Get what ya pay for & Ranger is best in class. Period.

If you look at all the numbers and capabilities, a used F150 is still better and cheaper.

@@RW-zh7klThe only thing where the raptor stands out is where it’s build for and that’s towing, and then also in the price difference offcourse. The rest is neck on neck, the ranger raptor even has an advantage in handling because off the weight difference, on and offroad.

@@RW-zh7kl USED and abused Not New and fresh

We have it already lol. They go to war over most expensive truck top stop 😂

Greetings my muslim brother from Colorado.. How much did you pay? allah yubarik

AllAhhhh snakbar

Mine is being delivered in 2 days. I cannot wait. I'm from Australia 😊

@@rebelrob9637Allah Akbar my Muslim australian brother

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Agreed

You know there is a mile long list of activities that void the various warranties, so asking a lying Ford employee about their trucks is like asking a chicken for the best chicken recipe

Find a better dealership then

A bargain?? Yeah ok. At the end of the day if you can get one it’ll be like 65 grand.

57.5 grand after the starting point of Toyotas 65 Grand TRD Pro it does seem like a steal

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

lol😎

Don't worry...his brother has the ultimate set of tools. 🏄🏽‍♂️

Jeff spicole fast times!!

Thank you for watching!

Happy Friday 🤙🏽 even though every day is Monday for a couple months before the weekend 😅

Thank you as always!

Ford has a strict drug testing policy even for the people doing construction on its property lol

@B He must have cheated that test LOL. That dude with Andre made my morning the other day.

'kay. But then they're also marking up the f-150 raptors. And bronco raptors. And used trx's. Almost a moot point. At this point either expect to overpay on any low production vehicle or find a dealership that isn't doing any markup

@@markcoopers1930 Or just do like me and wait until they have been out for a year or two and then pick it up CPO or private party sale for a discount. F*** Stealerships and their price gouging markups.

Both because of the partnership with VW. VW demanded to be able to fit a pallet in the bed. Likely also wanted rear vents to be a unique "premium" feature on the Amarok.

Try getting one they Are not keeping up with demand

Good luck. The Maverick roll out has been almost as terrible as the Bronco.

I love both my Hybrid and my Tremor XLT Mavericks. I thought I would trade up to a new Ranger but got priced out

​@Shifty McGee you had to order and be extremely patient

@@the305hauler I waited a year and a half for my Bronco before I gave up. Mark ups will keep me away until they’re heavily discounted years from now.

They will easily be 65-70K as soon as they hit the dealership. Mark my words!

For real. With small kids and many days over 100°F where I am that's unforgivable.

Florida>>> Need it- even if no one back there-- cools truck quicker-- ESPECIALLY BLACK😳

It doesn't blow strong in the back but it's there and helps.

Or the GM Twins

Wow the hated Honda Ridgeline been doing that for some years. With its lay-flat bed.

@@fredmoss4540 we dont talk about that “truck” lol

@Raul Gallardo Why not talk about? The auto press/media said many years ago that Ridgeline would be influential. Others would be copying off it. The Dual Action Tailgate of 1st Gen Ridgeline. That brought about pickup truck tailgate wars. The Ridgeline used old station wagon tailgate swing drop. Ram with it's Barn Door style. Others with adjustable and tricks in them. 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. This is in the midsized truck segment with plywood. The speakers in the truck bed walls of Ridgeline RTL-E and Black Edition trims. Toyota or somebody. got a removal Bluetooth speaker. Kicked was doing something for another pickup truck.

@Raul Gallardo Motor Trend, Car and Driver others always talk about. TFL just said it didn't get enough Love. Like I said Ranger can now fit 4×8 sheets of plywood in it's bed flat. It's wonderful buyers say. Ridgeline had a TV commercial doing that some years ago. Lay-flat bed. Al's showing how 5 average size passengers can actually fit into Ridgeline cabin.

AND NO PASSEBGER VENT!!! What gives Ford??

well i can answer one question .. It is not a Dana 50 . in the rear .

Real questions that the (still) hack interviewer didn't even think to ask.

Nah I think he’s just stoned 😂

Just a car nerd. Love it

Without looking at him sounds like a Surfer Dude…

Likely so. Raptor shocks typically have a 50k mile rebuild interval.

And left out 😂

Does GMC truck do it for you? If one of those don’t then midsize aint for you

@@mattbrew11 Tell me why GMC does it for you.

@@freedomisntfree_44 Some have more cents to work with than good sense to work with.

@@fredsausage8794 which truck does get you excited?

Because Trucks are now unfortunately made for suburban office men who want to look rugged and tough but have never picked up a hammer in their life.

Gonna have to get a 180 month loan like a house

Less people moving forward will be able to afford new cars. Wait until the EV mandates are here 10 years from now...

​@@phattorangecatto really? I worked a blue collar in the field job for a few years but now am an account Executive. No reason to try and put down people. BTW, your theory is totally wrong. I know LOT'S of people that work more blue collar jobs and have Raptors and other such trucks. Pricing is a function of the entire vehicle industry. 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. 🙂

Always a guy who makes a lot of money to justify trucks costing so much lol

I TOTALY agree. Or find a way to put a 5.3 into it lol. Those engines are honestly not the big

GM offering 315 HP & 430 on torque is awesome .... I think Ford 2.7 is 400 on torque

I truly appreciate your kind words!

Probably not. There is no f150 platinum raptor. The raptor has basically all the features the platinum has with the highest package. Even lariats are not far off . As far as I removed it’s just massage seats, and you don’t get the douche bag silver tail gate. The lariat high package is best imo. Those platinum tailgates make your employees resent you Z

Suspension and powertrain goes to the Raptor. The ZR2 styling and interior are far superior.

As we say, "more money than brains."

I'd be shocked if they don't offer a sunroof

I think lack of rear air is part of the negotiations with VW. Let's the Amarok offer a unique "premium" feature.

For the price to become a sales leader in the premium pickup truck market this vehicle has more than a few minor issues (can't integrate the exhaust into the bumper? Deal killer for just that alone) that add up to again at this price point anyways a *"not sold"* still for me. Winner: Ford F150 and Ford Maverick still. Still huge fan if twin turbos and looking forward to see how those work out in the real World of daily driving. North America sales of Anything Volkswagen makes me question if the Brand will even survive given their wholehearted embrace of pure BEV and having to compete against Tesla which still wholly and totally owns that market, 2023. Great news for buyers (finally) as crazy price offerings for otherwise not very practical vehicles seem to be finally dissipating. "Driving up the value train" I think is the technical term as Hyundai-Kia has been doing going on forever now.

Who says this is supposed to be a family vehicle? This is a desert runner, the passenger seats are a courtesy and not meant to be a luxury ride or a road trip. Just like a sports coupe or a Wrangler, using this to run errands with is prioritizing the truck over what is right for the errand. Otherwise get a sedan.

@@markcoopers1930 It’s the same as the regular Ranger. Which absolutely is supposed to be a family vehicle.

Ive had one for 6 months and i tend to enjoy the sound in baja mode a little too much so i sit around 16.5-17 l/100km (14.25mpg) with more relaxed driving 14-15 l/100km (16.8mpg) and to be extremely clear 90% of my driving is in the city on highways it has gone down to 12 l/100km (20mpg)

@mohammedbinmahfooz5791 thank you for your detailed reply regarding your fuel economy. For a 400 hp engine your averages seem very acceptable. I guess if someone is looking for 20+ mpg don't be looking at a raptor. Cheers. Good luck with the new truck.

Fuel is measured in feet per gallon if you're driving this correctly. Otherwise the standard raptor engines are a good fit

Window Stick says 16 city 18 highway 17 mix----

Yikes that is horrible. Come on ford u can do better

😂😂

Tremor will be introduced year 2 or 3.
