Ford responded to an internet troll with a strong statement against homophobia, creating a rainbow and glittery gold-wrapped truck that paraded the streets of Cologne, Germany to celebrate Pride Day.
"Very gay" is how one internet denizen described the new Ranger Raptor Special Edition pickup in a comment on a Ford Europe social media post. The company noticed and, in response, took the concept of a very gay Ranger Raptor and ran with it. According to Ford, the commenter wrote in response to the reveal, "Well... that's a cool car! -But that blue color is very Gay!! Hey Ford! Paint in BlackNGold or camo!"
The commenter sparked a comeback from Ford. On June 25, the company tweeted an animation of the Raptor in its rainbow livery in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
But then Ford went one step further and actually built a Ranger Raptor in said livery. Ford took the "black and gold" recommendation literally, wrapping the truck in the glitziest gold one can imagine. Over the gold, a rainbow swirls around the truck, ending with a pink heart on the tailgate.

Yeah. A godless rebellion all over the globe.
A world population ripe for the debut of the Antichrist.
Their “religion” is Globalism, “social justice” and radical environmentalism (even to the point of damaging the food supply).
The Four Horsemen are preparing to ride.
I noticed that there were not as many Raptors as there used to be. I figured it was because the T-REX Rams were so much better. It seems to align with the time frame of this advertisement so perhaps Ford’s competition had nothing to do with the demise of the Raptor. Ford, this Bud’s for you!

Never forget Henry Ford was a Nazi.
The Nazis had a strong homosexual “butch” contingent.
Ergo, this truck.
Sales of the Toyota Tundra just doubled
Raptors still sell out.
The Raptor R is better than a T-Rex
This is a european Ranger Raptor for Euro weenies. 2.3 whole Litre’s of pure muscle... not.
Not the same thing.

There is far more heterophobia than homophobia going on.
Absolutely! This is a war against straight white men and women.
Well, the shorting of A-B stock has worked out quite well. In addition to the blowing of billions chasing the EV mirage, what Ford has done with things like this truck shows that the shorting of Ford stock needs to be part of the portfolio too....
“Makes you think you should Dodge Ford.”
If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it.
Toyota? I’ll keep driving my hemi Ram.
Ford, along with most other large public entities, has the majority of its stock owned by “institutions”. This appears to be the source of a lot of the missteps with regard to “wokeness”. People who have money invested with these “woke” investment firms should be looking at alternatives if they wish to maximize the return on their investments. The left doesn’t have a clue about creating wealth, but they are very good at hijacking wealth created by others and using it as a weapon against their enemies and to promote their own agenda.
I didn't comply. And the honcho (who eventually became CFO) didn't like it.;-)
Very true! Outfits like BlackRock that assemble and sell ETF’s.
Does it come with a bed full of BUD LIGHT?...............
Heheh. And a full-sized poster of Dylan in a bubble bath.
I could just hear the conversation in the marketing department. “Theee both, the public would eat up the rainbow raptor and think itsth fabulous!
It handles getting rear ended faaaabulously.
