Having deployed the Raptor mostly on tarmac, we introduced it to tougher turf with unsurprising results
No turf has proven too tough for the Ranger Raptor. Picture: DENIS DROPPA
However, its standout skill is formidable terrain-taming. We know this as we have since taken its ample rubber and axle articulation to two separate off-road venues, and it flattened every challenge we threw its way. The 157kW and 500Nm four-cylinder diesel echoes this task, murmuring rather than screaming on challenging terrain. Kick it up a notch and activate 4Lo and diff-locks and it surges upwards with even more ridiculous ease.
The switch activated off-road equipment was demonstrated at another venue: Leeuwenkloof farm in the Magalies area, where Ford hosts newbie Ford Ranger and Everest owners and initiates them on how to use their steeds in off-road driving conditions. It's a complimentary service.
