Don't confuse R5 and Raptor they are different things.
Raptor, from what I understand, will be an all-new body structure on a reworked AWD current (AU-AV(Barra)) Falcon platform.
Competing vehicles would include Pajero, Prado, Challenger while also taking some sales away from the heavyweight Cruiser & Patrol owners who finally realise they don't need a truck as well as the smaller CRV, Forester buyers who would like something bigger and more powerful. Should also bite into the people mover market.
R5 was a dual cab ute concept vehicle indicating what might be possible by marrying the Falcon Ute with the Raptor platfom. If it goes ahead would compete with Hilux, Rodeo, Triton etc.
