2021 Ford Ranger RAPTOR- anyone else interested?

After we sold my wife’s Pro Taco we were planning on getting a Rubicon Wrangler (still have my 17 Off Road Taco which I never plan on selling). But now that it’s been confirmed that Ford is bringing the Ranger Raptor to the states I’m thinking of waiting it out and seeing how worthy this baby Raptor is. If Ford doesn’t screw it up and basically makes a compact version of the current Raptor then this might be the midsize truck to beat. Anybody else interested?


Pictures are the current Ranger Raptor sold in other countries. Obviously the updated for 2021 US spec Raptor will look a little different.

 

I like it. All depends on price. Comparable to the pro and we’ll talk.

 

If you’re asking for worthless opinions, I think it looks too curvy and European. And that’s coming from a Brit.

 

No. I'm burned on American makers. I went Toyota for a reason.

 

interesting. I’m having the exact opposite experience! Ha. More little things wrong with this truck than on any of my fords combined (4 vehicles)

 

It depends upon the power train, price, what it looks like... lots of variables.

I'm a Ford guy, I'd take a look. But not for 70 grand.

 

I like it. I wouldn't buy because of the MSRP. Ford offers better trucks for less money than a RR. Example RC F-150 short bed.

 

I had a 2013 Raptor before the Taco. I’ll be looking at this for sure because I need a compact truck, but miss the Raptor

 

If Ford can keep the msrp in check this should be a home run for them.

 

If it had a 5.0 and a Manual Transmission yes, otherwise absolutely not.

 

yup

 

Man that top down photo looks killer. I've driven a Raptor only once but I remember it being huge. A Ranger Raptor seems like a good size... just need to step it up from their turbo 4.

 

if the rumors pan out it will be a 2.7 w/ twin turbos. definitely going to test drive one if it happens

 

Twin Turbos.... okay okay!

 

The price for rangers is already stupid, can’t wait to see what they charge for this.
