Patent >> Addictive power, sublime suspension, serious presence, excellent technology Disadvantages>> Too many shifts, very thirsty, too big for some It was 2017 and I remember talking with a group of friends about the coming of the First Ranger Raptor. Ford has sold the all-around F-150 Raptor in the U.S. for years, but has never offered the same treatment for its smaller trucks on its home market, let alone in Australia. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que :()}; adpushup.que.push(function(){if(adpushup.config.platform!=="Desktop"){adpushup.triggerad("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-4db4-8135 c5088799a76a76a76f8") adpushup.triggerad("82503191-E1D1-435A-874F-9C78A2A54A2F"); 2025 Rivian R1 Comment: A Look at the Imperfect but Promising Future When the first Ranger Raptor arrived it was well received but felt a little half-life and retained the plain turbodiesel engine of the regular truck. It is far from the Raptor, and many people think of it. Yes, it does get some impressive chassis and suspension upgrades, but it doesn't fit into the Raptor badge.

Watching this Ford F-150 Raptor flattened will crush you
This special shelter Green F-150 Raptor may have been used in truck development go through Brad Anderson March 1, 2025, 21:01 Why the truck was crushed is unknown, but it may be a prototype before it was made.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has long been king in terms of exciting and engaging high-performance pickup trucks. Of course, the more powerful RAM 1500 TRX and F-150 Raptor R have stolen some thunder in recent years, but Standard Raptor still has a loyal following. Unfortunately, there are fewer in the United States now due to a ruthless encounter with a car crusher.

Shelby American shows us the 2024 Baja Raptor
Even before a new car After the launch, the company behind it asked, "What's next?" It started thinking about the limitations of the upcoming model and how to overcome them in the next generation. Apparently, when Shelby American looked at the Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R and asked this question, the answer was "more."

Ford Raptor meets Porsche 911 GT3 | C.Quartz | Opti-Coat
You might be asking yourself, why are we writing an article about the Ford Raptor and the Porsche 911 GT3? What could they possibly have in common? Their horsepower numbers are close, but that’s where the similarities end. They do have another thing in common, however, they both came here, are now protected, and look better than ever! We recently had the pleasure of working on two customer vehicles at the same time. One was a newly purchased Ford Raptor that we use as our daily/trailer, and the other was a track-ready 911 GT3 that was time to take care of both. After loading the GT3 onto the trailer, the Raptor towed it here so we could inspect each vehicle and come up with a plan. The GT3 arrived with the clear cover already installed and in very good condition, we just wanted to keep it that way. We prepped the exterior and then applied a ceramic coating to the…
