Ford Ranger Raptor; versatile; value for money; off-roader: Ford Ranger Raptor Review & Road Test

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Ford Ranger Raptor isn’t cheap, at just under fifty grand, the sub-one tonne payload apparently means the tax man sees the raptor as a car, rather than a pick-up, meaning companies can’t claim back the tax as an expense. Im inclined to agree at this point, the government might actually have it right for once as this isn’t really a commercial vehicle, it’s a great all round on and off road car, its virtually an off-road racer, a big boys toy and once you understand that, it all starts to make sense.

    How is the performance like, on paper the new biturbo engine along with 10 speed gearbox sounds awesome! But the truck is really heavy though.... with nearly 2.5 tons! in weight, which gives it a power to weight ratio of 11.7 kg. My 2018 Isuzu Arctic Truck AT35 with its tuning chip installed has a power/weight ratio of 9.9 kg, 200hp/440nm. Stock figures are 12 kg, and 164hp/360nm. The interior of the Raptor is Nice!!🤙😎. Cheers and enjoy your great truck Mr Austria👍

I drive the truck in normal mode innercity and on the highway and there is never any shortage of power. on country roads i switch into sports mode and i can tell you, that truck turns into a different animal. Almost too much power for my wife´s liking...and i also have to say, riding with family on board i would not even want more power or more torque. A perfect truck in every aspect. All the best with your Isuzu - sounds like being very nice too! Best regards from Austria!
