The new Ford Ranger Raptor is not available in the United States yet, but it will reach the country eventually. In the meantime, the YouTube team behind PDriveTV decided to see how fast the new version is. Spoiler: very fast!
The Raptor in the video is an Australian spec that comes equipped with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 making 397 PS (392 hp / 292 kW). For perspective, emission regulations in Europe cap the output of the Ranger Raptor there at 288 PS (284 hp / 212 kW).
Watch the video for a detailed breakdown of multiple launch attempts. The best 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time was 5.79 seconds – no small feat for a truck weighing 2,422 kilograms (5,340 pounds) and shod in all-terrain tires.
