Forget about supercars - it’s time for a pick-up truck drag race!!
We’ve got our hands on the new Ford Ranger Raptor, and it’s going head-to-head against the new VW Amarok and Toyota GR Sport Hilux!
So let’s see how these three compare. Starting with the Amarok, it’s powered by a 3-litre V6 turbo diesel engine that can produce 240hp and 600Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at just under 2,300kg. If you’re looking to pick up this exact model, it’ll set you back around £57,000.
Alongside it we have the Ford. It has the same size engine under the bonnet as the Amarok, and it puts down 292hp and 491Nm. Its power is also sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed gearbox, but it’s both slightly heavier and more expensive than the VW, coming in at 2,454kg and £59,500 respectively.
Finally we have the Toyota. It’s packing a 2.8-litre 4 cylinder turbo Diesel engine under the bonnet, which can produce 204hp and 500Nm. It’s also equipped with four wheel drive, although the gearbox is only a 6-speed automatic! It’s the lightest car here though, tipping the scales at 2,125kg, and it’s also the cheapest, coming in at £48,600.
So will it be an easy win for the Ford? Or could the Amarok or Hilux snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Raptor is king. Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 our Raptor has 392hp though. Big increase over the EU version.

The Hilux did quite well with standard 2.8 engine wow ,I imagine the V6

I just love the mix of drivers on Carwow. Yanni, Racing Driver Sam, and Nick! Matthew you need to start a show where you 4 review cars together.

Excelente comparativo, só é pena não terem optado pela ford ranger raptor a diesel 👍🏻.
-
Should have the previous Amarok V6 TDi in here aswell just to show how backwards mechanically the new one is.

As a 2023 Raptor owner: 1. This is the neutered version of the Raptor for the EU: 292 hp. and 460Nm. The normal Raptor version for the rest of the world is 405hp. and 580Nm. This motor can make up to 452 hp. and 580 Nm ... imagine! 2. On this test is the first Raptor series for 2022. For 2023 Ford fixed the brakes and from 39m-100km/h they are now around 36m-100km/h.

That raptor is awesome, would definitely be my pick of the three!
