Is this low-budget Raptor legit or just a Ranger with dreams?

That front end looks like it ran into a bee and found out it’s allergic.

I’ve seen a similar truck for sale in Sacramento. Could be its twin.

This one’s local to me, so maybe they’re multiplying.

I could like it if it were done properly. This isn’t one of those times.

Looks like someone stuck F-150 parts onto a Ranger. It fits, but it’s still weird.

Probably just a body kit they sell. Fits surprisingly well.

They tried putting a body kit on, but it’s just awful.

The wheels are the least of the issues here.

Doesn’t look like it was built on a cheap budget either.

A pre-pre-runner maybe?

It’s basically a pre-runner, and honestly, I kinda like it.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d drive it. Trophy truck looks with daily driver comfort? Sounds awesome.

This low-budget Raptor feels more like low-effort to me.

It probably took a lot of effort to do this to a Ranger.

Honestly, I’d rather just have the Ranger. The Raptor is like the Tapout shirt of trucks.

If Ford made a crazy Raptor-style Ranger built for mayhem, it could be cool. But this? This sucks.

Ford had a prototype SVT Ranger with a 5.0 Cobra engine.

They should’ve made it. Even a Ranger with a Coyote engine would be amazing.

Ford actually makes a Ranger Raptor here in Europe. It’s got a 2L diesel engine with 213 horsepower.

Now that’s cool!

Almost cool, but not quite there.
