Fingers crossed it has the ecoboost petrol V6. If it retains the current 3.2 diesel, it would be a massive disappointment.

To live up to the name it needs a performance motor and good suspension - not a sticker pack hopefully!

A V6 EB would be the icing on the cake if Ford want to stay ahead of the game. if they are happy to tick over and not push fine thats understandable. But with the new players coming into the market, with an established name, they need to continue the momentum. A Tdi, not matter the output will be disappointing. Atleast have the V6 EB as an option and I guess all the R&D is done on the 5 pot. But in saying that perhaps some more mods would be needed for their durability testing if they are meeting higher internal standards. Either way its cool, just hope its more than a sticker pack.

 Anything less and it won't be a Raptor IMHO. And Raptors don't have deseasals, turbo (OK, ecoboost) petrol thanks  Stickers accepted, but ONLY if Ford get the performance and suspension right. .

They'll pick up the funds when they start selling these in the US and Europe. I remember reading, that the US have issues (in their melons) regarding Diesel and i think the Raptor name is PERFORMANCE. A nice TT3.5L V6 just oooozes the goods!!! |

Ecoboost and the 10 speed for sure, by then. Suspension will be a big difference I reckon. Tipping interior will be a nicer, more race inspired place to be. Maybe even Focus-like... This will be a serious car (or whatever else you call these dual cab Utes) IMO. I don't reckon they'll take the Raptor name lightly. I've been on record as saying I'd rather pull hairs out of my bum than drive a dual cab ute- could this change that? Hmmmmm.....

Won't be suprised if Ranger becomes the best selling car in 2018 or 19

I think I saw one of these getting around the Alice a few weeks ago. I had no idea what it was so didn't take a lot of notice. If it was one of them it is a little bigger than the ranger but I don't think it was a diesel. But like I said I didn't take a heap of notice.

I read 'somewhere' a few days ago when this Ranger was spied, Ford Oz can't call it a Raptor because Hino own that name in Australia, like Toyota (?) own Edge, and it is likely to be called Ranger Raider.
But then, that could have may have been BS. |

It won't be a run of the mill ranger diesel.. :P
Price will tip 90K once dealers get in on the act.
