Imagine this: you have just been told Ford Ranger Raptor ready to collect after months of waiting.
Then when you go to get it, you discover the shopkeeper rolled it while ‘drifting’ for ‘grams’.
That’s what happened in South Africa, according to car magazine.
Based on car magazine, the salesman was taking someone for a fun outing on the farmland when they came across a bumpy road while driving flexibly. This causes the vehicle to roll over before re-entering the ground.
The end result is an awkward phone call to the customer telling them their new car has some pre-delivery issues that need to be resolved.
Not like usual forest ranger range, even with stability control off, rollover protection is active.
That means if the car gets into a situation where the high center of gravity is likely to cause it to roll over, the stability control system will brake each wheel to keep it on deck.
The Raptor, on the other hand, eliminates this when stability control is completely disabled – which is essential to the vehicle’s ability at speed and any unwanted interference could inadvertently upset the vehicle. the vehicle’s trajectory.
Not a big deal for a professional driver, but a big deal for someone who doesn’t really know what they’re doing.
