    The Ford Ranger Raptor Is A Thing

      Someone's dream has come true

    For some, the announcement made by Ford's Asia Pacific is a dream come true. In a teaser video, a prototype Ranger is seen being put through its paces while undergoing testing in the Australian Outback. Towards the end of the video, the name Ranger Raptor is revealed and will be arriving in Asia Pacific markets next year.

    There isn't much to go on in terms of concrete details. It appears the Ranger Raptor will only come in the Double Cab configuration and feature a new grille - possibly the same one as seen on the F-150 Raptor. We're expecting some of the ideas from the F-150 Raptor's suspension will be applied for the smaller Ranger.

    Of course, some are asking the question whether or not the Ranger Raptor will come to the U.S. We know that Ford is readying a new Ranger that will debut sometime in the 2019 model year. If Ford was planning on sending Raptor version here, we would expect it to launch a year or two after.

    • INTERIOR PHOTOS View of the front of the cabin from the driver's door ... this gives a clearer view of how the 2 main screens are placed on the dashboard View of the front of the cabin from the passenger's door This is the main instrument pod and, around the speed readout, the distribution of important data is clear (which seems to be how many pods are now organized, which is appreciated because setting up Bluetooth and all the controls takes a slight amount of time).  There are also green indicators for "ready" and "EV" mode At times, I did not care for the race car type vantage point from where seated and it took adjustment of the seat and the tilt steering wheel to get it closer to one's comfort level The console is clean and simple in its layout It's a tug to the left and forward for reverse ... and a tug to the left and rearward for drive This is the rear seating area of the passenger cabin I do like the roofline and the gullwing feature in the rear door ... this shows what over the shoulder visibility looks like The rear storage area is respectable and, with the roofline, it seems a little more vertical, so it was advantageous to put luggage on its sides Thankfully, there is this cover over the rear and its texture and attachment is similar to other cars ... and, in Toyota, it was similar to the one in their economy car Aygo that they sell in Europe
    • EXTERIOR PHOTOS Side view ... and some palm trees Angled front view Angled rear view ... note the interesting taillamp arrangement Low-slung, sports car appearance, yet its a practical small HEV sedan that's come a long way
    • This is not good for them and continues to show how terribly run Tesla is. Oil and gas supplier says Tesla is ‘refusing to pay’ $2 million in past-due bills – and that chaotic staffing has only made it worse
    • Very interesting, but shows how good BYD packages their EV components compared to American, Japan, Europe and Korea. BYD's Five-Minute Fast-Charging EV Also Has An Enormous Frunk I will say that My EV9 frunk is big in comparison to GM, all of Japan and Europe EVs, but small in comparison to the packaging by Chinese auto companies and BYD clearly took the frunk approach to our U.S. EV Trucks and applied it to their cars and SUVs. HUGE BYD SUV Frunk BYD Car Frunk, Tesla has nothing on this, except to say Tesla is very tiny in comparison.
