I like it. But think I'd take a Bronco R over this...

Nice copy of the Ram 12" center stack lol

Never understood the new gen Ranger hate on here.

I love my Ranger and this one with all that tech and the stout 3.0 tt V6 should really scoot.

Maybe a less capable than the Bronco R, but should be quicker due to less weight.

And a hell of a lot less money.

I'd be happy with a slightly more capable Ranger Tremor and the 7-spd manual from the Bronco.

So the ranger raptor won't be available here in CONUS?

If yes, why? Why would an American car company make an "offroad truck" sold to a continent that doesn't exactly love pick ups, let alone offroaders?

I agree! That is really great looking. I love the front end. Honestly, if I was looking for a really nice looking smaller truck at a great price point, this would be my choice. Second choice would be the Tremor package.

Unfortunately, I doubt it will be at a great price point… then again, that metric will be a bit subjective… If you want a fantastic looking mid size rig that is extremely capable and dependable, you go to Toyota (Taco). TRD Pro if you wanna just add tires and be done or TRD Off Road if you want your own canvas to molest….

I have a Ranger Tremor on order, but I really like this Raptor version. The price is going to kill it for me. I'm guessing mid to upper 50's easily.

The manual would be nice. Even after tuning, still not a fan of the 10-speed auto. At WOT, it is heaven and I can see where a Mustang with an A10 would be hard to beat, but everywhere else it can be a mess one day and okay the next. Also, it is 2 gears too many. I usually lock 9 and 10 out. Pretty much useless unless you are hypermiling on the interstate.

I actually really like these new Ranger Raptors and didn't like the new Ranger much until I got to drive one and experience it. They are really nice trucks and I feel like the new Raptor will be a perfect balance.

Ford raping the Raptor name for everything "off-road" capable instead of giving each model their unique name. Marketing losers.
