to NOBODY but most other car reviewers have a ton of other people they subscribe too so if they said that I'd believe them but not when you have zero interest in others.
What HHAHAHAHA
We’re literally mates and I watch all of his vids
@@CarSauce lol triggered 😂😂
Saw one of these yesterday in southeast London. Caught my eye because one of my daughter's four chickens is named Raptor 'cos she looks like a miniature velociraptor. The pickup I saw just looked stupid in London on local side road. My son could use a one with six seats and covered back in North Wales cattle farming now his wife just had 4th baby
Bruh your back pose was spot on lol, i can't wait to get my raptor in the US.. next year i think.. rocking a Tremor currently i think it's like your wildtrak but better. The air vents actually arent fake though, they have openings tbh.
Nice Raptor can't wait to see the Raptor R and how they measure up against the TRX
Wait! What was that tow capacity again? Great vid. Cheers, dd
Wow, big thanks 😊
I'll have to stick with my remapped Wildtrak for now but that is finally what's needed for the name.
Those final thoughts were definitely worth the weeks wait...
Can’t wait for it to go on sale in South Africa! 🇿🇦
Paul at car expert said the air vents are actually functional.
They are ,shows what he really knows.. hate when ppl talk about things they nothing about
Only issue Raptor is price & possibly fuel consumption being petrol compared to the 2 Diesel Wildtrack options
Desperately Need to off load my 2019 Hilux SR5 lemon while still under new car warranty
Not having a good experience with the hilux??
petrol is 20 cents less a litre than diesel and diesel is getting more and more pricey
You'll probably get close to what you paid for it!!!!
its almost like a 4x4 ute and a sport car had a baby . i own a fj cruiser and i30sedan n for roughly the same money as this one vehicle . I use to firmly think with vehicles its better to get built for purpose other wise you end up with compromise with the cross over vehicle hitting neither of the marks sufficiently enough . saying that, this does tick a lot of off road boxes and breaks new ground in off road sport driving but how is going to be fully laden with all the off road gear ? and yet again there are better on road sport cars you can get for half the price . this rapter has me wondering can 1 better than 2 ?
How long is life in Australia for off road ,but good on you ,but me Toyota fan thanks 👍👌
I want a Ranger Raptor now! 🥺
i have just ordered one 6 month wait though in nz
@@harrykiwi-lp9ri it will be worth the wait!
Cant wait for this to come to the US!
isnt keyless entry a standard feature?
Love how your leg is the same height as the shifter... totally rubs it and likely to bump the shift buttons. Why would they make that so low?? Everything else is pretty decent.
Looks like you lads had fun doing that😅
If you live in a country with cheap Gas, yes, super nice! If not, diesel still takes you everywhere too...
Can this ford cross Simpson desert?
I agree with you this beast more comfortable than new everest actually
I'm so sad the Ranger Raptor doesn't get the F150's red/orange seat belts :( but other than that, perfect car. just ordered mine. :)
Aftermarket
@@hi9580 yeah, of course thats always an option. but i find it to be a missed opportunity. either that or some deliberate distancing between the two.
If it hurts so much buy some red/orange belts online and fit them,problem solved.
3.0 V6.
Would be next RB/2J even VQ engine
Can you do the "pee poo pee poo" every episode, Matt? It's so hilarious 🤣
In the UK the normal ranger can pull 3.5 ton and the raptor only 2.5 ?
Suspension man, FFS read a review or two !!
Need to do your research before you do a reveiw.
Air vents are functional and the Ford badge is actually black instead of traditionally blue.....
True. How I wish I have this car😁😁😁😁😁😁
Are the front seats heated?
What a fabulously flamboyant ford! What every equally fabulously flamboyant ford fancier should drive, when they arent swaddled in leather on their Harley Davidson or sinking a few ice cold Bud Lights with that special Dylan in their life.
Well what can I say 😊 You boys have a talent. There’s is no way I thought I’d watch the whole vid. Love your style had me from woe to go 👍🏼 Thanks
Vents aren’t fake
Is it just me or does the new raptor look no where near as pumped up as the last one?
No just to many modifiers on standard rangers out there 😂
Yes the old one looks more pumped but the new raptor sits side by side with the normal ranger you could tell that it’s taller and and looks much fierce. Ordered mine in Malaysia but the waiting list is around 1 year, sad😢
6:38 warp stabiliser needs another go bro 😂
It killed me seeing that
@@CarSauce happens to everyone at least once.
Why is the speedo blurred out 😂😂😂
Great review. Probably one of the best I've seen. Love this truck except for one thing. The bloody fuel consumption is mentally ludicrous. I've had mates who've taken this thing off road and seen 30L/100km FFS. Even around town you'll be lucky to see under 15L/100km. Sure some wife-beaters out there will say "Nobody buys this for the fuel economy" but let's see how long these former inmates laugh after six months of ownership. I'd say they'll be back to robbing grannies for money and be back inside and a few of these trucks (mostly bought on hire purchase at insane interest rates) will be back on the market.
Yes Darren - the fuel consumption is ridiculous and glad to have it confirmed because many online folk disputed my claims about this but with the greatest respect Ford like Holden is only a brand a bogan could love and the least likely to be concerned about the planet - they like to annoy us with their power and noise intruding on our peace - I do drive an unmodified Hilux because it does everything I need and my senior age means I don’t have to show off - Ford also has poor reliability - yes Toyota were neglectful recently but I will own one above anything else.
@@johnnumbat9782 Yep. Agree. The last thing we all need (but are going to get) are thugs driving these things on the road, terrorising sane motorists via acts of intimidation. Of course such thugs also think they're the world's best drivers. Combine that power with a light rear end and many of these wanker tanks will end up wrapped around trees or worse - murdering some poor father's innocent daughter coming the other way.
@@darrenprior6339 thank you for your respectful reply Darren. - yes I also worry about my daughters (three and grandchildren) being taken away by some of these thugs - the world needs smarter folk like you to try and balance this and yes I know there are good respectful drivers out there - if people want to make uninformed emotive decisions with all their ‘hire purchase’ funds then that’s their cross to bear - you can live in a house but not really a car forever - stay safe and avoid the thugs if you can and enjoy your next 4WD trek.
Shame its not classed as commercial vehicle in the UK so not Tax deductable. Which limits its market by many country miles. I have a Ranger storm due in December which has the 1 tonne capacity so tax deductible. happy days.
You can fit a bigger pallet with less on it 🤣
Its a sports car on all-terrains
These "mini" Raptors are awesome. This was what I joked about getting if I couldn't get the F-150 Raptor, but back then they didn't exist. I guess Ford thought that these Rangers would make great "mini" Raptors too. But I got lucky and found a great deal on the exact black on black Raptor I wanted. It's a 2010, and in great shape.
Great review guys! I love seeing these little dudes in action.
It’s an Australian thing, all built in Asia to Asian specs, for $100 grand. Full size picks ups are up to $160 grand. We are robbed for choice, robbed for delivery and just robbed blind on price.
Tow capacity is a bit dissapointing. Engine seems like the best feature and hopefully the 10 sp is more reliable. Sure to attract a lot of cashed-up tradies looking for power aka mines bigger n your's maate!
I’m scared of people owning these knowing how it made me feel 🤣
It is being made for third world countries like Thailand South Africa and Australia… china gets the 110K real raptor
Tow capacity is to not make the standard one pointless
hopfully it will take a few caravans off the roads
Four years and 116,000km in a first gen Ranger Raptor and never once has the 2500kg towing been a drama....... most people who actually buy one either:
- Don't need to tow big loads thus don't care...
- Have a second car that can tow bigger loads...
Changed my Everest pre-order for a Ranger Raptor. Yes, I have to wait 6 months longer but well worth it :) BTW, NOT FAKE AIRVENTS :) THEY ARE REAL WORKING AIRVENTs. ALSO, BTW, at about 20min when you guys are giving the Raptor the beans you guys sound like a gay porn video, really.
We are in a bromance
How do you know so much about gay porn videos? 😉
@@CarSauce With fisting.
I f@%king love mine I can't get out of it absolute beast... 💪🏾.. Eats the old Raptor it's double the car..
so I think this car would do better on dry road maybe it can go less than 5.5 seconds to 0-100.
Me.Reviewer, those air vents at not fake. Get your facts straight.
Don't know why they call it eco boost as there isn't any eco 🤣. Should be called the 3L Thirst Tanker.
Can you drive day to day in 2wd? or does it lock the diff in 2wd?
lol
2WD is open diff... you can lock diff in Baja mode at speeds up to something like 85kph but over that it'll unlock
@@dwaynE2099 haha yewww
That thing uses a lot more fuel than my 800 hp hsv. I will keep my tuned v6 amarock thanks 😊
And more than my 775hp Whipple F150. However, I don’t run 32” all terrains, do you? Either way It’s a promo review for sure…
Just over, ruf me , Ive just priced one up its $94 grand and no promise of delivery time.
Driving would be a real blast, ownership beyond warranty maybe not.
How can you possibly know that lol.
People who bash on any new car about " wait untill warranty ends " blah blah blah. It is such a hollow argument.
@@1989cranston Valid point, let me know how ownership goes for you.
@@eternallearner8185 I'm not buying one, I'm saying your argument against ANY new car is invalid. I'm not a Ford fan boy complaining back, I'm saying as an average person, you sound like an idiot.
@@1989cranston I think you need to buy one of these.😅
So, did you like it?
...the air vents are functional
16:40 I'll just leave it there 😳
We have Blue in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Not to be a downer but, what was your average fuel economy over those 2k kms? 😬
People who buy these don’t care.
Fuel the last thing you think off when buying a raptor
16.6l/100km… mainly highway 🥲
@@CarSauce the coyote V8 would have been better and less thirsty.
@@bernardpeel7133 my G wagon is around 19
Those poor cow’s 😢
the ones you eat and turn into shit 3 or 4 or 5 times a weeK?
90k not much money for what you get??? 4 doors and a tray wow this generation gets so excited with just that at 90k
Any of the Ford ecobost engines almost sure to last till end of warranty..almost🤪
They’re great engines been proven
Air con vents are ugly (to me) 90k+ plus is for people with great jobs or rich parents (unless one gets finance lol) its a look at me dual cab ute
16:40 🤨🤨
everyclip i watch on the Rangers or Raptors the steering looks so light and appairs it has no feel ??
Come on you lot in Australia it’s not a Ute it’s a pick up truck your utes where different and for your country
$90,000aud…guess I don’t need to watch any further (even when converted to cad). 😢
why buy anything else. the rest of the competition doesnt even come close, I wish they would add the hybrid system from the ford mavrick
just made those 2 litre diesel previous models redundant and useless.
You can still option the new Raptor with the same engine in some countries. Not everyone wants speed, they would rather have range.
0-100km/ in 5.7sec with a 55kg jockey and a tailwind, slightly down hill. 😬
Maxx Performance just got 5.5 with lighter rims wrapped with road tires today out at the drags🤯
We are two heavy boys so you can add 200kg with our camera gear 😅
@@CarSauce don’t blame the camera gear fatty
remember this is a truck pickup
I hate the massive compute screen
My rugged x will still be going when this ford is is dead gone and forgotten.
90k for a Ranger wow 🤣
Air vents are not faked by the way….
It's the best Ranger, but it's not mind blowing.
What Factory currently builds anything like it buddy ?!
I’m not at all speechless and not surprised that this is looking more like a US truck because that’s what ‘blokes love maaate’ - the reviewer should take a leaf out of Shauno’s 4WD 24/7 review against the previous model because there’s a lot of poor ideas in the underbelly and engine bay Including the ridiculously poor fuel economy - yes bogan’s love their big Fords and Holden’s and many are gravitating towards the latest utes regardless of cost because they’re embarrassed to be seen in their old ‘Falcoon’ ute.
The interior does look like a children's toy. Which is also about how long this thing will last before it all starts falling apart.
Spot on aye. I wasn't overly happy with the inside. I don't get fords choice of the orange accents inside. Looks cheap I reckon.
Hopefully series 2 facelift change the interior colour
Dear Hilux fanboys: Don't even try the shit that we do in our Next Gen Ranger Raptors.
Heaps of leg and toe room in the back seat.. come on man🙄
