They have the awesome F150 Raptor, which is a F150 beefed up, the Raptor I'm referring to is the new Ranger Raptor, which is a Ranger that has been given some of the F150 Raptors' steroids.
Ford also make the Everest which is an SUV version of the Ranger pickup. They are not available in Europe either, they are sold in Asia and Australian markets AFAIK I'd love to see a Raptor version of that too.

It is the Ranger Raptor I refer to. Price wise I heard the salesman said about USD50k. So, it's for premium market. Many Everests cruising around in my town.

Wow only $50k for a Ranger Raptor! That's very good. I heard it would be priced similarly to the VW Amorak Adventure so if it does launch in Ireland it would be close to US$ 70K. Cars are so expensive here.

Talk about the drive - recently we had a UK couple driving Land Rover Forward Control in Borneo. A young couple want to travel the world with their FC. Love that truck.

Had to look up what a Forward Control was, they are cool.

Coworker looked at f150 Raptors. Said they are carrying a $10k markup here in southern California, and even without markup the base model is about $50k.

Very nice! Thinking about grabbing a Tacoma next year but want to wait until the Ranger arrives to the US.

Truck bros? What does that even mean? And how would that remotely fit the description for a mid size truck like the Raptor?

Since we’re talking trucks, here’s the latest pic of mine.

Got talked into getting a 3-row a couple yrs back by my soon-to-be ex-wife. Not too many body on frame w/3rd row. Still wish I had bought a Taco like I wanted, but I wouldn't be able to stash my fishing poles against the headliner like I do with the Pathfinder Image

I love that Nissan and Toyota make midsize body on frame SUVs. I think they may be the only ones now. Even the Explorer is unibody these days.

Nissan flipflops on that for some reason. The R50 was unibody, the R51 (like mine) went back to proper frame, and now the R52 (2013 and up) is back on unibody. And now that the Xtrerra is no more, they have nothing to offer for the offroad crowd in a SUV

Where I live there are a lot of kids with wealthy parents who buy their kids loaded trucks i.e. raptors, Tacoma's, lifted rangers. They drive around thinking that they are the new Ken Block and lift their trucks ridiculously, to the point where they can't even carry anything in the bed or tow anything. If you own a truck these smoothbrains will come up to you as if you have anything in common. Once they realize you use your truck as a truck and not a spring-loaded set of wheels they think you're a "loser".

They're pretty easy to spot:
1) Flat-Brim cap
2) Drinks Monster Energy
3) Has Monster Energy Sticker
4) Has "Hoonigan" Sticker
5) 12" front lift kit
6) Off-Road Tires while only driving on City/Highway
7) Talks like an exaggerated surfer stereotype

Oh yeah that’s true. I forgot about the unibody version. I’ve driven the later unibody version a few years ago and somehow forgot about it I guess. That just leaves the 4Runner as the only one then.

I fit 2, 3, and 4, but I’m against stickers on my truck so I wouldn’t ever put them on. :lol:

I rented a 2018 Pathfinder recently. It was softer than the Honda Odyssey I used to drive. Unfortunate what they did to them.
