The Ford Ranger Raptor is the “rally car” that I’ve always wanted for the Philippines. Even if trucks are the very antithesis of the burgeoning EV/Hybrid/Alternative Fuel industry, which I have a personal stake in as a proud member of the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (eVAP I absolutely covet the Ford Ranger Raptor. Then just when I couldn’t be further impressed, I got the opportunity to throw a new gauntlet of extreme exercises and challenges at the Ford Ranger Raptor again a year later in 2019, this time in Upington, Northern Cape Kalahari, Goera Pan, South Africa! Then finally in 2020 back in the archipelago with this latest test. Over two years have passed but it feels like a whole lifetime ago! Several months after that incredible experience, I got to test the freshly imported Philippine-spec version to comprehensively review and reconfirm how astonishing the Ranger Raptor was again under our unique driving environment. So much has happened since my very first time behind the steering wheel of the multi-award-winning Ford Ranger Raptor back in July 2018 in Darwin at the Tipperary Station, Australia.
