DTUK have launched their tuning box: +60PS and +55NM

That is sad- EU spec trucks make as much power in the engine as the rest of the world truck puts down at the wheels.

The Dyno numbers are interesting - at the wheel they seem to almost the same as the Aus spec truck Car Expert Tested which put out 274HP and 535NM at the wheels.

I have had my Ranger Raptor for coming up on 2 months now with 1700 miles on the clock. Something has existed since it was new and that is what I can only describe as a very slight rough idle. Periodically when idling you get an unusual vibration through the engine which can be felt in the...

I guess this is the future - I'm guessing the hybrid capabilities are becoming more popular to pass these regulations. The UK hasn't make the Euro 6.2 emission standards law but I believe the Euro 6 ones are - probably doesn't make sense to have UK specific Euro 6 tune. The Chief Engineer...

Here are my thoughts after a week with the Raptor. 1. I'm Impressed with the build quality. Everything is solid - no squeaks or rattles and everything fits nicely. It's as good as my previous BMW and better than my wife's MK7 VW Golf. Things that your touch in the cabin is of nice quality...

I always liked pickup trucks but pretty much all of them in the UK are very commercially orientated compared to the SUV counterparts. The 6G ranger is the first one that comes with all the bells and whistles and means I didn't have to sacrifice anything by choosing it (tech, safety, comfort...

Can anyone confirm if their keyless entry works? Mine does not and the option to enable it is missing from the settings menu. I've seen some reports that it may be due to a security issue with the keys and a recall is to happen in Q3/Q4 to replace the keys before it'll be re-enabled.

Yes I agree it is very confusing. My assumption is that Ford didn't want to spend the budget to optimise for the EU emissions targets because the 2.3L engine makes 400BHP in the Focus RS in the EU and meets the targets. Other manufactures can do more as well and meet the targets: VW Golf R...

Thank you for this tip. I spent all morning calling around trying to get insurance for the collection on Monday. Aviva were the only ones to offer cover as they other providers couldn't find the details of the vehicle.

I was taking a look at the Ford UK website and noticed they updated the brochure for the upcoming diesel variant of the raptor - it seems to be missing many of the new features of the petrol model (comparison attached). Pretty shocking considering the list price is only £2k cheaper than the...

Here is a couple I took today at the dealer when I was in signing the paperwork. Collecting it lunchtime Monday so I'll upload a few better pictures then.

Update from my dealer today - should be taking delivery of the vehicle on the week of February 20th

NI plates have a slightly different format (ABC 1234) but don't have an age identifier on them. If it did I would definitely wait until March.

It's a family run franchised dealer - Desmond Motors.

Got a call from my dealer indicating my Raptor is also in Southampton! Still getting a quote of the second week of February due to rail strikes and backlogs on moving vehicles to Northern Ireland but they said it may come in quicker.

A GR Yaris is quite the runaround! Amazing little car. This is super interesting. Unfortunately this is likely one of those open ended things where it'll be difficult to put a timeframe on resolution. I'm from Northern Ireland where we're still in the EU customs union so in theory the car...

Some manufacturers were shipping cars closer to delivery locations without certain electronic parts and then completing the fitting closer to the customer to prevent build-up at manufacturing sites when waiting for semiconductors. Wonder if this is what is happening to your truck? I never got...

I will assume this means my February date has also been moved to March.

It's a franchise dealer. I thought the same thing about Thailand/SA but he did pause me to search for it and then confirmed that it was finished production in Thailand and left the port in Thailand at the end of last week. Maybe he was looking at someone else's raptor on the tracker!! Or maybe...
