Huge Power, Jumps & Skids (Ford Ranger Raptor 2023 review)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Chasing Cars 4WD expert Sam Young drives the new Ford Ranger Raptor twin-turbo V6 ute on-road and off-road to see whether it takes the crown as the best ute ever sold in this country.

The new Ranger Raptor is a serious improvement on the previous car, particularly when it comes to engine. The 2023 Raptor has a 292kW (391 hp) 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine, rather than the old biturbo four-cylinder diesel that produced 157kW.
Rivals for the Ranger Raptor are thin in Australia - but perhaps the super-ute class (incoming Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado) and also the V6 diesel-powered Ranger and Amarok.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Ford Ranger Raptor.

    I love the look of the Raptor, and finally an engine that deserves to be in it, would have been nice for Ford to offer a performance version of the V6 3.0L diesel as an option, great review it looks awesome, I want one, will wait a while to see how any reliability issues go before committing, probably the last ICE ute I will purchase before an electric version.

    Now the negatives: You mentioned the low mounted alternator. Very bad. Air intake at front of grill, first thing that dips into a river crossing is the front grill. Second battery position - where??? One fuel tank at 80 litres, not sufficient for this big country. The body is too wide for threading in between trees in the high-country. The thirsty petrol engine would require that the tub area is filled with fuel cans to have the range to attempt a desert crossing, ie Madigan Line. So, somebody else has to carry all of your other kit! Fast, sport ute, the hype is certainly there - however, given the above, where do you actually use it? Private tracks? An expensive fad that will fade in 2 years. Now, if there was the diesel option, twin fuel tanks and an uprated load rate - you couldn't build enough of them!

    Most reviews are getting 14L/16l per 100km. Thats same if not better than ya average LC anyway. Intake issues are no different to any other 4x4 from factory. Its no wider than any of the flares and 0 offset steelies 4x4s out there too. Biggest negative is probably that stupid 10 speed and the electric fuckin everything to be fair.

    May I suggest you are sitting way to far back in the drivers seat for safety. Look where race car drivers sit. They certainly don’t sit so far back that their arms are straight. They sit nearly with the steering wheel on their chest. It allows for quicker reaction times. I am bigger then you and I have plenty of room in the back for even me with the right driver position

    Where did you get the 31l / 100 , I used to own a XR6 Turbo Ute, and even under hard driving returned no worse than 17L / 100 ? people buying these are not buying them because they want replace their shitty Prius, it's a performance Ute so there will be a fuel penalty for that, if you don't like that, then you go for a different model with a diesel option, this vehicle is not for everyone, but at least it's there to choose if you want it, and who cares about your overpriced / lack of performance Hilux with engine problems, oh and don't forget there is a $80K plus Hilux which just gets a few extra stickers and ugly as plastic crap all over it, yeah that's a real bargain Toyota 😂😂🤣🤣
