2023 Ford Ranger Raptor (292PS): Endlich mit V6! - Review, Fahrbericht, Test

Friends, today I love my job again. May I introduce you to the new Ranger Wetter. Yes, Germany is not a country of trucks but of combis, but there are still many trucks that we can warm up here and now Ford has repositioned the Ranger. The rapper is starting now because it is built in Thailand and not in South Africa like the rest of the Rangers, that's why they come a little later, but of course we can tell you all about the new Ranger but of course now about the Ranger. Rap Yes, of course we will show it to normal people and their Diesel friends, there is also important information about the Ranger and we always show it today and of course we not only can, but we will also explain everything to you. show you what the Ranger has to show, yes of course it now shares technology with the VW Amarok, yes, we have already shown you the Ford Connect Tourneo, which basically merges with the Caddy, now the same thing has happened with the Range, but in conclusion I would tell you why I would choose the Ranger and why I even like it in terms of price and performance.

I still think it's fair for the money, so it's still exciting, stay tuned if you want to go for the new Ranger. here in the Black Forest and I warmly welcome you to a new episode from here in the Black Forest with the new Ranger. We are not only happy, but of course we are growing and we can present you more and more stylish vehicles and that Of course, it's a great thing or when the bell rings, you will be notified as soon as we upload a new video like the one on the new Ranger, which currently costs 40,000 and 210 € starts as a Ranger and as a Ranger Rap stood at 79,000 432 euros but of course don't let the price scare you at first, of course everything that the Ranger offers is included, there is only two or three options with colors that do not exist at all.

You have to accept it, but of course. I'll explain it to you, then of course there is still the Ranger as a single cab, extra cab and double cab, the Ranger Raptor, which of course, as always, is only available as a double cab, yes, and if you now increase the price base increases again by 40,000 Of course, taking ten euros doesn't hurt with the Rapper, but on top of that with the Ranger XL, the XLT Limited and then the Wildtrak, which of course is also a great car and there are also elegant models. engines and of course there's the Raptor on top and that's what we're talking about today guys, cool color, but there's a lot more cool colors too, everything will show you piece by piece what the hood is under, there's a really cool engine.

We'll talk about that later, of course, we have the typical Ford Ranger Raptor radiator grill, yes, we also have the one from the F150. I know it always says big here and goes all the way to the headlights with a really cool design. I think it looks very rugged from the front anyway, so if you just want to stick with the brand and drive on the road with a medium or something, then you've got it. I really feel like there's a tiger coming from behind that just wants to eat you. I think it's a really cool design.

Of course, we still have the front camera here and then we have a dash protector here and there's actually also a dash protector made of steel under here. Look later so everything is a. a little bit sheltered but it really goes into the terrain and the terrain can, then of course we have big anthracite features here that then continue all the way to the town hall, that looks really cool, it just looks rolling and that's how it should be. It also looks like fog. The lights and then the big new headlights are also a really cool element, I think so.

I really like this scene which of course is the daytime running lights, here are the indicators and of course that's the main headlight with high beam which is all LED. in the series it's halogen, up top it's LED and of course we now have the adaptive matrix as standard on the Raptor. I see the headlight basically burning out road users ahead and oncoming traffic. You can talk to yourself a little about it. the design, you will always be happy to write it below. Personally I think it's really cool, I think it's the most beautiful Ranger ever, but we can also write below if you liked the previous model better. that side of the Ranger Raptor and don't worry, I'm not just going to talk about colors, but we're also going to give you all the technical details here on the side, so of course, start with the equipment details when you're here on the edge.

Start with the full Ranger from 17 to 20 inches and with the Range of course there is only this rim, it also makes sense that a 17 inch rim and that's just this combination should look a little sporty because the sporty design and the anthracite but formally suitable for off-road with these all-terrain tires, yes, and that's why 17 inches fit, but you also think the rapper is cool, then of course you have these anthracite rims on the wheel arches, which is cool and, of course, it is also seen. wider We also have this anthracite basic performance rap. So that's a really cool part, so a really big set also helps when driving where the cameras are underneath and here we also have blacked out windows as you can see. rap in the back standing there, yeah, and there's one of the first options.

Can you add the Raptor decal to it? So there was a sample there, but as you are used to on our channel, of course, now you can see one. detail then you could order a hardtop with window for 2000 and then you still have it for €2200 without window, I can't tell you why it is more expensive without window, but you can also order it in the brochure as an accessory, so I don't have to show you no picture, actually you can imagine that there are Rangers colors, now we have Sedona orange, which is also a great color, especially in live, it gets even better as a configurator and costs €821.

Like all the colors except Arctic which is the free color in white, I would not recommend it because it does not fit in some way, but if you want that you will save money, otherwise you will only have to put 821 euros on the table if you want a different color. There is also a second orange that is much brighter, that is code orange and of course I would not use Rohrschnee but rather Blue Lightning which is the blue that suits the Ranger. probably the most popular on the site because every time you enter it's on the screen that shows up in blue but of course that's just pure fun so you can take whatever you want.

Now it's technical data and I just have to read a little, I don't remember. everything except so that you can get all the information, I don't want to hide it from you. Where do we start? Where do we start? I would say with the sword differential, which we didn't even start. We can lock not only the front axle but also the rear axle 100%. Importantly we still have what we showed you with the predecessor Webtor Ranger, we have the Fox shocks again and that's really cool, the Fox shocks are now available. There are ones with a diameter of 2.5 inches and they are the largest ever installed in a Ford Ranger and they are also coated on the inside with Teflon and oil, which means that we have 50% less friction and yes, in the last 25% you have the maximum. damping pressure, which is where you can easily bottom out Yes, that means you can do small jumps with the Ranger without something breaking right away, which is why they invested more money in the Fox shocks so that they are simply more robust and can still handle more and of course less friction So I would like to praise the anti-function, of course, even if you want to go off-road, we have a ramp angle of 24 degrees, we have a lean angle of 30 degrees and an approach angle. of 27 degrees rear and 31 degrees forward and then of course there is something more interesting for you which of course we have also

test

ed and that is the wading depth and the image is an impressive 85 cm which means that you can also enter into water and not just through a puddle, that is also important, the ground clearance is also generally 27 cm.

That's an important fact and like I said, it's protected on the bottom, especially the front, so you don't necessarily have to be afraid now, so yes, you've seen videos of the driving event and they're driving over debris. You won't believe it, though, almost nothing is impossible with the Ranger and then some. about the length, of course, it is now 5 m 36 long in total, the wheelbase is 3.30 m long and since that year 1993 high and almost two meters wide exactly and that is only 50 mm more of wheelbase than before and of course that benefits whoever it is of course.

Of course, the passengers inside because I can tell you that you are not short of space no matter where, yes friends, blind spot alarm, what is that? That's the blind spot assist you'll see in the mirror later, there's one. Here we now have integrated taillights, we also have LED taillights and the turn signals are also LED. I think they have done a really great job, of course it is clear to use, but the design is still technically modern despite the pickup, so I think. is successful on the rear Do we really have the correct Ford logo, the rap, the letters in anthracite, um, gray as you hear it, as well as the edges, that's really cool, then it says big Ranger here and of course the La rear view camera is here, of course it's on the outside, that would be nice.

There is no other way to do it with the car, but it is relatively high, so you have to drive through a lot of mud to tolerate it. although even in winter there is still salt around here from time to time, and sometimes it still splashes Salt, but you have to drive on the highway for a long time, so that is not often the case, so maybe before talking about the load In this area we will briefly add something to hold it, we will continue a little so you can do it as usual. Normal Rangers don't pull 3.5 tons with the Rapper, you can pull 2.5 tons, yeah that's just because of the special chassis it has, um I told you, that's why it's the same with the Range Rap, I think is enough or if you just need extreme towing load, just turn to the regular Ranger as the way to go. which also looks great.

Then of course we have the cargo flap here and now there are openings here so you can clip on anything you can. If you hook wood or a table, for example, then you can work on it. It's sturdy enough that you can work on it, now we have this protection around it, so you can do it with it. By washing the steam jet, you can really use it as a workhorse for what it is of course also intended for. then here it goes again because you can add a little love to it we have a 12 volt connection we have a plug that you can see right now and that's it Everything is one meter 22 wide between the wheel arches, of course a little bit wider here and 1.55 long, two entire Euro pallets do not fit next to each other, but a whole Euro pallet does and then just a little noise so that it still fits well and of course something that doesn't.

Come back here because there Now it's the Raptor package, you also have the sport bar in the back and what I think is really cool is that it also shows off a little bit in the truck community. With the Raptor package you get electric roller blinds, yes that means She presses. The button and then they move forward electrically and of course they go backwards. That is of course a great thing, unfortunately we don't have it here now. I would have liked to show it to you, but you can still imagine it, but I can still say it.

For example, not only the cargo area has a sports hoop, but also the protective tray, so now even more here and, as I said then, the sports bar, but for me it is more worth it for the electric roller blind. then a cabin above would give you yes I already said on the side because I think I first told you everything that is important here or I have not told you one important thing yet and that is what you wanted to carry with a load of 656 kilos back here I also thought on one more thing. I also wanted to say the loading hatch, yes you can see that, it's relatively light from the pickup hatch so it's also easy to handle with what I just wanted. to say it's just light, yes that's what we want for the engines and what I was happy back then when I proudly bought the Ranger Rap from the car dealership, just like now, because I thought it was cool, back then with a 213 hp diesel engine and I was already smiling like crazy back then because I thought it was really cool and now you can imagine how I was really smiling when I picked this one up, which I think was more beautiful visually and because this is now. one of my favorite engines beefy, you know, I'm a self-confessed fan of six cylinders and that's exactly what's underneath here, a three-liter V6 with 292 horsepower, 491 Newton meters, it takes 7.9 seconds and at 180 it's just a really cool engine if I want to see the sportiness yes, it also offers sound, which we want to show you in the course of the video, but of course it's also a workhorse, you can pull something to make it run very smoothly on 6 cylinders, it's just one ofthe hot

test

gasoline engines there are, yes, but I have something for you, the Ranger also offers a three-liter six-cylinder diesel with 240 HP, not for the Ranger Raptor but for the normal Ranger, but we saddle the.

Horse from behind. Now we have talked about the gasoline engines and then we will start with the diesel ones, a 2-liter 1400 with 170 HP with a six-speed manual transmission or a top line of show also with a six-speed automatic transmission. there is a two liter 4 cylinder with 250 hp there but with the ten speed automatic transmission and that is an engine for the normal range and the engine will also come for the Ranger Raptor again, so you also have it in this engine manager, but as I said it will be the four cylinder and then as I said there is also a 6 cylinder part with 240 hp also with Singen automatic, but again only for the regular Ranger and, um, depending on the situation, all-wheel drive.

The layout is also different, yes, but of course inside we will show you the all-wheel drive layout of the Rap. We will surely show you the normal winter together with the euphoric car dealer, what a joke that is and 80 liters. 13.6 liters is the standard consumption of 5 km 313 grams per two kilometers from yes, consumption is only one thing with the Ranger, you can even exceed 13.6 so it is possible to drive with eleven liters and you can drive it with 12 liters, that's not even a big problem in principle, but then you have to drive forward, which means that when you come to a place, let it roll, accelerate gently and, like I said, just go; otherwise it's easy to have 14-18 liters on the road if I actually drive the Ranger Raptor, I will say that I drive it normally and overtake it from time to time and put a little strain on the engine, so now I'm consistently hitting 18 liters if you're really into extreme Off-in.

On the road the engine runs constantly um I say now use it and have fun also in Bacher mode just use the sound then there is certainly more than 18 liters with its interior which of course has the key here hit there and then To stop. Here of course open, lock, the center button basically doesn't work because we don't have a button in the trunk, otherwise the lock would be oh never mind, but here in the Ranger we also have the function. that means we got here, you can see in the games we flashed and that's it.

The vehicle is blocked, it's a shame we don't have it in the back, but of course we get to the front. If the vehicle is open, I could also invite someone in the back, for example, or just put it at the bottom of the bag, but I'll go in now and show them the inside when they go inside, so I always kneel like that, but with the car it's something totally stupid, so I can even stand up to tell you, for example, that we have a high-performance door sill and then we have it. Of course the seat now has a sporty feel, we have a cute rapper lyric here, I think it's good that you still have love in it, an extra adjustable headrest is really cool for tall people and this orange leather has been used everywhere .

If it's color code orange, then the girl would do it, but I also think some microfiber Alcantara or suede like the one on the front with leather is great. So my seat here is definitely electrically adjustable. We'll talk about the passenger seat in a moment for the movies. It is also electrically adjustable. I checked it, but there is no memory function, but that's all you have to do. It's white up here. The material is really ultra soft and great. Such a great finish feels good. The compass also matches the car well. Here's a little anthracite. the exterior design picked up here everything is soft here everything is soft and here it becomes more robust I don't think it's bad for the car now because it tolerates it here Before, when you were in the field and so on and you got hit Put it in with your shoes and then maybe you want to wash it here, now here I find soft material, I think it is a good choice of material selection but of course you can have a different opinion than mine.

Of course, come. here now, easy with the door threshold and all the handles, so you can get in here very easily, so I have to say let's continue with the material, of course we don't have a screen that doesn't exist. Back here, it's difficult, but here where you can. Firstly it's almost soft, nice and smooth, then you can even open it, then you have another big storage compartment here where you can put some things, then I have rubberized my shelf here, then it's nice and sturdy again and of course, It's hard down here too, but there's still normal glove boxes here, but it's nice and soft again, yeah, that's really cool, then of course it extends around as well.

The ventilation nozzles, which are also designed in a somewhat off-road style, also have orange elements and we also find them on the steering wheel with decorative stitching, the Raptor lettering with anthracite and also the 12 o'clock. That's a really cool element, we have anthracite around it, the shift paddles feel good and are made of anthracite around the red lettering on the building again anthracite and the steering wheel is also nice and grippy. I really put pressure on my fingers when I do something sporty or have to hold on when I'm off road. I really have to emphasize this because it's a really great steering wheel, really nice and grippy.

It doesn't just look good. , it's also functional, so I can really sink my teeth into this and then I can, I'm always prepared for anything. Now we have the optional ones for the normal

ranger

, but with rap, of course, they are standard. I'll click with you I'm briefly at home, I'm prepared for everything, everything shuts down when the teacher is there, but of course he's not there. It has 64 kilowatts and offers 10 speakers, including a subwoofer, but he is. a hat system and offers good sound. I don't have to tell you now, but that's all. Should I book or not because she is there anyway, so I think the cameraman immediately realized that this time she is already familiar with the big screen. which of course you already have in the Explorer or the Ford Mustang, which the big screen fits well, so take a moment.

Take a look and then you'll see, of course, we'll talk a little bit about infotainment later, so I think that's a great thing before we forget about it. I'll turn off the engine here again, but just take a quick look at my digital cockpit and then see. You know, I'll go out and come back and then you. I'll see the

raptor

in blue, which looks great too, Zack, it was in blue for a short time, normally you can see it a little bit more, but now of course it's the digital cockpit, you can get everything from there, yeah. you can switch between the on-board computers, then you can get the driving assistant, but of course you can also get any other hazard information from the current consumption and then of course from the various on-board computers, so, First of all, consumption. it is from the last 158 ​​even at 14.9 and here it is 17.8, as far as you can see; otherwise we can see of course the oil water temperature and transmission and of course also the range so there we have these four elements again I think they are well done and the speedometer is also clear you can see everything you need to see, fits so far.

A few words about the steering wheel I've already praised, but now it's about what's on offer here. I think the impact canister with the Ford logo is logical. Exciting horn, but we still have some cups here on the left. It's about assistance. Yes, it also offers everything you have today. Full-featured adaptive cruise control. Louder and quieter voice control on the right. Of course, it's the rap that's specifically exciting. We can do it with the toggle here, set the digital cockpit and then the next track, the previous track so far, very exciting, but then I can use the rap button to set my mode or I can always set it individually.

I can just set the exhaust for a long time between Bacher sports normal and quiet, as well as the chassis and As is the steering, of course, I can't set the steering and chassis to high or um or silent, but, of course, still in sports without just comfort and that is something that is really great. You can use the Raptor button. Setting my mode to be a driving mode where I'm like, "Okay, that's just my daily schedule." You can set different modes, that means maybe it is fashionable for off-road terrain. , yes, or just perfect for normal daily driving or a sporty driving style.

You just have to go there, but you can also use it in everyday riding on the normal bike, everything is in comfort mode and you briefly see another van, yes, then it appears here for a moment or Bachern says I have shock absorbers here, of course, too you can do it in the driving modes in my mode, but that way you can quickly adjust a single thing for a short time. at this point and then just add some beats to the infotainment system. We don't want to get too far away from this, but of course now there are four systems as we showed you with the Mustang and Co.

We just showed you. Of course, you can use Apple's Android Auto, we show you the navigation system, that's what already happened, it also works smoothly as you can see, so it doesn't hang anything, you can set it to 3D, 2D, etc. You can also make it bigger or smaller. The next point I still say is whether you can easily enter the system when you get it from others and that is very clear, yes, it is structured very simply here we have, for example, the weather, you can also adjust many things yourself. Up here we have a menu bar where we can enter various points, but we can also directly access the vehicle settings here, such as driving assistance, which of course is very. important, then you can, for example, have everything on for the entire input phase for later and show the lighting at the end because I'm still there, but right now you can only adjust the brightness and that's of course. orange like, of course, the car theme. orange red controls exactly what you can find below.

We don't want to go too far, of course, you can also turn on the lights, terrain, etc. if I go out to a more detailed point. So I can also access the cameras here, access again, this is the front camera here, of course, we can see a picture of the car that is currently running here, then you can also activate the differential lock of the front and rear axles like I told you and then there's also something like a cruise control for the terrain that I think automatically runs up to 30 if you don't trust yourself that much, so the terrain is really already taken care of a little further down. we still have the right spin rules, nice and robust of course, then here are some louder climate rules, quieter as they sound, there's even an inductive charging compartment, yes it's rubberized on the back, some storage compartments, then we also have a little anthracite around the gear lever and then there is no high-gloss black, yes it is made nice and robust, I definitely like it better like now the black high-gloss cup or here there is also two more, of course. we have Start Stop, you can turn off here, we can turn off the ESP here, start the parking assistant and here, this button, there, of course, you can automatically return to this terrain view.

The ones you showed before come, so this is the all-rounder. Button you don't have to look for long when you go off-road, it comes right there. Not only can you adjust the driving modes here, yes we have different driving modes available here ranging from normal sport to slippery mud sand. to Bacher Rock, for example, crawling over terrain or just making your way over stones, so there are many driving modes and then of course you can also see buttons here, those are our laws and then of course we have here The All-wheel drive modes, yes, it's a little different for each range.

We tell you here with the Ranger Raptor. Like I said, we'll show you the normal Ranger again and then we'll spin around as well. 10 speed on some or the six speed gearbox. You will have to read a little about this if, for example, you don't want the Ranger Rap, it is actually only two-wheel drive here. Of course, in the city, for example, you can also save a little fuel and here there would be all-wheel drive automatic, which means it changes it as needed, so if you accelerate a lot and maybe, for example, if you drive sporty and go off-road, then of course the four-wheel drive is on, then we have a big width, nice and wide and also a soft armrest, so you can really push it in, it's big enough and down there you can.

Of course, look for another storage compartment.There have been a little more, but maybe I'm a little spoiled by the other cars. We still drive like this with a laser. lights and other expenses and no truck has flashed at me, even when it's raining because the systems are different, no, then it works, we were on the road in the rain and no truck showed us there, yes You can see the view, I went into Bacher mode at that moment. I just showed it to you so you can get an idea of ​​the fact that things are going abruptly here, but it's easy for the rapper to be a complete joke. a hill so steep, yes, that one laughed at it in Bacher mode, then we can just ride around this meadow here, he doesn't give a damn, of course, we could never show here what he can do, but he just doesn't.

I don't mind driving here I can also turn left here it just doesn't matter and I can drive over these meadows here you can do anything yeah you saw we already crossed the river so it just doesn't matter and now I could stay here for days stopping here in the mountains, driving through the meadows because it just doesn't matter in Bacher mode or in normal mode or whatever of course it's perfect for it and that's what we wanted. To do now, you can see it from the outside but also show it from the inside again, but of course the Raptor Ranger and also the normal Ranger can do a lot more, as we can show now, but of course a

review

without Offroad. 10, of course, it would be silly at one time or another if anyone took a quick look.

Of course, now there's a slight offset here, so it's a little bit tilted and we can actually solve that here with the Raptor, so that's not a problem at all. and then we can drive very nice and lean here and that's no problem. I'm going to get my cameraman out again and then film the same thing again from outside, clean it up a little for the conclusion and then we're standing on the top of the mountain where you can take a break with the Raptor Ranger where others can't take a break. rest, of course, now many will write some effort.

I can do that with my Helix and I can do that with my other one too, of course, but the Ranger Rapper can do it too and still offers some sportiness. Besides that, I think the design is just great, I think it's a bit like that, so I think this time it's even possible to attract customers who are not fans of pickup trucks or who at least haven't imagined buying a pickup yet because you have a huge cargo area that you can load. If you want you can even trade it in for a full size van, you still have seating for five people, enough space for four people, definitely a big V6 in it, current technology, assist, adaptive LEDs, you don't have to miss out on anything because others offer it too and you can still see a lot of space.

Totally modern. And sporty for a truck, yes, they have drawn it beautifully, so to speak, it offers everything. Of course, you can do a lot off-road, more than we can show you. You can always drive over rocks. over rocks with the Fox shocks, a sick thing with open tires, he goes through those meadows everywhere and climbs like that are no problem for him. The water, we drove through the river, that's not a problem, he just does everything, yeah. so with Game you can definitely do it on skin too. With the Raptor Ranger, of course, you also have the opportunity to drive sportily with a great sound and in the end that has its price, that's why from 79,000 432 ours costs 81,000 1146 we will also have the orange Danube we also have reserved and the maximum price is 83,526 then with the rapper sticker and the rapper package what I told you with the electric blinds, if you want a six figure and diesel you have to take the Wildtrak and therefore fully equipped it costs 71,288 you save money it has a wahltrack it has a 3 liter 6 cylinder diesel also great if you want to wait for the Raptor because you just like the look of the Raptor you just had Wait for the diesel of course, now it will be even cheaper because it only comes in a four cylinder two liters and not in a 3-liter 6-cylinder.

I would definitely take it that way, but probably not in the orange color. in blue why I think Amarok is better now, of course it's purely a matter of taste I think it's prettier I don't think the other one is ugly There's no doubt, no, but I think this one is prettier and offers me more sportiness, too of the car's sound and off-road suitability, while the Amarok places more emphasis on off-road suitability. There is no difference between this and the sportiness of a classic rapper anymore, which is why I think the car is great. and I think if you take the higher price of 84,000 or our price of 81,000 is almost justified, it is a lot of money, without a doubt, it is a lot of money, but if you consider that it is there, everything has five seats, current technology, cargo space, with all-terrain tires made of Teflon, this and that are damaged, so its off-road capability has family capability and but also sportiness, if you consider what other cars cost now, we have shown you a CLA 45, you can do it. upgrading to normal 100,000 Class C in 90 to cars are expensive and then a big suitcase like that for 81,000 is relatively cheap but still appropriate.

Nowadays we have different prices than before, write below what the car says now. the design from a technical point of view, how you like it from a technical point of view, what it says about the car and yes, you don't even need to write that we don't show the maximum on the terrain because we showed you a little bit of the off-road 10 just so that Don't just be very classic

review

s to show a little what it can do and from that point of view I look forward to your comments on the car, of course. but the video, if you subscribe, we'll be happy to keep showing it more and more and yes, you can go by Tiger.

If you want, if I don't, you can still enjoy the sensational view of the mountain that We stayed with the rapper and then I wish you a good day and see you next time.
