My NEW iPhone grenade'd, luckily when I got off the plane returning from Europe last week.
So,, no pix by us.

BUT:
What really caught the wife and I off guard was walking around Liverpool and Portsmouth England and Cork Ireland was not the usual Peugeots and Vauxhalls parked and running up and down the streets and taxis,, but the amount of right hand drive Ford ranger Raptors and full size Raptors we saw.

Super popular there.

We talked to one owner who owns a pub we had lunch at and he mentioned the Right had drive Broncos are available but are $110.000 USD + fees so they are rotting on the lots.
 
I think they are cool, I've always liked Mid-Sized Trucks. Since Toyotas are ridiculously priced, the Chevy, GMC and Ford Mid-sized trucks are better options IMHO for a young guy in college, etc.

 
I was in Australia for a couple of weeks last month visiting family - The Ranger Raptor is crazy popular there. They love them - many of the streets aren't big car / truck friendly and the Ranger Raptor works great without being too big.
 
Speaking of Raptors: saw one disco-lifted to the moon on the way home from the airport yesterday. But... why?!?!
 
I'm on my second one now and love them. I had a 2013 Roush with a supercharged 6.2 and now have a 2024 with the v6. My new one got smashed last month after a 96 year old lady turned in front of me. It only had 3k miles on it. I'm going after deprecated value and may end up getting a Raptor R after I figure out how much I get in deprecated value and what I can sell it for.

The step son had a bad battery in his wifes car. Told him to grab the Raptor for the day. He grew testicles and said "Can I drive it all weekend?" How do you say no to a kid who has testosterone growing in his beard? Peace
