Forget about supercars – it's time for a pick-up truck drag race!!
We have actually got our hands on the new Ford Ranger Raptor, and it's going head-to-head versus 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 out to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at simply under 2,300 kg. If you're looking to pick up this specific design, it'll set you back around ₤ 57,000.
Together with it we have the Ford. It has the exact same size engine under the bonnet as the Amarok, and it puts down 292hp and 491Nm. Its power is also sent to all 4 wheels via a 10-speed transmission, however it's both a little heavier and more pricey than the VW, can be found in at 2,454 kg and ₤ 59,500 respectively.
Finally we have the Toyota. It's loading a 2.8-litre 4 cylinder turbo Diesel motor under the bonnet, which can produce 204hp and 500Nm. It's also equipped with four wheel drive, although the gearbox is just a 6-speed automated! It's the lightest car here though, tipping the scales at 2,125 kg, and it's also the most affordable, being available in at ₤ 48,600.
So will it be a simple win for the Ford? Or could the Amarok or Hilux nab it? There's just one method to find out … LET'S RACE!
