Ford Aus really need a Raptor version of the Ranger.
Wide Body, Slight Lift, Bigger Wheels, and the same Twin Turbo Engine

I garauntee it's on someone's desk at ford somewhere around the world. With the best 4wd around the world since it's release and fords blatantly obvious rampage on new hardcore models, I'd bet the idea has popped up more then a few times. Whether it makes it down the pipeline is a diff story tho....(they'd have to do some sort of wild track rebranding)

Love the idea too by the way

Seriously? How do you get through the day with an outlook like that? The international press is heaping praise on Ford for its performance across a range of vehicles and you only see negatives

I love my FG XR6 but as far as technology, style, and performance go I know these vehicles are in a different league. And its not just about 0-100 times. Its getting 600hp out of a 3.5 litre V6, it's the 1.0 Ecoboost winning egine of the year twice, its voice recognition, active cruise control, park assist in a standard car, etc etc etc

I've never been as proud to own a Ford as I am now. Seriously, i dont think there is a bad car in the entire range.

The cup is half full!
