The Ford Ranger Raptor Thread

Now for the road test! 2 000km from Namib dunes to Joburg in new Ford Ranger Raptor

We had had our fun in the Namib dunes for two days in the new Ford Ranger Raptor but it was time to turn its large and impressive front end towards Joburg and head home.

Ahead of us lay just under 2 000 kilometres of road tripping and the best part was that more than 60 percent of it would be on gravel roads.

If you’ve ever been to Namibia you’ll know that there’s an extensive network of these roads and according to Wikipedia they have 6 664 kilometres of tar and 25 710 kilometres of gravel connecting far flung towns, villages and farms.

And if you haven’t you’re probably thinking like a South African with visions of our national and local government in charge of maintenance.

Forget it, they are regularly repaired and scraped and when you enter towns there are signs proclaiming “roads scraped for prosperity”.

Is it just me or are there more raptors than std rangers floating around, I see about 3 raptors a day and maybe 2 or 3 std rangers a week.
