Hell yeah guys! Thanks for all the love! Intro editing 10/10!!

I live in Michigan, and I drive an F-150 4X4, and one item that I have on it is a brush guard that protects the front end in the event of a deer collision. You might want to look at a brush guard for your Ranger, and when it's installed, it won't interfere with opening the hood, and depending on the design, you can install lights on the guard for helping with night driving but check the regulations in New Zealand concerning the guard lights.

VEL0C1 is for Velociraptor the dinosaur famous from Jurassic Park. Raptor also are a type of bird. Enjoy the change in contact keeps it interesting with the occasional outlier. The editing in the beginning was amazing super professional and great blending of cuts and transitions.

As a new member of your New Zealand family, i just wanna say, i love your content. As an American car guy (not just American cars), i just wanna say, i couldn't have been happier to find this video. Well made and well done. Keep em comin. Im impressed. Yall are pretty good at this KZfaq thing. I appreciate your family vids, your reaction vids, your podcast, and this one as well. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you all are. Much love from South Carolina, USA!

Like it, want to see the progress in the future. I think it would be nice to see the others in the family doin similar things that involve their interests as well.

My gosh the intro was flawless 👌🏽 I’m so happy for you my brotha’ keep up the great videos and much love to the whole fambam 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Keep it coming!

Love the blackout job it looks great. 👍👍🦶🦶

Oooh, nice!!! Looks fun!!! Btw, you did a masterful job with the filming and editing. I’d like to watch more raptor modification videos.

Nice truck , Veloci- raptor. I liked your vid mate. been a while since i was in taupo. Was good seeing the old home ground.

If you havent added one already i would add auxiliary cooler for the transmission. Your truck will last much longer and probably never overheat during its lifetime no matter how hot it is outside or how long you drive it. I put a transmission cooler in my ford and drove it for over 500,000 miles before the frame of the cr gave up. an oil reserve tank with a heater and a chiller can also add years to your truck. also an aux coolant tank will make it certain you will never run the dry either. The better you cool your engine and transmission the longer they will keep the truck running. These are all cheap and easy changes and worth every penny.

What a sexy sound! My dad always had 13 Ford Mustangs...1 show room condition, 2 for daily driving, and 10 for parts for building to sell. You should here his1968 Mustang...almost sounds like your Ranger Raptor. Love Raptors!

Beautiful!!! 🎉

Beautiful Truck ❤

Yo im excited for the car content this is insane

Love the intro, now you have also involved the car culture. Everyone is going, What’s next?

I have Kia stinger 3.3 twin turbo gt2 black with red interior and have done intake, exhaust, hks plugs, tune, and run an e85/93 octane blend for an e30 mix and it moves. its also an AWD btw. Another cheap mod that gives some insurance is An oil cath can. I have one aswell. Love is coming from Dayton, Ohio.

this was fire

Nice Ford! 👍🤘

The guys from Fab Fabrications are awesome, grab yourself the matt black 4" tips man, finishes off the rear end nicely. Gives it a bit more of a nicer note too.

SICK👍👍

CONGRATS!!!

Plate is obvious “Velociraptor”.. Beautiful Truck and sounds great and I love the upgrade

I love how it sounds after the install. I can only imagine how it will sound with a free flow exhaust.

Love the channel! I really enjoy this video. Perhaps you could combine automotive content with sports and put it on your Kiwi Kicker?

good looking truck. Yall remember the ford lightning? I used to have one of those lol

Awesome video guys. Keep up the good work. I feel like this guy really wants to live in Texas hahahaha.

Awesome rig! What size and type of wheel and tyres have you got on her? Keen to put them on mine 👍

I’m glad you made it. You and your family are the BEST.🌈🙏👍🍎🍷🌅❤️😍🏎️

Now I want one! 😃

Congratulations

pros and cons of the airbox upgrade ?

1:37 that was clean😫

Hi there just wondering what other air boxes you looked at and why you chose this one over any other thanks

another one of the MANY W'S on this channel

Really like you truc

MORE RAPTOR CONTENT PLEASE!

Jeez, the Ford Ranger has come a long way. Not a small little commuter truck anymore for sure.

Oh my gosh Sam! It doesn’t seem it’s been two years already! Time flys when you have the NZ family channel to watch!!

Y’all absolutely should check out the Raptor race with a Skydiver

You should try to do a “race experience” at a race track in America. At a lot of NASCAR tracks they have the Richard Petty Experience where you can suit up and ride along. We got up to 180 mph at Daytona International Speedway.

You should drive a f150 lightning while in the states. They are rocket ships. Beautiful truck and love the murder out look as we call it in the states. the all black looks great and it's the way i ordered my lightning.

Sam, should add a red pinstripe to the wheels, not a bright red maybe blood red or a black cherry red

Okay the editing of this video is on par *insert Jurassic Park theme* since it is a video ahout a raptor

Fellow Honda owner here. Have an 08 Civic Si, which has a 2.0 K20 engine that revs to 8000rpm. Put some airflow mods and lots of suspension upgrades, as well as other tiny upgrades here and there to make it better to drive. It’s a monster in corners and gets good gas mileage while still having some pep. Jealous of the Euro R, never seen one yet here in the states.

Whipple Supercharger. Go fast.

I think Lake Victoria in Africa is the largest in the southern hemisphere, but Taupo is for sure the largest in Oceania.

Awesome truck! What brand/size of wheels and tires did you install?

Veloci raptor well played.

Nice. My kind of truck ❤

ABCamping definitely has to get one!!!! RIP Bruce and Bruno!

👍👍👍👍👍 can’t wait to see more upgrades.

Nice

Sweet never seen one here yet in the states

Even if it's not technically necessary, you should get a tune for any mods you have to get the most out of them and increase reliability

Nice truck! ❤

Nice ride, that thing is sweet.

My "Lotto Winner" ride is a Hennesey Bronco Velociraptor.

Velociraptor

As a gear head,I love this content.

I like the bridge design in your part of NZ.

Y'all are truly Blessed!

That would be known as the Honda Accord in the states. It’s a pretty standard sedan with a decent engine. It’s more an everyday car but it’s very customizable and I’ve seen some crazy modifications to them. Honda is a good brand as these cars don’t really break down as bad. Toyota as well. As long as people keep up with oil changes and replace belts, fluids, filters, and such they run practically forever. The only reason I got rid of my smaller Toyota suv was because someone put a tiny screw in the gas and it destroyed every cylinder. I replaced it with a standard Toyota sedan which works great.

The 2024 I believe is the first year you can finally get the Ranger Raptor in the USA now.

I want a right-hand drive vehicle! :D

Loved this video,something a little different

Cool brother ! Love the truck ! Greetings from Myrtle Beach SC

4th Generation Ford Truck man myself. I live my full sized Raptor. Great looking truck! Thanks for the video!

❤ it

Look at Sam with the car videos! Very Nice👌🏻

Love the truck man. 🇺🇸🇳🇿

Love my Ford

Nice ride. Well done.

man take that thang back.. they put the steering wheel on the wrong side! 😉 nice ride tho! 😆

Once upon a time--the time when I spent 4 months in New Zealand--you never saw American cars there because apparently the import duty was HUGE. Most of the cars on the road were English and most were fairly old but excellently maintained (other Americans of my acquaintance took the opportunity to pick up a classic Jaguar).

Im glad that ford came back with the ranger and the bronco

Like a dinosaur listen to it roar

I love the truck

I have a friend who is looking to put a Coyote engine in his Ranger. He doesn't have the Raptor because he cannot justify paying $92,000 for a Ranger Raptor. He is putting a Coyote engine in with a 3 liter Whipple supercharger in his Ranger and is expecting to have get 1,000 horsepower.

Cool little truck

Over there is the Raptor based on the Ranger chassis? Here in Texas and in the US, it is based on the F150 chassis which is larger than the Ranger

Looking good Sam!

Go for it

Beautiful truck congrats

Not fond of trucks since i like sports cars etc etc, but this is sick looking truck 😎

I like the family stuff, but this is cool too.

3lier v-6? I remember my first Ford ranger..it’s a cute truck!

The next thing that's needed is a lift kit, so high that you need a ladder to get into it. Perhaps, you could have hydraulics installed too.

When you get your exhaust, which maybe you already have by now... you should take it to a shop to get a new tune. They're professionals at extracting horsepower and torque. Technically your truck's computer will figure out you have more airflow in and out and adjust on it's own, but a tuner can make it perfection.

Brand new Ford, same old speed limit.

Do they sell the full size Raptor truck in NZ? Velociraptor is what it means.

nice ride enjoy

Some Detroit Shall Rise Again stuff here Folks. 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 Original American Michigan Made Steel and Automotive Prowless is Not Dead .❤

Hey, the steering wheel is on the wrong side. 😂

You guys should react to the Kentucky state Choir national anthem

License plate gotta be an abbreviated of Velociraptor

Enjoy! How much of the exhaust are you doing?

Beautiful truck. I had a 2016 F350 with a diesel. Not sure if you guys over there in New Zealand know what that is

The best upgrade any Raptor owner can do is trade it in for a TRX 😉. Just kidding, that's a beautiful Ranger Raptor

My dad always told me Always buy Ford... best truck &cars there are
