VA15205 Corgi Vanguards Ford Ranger Raptor, Conquer Grey

New release - pre-orders invited - expected during 1st Quarter 2026. preauthkernow

The rally-inspired Ford Ranger Raptor Special Edition (SE) was launched in late 2021 for the 2022 model year and was something of a last hurrah for the 4-cylinder Raptor, which had originally appeared in 2019. The SE was made in limited numbers to ensure exclusivity and cost £54,086, a modest £900 more than a regular Raptor. 

This made it a bargain because the extra cost got the lucky buyers front-to-rear racing stripes, 17-inch black alloy wheels fitted with huge 33-inch tyres, red recovery hooks and jazzier interior trim. It does, however, share the standard Raptor’s impressive 10-speed automatic transmission, towering 283mm ground clearance and Fox Position Sensitive Damping (PSD).

The SE’s eye-catching design also included LED headlights, a matte black grille and door handles. The integrated black sports hoop and lockable Mountain Top roller shutter allowed owners to secure goods in the load bay and added to its showroom appeal. 

Its off-road ability was very impressive, but it performed on tarmac too and was equipped with intelligent speed assistance, a lane keeping aid, and a collision mitigation system; features which helped it to achieve the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. 

It had a payload rating of 620kgs, lower than the more workmanlike vehicles in the Ranger lineup, and as a result was not taxed as a commercial. It was, however, aimed at the leisure market where school-run street cred trumps load capacity.

Our die-cast model brings this iconic vehicle to life in 1:43 scale - a wonderful addition to any Vanguards collection.
