Well I ordered a Ford Ranger Raptor, delivery before end of year I am told.

I looked at the last generation Raptor but I didn’t want the 4 cylinder diesel. I was hoping for the V8 Coyote but that never eventuated.
So am happy there is a petrol twin turbo v6, great suspension and diff locks as I will 4wd in it.
So ford, you got another customer for doing that. I am a bit over the issues with Diesel injectors, DPf’s , catch cans etc in my current diesel.

As an aside I cross shopped Ram 1500. Nice v8, plenty of space for the family, but the new DT limited was $130K DA…. ( there are cheaper ones on the old ram platform but they are archaic inside) And 6-12 months wait anyway. Which I could not justify.
