jpd80 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) WTF does that mean? Mansplain is when you talk down to someone like they're a fucking moron. But enough about me ranting on....... What is it that you guys want to see in a Ranger Raptor/ Obviously everyone leaps to the 2.7 EB but what if Ford goes all out with a TT 3.0 V6 from Lincoln, improved to 450 hp and 450 lb ft via twin fuel injection and bigger turbos......

They wont use the 3.0. The numbers would be too close to the 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) . They wont use the 3.0. The numbers would be too close to the 150 That just seems like a highly unnecessary restriction. Ford should design all it's vehicles to be best in class, not worrying about nutering the ranger because "muh f150 sales" What's sad is you're probably 100% right and that's why Ford sucks right now Edited February 14, 2018 by probowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 blksn8k2........you dont think Aussies will export the US version back to Aussie given its most lkely going to have a higher horsepower engine?.... Ford can just put the 2.3 EB in the global Ranger in Thailand where Aussies get theirs I don't think Ford will bother with RHD Ranger production in the US.

If its somehow more cost effective to do it here they will, especially if A. The Bronco does end up being RHD B. They do end up bringing the Everest to MAP.

Deanh Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 converting LHD to RHD is a pretty thriving business in Aussie/ New Zealand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) converting LHD to RHD is a pretty thriving business in Aussie/ New Zealand.... The price of a RHD converted F150 Raptor is around AUS $185K - AUS$195K A converted F250 XLT crew 6.7 4x4 is around $130K Edited February 16, 2018 by jpd80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean, just wanted clarification of what you were saying. BTW, I wouldn't be so sure there will be a North American version. “To me, the most important thing now is that every human being in the world has access to a Raptor," Hameedi told us. "So, if it’s North America, you get an F-150 Raptor; the rest of the world, you get a Ranger Raptor." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Dean, just wanted clarification of what you were saying. BTW, I wouldn't be so sure there will be a North American version. Except the ROW doesn't get F-150, period. So therefore you're "stuck" with the Ranger Raptor. Here we'll get both vehicles, so both Raptors are possible.

Here we'll get both vehicles, so both Raptors are possible. The rest of the automotive world that doesn't wear blue shaded glasses might disagree. And we may just be stuck with the F-150 as the only Raptor choice since nobody needs both, based on how you choose to interpret Hameedi's response. Me thinks One Ford, if there ever was such a thing, went out the door right behind Mulally. Edited February 17, 2018 by blksn8k2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 You can't One Ford regional specific products, especially a cash cow like F truck but providing certain versions to other regions can be quite lucrative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
