The All-New 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor: The KING of the Wild

For a long time, truck enthusiasts from North America have been jealous of their colleagues from Australia and South Africa, because of the Ranger Raptor. They had access to a cheaper, more nimble and equally impressive off-roader as the F-150 Raptor. Even worse, that pickup was also sold in Europe, a part of the world that is anything but a traditional pickup market. Fortunately, those days will soon be a thing of the past, because the Ranger Raptor is finally coming to the U.S market - better, more agile and stronger than ever.

0.18 -> for a long time truck enthusiasts from North America have been jealous of their colleagues

4.98 -> from Australia and South Africa because of the Ranger Raptor they had access to a cheaper more

10.68 -> Nimble and equally impressive off-roader as the F-150 Raptor even worse that pickup was

16.86 -> also sold in Europe a part of the world that is anything but a traditional pickup Market

21.84 -> fortunately those days will soon be a thing of the past because the ranger raptor is finally

27.66 -> coming to the U.S market better more agile and stronger than ever stay with us as we

33.9 -> are going to check if the all-new 2024 Ford Raptor is really King of the Wild

39.84 -> if there is something Ford Engineers know to make that's a pickup truck the F-150 has been

45.24 -> by far the best selling pickup in North America for nearly five decades but in some crazy sense

51 -> that popularity was also a kind of a double-edged sword it made Ford Management believe that the

57.42 -> company doesn't need anything smaller than a full-size pickup in its lineup eventually the

63.24 -> ranger was discontinued while the development of the next generation was moved to Australia

68.58 -> soon after it became obvious that this was a mistake in the last decade or so mid-size

74.88 -> pickups became popular again mainly because of the affordable price and better maneuverability

81.06 -> the Toyota Tacoma took over the market so Chevy a company that also dropped its mid-size pickup

87.18 -> from the U.S market decided to act first it brought back the Colorado while Jeep released

93.84 -> the brand new Gladiator eventually Ford decided to bring back the ranger in 2019 however that model

101.46 -> came back with a pretty modest offer with just a couple of trim levels and a single powertrain

106.86 -> option although a good pickup it wasn't available in a dedicated off-road version Ford focused on

113.7 -> the full-size F-150 Raptor while the competition realized that smaller pickups are actually a way

119.76 -> better Proposal with the prices skyrocketing in the last couple of years more and more off-road

125.82 -> enthusiasts were preferring models like Tacoma TRD Pro Colorado ZR2 and Gladiator Rubicon Ford on the

134.16 -> other hand hesitated to bring Ranger Raptor to North America well that finally changes with the

139.92 -> Next Generation Ranger although also developed by Ford's Australian Department it will finally bring

145.56 -> its full offer to North America including Raptor the new Raptor will be even better

150.6 -> and among other qualities it will also feature class-leading engine power so let's start with

156.36 -> the powertrain section first as mentioned Ford has been hesitating to launch Ranger raptor in

161.88 -> North America for years and we think that the main reason was the powertrain namely the Australian

167.46 -> Ranger was equipped with a four-cylinder turbo diesel that although a great engine wasn't

172.62 -> something U.S truck enthusiasts would choose over a proper V6 or Turbo 4 gasoline engine

179.04 -> with the recent redesign the ranger Raptor finally gets a proper powertrain a super capable 3-liter

185.82 -> twin turbo V6 gasoline engine essentially this is the same engine that powers the Bronco Raptor just

191.94 -> a tiny bit detuned instead of 418 it features 405 horsepower and the max torque stops at 430 pound

199.74 -> feet 10 fewer than the super capable SUV we don't know the exact reason for this minor detune but

207.06 -> what's important is that the ranger Raptor will still feature by far the most powerful engine

212.04 -> in the class Chevy Colorado ZR2 is good for 310 while the upcoming Tacoma TRD Pro with a hybrid

220.74 -> powertrain will offer 326 horsepower however it's worth mentioning that Toyota's new hybrid

227.7 -> setup will be second to none when it comes to Max torque 465 pound-feet compared to Raptors 430.

235.14 -> in any case the new ranger Raptor has plenty enough power to be an ultimate desert Runner

241.02 -> just like in every other Ford pickup in North America this Raptor will also use a

246.18 -> 10-speed automatic transmission with selectable Drive modes which will send power to all wheels

252.06 -> just like the F-150 Raptor the ranger Raptor comes with significant off-road upgrades over

258.6 -> the standard version as you may presume the suspension setup brings probably the biggest

264.06 -> revisions first of all the rear suspension drops good old leaf springs and gets a way more advanced

270.36 -> setup instead with radius arms and coil over shocks that are now mounted outboard the frame

276.78 -> at the front you will find an upgraded aluminum control arm as well as a revised shock mount

282.3 -> the ranger Raptor offers 10.7 inches of ground clearance a 1.4 inch increase over base versions

290.04 -> that's still notably less compared to the Bronco Raptor but let's keep in mind that this pickup is

295.2 -> imagined as a desert Runner rather than a classic rock crawler therefore we are way more interested

301.5 -> in suspension and boy things are really impressive in this aspect at the front this Ranger offers 5.2

309.12 -> inches of jounce and 3.9 inches of rebound as well as 5.0 inches of jounce and 3.8 inches of rebound

317.16 -> on the rear end with base 33-inch all-terrain tires the new truck will also be available with

323.7 -> bigger 35-inch tires and in both cases you may count on standard bead lock capable 17-inch wheels

330.3 -> of course the heart and soul of this suspension setup are 2.5 inch fox live valve internal bypass

337.56 -> shocks which have been specially tuned by Ford Engineers to perform in seven different modes

343.2 -> the following modes are normal tow haul sport slippery off-road Rock crawl and Baja front

350.58 -> and rear lockers are also part of the standard equipment but it's worth mentioning that this

354.66 -> pickup doesn't feature a stabilizer bar disconnect something that the new TRD Pro does have on the

361.38 -> other hand thanks to the Australian Engineers the ranger Raptor will have one big Advantage

366.78 -> not just over classmates but also over Bronco and F-150 it will come with a Watts linkage

373.14 -> that locates the live axle laterally which is a superior technical solution over a classic

378.84 -> panhard Rod that provides Superior performance in cornering the new off-roader comes with the

384.6 -> exterior design you would expect from something with the Raptor Badge Of course massive cladding

390.3 -> is all over the place while the huge black Grille with Ford lettering is yet again the highlight

395.16 -> of Raptor's front-end design also proportions are slightly different compared to the standard Ranger

401.1 -> starting from the 4.3 inch wider track the whole body is wider so there is no room for side steps

407.88 -> we already talked about higher ground clearance which is also the reason for a better approach

412.98 -> departure and break over angles in numbers that would be 33 26.4 and 24.2 degrees respectively as

423.66 -> a proper off-roader the ranger Raptor also features massive underbody protection that

428.76 -> covers every vital part of the truck including the engine transmission transfer case and fuel tank

435.6 -> and yes we almost forgot to mention that the North American version will get a steel front bumper

440.88 -> while the rest of the world will get Plastics exclusive Raptor features are on the inside

445.62 -> as well compared to base models this pickup will come with a few important upgrades starting from

451.92 -> the new heavy bolstered seats and a sportier steering wheel the black interior comes in a

457.86 -> combination with a lot of orange accents found on the stitching steering wheel around air vents

464.04 -> Etc also the list of standard equipment is longer and includes Dual Zone climate control and heated

470.7 -> seats along with a full load of modern tech features speaking of the tech features goodies

476.64 -> like a 12.4 inch touchscreen 12.4 inch digital instrument cluster Wireless smartphone integration

483.72 -> and Wi-Fi hotspot will also be part of the standard equipment while navigation and a premium

489.6 -> 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system will be optional the off-road suspension usually brings

495.9 -> one big compromise and that's limited Towing and payload capacity the ranger Raptor won't be any

502.38 -> different as the max towing capacity will be 5510 pounds which is nearly 2 000 pounds lower compared

510.24 -> to the base Ranger which can tow up to 7500 pounds more importantly the max Towing rating is notably

517.98 -> lower when compared to key Rivals Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Chevy Colorado ZR2 which can both

525.18 -> tow 6000 pounds the same as with payload capacity which is rated at 1.411 pounds for comparison the

533.16 -> regular all-wheel Ranger is good for about 1.711 pounds while the rear wheel drive model goes even

539.52 -> further with a class-leading payload capacity of 1.805 pounds things look way better when compared

546.66 -> to key Rivals especially Colorado ZR2 which is good for no more than 1.151 pounds we've been

553.86 -> waiting for Ranger Raptor with open arms for years but things are now a little bit trickier than they

558.6 -> used to be the competition is much tougher because almost every player in the segment has a super

564.18 -> capable off-road variant on offer of course it all starts with Jeep Gladiator which comes with two

571.14 -> impressive off-road versions Rubicon and Mojave which may not have as peppy powertrain but offer

577.62 -> Superior ground clearance as well as approach and departure angles along with impressive off-road

583.56 -> Hardware the Colorado ZR2 is as impressive with the same amount of torque as the Raptor and a

589.68 -> versatile daily commuting friendly design moreover the new ZR2 bison is coming with further upgrades

597 -> as an ultimate over Landing machine loaded with features and accessories finally let's not forget

603.18 -> by far the most popular midsize pickup on the market Toyota Tacoma the new generation is on

609.6 -> the way and this time the Japanese manufacturer will offer two super capable off-road versions

615.3 -> besides the TRD Pro there is also the new Trail Hunter which will come with all the features you

621.06 -> need to conquer any part of the world both models will feature Toyota's new hybrid powertrain with

627.24 -> class leading torque which should also offer class-leading fuel efficiency after a couple of

633.06 -> delays order books for the ranger Raptor finally opened in late May and we expect first delivery

638.76 -> sometime in August or September as for the price the North American Ranger Raptor starts slightly

644.64 -> under 57 thousand dollars they seem expensive but don't forget that the Bronco Raptor costs

650.58 -> almost 88 thousand dollars a huge gap indeed what do you think about the new Ford Ranger Raptor can

657.78 -> it outshine the competition or maybe even make the F-150 Raptor obsolete does it make sense to

664.56 -> pay 29k extra for the Bronco Raptor let us know in the comments and of course don't forget to

670.86 -> subscribe because more videos like this are coming thanks for watching and see you next time [Music]
