Lower the music volume especially when you talk.
It would make your clips better.

[JonMcG]

not to be picky but, did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, we clicked on this vid to see the Raptor, Not you ? please show more of the Raptor doing the obstacle, cheers

[R.Sole]

It seems a decent machine, one thing I absolutely hate is the stupid flappy paddles moving with the steering wheel instead of being fixed to the column.

I'm looking forward to you getting your hands on one and giving it a good test👍🏻

"You putting it on your favorite tracks back home." Where exactly is that?😁

[bradtuckerman]

Here to look at the car, not the host.

[Deatomizer]

I've pre-ordered mine in black. Won't see it till end of 2023 :(

[danielwilson]

Bit disappointed seeing more of old mate inside the car rather the raptor.

[Peter-igul]

I just don't get it. Why that much horse power and terrible fuel economy. I would love to buy the raptor but 400hp petrol engine is to much.
3 litre v6 220hp to 250hp more than enough and if the specs would have been like that would be my dream 4x4 ute/car and for many other people.

Come on Ford, give us a V6 Diesel Raptor option and I'll buy it

Хотя, ...по полям мы все гонять любим и умеем...

Но такую тачку я бы поубивал с кайфом, ахаааа...

Every review is the same, ford brought us here to go fast in dirt, ford are daylight robbers at the moment, estimated price for what is still essentially a normal ranger inside, so internal comfort and room is lacking, it still doesn’t have the carrying or towing capacity, is $93 grand (ford website) Question is, is ford trying to justify the F150 future price tag through the raptor. I spoke with Canadian service and parts staff employed by a dealer, even they said in Canada for $80 grand Canadian or $89 grand Australian you can get the most up to date, top spec large pickup truck, with every conceivable extra, while in Australia we are robbed for choice and ripped off on price.

Incredibly bad timing for Ford to release this vehicle now in the middle of historically high petrol prices. This vehicle, built to be driven full noise, full right boot will see the fuel needle match the tacho needle for pace! Petrol will hit $2.50 per litre and will be very, very few to afford to hoon about. As for touring, well to ease the pain on the hip pocket you back off. Or buy a diesel - oh, thats right, there isn't one! Once the hype and up-talk dries up about this fuel guzzler engine, Ford may realize the sales they are missing with no diesel for Raptor. Or is there? The chassis, the suspension, the tuning is all going to work well for outback touring, except for fuel economy. Which then leaves the question - where can you actually make use of it's attributes fully?

Ford takeover has officially hit overdrive. Dont think anyones topping Next Gen for a while to come

[johnhunter]

Great Ute. Try less music in the background thanks

[brianhoward]

A great new ute, to be sure. The 3L V6TT is what this device really needed after merely subsisting on the filthy polluting stinking diesel in the lower models. That the new Raptor is sold-out for about 100 years is hardly surprising - it looks to be truly great. What saddens me though is that, not all that long ago, we had a 'ready-to-go' fully developed and manufactured all AUSTRALIAN motor that would put this new V6 in the shade, bigtime. The final incarnation of the hallowed Barra - the 370Kw (493HP) used in the 550 now-collectible limited edition FG-X Sprint 6. It would have been the quintessentially perfect donk to live under the snout of this incredible new Ranger. I have a Sprint 6 and I can tell you, after 45 years of driving V8s and HiPo 6s, this final factory/stock '500HP' Barra is the best of all I've ever sampled. That we don't have this 4 litre AUSTRALIAN techno-marvel now, especially in Ranger, is an absolute travesty. Long live the great new V6 and its 'limited' performance. ;-)

Nice! Been watching since 2014 but subbed not to long ago

[ttoutmat]

More off a Toyota guy, but this beauty I can buy!!

[tba]

There’s isn’t a reason why they can’t just stick a V8 in it.

Вот там все без компромиссов.или техника ебашит или нет.как у нас на Севере.
