Ranger Raptor 2021
Hi,

New member here. Been scouting for a forum for future Raptor discussions, seems that Ranger 5g is the place for it.

No past experience on Ranger but either driven or owned Hilux, Amarok, Jeep, etc.

Signed papers for a new Raptor to replace old Chevy Volt. Delivery "in due time" (feb-may). Specs below:
- Performance blue
- No decalc pack
- Erberspracher heater (with remote/timer)
- Ford/ArcticTrucks modified N2 kit (extra air suspension on rear) - payload weigh increased from 620kg to 965kg, speed limited to 89km/h

Paid too much..

Why does Ford continue to deny U.S. customers a Ranger Raptor? Guessing they fear it would hurt sales of the more expensive F-150 version.

" speed limited to 89km/h "
ouch. dont go to this thread....

Speed is limited to N2 regulations. Main differences are gross weight over 3500kg, speed limit, Requirement for a C1 driving license and being tax free. Would possibly be an option for UK & other European countries for a tax reduction as stock does not qualify for N2.

The N2 modification costs about 7k€, but then saves about 40k€ on taxes (here in Finland).

Yes, to this in N America. Instead of a "margin builder" how about a Raptor for the people, say 45k with beefed up suspension, a good front bumper with winch, light bar, the right stance and wheels etc -- but maybe just the factory tune on the 2.3 to keep prices reasonable? Of course Ford will do none of this but it's worth a shout.

I'll gladly give up the ability to go buy a ranger raptor in exchange for avoiding all those overbearing bullshit regulations and taxes Europe likes to slap on its subordinates. Lol.
