My wife smiles every time she gets behind the wheel of hers. She absolutely loves it!!!

Pity that most of their range is shit nowadays. Beaten by several companies. (I used to love Ford)

@@gavinwyllie7855 me too but they'll never see any of my money again.

Their pickups are pretty reliable. Though I wont touch their cars or suv's

That is very kind and gracious of you to write those words. Thank you very much!

​@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 You're welcome

Huge thanks!

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 oh ask Superdry for sponsorship, they got a sale for the jacket you wore so stylishly, as someone I shared the episode with, loved the jacket and an order was placed. 😁

Thank you!!!

Oh yes, sorry about how I 'made' you do that! 😜 So pleased you have had at least 2 fab machines!

What excellent car taste you have! And I trust your daughters love the Raptor as much as the Scooby!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for taking the time to write this, John! So glad you are a ute fan, too!

We would consider the Ranger to be a mid-size here in North America. Full-size Pickup would be an F-150 and Large Pickup is anything that is CAFE exempt (over 8,500 lbs GVW or F-250 thru F-450). I will say that the Ranger looks pretty large on UK roads.

@@rich7447 an F150 makes sense on big US highways Rich - two things I’ve noticed from decades of watching US movies is the ‘whaling’ road dynamics of your old Ford Broncos which almost roll over on corners and bends during car pursuits and your ‘yellow’ school buses still look like something from the 40’s - is the US poor? because these old buses don’t look safe for school children? Why not something more progressive and modern with safety features?

@@johnnumbat9782 Anyone who would use an old Ford Bronco for a pursuit (other than OJ) needs their head examining. They aren't built for high speed corners. There are very few injuries or fatalities in school buses each year. For the most part buses in general are just a big tube with an engine. What do you suggest for a modern alternative? I don't believe that transit buses are any safer and they are twice to several times the price of a school bus.

@@rich7447 yes Rich I guess they’re only stunt drivers in the Broncos - good to know fatalities are low - here in Australia the children use the metro bus services or medium transit passenger buses in regional areas -

i wanted to love it too but its auto only. deal breaker right there. and no real need for it as ford had higher powered cars with manuals in the past

Love that!

Are u remap ur raptor? Is it void warranty?

Thanks!! I'm working on the launch issue...!

Welcome! And thank you so much. They need to make a T-Rex next....!

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 Agreed! Love for you to compare them. Ford Ranger vs Ram Dakota, Raptor and T - Rex. Please test and compare both 2022 Tundra and 4Runner. Interested to hear your opinions on them. Cheers Ms. Vicki

Great choice - grey, nice! Yes I plan to do older stuff too, as soon as time allows. Thank you for your support.

I really appreciate how you take the time to reply to all our messages. You are the best Vicki

I'll take a pair as well!

New more powerful raptor is coming:)

@@DragonXDrei since I wrote this I’ve started to care more about the frugality with current diesel prices. And whilst the 3.0L turbo diesel is nice I’m staring to think EV is where it’s at for the future (and present) of pickups. Thankfully my current Isuzu D-Max is super frugal (and super slow, but that’s less of a problem in 2022).

The 8,500 lb F-450 Crew Cab makes it to 60 in 8 seconds. A little more than a 2L diesel in that though. Don't let diesel prices get you down. One of mine has a 200 gallon tank and gets 8 mpg. The cost of diesel is offset by not having to get hotel rooms while on the road.

Yeah!

nope its 3.2 LITRESnot 3.2 CC. if it were 3.2 cc the engine would fit in the palm of your hand!

The Ranger tops out at 4,440 lbs/2,014 kg empty. The Ranger Raptor is heavier at 5,238 lbs/2,375 kg empty. So the Ranger would fall under dual purpose vehicle and the Raptor would theoretically not. This kind of shows how crazy government regulations are since neither the Ranger nor the Raptor are very big (both are mid-size pickup trucks).

😊

It might just work! But best speak to the Ford peeps who will know how to guide you best. Good luck!

and 99% of limited spec ones are any different?

Glad you love a pick-up, too! 👌

Same as most 4x4 on the road it's all about looking the part these days , the best one are with 24 inch wheels and road tyres lol wtf

not much fun without a manual gearbox though

Hello fellow jumpers...🚜!

Thank you for the info!!

if it went in itll come out!

Manual labour would do the trick...!

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 Don't you swear at me, young lady!!! 🤣

@Jason I’ve never met your dad but I believe he is a really nice bloke 😉

Thank you! And I am very pleased you liked my Dad, too!

Top stuff!!!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. All the very best!

Thanks so much for giving me an insight into your LA travel. Enjoy the US Ranger! Lucky boy 👌

Fuel is much more expensive in the UK v USA. That’s why diesel vehicles are very popular in the UK, particularly for a larger / heavier SUV or Ute like the Raptor. Much better economy with diesel motor in this type of vehicle.

imagine a 15mpg car vs a 30mpg car when fuel is roughly $8 per gallon. thats why we dont have the 2.3 ecoboost petrol or a v6 petrol and end up with the 2.0 diesel here

@@StephenFogarty2023 Diesels are popular in the US too, but they are very difficult to get through EPA regulations on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than 8,501 lbs. This equates to an F-250, Ram/Chevy/GMC 2500 or higher and they all have displacements in the 6.6 to 6.7L range. My Ram 2500 diesel went to the dealer in September and will be replaced with a F450 diesel. The diesels are the only way that you get 14 mpg highway when towing 26,000 lbs.

Crop circles... 😜

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 You should have sowed some doughnuts! 😉

Totally understand that. Thanks for watching my film!

Ford can't supply enough of the models that they do offer in the US. It's going to be over a year by the time I get my Super Duty order.

My father is a farmer and he was not so keen!! He knows me too well!

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 I agree! No father would be keen to let his little girl do that.

Chill out simp.

@@gavinwyllie7855 What is your problem?

You are too kind! 😜

@@thecargirlvickibutler-hend2834 you remind me of a young lady I used to go out with and she could drive anything,and she used to laugh the faster she went lol but on my Yamaha R1 (no she didn't get to ride it ) she definitely didn't have a fear of speed I could hear her giggling like you do . great video by the way 👌👌

not heard of a manual gearbox fail and seen plenty of engines with over 200k miles in teh UK which are far harder miles than American miles, and reliability has a different meaning in the UK than the USA also

Thanks for your feedback Jan.

I worked at the dealer for over ten years and the only issues that really caused problems were the new 2.0 bi turbo failing all the time and the 1.0 eco boost

Thanks for your humour and kind words!

It's for the UK,not the full on US version. We don't buy v8 pickups generally.

Love that!!! 😂

@@gavinwyllie7855 The F150 Raptor in the UK is a 3.5L V6. We don't get the Ranger Raptor at all. That being said, the standard output F-450 Crew Cab which weighs 8,500 lbs empty can make it to 60 mph in 8 seconds.

You are clearly a connoisseur! Great!

except the UK doesnt get 'GAS motors' we get DIESEL ENGINES!

@@petelattimer6808 You get your choice of either 3L gas/petrol or 2L diesel in the new model.

Respect!

You are risking the wrath of the GM guys. Colt had a 3/4 ton Chevy. LOL

the 2.0 has more real world grunt than the old 3.2 im afraid!

V8...

Yes! It's not a Rolls Royce Phantom, but it's a cushioning bear hug of a ride 😜
