Overview
The 2025 Ranger Raptor is the halo version of the Ranger, built for fast desert runs and rugged trails while still handling daily duty. It pairs a 3.0 litre twin turbo petrol V6 with a 10 speed automatic and a full time capable 4WD system with selectable modes. Fox adaptive dampers, all terrain tyres, and upgraded brakes make it a serious performance truck. For local buyers, the mix of ground clearance, strong towing, and tough suspension suits estate roads, mountain tracks, and coastal sand, while the wide body and thirsty V6 will need some planning in crowded towns and at the pump.

4.5
out of 5
The Ranger Raptor sets a very clear brief. It is a midsize pickup that prioritises high speed control on rough ground, precise steering, and a cabin that feels modern rather than agricultural. In that mission it excels. The twin turbo V6 brings instant response and a strong mid range, and the 10 speed gearbox keeps the engine in its sweet spot when you push through long climbs or soft sand. The Fox dampers are the star, absorbing corrugations and whoops with far more authority than a standard leaf spring pickup, which means you can carry speed where others must slow. For daily life, visibility is good, the seats are supportive, and the screen layout is simple enough after a short learning curve. The trade offs are predictable. The wide stance and big tyres need care on narrow lanes and in older car parks. Real world fuel economy is not friendly to a long Colombo commute. Tyres and consumables are expensive, and the hardware is arguably overkill if your usage is mostly city and occasional highway. For buyers who actually travel to sites on broken estate roads, who explore the backcountry on weekends, or who want a truck that can tow confidently while feeling planted, the value begins to make sense. It is not the cheapest way into a pickup, but it is one of the most capable and confidence inspiring trucks you can buy, with a character that feels special every time you start it.
