G'day all,

The Aussie invasion continues.
Billy here, from the Wimmera region in Victoria, Australia. I'm currently awaiting delivery of an Arctic White 2020.75 Ranger Raptor (yup, the forbidden fruit for you North Americans). I should take delivery of it within the next two weeks.

I currently drive a 2017 Ford Focus ST, which I am trading on the Raptor.

My Father also owns a 2013 Ranger XLT space-cab, 3.2l diesel, six speed auto 4x4. This Ranger has about 140,000 km on the clock currently, and has been a relatively solid vehicle. (The transmission was replaced last year under warranty, it failed due to a known fault with the torque converter that affected the earlier PX Rangers. Yes Ford warrantied the box three years and ~25,000km after the warranty ended).

Look forward to being involved with this dedicated community, even if we don't quite have the same Rangers.

G'day John,

Yes I'm itching for it to arrive, constantly checking the ship tracker (currently somewhere in the Bight), hopefully have it either at the end of next week or early the following!
Will definitely be posting some pics when it arrives

Well I've put 160 km on the clock already, and I have to say that this thing is exceeding my expectations. It is quiet, comfortable and despite all the talk about the engine, it performs well (haven't tried it out properly yet obviously, I'll give it a little while longer ? ).

Ford, thanks for building such an amazing vehicle.
