2018 Ford Ranger Raptor Video Review – Quick Drive
The weather worked against us when we decided to shoot our video of the new Ford Ranger Raptor…we’ll borrow it again, though, and produce a longer yarn. Until then…

The Ford Ranger Raptor is based on the Ranger PXII with some Ford F-150 Raptor and Everest thrown-in for good measure. The aim was to produce a vehicle capable of high-speed performance off the beaten track and so load-hauling was compromised as a result.
Watch our quick spin video as the weather causes us to do what most people won’t do with it…drive slowly off-road. We’ll have the Ranger Raptor again and produce a longer, more comprehensive test on it then. Until then, though, enjoy.
