2018 Ranger Raptor

Had a look at one yesterday and geezuz what a bit of gear. The suspension is just massive, the photos of what FORD have done to this truck in the suspension department don’t do it justice. Very impressed and is without peer. Rims and tyres look great, the 33s are just huge for a stock unit. Front buckets are very supportive. The side steps are huge given the pumped out guards - I’m 6 foot and my calf hits the step when exiting the vehicle. The step surface is extremely grippy, like a sandpaper finish.
I remember when Mercedes ran their G class units down the CSR as a big PR exercise 2/3 yrs ago, they were so confident of their toughness that they didn’t even take spare shocks - ended up being a mistake.
Looking at the sheer size of the RR’s suspension it’s obvious it would eat a G class on the CSR.....and full respect to a G class too.

Again the engine for me is perfect, not interested in anything bigger. A 210hp diesel through a ten speed is more than enough for me powering an insane off-road platform.

Kudos to FORD - what an off-road weapon.
