CarExpert's Take
NA
Max Davies
Marketplace Journalist
Max Davies drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Buttery V6 diesel
- Robust tech inside and out
- Still indisputably the non-PHEV ute benchmark
Misses
- There are more logical Rangers at better prices
- Generally expensive compared to rivals
- No tonneau cover as standard
Colours Available
Ford is giving its gen-two Ranger and Ranger Raptor a handful of colours including some brilliant bright colours for the alter, including one exclusive to the flagship ute.
However, if you like 50 shades of grey – or, in this case, three – you’ll still have some options that’ll suit.
The colour palette comprises the following:
- Absolute Black
- Aluminium
- Arctic White
- Blue Lightning
- Meteor Grey
- Sedona Orange
- Luxe Yellow (Wildtrak only)
- Code Orange (Raptor only)
- Conquer Grey (Raptor only)
