The all-new Ford Ranger has been eagerly anticipated for a long time.
And of course, this is especially true of the high-performance Raptor version.
So the good news is that this month in 4x4, that’s exactly what we’ve got. We spent a vastly entertaining day behind the wheel of the new V6-engined Raptor on an event which included a session of flat-out off-roading – and of all the 4x4s we’re ever experienced, it’s up there with the very best as a driving machine.
Elsewhere in this issue, we’ve got a quartet of 70-Series Land Cruisers – plus three outstanding examples of a Defender 90, a Suzuki LJ and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Think air suspension, a unique restification project and a starring role on Car SOS… this one’s action-packed and no mistake.
Hammering your way around a frozen track in the Arctic is quite action-packed, too. You’d want a good, rugged off-roader for that… so we’ve got the story of a group doing it in Porsches. No, not Cayennes.
But they still held on like glue.
