Ford South Africa thought it would be a good idea to showcase the new Ranger Raptor at SA’s premier motorsport event, the Knysna Simola Hillclimb.

We can certainly appreciate that Ford South Africa even considered entering their new Ranger Raptor into the Simola Hillclimb. It’s the kind of ballsy move you don’t often see from big car makers, but in this case, it definitely paid off.

The new 2023 Ranger Raptor was a fan favourite on the hill and was entertaining to watch and of course listen to, with that new V6 making a rather unique noise for a bakkie!

In the hands of long-time racer Anthony Taylor, the Raptor set decent times up the hill but the talk of the town was probably the biggest save ever seen at the Simola Hillclimb…you have to see it to believe it.
