2019 Ford Ranger Raptor Testing (Video)

[Jim Oaks]

​

They tested this in the California desert. Why would they test it here, if they have no intention to eventually offer it here?

Suppose the first white truck is the same RH drive possibly white one that was spotted headed west thru Oklahoma a few months ago? Sure looks like it.

Why RH drive? And why Detroit to Cali rather than some port of entry to Cali... or then why not just find a desert in Austrailia? All questions things are as they are if it isn't coming here.

Because it is winter in Australia at moment?

I don't think it gets below 50 usually in Australia even in the winter. Unless you were torture testing for hot weather, I don't know why you'd need to take it anywhere else.

If that is the case I would build an Australian Ranger in Australia and ship it to California to test rather than ship the truck in pieces to be assembled in Detroit as a LH drive truck and then shipped to California.
