Just returned from Fiji...6G Ranger already on the road (saw the new Raptor as well).

Just returned from my yearly trip to the islands....next gen Ranger is already out ...spotted plenty on the road. Also spotted a brand new Raptor but wasn't able to snap a photo (owner bought it for $160K Fijian dollars). Fiji also has the mid "Wild Track" edition that I spotted at a dealer's parking lot (sorry..couldn't snap a picture).

New body style does appear to be slightly longer/wider now that I've seen these in real life. Same gasoline engines (the old gen Rangers in Fiji are mostly diesel).

And my uncle's personal last gen diesel Raptor that I used as a rental. Totally worthy companion to handle the island backroads...

I see them in the Philippines as well. Also see the Everest here too.

My understanding is they are a few cm shorter but are, in fact, wider. Did you get to ride in one by chance?

I really wish they sold the Everest in the US. I like it so much more than the 4Runner.

^ Unfortunately, I couldnt get to ride one . I was mainly driving my Uncle's Raptor around .

Such a bummer US gets all the crap models from Ford while other international markets get the good stuff.....

I spotted several Ranger billboards in several parts of the island as well with the "Next Gen Ford Ranger now available in 3 trims". I hope their WildTrack trim returns to the US market in the form of a Tremor package in 2025!

PS: In Fiji, Ford Ranger is the highest selling mid size truck and Toyota Hilux (aka Tacoma) is a second.

From the Body Builder guide, the wheelbase is about 2 inches longer, but same overall length. The width is about 2 inches more. So that matches the press/articles.

Man even the white Ranger looks good, and I never like white vehicles. Thanks for the pics. Can’t wait to finally see the new Rangers on U.S. streets.

This is correct. 50mm longer wheelbase, 50mm wider and 1mm shorter overall.

I wish we would see the Everest here in the states. Its a great looking vehicle!

The non-raptor rangers would look so much better to me if they had that Everest bumper instead of that goofy H embossed one that looks like it’s wearing a knuckle bandage in the middle.

I'm really surprised they didn't do that because they did it for the Chinese market Rangers.

North Americans seem to forget that the rest of the entire world already has the RA Ranger. They're currently one of the best selling cars in many countries.

I speculate most people on this forum know that.

I don’t think anyone needs to forget that to wish it wasn’t ugly to them. I have thought it was ugly TO ME since it was revealed for the ROW.

Hi, just catching up on this thread. I live part year in Fiji and part in the UK. I tried to source one in Australia and New Zealand for my use in Fiji but they are fairly expensive and need to be pre-ordered and nor was I willing to pay Fiji $160,000!!!

I couldn't wait so I bought my Code Orange Raptor in the UK. I have now driven it 2,500 miles from new in April and I have loved every second. Unfortunately, the European versions are detuned by a 100hp to meet emissions regulations but it's still quick and does what it says on the can.
Although you have had to wait, the upside for you folks in North America is that you get the undiluted version and a nicer range of colours and, relatively speaking, it's not as expensive for you as it is elsewhere in the World.
