Review: 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor 2.0 Bi-Turbo 4x4
From a practical standpoint, the Ford Ranger Raptor shouldn’t make sense. Who, in their right frame of mind, would want to drive a pickup truck that’s wider, less practical, and designed for high-speed dirt driving—the sort of terrain the Philippines doesn’t get? A lot of you, apparently. So much so that the Philippines is home to the second most number of Ranger Raptors sold globally, the world leader being Australia. With such a pedigree attached to it, can Ford manage to repeat the first-gen’s success with this all-new next-generation Ranger Raptor? Mostly.
