Next-gen Ranger Raptor

Anton Willemse Jnr

It’s no secret that a new Ford Ranger is on the horizon, and we have received a ton of information regarding the new, modern, and super hot 2022 Ford Ranger. However, information regarding the flagship Raptor has been scarce, but Ford has just released a striking video that might reveal some intriguing clues relating to this one…

When you listen to the roar from this brute, you’ll quickly realise that its probably a high-revving petrol engine under the bonnet! And we have some suspicion about what engine it might be – could it be the Bronco’s 3.0-litre Ecoboost twin-turbo petrol V6? We have been saying that this would be a great engine option for the blue oval’s halo model for years as it will translate into some insane figures. This engine has a power output of nearly 298Kw (though no official numbers have been released).

Information is still a closely guarded secret – however, mark your calendars because the veil will be lifted with a global reveal video dropping then.

There was great excitement when Jeep revealed the Gladiator for the first time in 2018. The first units rolled off the assembly line in 2020 and caused an even bigger stir thanks to a ruggedly attractive design, a plethora of standard features, and great performance, both on the road and off the beaten track. Here in South Africa, the Gladiator was finally launched in June 2022. ANTON WILLEMSE SNR recently put it to the test.

Meat Loaf’s 1977 hit song could just as well have been written about the new Ford Ranger Raptor. ANTON WILLEMSE SNR insists that this is probably the craziest and most fun vehicle he has ever driven, and that it might be a while before we see anything similar on the roads.

“Well, I can see myself tearing up the road, faster than any other boy has ever gone.”

They are often called the underdogs at trail line-up, but from the tales of our followers the Suzuki Jimny is truly #BornForThis and can keep up with any of the hardebaarde, often reaching spots the big guns can’t!

Avid overlander and 4×4 enthusiast, PATRICK CRUYWAGEN, compares the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona, to other overland and 4×4 shows around the world. What he saw and experienced there was a bit of a culture shock… quite unlike anything he had ever come across in other countries.
