Review: 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor

When Steven Spielberg gave Jurassic Park the popcorn treatment, he may have given an unforgettable role to the T-Rex, but the main villains were, without a doubt, the Raptors. Aggressive, agile, lethal—these are the film’s fearsome predators and at the mere sight of them, is enough to shake Jell-O out of a kid’s hands. Ford and their go-fast division, Ford Performance figured as much too and reckoned that there’s no name more appropriate to strike fear in the pickup truck segment. This is the 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor: the truck that’ll shake the Jell-O out of the hands of every single other pickup in the market.

As Nissan’s flagship SUV in the Philippines, the Terra took a bite out of the SUV market dominated by the likes of the Fortuner and Montero Sport. Launching a 7-seater SUV was a first for Nissan, and was, for all intents and purposes, a make-or-break model. Luckily for them, they understood that they had to stand out and for that, they capitalized on two major factors: the mechanical refinement and the cutting-edge safety tech. And this is what this story’s about—Nissan taking a step back from the number crunching and focusing on the elements that matter to everyday road warriors every time he or she gets behind the wheel.

While most twenty-, thirty-, or even forty-somethings won’t recognize it by now, they were, at one time, the car world’s hottest ticket.
