  TECHNICAL LAYOUT
  Raptor gives Ford’s twin-turbo diesel engine its debut and mates it with a 10-speed
  automatic transmission. It retains the ladder-frame chassis of the standard Ranger
  with a steel body atop, albeit with a strengthened front axle and heavily revised rear
  axle, which now uses coil springs instead of leaf springs. Test weight matches Ford’s
  claim of 2510kg almost exactly, with the distribution biased front to rear 53:47.

  an unregistered Raptor shouldn’t prove
  problematic. With a deposit of £11,590, Ford
  quotes a deal that would put the Ranger Raptor’s
  substantial dimensions on your driveway for

  a balloon payment of £16,350.
