Round The Fire Ay Damo those led lights - are they like the top model hilux lights that look like they’re changing colour.

Hi Dameo. Congrats on the new UTE! It is always with great interest that I watch the small differences between different models in different markets. My 2019 Raptor has the small tray in the center console and it does have 2 USB ports at the bottom. None at the mirror. My 2019 still has the manual pasganger seat and the HID lights, but I do believe the new 2020 spec here comes with electric passenger seat and LED headlights. Mine also has the pre-collision warning system, but I believe the 2020 has an upgraded system. You can adjust the sensitivity in the vehicle settings. I still have the "old" sync 3 headunit. Does your 2020 model also now have the indent in the front of the tub? Is saw your 2018 model had the "flat" front like the older spec Rangers. The newer spec Rangers as well as my 2019 Raptor has the indent in the front which does not mean much, apart from allowing Ford quoting a longer load-bed figure in the brochure and taking away your storage behind the rear seats.

@RoundTheFire

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate, I also like to see the slight differences around the world, that’s why I was kinda hoping for the 2xUSB in the centre console it’s a cool inclusion as most things these days charge from USB. our 2020 has still got the flat front of the tub...I’m not really sure if there would be too much benefit for that little nook space?? 🤔

@BravoFox27

4 жыл бұрын

@@RoundTheFire Like I said, it only allows Ford to quote a longer "Cargo Floor Length" on the spec sheet. The Raptor here on the spec sheet is 1743mm and the other models are given as 1549mm. Strangely, I have seen of the other models here also with the indent at the front on dealer floors. Even more strange, on Ford Australia's site, the Raptor also has a 1743mm floor length...

So it looks like all the good stuff what my Everest has is missing on the raptor, if the Everest only would share the awesome suspension of the raptor!

G'day Mate, the stock front bumper is still only made of plastic, it seems to be a fairly hardened type though. I have pushed a few small trees with it without seeming to phase the bumper? I wouldn't hold high hopes against a square hit on a roo while at pace but there definitely isn't any flex in the bar to the point where I'm actually thinking about mounting a light bar directly too it and feeling confident there won't be any flex or shake...?
