2023 Ford Ranger Raptor Review

This thing makes no sense in the world we live in. So of course I REALLY want one!

That comes with a 450bhp, 3.5-litre V6, though not to the UK, it doesn’t.

Pickups & SUVs dominate US market

Sales of SUVs and pickups increase massively over past decade squeezing out saloons and hatchbacks

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise, but sales of trucks and SUVs have massively increased in United States of America over the past 10 years, whilst market share for saloons and hatchbacks has been dramatically shrunk. No wonder Ford of US is switching over entirely to SUVs (apart from Mustang – the world’s best-selling sportscar).
