Ranger Raptor

[hinch]

David... you are emigrating? Taking the mustang ..
Or what?

i'm just going out for a few months setup offices and hire some staff for one of my companies. I'll be coming back in the meantime missus is having the mustang probably as her run around if not then it'll go into storage.

figured if I was going to be putting up with all the friendlyness over there I may as well pick up a truck while i'm out there + colorado so "snow" figured a 4x4 probably a good bet.

You must tell me where as I can hit $70k+ without even selecting all the options. I know as I've just ordered one for me when I move out to Colorado.

F150's aren't available over here but imported they're running at 90-100k+ GBP for the raptor variant. Whatever price you spec a car in the states put 30-40 % ontop and then add another 10k to be safe and thats what we get charged over here.

Just using the Ford build your own, I could get it to MAYBE 70k fully loaded. Not sure if the EU website is different. But I got 68k fully loaded minus some appearance decals and fake carbon fiber.

i used the yank website we can't price an f150 over here ofc that price is excluding any dealer mark up too as on the yank website you don't buy direct from ford they just refer your order to the dealer in the zip code you gave them. I think it came to just over 80 driven off the dealers lot when I ordered it

Well I do work at a ford dealer, I can just go ask one of the salesman. We have had 4 this year, haven't seen one yet over 70k.

We don't mark up any of our vehicles. What is on the sticker is what you pay.

Ill eat some crow, ours is 70,250 lol

Looks great, I think its a shame it doesn't have a bit more power, the ranger is a fairly heavy bit of kit.

Quick thread revival...

After considering weighing in the Mustang for something different, thought I'd price one of these up. £40k seems a bit pricey. However, on pricing it up, it was only when I got to the very last stages that the £40k price tag didn't include VAT!

Sorry, but the best part of £50k for a 2.0l diesel is out of the question. Who do Ford think they are? JLR?!

Glad we didn't get our pants pulled down like this with the first wave of S550 Mustangs when a GT could be had for well under £35k including VAT.

import a 2014 f150 raptor with the coyote v8 in it about 30k on the road 25k for the car rest to bring it over and convert it
chuck a whipple on it and have a 600 hp pickup \o/

You have to hand it to Ford UK for turning the reaction to a Raptor from "wow, what a car" to "wow, what a mug"

 

[hinch]

from the first reviews everyones saying the engine is gutless and the gearbox is terrible, when will they learn pickups needs a v8

Or a petrol V6 ecoboost like they have as an alternative to the V8s in the F150s would be better than a diesel. Even a petrol hybrid. But a 2 litre tractor sounding diesel in a Raptor...jeez

This ^ I'd love to know why Ford didn't do this, absolute no brainier for the Raptor surely. They'd sell like hot cakes with that engine. But sounds like Ford had issues pricing it up, so maybe that's why?

tell you look at this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Ford-...660078?hash=item23c0275b2e:g:JnwAAOSw4e1dGHT5

you'd get that just about on the road in the uk for about the same price as a base ranger in limited spec (same as mine) yeah its 5 years old ish but its quite low mileage for its age and like all yank v8's it'll go forever if well looked after.
