Originally wanted one of these. Was told how long I'd have to wait and went with the Ranger Tremor.

Maybe in a year or 2.

I think I'm going to order one and just be pleasantly surprised when it shows up in 2 years. I really like the BRaptor drivetrain and this has the same thing. I love the BRaptor, but a truck makes more sense for my use.

We’ve been cranking out a dozen or so ranger raptors @ MAP already.
Haven’t seen window stickers for pricing yet so maybe PP still.

 

[TORQUERULES]

I know I may be biased, but the current Ranger looks better. Hate the front end of the 6-gen. The Raptor should be bad ass if they don't de-tune the US version like they have in other markets.

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

When does the Maverick Raptor come out?

Not bad looking at all.

Have any pics?

US specs released yet?

Supposedly pretty much the same as the global version.

Supposedly pretty much the same as the global version.

So 390ish hp, etc. Sucks they are detuning it compared to the BRaptor. The lighter Ranger would haul all kinds of ass with the same horsepower as the Braptor. I am sure it still will, but that kinda blows. Hopefully it is just tuning and no hard-part differences to make that rating. The Euro Raptor Ranger is so detuned it is under 300hp from what I understand.

I wonder if the factory tour includes a love you long time escort (apples and bananas excluded)

While I'm glad to see this...the Thailand regular cab, long bed, 4wd, 2.0T diesel, 6 speed manual truck really grabs my interest! Its nuts that Ford can offer this thing in Thailand for less than $20K USD....

Wow, very nice.
I'm not a big Ranger guy, but I do like the looks of that truck,

I’d expect it to be nearly identical to BRaptor.

That would be a good around-town rig for me.

 

[floodstang]

I’ll take one in blue!

 

[DaBigBone]

I like the looks. Definitely on my list of things to look at to replace my Tacoma in the next year or two.

That should scoot. It will of course be heavier than say and FX4 Ranger like mine, but lighter than the BRaptor.
