I'm Matt, I drove an 88 Ranger in high school but I've mostly owned Bronco IIs and Explorers. I'm hoping the Ranger has more head room than a Tacoma (I'm about 6'4").
I didn't think we'd get a Raptor in the first year here stateside. Probably not even in the second year. I would love to have a diesel option under the hood though. Probably won't happen though.
I don't think a Raptor version has been announced in North America. At least not for the 2019 model year. I know they are getting it in Asia and stuff. Not sure if they sell the F-150 Raptor overseas but I'd imagine Ford wouldn't want to compete with its self.
