First Ranger Raptor Review

[rtmozingo]

There have been some sightings of left hand drive models testing. It would be fun truck if they put the 2.7 EB in there for the US. Doubtful it happens but would definitely have my interest.

The only reason the engine is so anemic overseas is to avoid a $10k-$50k emissions tax in Thailand, where the Ranger sells like hotcakes. No reason to expect such a weak engine over here

I know but something tells me if it comes here it would have a variation of the 2.3 4cyl. Or maybe this is where the new 7.3 V8 is going lol

Betting it will price out to be competitive with the Tacoma TRD-Pro which is right at $44k. If they slide in the 2.7L Eco it could be a monster.

steering wheel is on the wrong side. deal-breaker for me

maybe its a mirror camera. LOL

Just saw this article. In the off chance it comes to the states it will have the diesel. It's on the internet so you know it's true

Kind of ironic isn't it... Reading posts from guys that bought a V6 powered full size truck that wouldn't consider a 4cyl in a smaller truck.

The Ranger is coming back, that is already well known. Not offering a Raptor version would be a mistake. I will be all over one when it shows up. I have no need for all the wasted space inside an F150.

Rumor is the V6 may not fit as the truck as is was designed for small inline fours. I would do a 2.3 ecoboost in a heartbeat if offered in a Ranger Raptor platform.

One thing you can count on, when the baby rap shows up, it will have HP, and will not take second place to any competition. Ford is in front on these trucks and wouldn't throw out a second place off Rd truck.

I’d drive the f#$k out of any of the options. I’m a buyer if it comes with the 2.7
