This man decided to test out the Ford Ranger Raptor and see just how powerful it was compared to the famed Ford F-150.

The F-150 was America’s best selling vehicle until this year, when it was suddenly dethroned.

The beloved F-150 has a starting price of $39,000, while the Ford Ranger Raptor starts at $57,000.

So, this man wants to see exactly what you get if you decide to invest a bit more for the Ranger Raptor.

Ford is known for producing powerhouses that can tear up off-road tracks as easily as they do highways.

In fact one car salesman revealed that for him the F-150 Raptor was indeed ‘king’.

But after recent events of the F150 being dethroned as America’s top-selling vehicle, perhaps its little brother will move higher up the ranks.

Meet the Ranger Raptor

If its beasty exterior wasn’t enough to convince you, maybe its motto will?

According to Ford itself, the Ranger Raptor is ‘built to perform. Designed to conquer’.

Big promises – but what is it really like when it gets to the nitty gritty?

Well this man wanted to find out.

This nifty ride will set you back $57,000 and appearance-wise, could be the F-150’s twin.

“This is basically the same as a big Raptor except smaller,” @forrestsautoreviewsofficial explained:

He took his viewers on a tour of the vehicle, bolts and all.

He showed off the 33-inch wheels and recovery hooks as well as front grille.

“In the back, you get a five-foot bed with built-in power,” he said before pointing out it also came with an all-important bottle opener.

In the cabin, comparisons with the F-150 continued.

The display featured CarPlay and six auxiliary switches.

“The inside feels like a raptor. If you need grip, you get four-wheel drive, if I want to have fun I can switch to two-wheel drive,” he said.

The truck also came with some quirky extras, including your very own fry holder adorning a symbol of – you guessed it – fries.
