Spyder for me! And I hate convertibles

Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
I like it. Shame they won't offer a petrol though. The 2.3 ecoboost and a more sensible gearbox would probably be fun.

Looks cool!

Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
Aye, I guess they don't want to put the V6 in it because it would step on the big Raptor's toes but I can't see any good reason for not having the 2.3 as an option.

Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
Surely the big raptor only sells in big countries anyway? I guess the reality of pick ups in this country is more about looking the part more than being genuinely fast (whilst doing decent mpg).
My Navara was no faster and I still enjoyed it.
Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
Aye, makes me wonder if people will actually spend £50k on one or keep buying Wildtraks with stupid bodykits.

Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
Yeah the farmer wanted one of these or an Isuzu pick up which looked similar to the raptor but they can’t carry much and the insurance group made them pretty pointless for him.
The Raptor is odd, if they put a decent engine in I’m sure many more people would buy them - look at the X Class. I see 10 a day in London all driven by young men and women who have never touched a hammer. And that’s a rebadged overpriced Navara!

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
A mate of mine is getting rid of his X-Class as he's sick of people taking the piss out him and asking about his Navara
Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
There’s a Brabus X Class owned by some terrible person nearby me. I was first intrigued if it had a saucy engine. But nope you pay Brabus £8000 to get a remap and some wheels. 200 bhp and 0-60 in 11.5. Mercedes - the best or nothing. This is definitely the latter.

Ford Raptor is #1 selling vehicle in New Zealand - seeing heaps and heaps of these everywhere, ours come with the Ecoboost. I quite fancy a go after taking my mate's normal Ranger into forests...
Also FYI, #2 selling car in NZ is a Hilux, #3 is normally Mitsubishi Triton (but this last period it's the new Corolla due to fleet sales).
I'd say less than 5% of them ever go offroad!

A bit light on details by HCOC standard but a surprise guest.
Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
415bhp, drives like a Mitsubishi EVO, sounds like an impressive bit of kit.
Re: H.C.O.C (Henry Catchpole on Carfection)
The price is A LOT. And the Max Power-looking spoiler is just awful.
