Ford Ranger Raptor, which we met before its new generation, helped us to determine the direction of our expectations for the next model.
There are some models in automobile history that have had the privilege of setting the limits themselves. When we wrap our calendars up to the 80s, we can see the Audi Quattro S1 as a name that completely changes the balance in motor sports and shapes the organization in the next process. This example of change can sometimes take place on the design side, sometimes on the hardware side, and sometimes on the technical side. Change is an inevitable gift brought by time. Those who use it well have managed to record their names as “reference points”.
The “Raptor” badge, which is one of the special pieces Ford has given to the automobile world, has been playing a successful role for more than 10 years in terms of being the reference we just mentioned. The driving opportunity, which we have been waiting for a long time, has finally come true with the model that was reflected in the successful pickup model Ranger in 2019 and has been on sale for a while in Turkey lists. Since the Ford Ranger Raptor was a non-standard model, it brought some freedoms with it. We continue to need to check the weather conditions for the models that we will come together for testing due to the season we are in. From the first moment I saw our phone ring for Raptor’s program, I knew deep down that my speech in the freedom of not thinking about the weather conditions would actually lead us to an adventure where the limits would be pushed and a lot of mud. Since the Raptor in question is a model outside of tradition, it was necessary to set a course outside of tradition.
