kwak250 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Hi so i have always loved the Toyota Hilux and still own a 4x4 Revo but i am starting to show an unhealthy interest in the new v6 Raptor I know Transam i am like you i love how reliable the Toyota's are and they have never let me down. This is the first time since i had a Ford Fiesta back in the uk that i am looking at a Ford.(and that was a rusty pile a sh7t before it went to the scapyard. Only concern i have is Ford have had many problems in the past but willing to take the chance Has anyone got the new V6 Raptor as i would love to know your thoughts?

Apparently there are a lot of back orders. Do you know which one is available in Thailand. Many different engines available. See one Thailand price at nearly 1,900,000 baht. I think I'll keep my Isuzu. ???? 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboozled Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I never quite understood the Ford Raptor. I know little about it but it's a tough looking truck. But on the side of the car it says it is a 2.2 liter engine, is that not correct? I couldn't ever imagine it had any power. Though it LOOKS like it has power, there's no replacement for displacement.

That's perhaps old school thinking, it's now a Turbo world, engines getting smaller replaced by one, two, or even a bi-turbo. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok for your reference the bi-turbo ranger's is two turbo that run sequentially.... Google tells me "staged" turbo's are more commonly known as compound turbo's.... Which neither the 2.0bi-turbo Ranger or the 3.0 twin turbo Raptor are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the fuel consumption figures a friend told me he was getting, a V6 Raptor would cost me approx Bt.15,000 a week..... just to get to and from my work !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro01 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) v6 3.0 sounds good - how heavy is it? It's 'only' 284hp - and the Germans are usually getting 380ish-hp out of that size engine.... BUT 0-100 in under 7 seconds - that car is going to be a hoot to drive. The stats are on this page: https://www.headlightmag.com/2022-08-18-acceleration-fuel-consumption-ford-ranger-raptor-v6/ 0-100 - 6.82 80-120 - 4.66 https://www.headlightmag.com/hlmwp/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Test-Ford-Ranger-Raptor-V6-08.jpg Certainly accelerates better than it's mates. I'd go for it on these stats - then you can blow away all those chipped out diesels with your squeaky clean gasoline. Even sounds like they made sure it sounds sporty too. Which is always nice....

Well if you want performance you have to pay for it. My bike at best does 22 kilos to 1 litre of petrol. My 1•9 Isuzu driving like a granny can do 20 + kilos to a litre.

Bit less around 14KPL now if I go to BKK as they have put the limit up to 120KPH on the outside lane. So I use it, does save around an hours driving time though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to build a low rider hilux with a compound turbo 2.8.... supposedly stock internals will take 60 pounds of boost before it kicks the legs out.
