That's the same price as the new JL Wranglers. Ranger Rapter or Wrangle Rubicon would be a tough choice I'll never have to worry about Laughing 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Not for me, looks a bit plastic, perhaps if you claim the Vat back it seems a better deal? 2015 HT XS 90

I was disappointed to find they don’t do a 6 cylinder Wrangler

They should just add the F150 as well, but bigger than that wouldn't really work here. Laughing Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Raptor - no thanks. I'll stick with my standard 3.2 auto double cab which has been trouble free since I bought it new a couple of years ago. Pity I couldn't say the same about my last new Defender, and the one prior to that and so on. 40+ years of Land Rover ownership - shame it had to end that way. Steve.

I got this comment deleted from Chris Harris's Instagram, obviously not PC.

But it's just another 'puff truck'.

The best of them though Laughing

I have to say that I do like it, but the price, which with VAT will be around £50k, is a bit off-putting. It also has a rather small load-bed and a limited payload.

Anyone know what the max towed weight is?

In my mind a F-150 Raptor would be a more useful truck being bigger, but I doubt that we'll get that in the UK. I wonder when someone will produce the Ranger equivalent of the Hennessy F-150 Velociraptor.

In many ways the Rivian double-cab pickup is more interesting, and a lot quicker as well.

From what I read it is less than the 3.5t a standard facelift Ranger [post 2016] will legally tow.

The Raptor is just not viable for business use. Steve.

Hello Wayne, long time no interact, hope you and yours are well. Is your agent taking bookings for next year's panto appearances yet? Wink Steve.
