Forget about supercars - it’s time for a pick-up truck drag race!!

We’ve got our hands on the new Ford Ranger Raptor, and it’s going head-to-head against 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 to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at just under 2,300kg. If you’re looking to pick up this exact model, it’ll set you back around £57,000.

Alongside it we have the Ford. It has the same size engine under the bonnet as the Amarok, and it puts down 292hp and 491Nm. Its power is also sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed gearbox, but it’s both slightly heavier and more expensive than the VW, coming in at 2,454kg and £59,500 respectively.

Finally we have the Toyota. It’s packing a 2.8-litre 4 cylinder turbo Diesel engine under the bonnet, which can produce 204hp and 500Nm. It’s also equipped with four wheel drive, although the gearbox is only a 6-speed automatic! It’s the lightest car here though, tipping the scales at 2,125kg, and it’s also the cheapest, coming in at £48,600.

So will it be an easy win for the Ford? Or could the Amarok or Hilux snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
