Default Re: Ranger Raptor filmed testing in the US

The other thing is that in our market a lot of the Dual Cabs are bought via Companies and or through what ever way they claim them as a tax deduction hence why the sales of them are sky high.

I don't really understand why the USA has a different Ranger to the rest of the world.
The whole Ranger, Everest, Bronco thing seems like they are doing everything twice even though some of it is shared.

Bean Counters at Ford will say that a EcoBoost V6 has similar power to a V8, is lighter, handles better and probably uses less fuel but they will never learn. Did it work well for them with the F150 Raptor?

Car makers always charge a premium for a diesel engine over a petrol one so a V8 could be sold at the same price as a V6 Turbo Diesel if made on the production line and they would still make good coin.
