you do know its designed in Australia for Aussie Conditions It will eat everything the US has. Australia has had a Ranger Raptor for the last 4 or 5 years in the PX3 version but this one is a new another level. Also the first Production 4WD to finish the Fink Race here

Compared to other things you can get new RWD 400ish HP, this thing is weirdly kind of a bargain regardless. Especially if you want to seat 4-5 and have all weather capability. Too bad stealerships will make that moot.

Ford, like all manufacturers, need to make high margin on these types of vehicles in order to offset the losses on their less popular vehicles. That's how all industries work. Plus, the new Ranger cost billions (yes, with a B) to develop and get to production so they have to make up that cost plus profit somehow. 🙂

I hear people complaining about styling, and they're right, but know that styling like everything we like and own is subjective in the first place. What you don't like, does not affect someone else's decision. What you like, someone else doesn't. On the other hand, the market is open and wide, you can as well move over to other brands. Styling is indeed subjective. Andre, did you try the wireless charging pad? Will it fit a full-size phone- Samsung S23Ultra? This was what kept ne from the Explorer.

Awesome truck! Wish I could test drive

Watts link is instead of a panhard bar. The panhard bar makes the axle follows an arc, the watts link allows it to go straight up and down.

I personally miss the 'dip' the larger Ford trucks have on their front doors. I think it's such an awesome design element and really sets it apart from other trucks. Missed opportunity.

Nice truck but I'm not ready to adopt that Bud Light image.

Love the Ranger Raptor but holly hell that price tag.

Now how many recalls will this one have? Will it be available to purchase in the US without the dreaded dealership issues that are currently happening?

The Ridgeline in-bed trunk Ford and other EV Pickup Truck have Frumps for storage. Hyundai Santa Cruz little in-bed storage. GM little tailgate storage. Maverick and Santa Cruz Unibody pickup trucks. They are all flocking to that Maverick. Probably a lot that criticized the Ridgeline. The lay-flat bed that can hold those 4×8 sheets if plywood or drywall flat.
