There are more pickups available than ever. Ford brought the Ranger back to the US, and we’ll receive the potent Ranger Raptor, which is available worldwide. A new video has it competing against a tuned Volkswagen Amarok and a tuned Mercedes-Benz X-Class in a series of drag races.
The two tuned pickups pack 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engines. The VW Amarok makes 340 horsepower and 775 Newton-meters (571 pound-feet) of torque. The Mercedes X-Class is a tad less potent, pumping out 300 hp and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of twist.
