Ford Ranger Raptor

[Avdb]

Apparently the Raptor will come to the UK in 2019.

Any thoughts/comments?

The 10 gear auto is in my Mustang and I am happy with it - should work well in the Raptor too

So around £50k including VAT and the higher VED rate

£10k more than the Ranger Wildtrak

If all UK Ranger models get the 2.0 Diesel engine it will be hard to justify 10k more for the Raptor than the Wildtrak.

I would like the 2.3 Ecoboost petrol option that they have in the US for the Ranger.

Thanks for the link David. Congratulation on your order.

I want to see one before ordering.

I will be in Australia in July and will have a look at a Raptor there if they are not in the UK by then.

Had a look yesterday at the Hilux AT 35 Artic truck with light bar which looks good too.

You can see the 2 bars in the first picture of the pdf link.
Is the lockable cover in that picture included as standard?

I wonder what is the Raptor Decal pack for £900.

Without this are there no Raptor signs on the side and rear?

[Avdb]

Thanks. Looks great. Are you getting the decals?

[Avdb]

Does anyone know the weight of the Raptor?

If over 2040kg it might have the same speed restrictions as vans (and the Wildtrak).

Thanks

[Avdb]

Raptor will be classed as an N1 Commercial Vehicle​

[Avdb]

^also contacted two Ford dealers and neither called back.

Which internet company did you use for your Wildtrak?

Thanks

Thanks for the link and pointing out the headlight change. I plan to order this autumn and might leave it a bit longer now to get the LED ones. Bet you can't wait.
