Bump and rut impact suppression from those high-tech Fox dampers, now with “live valve” technology adaptive for compression, is astounding. Mark 1 was great, Mark 2 just ate it alive. We ran new and old Raptor back to back over an evil high-speed track. Despite its height and weight, it’s astoundingly sure-footed, with higher cornering speeds than would be prudent in any standard Ranger. Ranger Raptor chief Dave Burn, who had a big role in developing XR Falcons back in the day, assured it would handle like a Focus ST on the seal, and he wasn’t wrong. The ride and handling are better than Ranger’s, which already sets a standard. Braking performance remains a strength Ranger also now has discs all round but Raptor has the same, larger, 332mm rotor diameter front and rear and now has an electric brake booster that improves pedal feel. The steering is sharper, with better sense of connection. Driving-wise, the beast is different for reasons beyond its ferocity. Ford’s contention about Raptor being so different to Ranger is deserves to be considered its own thing kinda makes sense. BTW, NZ specification absents the bead lock wheels optional across the Tasman, active park assist 2.0 and the decal pack option and colour choices are more limited. #Mazda toolbox 2015 mazda 3 plusIt gets the same high-resolution digital instrument cluster and centre console screens as general-issue Ranger, but with more functionality, plus there’s a sports-style seat and thicker-rimmed steering wheel and paddle shifters. ![]() Actually, not in width, for reason that it wouldn’t fit down the assembly line if that increased. The enhanced styling is ace a stance so aggressive you’d swear it growls in its sleep and it appears brawnier all round. Notwithstanding all of that, Raptor is a work of genius. Reductions in payload (by 244kg, to 753kg) and towing maximums (by 1000kg, to 2.5 tonnes) due its race truck suspension, brakes and wheels are not as bad as before, but still enough to site it as a shirker against regular Ranger. Clean Car Standard coming into force on January 1 is another potential proctology-level pain if that legislation plays out fully, this rig will heft a $10,000 penalty in 2025. The 292 grams of CO2 per kilometre output assessed under our WLTP3 protocol (Ford Australia says 262, but that’s with the outdated NEDC formula) means there’s a $5175 Clean Car penalty on top of the $89,990 showroom sticker. It’s also deep into the naughty corner for emissions. Ready for that, when previous the Raptor sat at 8.1l and the current Wildtrak puts it back at 8.4l/100km? This Ford F150-plucked unit brings American drinking habits, going top shelf – 95 octane or better – and knocking back 11.5 litres per 100km on paper, much worse in our workout. ![]() #Mazda toolbox 2015 mazda 3 fullRegardless that the cachet of class-topping oomph seems to be fuelling a forward order stampede, Ford NZ knows full well there’s good reason why the Ranger-led local one-tonne scene is wholly diesel. It’s hard to have a vehicle-related conversation these days without discussing prices at the pump, consumption rates and CO2 outputs.
