    Ford Ranger Raptor Revealed – Arriving In SA in 2019

    Say hello to the new Ford Ranger Raptor which is an off-road ready version of the pickup truck slotting below the very popular F-150 Raptor.

    This is the first-ever Ranger Raptor which has been designed, built and tested to set a benchmark as the only factory-built performance truck across Asia Pacific.

    “The Ford Performance team is excited to extend the Raptor name from our flagship off-road performance F-150 to Ranger,” said Jamal Hameedi, chief engineer, Ford Performance. “Just like the F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor builds upon the core capability of the range of vehicles it comes from and carries the unmistakable Ford Performance DNA appearance.”

    Powering the pickup is a new 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel unit which develops 210 horsepower (156 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. This is pushed to the all-wheel drive system through a 10-speed automatic gearbox that’s co-developed by Ford and GM.

    If you want to give it some more stance and presence, you could even opt for some Ford Ranger fender flares.

    • Long-travel Fox suspension with rear coilovers
    • Extra underbody protection
    • 17-inch rims covered in BF Goodrich all-terrain tires
    • 332mm front and rear brake discs
    • Ground clearance is increased to 283mm
    • Approach angle of 2.5°, ramp over angle of 24°, and departure angle of 24°
    • Overall dimensions are 1873mm tall, 2180mm wide and 5398mm long
    • Noticeably bigger from its regular Ranger siblings
    • Adopts the Baja driving mode from the F-150 Raptor

    It will be coming to South Africa in 2019 when it will be produced both in Thailand and at the Silverton Assembly Plant in Pretoria.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
