    A Ranger Raptor would be perfect. Too bad we don't get it here.

    No, the point of the raptor is to be stupid and ridiculous.

    Using it as a trim package on a ranger with a 4 cylinder engine ruins it.

    The raptor is very useable though, including as a truck doing truck things (hauling and towing).

    Rangers are already useless (not including the new one which just came out, I dont know about those) and would be even more useless raptor-ized.

    Would be amazing as a toy, dont get me wrong. I'm probably going to buy a class 7s ranger for baja/mexican 1000 this year from California.

    The new ones are about the same amount of truck as the 10th gen F-150, only slightly smaller.

    People bought 4cyl and V6 Mustangs, I wouldn't be surprised if Ford bastardized the Raptor too.

    Wanted one really bad, ended up buying a used Duramax for 1/4 the price and haven’t worried about it since.

    Still cool trucks and I love the look and equipment.

    Almost bought one. After some reconsidering I couldn’t justify the almost 100k price tag on it and atrocious interest rate for it being a “specialty vehicle”. 5%-6% interest on a new vehicle is just stupid.

    Colorado is a better truck than I thought it would be. Not a good comparison with the raptor, even the zr2 version, aside from also looking awesome.

    Raptor is incredibly practical for certain uses. Knew a field guy who had one as his daily driver. That thing is great for gravel roads.

    You realize you are talking to the guy who made his own furniture out of salad bowls right?

    Have also heard good things about the ride quality of the raptor on lease roads from our field contractors.

    I did not find towing with a Raptor (Gen1) very fun. It didn't like having a 6K Wakeboard boat behind it. I think if you were occasionally hauling a dirtbike etc it's the best truck out there. But dollar to dollar I like the HD's for everything but offroad

    I think it’s more of a capable of towing in a pinch than a dedicated tow vehicle.
