An plasterer because i would love one

**Raptor** · 23-02-2010, 10:56 AM

I would love to see an Aussie equivalent

Based on a FG RTV, sadly that doesn't exist

:

Then have FPV show some testicular fortitude and go to town on it, sadly also not likely to ever happen

:

Oh well, I can still dream

If this Global Ford idea had any real substance to it, that thing would be sold here.

So they get these:

And we get these:

How is this fair!!!

If they brought them over here it would be awesome! But somehow I doubt that will ever happen... :(

04redxr8 · 24-02-2010, 09:49 PM

^^^ agreed. Even if Ford did bring it over here and try pricing it to be affordable, our Government would tax the hell out of it, making it unaffordable.

Franco Cozzo · 24-02-2010, 09:50 PM

I love the big FORD lettering on the front of the F150.

GTWHOA · 24-02-2010, 09:54 PM

Its good at doing jumps but how would it go in the bush with the ifs??

for most off roading ifs is fine if you have decent travel, a solid front will always be better, but then the road manners turn completely to crap, and i doubt it would get any sort of ancap rating with a solid front axle.

BAxtER · 25-02-2010, 12:37 PM

im in love! A very nice vehicle indeed.

**DJR-351** · 25-02-2010, 05:20 PM

Looks nice, although i would like to see it in the sand dune's at Lancelin (WA)...

If it's anything like my brothers F-150 I will spend all day pulling it out with my 10 year old Landcruiser, these things need tracks not tyres in the soft stuff....

Stoney! · 25-02-2010, 05:43 PM

Looks to American, but then so do some of the one tonners we got now. But still don't like it.... even the up-coming class smashing VW Amarok looks too american at the rear...

Stoney!

Wheel travel and articulation are two different things in the air the wheels drop nicely no different than putting it up on a hoist. I'd like to see a video to prove me wrong. From that pic I can see quiet small fron cv joints no tie rod or drag link which leads me to believe it has rack and pinion p/s. Has pretty low rear shock mounts would get snagged pretty soon.

Probably because it is American, and pretty much only sold there.

1TUFFUTE · 16-01-2012, 03:07 AM

cant remember who but they are racing one of these in the finke(sorry but whatever the race is called..it alludes me atm)but the same race that lowndes is racing the holden rodeo in...for his 3rd time i think...that will be one to keep an eye out for..theyre in the same class too...

oh and if you have forza 4 the new raptor is in that too...and the ford escort1800

if you really want to see what its capable off...dont bag it...go and get your googgly eyes on on youtube...some really good offroad vids that show this thing destroying nearly antthing you can imagine beside maybe serious rock climbing

Booka · 27-02-2012, 02:47 AM

There was one of these at the geelong all ford day.... Only one word i know can discribe this ute SEXONWHEELS

AUIIISR · 27-02-2012, 11:06 PM

I do see an F-150 Raptor getting around converted to RHD. I guess it isn't a cheap process having them converted.

Not much change outta 150g

Cheese3 · 28-02-2012, 08:26 AM

with the price they are, and importing and a top conversion cost like $40k roughly. Having them priced at $150k in AUS they are making 1/3 profit. Your better off doing it yourself.

MAGPIE · 28-02-2012, 08:47 AM

Here is one snapped at Akl airport, dwarfs the XR8 next to it...

Franco Cozzo · 28-02-2012, 06:12 PM

I like the new dual cab version better.

J.Molloy · 15-05-2012, 03:49 PM

Just saw one of these in red about an hour out of Perth,
Looks like an absolute weapon, many of these getting around aus now??

drpopper · 15-05-2012, 04:52 PM

Just saw a new F150 today (a platinum not a Raptor) in Mornington I talked to the owner and he said it cost him about $135k with the RHD conversion and he got it new from a place over in Melton. He said they had a few of them ? So someones importing them.

**DJM83** · 15-05-2012, 05:50 PM

Spotted a silver raptor today in Brisbane

Melton Suzuki is a Ford F series dealer, they've got plenty new ones in their yard.

VDC does all the conversions down here in Victoria.
