2024 Ford Ranger Raptor | Higher Effort, Better Truck

We drive and discuss the technical and engineering side of the new 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. This primarily new truck improves many of the issues the previous generation had. The price is also attractive for many who want a smaller off-roader. The Chevy Colorado, Ram 1500, Toyota Tacoma, and Tesla Cybertruck are others to consider.

Very excited to see one of the Raptor variants driving on the hard shoulder in Chicago during rush hour.

[staylor]

A lot of engineering went into a truck that Kyle is going to use to run stop signs while vaping and drinking monsters.

[anthonymagagnoli]

Thanks for coming out, Jack! It was good to hang out and spray some dirt together.

[chrxx]

Coming soon to a target parking lot near you.

[derekbreschetti]

I like that the engineer is excited about their products and they love to talk about them. They take pride in stuff and it’s great.

[Miggyj]

These things are so incredibly loved in Australia, people go crazy for them.

[jlolment]

Love when the engineers just talk and don't feel pressure to hit marketing tracks. Ford team and SG team killed it

12:40 "before Chris and I pound this thing around your dirt course" sounds like a sidebar in a Regular Car Reviews video

[TheHomeExpert]

I just wish they had made the "FORD" letters across the grill twice as big.

[RatBürgerSk]

Looks like a fun truck honestly, seems more manageable and versatile than the massive F-150 version. Do wish they did a standard cab for this generation.

[ScottyNorth]

I have one of these for the last 13 months. Put 25, 000 miles on it. I have never had a more fun car on dirt roads. It is a blast.

Had the Herrod performance upgrade done, so has 480hp and 590ft-lb

It is such a fun car to have in our home. Everyone loves driving it.
Highly recommend

[JHONNYR]

Can't wait to see these at the local shopping mall!!!

[texasknight]

Jack's laughter is all the endorsement I need.

[air-headedaviator]

This has been some of the most indef info dumps on a vehicle from an engineer ever. My guy is basically telling me how to make a Raptor

[rmps]

405hp in a smaller truck like this ain't too shabby.

[Beaphstake]

The badass transition using the handshake felt very 80's action movie. Great stuff

[ProjectFairmont]

The engineer had some corporate lingo, but explaining suspension dynamics and physics in practical terms is a gift.

[maxbls]

I’ve only been waiting for this truck in America since 2021

[taker]

Starting at 20K less than the F-150 Raptor and 30K less than the Bronco Raptor this is the absolute bargain in the Raptor family. I'd have no real use for one but I'd love to have one.

You hardly ever see newer 2018 and up rangers compared to the f150. But the older rangers are a beast and still so many casually driving somewhere.
