For pick ups im a gmc guy not a fan of ford trucks except the raptor also lol if i hit my numbers in the lotto id go purchase a new sierra denali, ford raptor and tacoma limited, what a fleet that would be.
Mo_ Muscle351 It’s a v6 truck That ends up going $85k OTD. You should at least be getting a decent interior. Even a base cheap bmw has a much nicer interior.
Alex yeah your right but remember that your buying the raptor for the performance and looks. The base model Mercedes or bmw might have a nice interior but that’s it. BMWs and Mercedes even Audi engines are made out of plastic
I thought this would be a constructive review, basically you’re just a rich dude making annoying complaints about how your $75,000 truck isn’t nice enough....
@@francisprevel1 I'll agree about that, I own a Gen 1 and there is a big difference when in a Gen 2, but I will have to say... the justification in their price increase is garbage. However, I can appreciate it for what it is even though Ram's TRX project and Raptor Gen 3 look more promising.
TR13DGE 716 yes I agree. If anything the 1st gen is also more reliable with the 6.2 and longer lasting transmission. The first gen has just as good of an interior with the touch screen. I’m not hating on the gen 2, it’s just that they scam the buyers with numbers added to the price lol and they know people only want to lease or finance for just a couple years so they don’t care about longevity of the trucks.
Jorge Alvarez You can buy a new raptor for $60k now. Probably because everyone is complaining about it. People who just need a truck don’t buy a raptor. People who buy a raptor buy it because they think it’s cool.
you literally complained about almost everything except the color... the lights the interior the entire media system the plastic.. Dude its 2019, everything is plastic the doors the way it drives the fake nose.. what? fuel? bro you bought a truck lol... and spent 75k ???? please tell me why you bought this vehicle. You talk about loving the truck but.. ? I think your next video should be "The only thing i love about my truck"
I have a GMC 1500 and i gurantee you the shifting is much more smoother and better than this raptor. Furthermore, the interior is so crappy on the f150 raptor. Its not good quality plastic it feels plastic that you would see on an old honda go to the dealership and actually feel the texture mate. Peace
I’ve owned (1) 2010, (2) 2017, and (1) 2019 currently Raptors. Haha your video is a joke. When you start talk about the lights looking cheap makes me laugh. There is nothing poor quality on that truck. Go look at a Chevy, dodge, Toyota, and Nissan if you want poor finishes and cheap plastic. There is a reason everyone copies Ford and it’s not what you waste 15 minutes talking about. We in the raptor community would like you to consider trading back to the brand you came from as you don’t represent us well.

You complain too much. I own a 2018 raptor. Plus I’ll guarantee you didn’t do your homework. From all that whining and complaining you do sell the truck and let someone else who actually wants it and appreciates it have it.
I know you have a RUclips channel so you have to think of things to make videos about but you bought the raptor you wrapped it up in orange now you make a video about the crappy plastic in the interior you knew that when you bought it that’s kind of crappy of you
Why did you buy this truck? All the things you complained about are the things you check before you purchase the truck especially at that price. P.s ford in my opinion don’t really have nice accents. The cost of a raptor F150 in Aussie is about $185,000 aud ($126000 US) right hand drive. And the quality workmanship really isn’t worth it. We have a mid size “ranger raptor” worth $54524.00 US don’t get me wrong it looks the part but the things your complaining about are the mai. reasons why a lot of Aussie won’t buy the raptor.

Buy a catch can and keep it moving. Some people can't even afford to buy a 75,000 dollar house and you complain about a dream truck. You are blessed man, be grateful for what you have.
Lol, you can ask the dealer to turn the noise off, i don't think it's even on in most of the 802a's. Or get forscan and a little laptop to use in the truck.... that way you can pretty much go through all the electronics turning everything you don't want off. This doods an idiot... buys a big off road truck, complains it isn't s class luxury, wraps it in that god awful colour, complains about the lights not being bright enough.. which they are (and you don't want to blind oncoming traffic, that be no bueno). If that thing even touches wet grass once i'll be surprised.
@@dodo19923 right! I just traded in my 2006 Toyota Tacoma for a raptor. The headlights in the raptor are like freaking daylight compared to my Toyota Tacoma. The lights are awesome!
Right?!!! I had just welcomed him to the Ford Family on his other video he posted about how it was his DREAM TRUCK three weeks ago and even praised how it was his dream truck and is already whining about it all. Go watch it! Pretty much everything he's whining about on this video, he praised on the other! Watch that video! Oh, and a week ago, he does a "Best Truck Ever," video. LOL! I've just unsubscribed.
It's because its in normal mode. The 10 speed skips gears 2 and 4 during normal acceleration, and does the same during the down shift. Ford has a video explaining that it's designed to do that to conserve fuel economy. Switch to sport mode or other modes makes the transmission cycle through all the gears. I have a 2020 Raptor as well and they told me when I hammer on it to switch to sport or baja mode. Other wise the normal mode will learn to hard shift during acceleration/deceleration in daily driving conditions.
Ben Hardy makes great observations. There's nothing wrong with seeing that the Ford Raptor is a base Ford F-150 made high class. The engineers at Ford did not care to engineer from a luxury standpoint up. They just take their base models and slap on upgrades. Less work more profit. Again, Ben makes a GREAT point on what's called VALUE. Is the Raptor really worth over $75000? No, I dont think so
So they ditched the V8 and replaced it with V6 turbo charged for fuel economy but what you showing us is the same bad fuel consumption or even worse with low reliability 😅 I love the raptor but the price and it's reliability issues especially with its gear concerned me. Maybe the Tremor with its 7.3 gasoline engine will sound and be better or with that unbelievable 6.7 liter diesel engine with its mind blowing torque 1050 of " 1423 Nm " which costs as much as this raptor costs and do more stuff except speed runs in desert and jumping but you can tow your house with you and do decent of roading 😅
Hey to each there own the Diesel is built for hauling/towing. Yes people do like V8 over V6 Turbos. In the end the Raptor with V6 Turbos, Unique looks over the stock trucks and off Road abilities is a beast truck
When Obama bailed out Dodge I sold my Dodge Hemi. I grew up with Dodge and it was the best change I ever made. Ford just fits together better no rattle and shakes like my dodge. That said the Hem is still a beast!
When you keep saying, “I love the truck”...but, but, but, but, tells me honestly that you are not happy or satisfied with the purchase. I have had many GM’s, Ford’s, but my 2020 Ram has been my most satisfying experience over my many years of driving!
@@mugs2169 Please man my trainee at work Leased a Rebel and I bought a Raptor. His looks truck looks like a paste on addition to a standard Ram. The Raptor is its own beats even he agrees wish I leased a Raptor.
I agree my Rebel 12 is way better on the interior , not even close , and the fact they pipe a fake exhaust sound to the interior speakers is like WTF lmao , dont get me wrong Ive had fords for years and my 14 was a good ride but wow im very happy I made the switch to Ram ..!!!
Ra Wright rebel is built poorly, even worse than the new raptors. New trucks are crap quality and just look the part. It has a lot of made in China parts and won’t last more than 100 000 miles while running strong without any issues. They are overpriced fake luxury vehicles. Real luxury vehicles are Lexus and Audi.
I own a Raptor. I also don't associate with other Ford owners. All points you made are extremely valid. I don't know anything about your other material, but the hater comments are from Ford/Raptor Fanboys and not people who can give an unbiased opinion. Truck rides nice, off-road capability is incredible, trans is horrible, stability at high speed over rough bumps is scary, interior is awful, paddles are a waste of time, exhaust note almost kept me from buying one. I feel almost exactly as you do. Really like the truck, but there are more than just a few things that are terrible. Your fuel mileage is mostly your fault. You can get 15mpg if you drive it normally. BTW, I'm sure you know you can turn the fake noise off, among other things, through Forscan.
@@BenHardyCars Haha! Clearly if you’re offloading the truck you can’t complain about getting 12 1/2 miles to the gallon. That’s actually outstanding gas mileage!
The raptor in ALL its glory is still an F150. Went to the gym, NEVER went to charm school. I’m a truck lover, but this is the pros vs cons of your rebel. I think your rebel is a better daily and having the raptor is status and testosterone ( grown ups Tonka toy) Which is better?
Guys give him a break I mean seriously he is clearly not a truck guy. There is not one real truck guy that would complain about the most off road worthy factory truck on the planet! On the planet! Wow, you are so lucky dude. I worked my butt off to get my 2018 King Ranch. Would kill for a raptor (not an orange one) a mans color. These youtube kids that are just looking for something to post and shame on all of us for watching it. Cheers all!
Gotta agree with most comments. This guy would find something wrong with a free Lamborghini Aventador. I'm a Wallstreet brat, and cant wait to pick up my raptor Friday. My only complaint is Christmas causing me to have to wait to pick it up.
I own a 2010 raptor with a 5.4... its reliable, great for rough terrain, and I use to pull my race car with it. It's wide , comfy as hell for a pickup, and I love everything about it except that the shocks don't last long, the motor isn't a 6.2, and my exhaust manifold gasket is failing. It's got 98k miles and has been a great vehicle. I like gen 2 Raptors but if I could do it over I would of bought a crew cab 6.2. Ford makes great products.
Well said!!! Transparent!! In Australia the same raptor would cost around $160000 to $170000. So you in America are lucky!!! Most people can't afford a standard RAM, SILVERADO, F150 , or anything like it in Australia!! Let alone an optioned model!!!
I don't know much about the 10 spd trannys but I've been told to give it time, they'll smooth out. It's a learning transmission. Gas, mine gets 10.5-11 mpg in the city so count yourself lucky. Lolol Premium fuel not a must for a turbo but is recommended. Love the orange/black. If I was getting a Gen2 Raptor, yours would be exactly how I'd order mine. Just wish I could've afforded something like this at 22!
Guys two stuff i agree on as a raptor owner: 1) The interior blends with the stiching is so cheap its actually worse than how you see it on camera 2) The shifting is very clunky and feels cheap and old
That entire 10 speed is just STUPID! If you’re driving under 45 miles an hour it is just constant, and I’m in constant shifting. Completely ridiculous! If I’m driving under 45 miles an hour in normal drive mode I just downshift on the left paddle shifter twice and turn the truck into an eight speed.
I got a brand new 2018 raptor last year and it did the same shifting thing but once I got a couple thousand miles on it it hasn’t done it since, so don’t worry about the shifting while it’s that new it’ll get a lot better
I heard you Ben! LOL! That is in reference to your comment about how you are dressed and how cold it is where you are. This why Ram has gained ground on Ford and GM for the attention to detail and the materials used. A beautiful sight Ben is happy tonight.. driving in a winter wonderland..LOL! You paid for that truck after seeing that price tag.
It’s a truck, hence not having padded arm rests on the doors. You need to clean those often. I have an outback that I use to access backcountry trails year round and the padded arm rests are destroyed by my dogs and are dirty as shit in the sticking. The plastic is a feature I appreciate
The truck is built for off-roading so that’s probably why they put hard plastic because no issues with mud or anything just wipe it off. You could take it to a place and have them alcantara everything. Places I’ve seen does dash boards for like 500 if you like alcantara I personally like it
Anyone with an F-150/Raptor, if you get the shift issue in low gears tell your dealer you want the software update to fix it. My 2017 did that about 1 out of every 10 times and it was aggravating. Guy in service at my dealer had one and said there is a software update they don't advertise but only install if someone tells them they are having this issue.
Love all the angry comments lol. People are so bitter that “you aren’t using the truck like a truck”, or “he cries like a girl because he’s honest” . Y’all gotta let that hurt go man. Sweet truck bro, and that’s from a Chevy/ram guy.
Axle Wrap and Wheel Hopping: SVC Off Road makes traction bars that help mitigate this, but also reportedly reduce ground clearance. KrazyHouseCustoms makes a Torque Arm that appears to almost completely eliminate it without reducing ground clearance and also includes an optional rear diff skid plate that looks bad ass. I have been eyeing it for my rig, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Here's a link to a video they did with the Torque arm installed: ruclips.net/video/zMLEi4M1ZUQ/видео.html Fuel economy: I noticed much better mileage on my raptor after a 4 or 5k miles. Also 4A mode does reduce overall MPG, which was the mode you had selected during your filming of MPG. I have just over 10k miles on my 19 Raptor 802A SuperCrew and I average 15-16mpg. I also only use 91, but don't know if that would play a part in my MPG. Either way, I agree with you I don't care much about MPG. Shifting was clunky as shit for me too at the start, but somewhere after 5 or 6k miles it smoothed out. It really upset me at first though, so I get where you are coming from. Cheers and enjoy!
I had an f150 and the clunking was so bad was one of the reasons I lemon lawed it. It would surge and the clunk was audibly loud and would shake the whole cabin at times. Sometimes it was minor like what yours is doing. I have a 2019 sierra Denali with the 10 speed and it doesn't do it at all. Transmission works perfectly. Worst thing about the sierra are the seats.
I think the transmission issue is how when the truck in regular mode it likes to skip a gear to save gas. If you don't like that leave it in sport mode.
I just bought my 2018 Raptor with 32000 miles. Will see how this fucken truck performs in the next few miles since i plan taking it off-road A LOT. From this price point, i expect a decent durability, most of the things talked in this video are redundat to me.
I’ve had 2 trucks with the 10 spd and both have been flawless. Both have been tuned and even then it shifted smoothly. I do like the 3.4 version of sync. It would be nice if Ford would release it to the 17-19 trucks. Drive it and enjoy it!
Dude you are clueless as to why they don't put high end stuff on the truck. It's built for Off Road not a ride and look at me Truck. Off road people don't want that stuff because it's a waste of money for them.
I test drove a lot of Trucks this year and I felt the same. Pay that much money for something and still didn't get the Accessories I wanted so I have to spend more money to buy it. If I pay that much money for a truck, it better have everything I want.
I own a 2018 Raptor...used Forscan to get rid of fake eng sound (Ford is not the only one doing this...) I find the interior very good, but not perfect, and let me try to convince you not to waste a single dime with an aftermarket exhaust...it just makes a V6 sound louder, not better. First got my truck and the manual shifting seems to be a little lagy...but it also has an adaptive learn...I take mine out to the desert and have done about 400 off road miles in two days, ALL manual shifting...actually have over 1000 total desert miles and again all manual shifting...whats happened in my case is the manual shifting has gotten really good...shifts faster and firmer. Shift firmness is a subjective thing, the perfect shift for me may be to soft or firm for you..This is the best truck I ever drove of owned but that doesn't make it perfect in all areas...Thanks for the video!
Sounds like you have one that has the cam phaser problem, I believe I would get it checked out, yours sounds the same as mine just before they were replaced. Just a heads up
So, had you not seen this truck prior to purchasing it? Everything you "hate" was easily discoverable with a simple walk-around and test drive. The fact that it isn't a V-8 was, I'm sure, pretty clear on the sticker. If you thought the materials were crappy and the seats not soft enough, why did you buy it? I thought the comments seemed harsh as I started to watch this, but they're spot on. If your desire is to present yourself to the world as a spoiled brat, you've accomplished your goal. No one is impressed. Oh, and by the way, are you aware of the fact that there is a break-in period. From what I could see, you don't even have a 1000 miles on it yet. The transmission issues will probably smooth out.
Raptors aren’t supposed to be luxurious. If you want all that jazz get a platinum or king ranch
Brian Scherer or if you want a real luxury you get a Lincoln.
Raptors are not luxurious? 😂 The only truck I've had is a 2000 tundra so i beg to differ.
Brian Scherer don’t for get about the Limited.
HYDRA they are not meant to be a luxury vehicle it’s a Baja truck meant for recreation if you’re looking for a luxury vehicle get a kings ranch
It’s actually targeted for young people who want luxury cool trucks.

Thank you damn i love my Raptor.
Takes a few thousand miles for your Raptor to learn you driving habits. It will learn when and where to shift based on your past
driving habits
I wasted 3 minutes of my life watching this! Very annoying!

Maybe the Tremor with its 7.3 gasoline engine will sound and be better or with that unbelievable 6.7 liter diesel engine with its mind blowing torque 1050 of " 1423 Nm " which costs as much as this raptor costs and do more stuff except speed runs in desert and jumping but you can tow your house with you and do decent of roading 😅
Hey to each there own the Diesel is built for hauling/towing. Yes people do like V8 over V6 Turbos. In the end the Raptor with V6 Turbos, Unique looks over the stock trucks and off Road abilities is a beast truck
They replaced it for both POWER and fuel economy. I have an '18 that's broken in with 15k miles and it averages 17.2 overall and is pretty consistent
When Obama bailed out Dodge I sold my Dodge Hemi. I grew up with Dodge and it was the best change I ever made. Ford just fits together better no rattle and shakes like my dodge. That said the Hem is still a beast!
At least you'll be able to see it when you mall crawl.
Rogue Yamaha good one
When you keep saying, “I love the truck”...but, but, but, but, tells me honestly that you are not happy or satisfied with the purchase. I have had many GM’s, Ford’s, but my 2020 Ram has been my most satisfying experience over my many years of driving!
The raptor is an awesome truck for sure, but the interior and tech in my Rebel 12 is vastly superior.
Tech as in adjustable shocks? Oh the touch screen lol
Does have air ride and can be had for under 50k sooooo
@@mugs2169 Please man my trainee at work Leased a Rebel and I bought a Raptor. His looks truck looks like a paste on addition to a standard Ram. The Raptor is its own beats even he agrees wish I leased a Raptor.
I agree my Rebel 12 is way better on the interior , not even close , and the fact they pipe a fake exhaust sound to the interior speakers is like WTF lmao , dont get me wrong Ive had fords for years and my 14 was a good ride but wow im very happy I made the switch to Ram ..!!!
Ra Wright rebel is built poorly, even worse than the new raptors. New trucks are crap quality and just look the part. It has a lot of made in China parts and won’t last more than 100 000 miles while running strong without any issues. They are overpriced fake luxury vehicles. Real luxury vehicles are Lexus and Audi.
People now a days complain about something he didn’t have to buy. That truck does not deserve this guy
It doesn't hurt to keep quiet sometimes when you are expecting your audience to hear something weird from the engine/transmission !
Than why did you buy it?
So petty! Cost & fuel economy! Why did you buy the truck?!
So the question is will you go back to ram 1500?
I own a Raptor. I also don't associate with other Ford owners. All points you made are extremely valid. I don't know anything about your other material, but the hater comments are from Ford/Raptor Fanboys and not people who can give an unbiased opinion. Truck rides nice, off-road capability is incredible, trans is horrible, stability at high speed over rough bumps is scary, interior is awful, paddles are a waste of time, exhaust note almost kept me from buying one. I feel almost exactly as you do. Really like the truck, but there are more than just a few things that are terrible. Your fuel mileage is mostly your fault. You can get 15mpg if you drive it normally. BTW, I'm sure you know you can turn the fake noise off, among other things, through Forscan.
When GOD blesses me with a Ford F-150 Raptor, I'll be damned if I complain about a thing!
You DO realize that they use essentially the same body panels as regular F-150s?
What you're probably experiencing when you go to throttle up is called turbo lag
My only complaint would be the missing fog lights but those are a quick fix. Everything else is a 10/10.
They should use the same electronic dash they use for the mustang
Does a Porsche 911 Turbo owner complain about low mpg? No because it's a performance vehicle. You get what you pay for
At 3600 miles, I’m getting 16.8 mpg on my 2019 Raptor. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned.
Bill Beverly do you off-road it?
16.3 for me.
@@BenHardyCars Haha! Clearly if you’re offloading the truck you can’t complain about getting 12 1/2 miles to the gallon. That’s actually outstanding gas mileage!
The raptor in ALL its glory is still an F150. Went to the gym, NEVER went to charm school. I’m a truck lover, but this is the pros vs cons of your rebel. I think your rebel is a better daily and having the raptor is status and testosterone ( grown ups Tonka toy) Which is better?
U seem to always complain about your purchases. Lml
Najee Jackson 🤷♂️
Guys give him a break I mean seriously he is clearly not a truck guy. There is not one real truck guy that would complain about the most off road worthy factory truck on the planet! On the planet! Wow, you are so lucky dude. I worked my butt off to get my 2018 King Ranch. Would kill for a raptor (not an orange one) a mans color. These youtube kids that are just looking for something to post and shame on all of us for watching it. Cheers all!
If you look up “buyers remorse” it goes to this yt video. jk, lol
I'd buy one if there was a full electric model with 1000 km range.
Gotta agree with most comments. This guy would find something wrong with a free Lamborghini Aventador. I'm a Wallstreet brat, and cant wait to pick up my raptor Friday. My only complaint is Christmas causing me to have to wait to pick it up.
And you bought the car why again? I really don't understand why people complain when they clearly had the opportunity to inspect the truck beforehand
I own a 2010 raptor with a 5.4... its reliable, great for rough terrain, and I use to pull my race car with it. It's wide , comfy as hell for a pickup, and I love everything about it except that the shocks don't last long, the motor isn't a 6.2, and my exhaust manifold gasket is failing. It's got 98k miles and has been a great vehicle. I like gen 2 Raptors but if I could do it over I would of bought a crew cab 6.2. Ford makes great products.
Well said!!! Transparent!! In Australia the same raptor would cost around $160000 to $170000. So you in America are lucky!!! Most people can't afford a standard RAM, SILVERADO, F150 , or anything like it in Australia!! Let alone an optioned model!!!
robmotown1 that’s a lot of money
IF YOU KEEP COMPARING IT TO A REBEL OR A 1500 GET THOSE AND STOP COMPLAINING!!!
The new ford Tremor sounds like a better option to me, when is the review for that truck coming ?
revistadearmas once ford in Provo gets one!
Tremor looks so good 💯in the L.A Auto show but Power Wagon interior was so awesome 🏆🥇
In terms of comfort of ride and ride silence , how does the f150 raptor compare to the ram rebel? Thanks in advance
Him: 5 things i hate about the ford f150 raptor.
Me: 5 things i have to do to buy a better phone so i can see clearer the raptors im gonna watch😂😂😂
I don't know much about the 10 spd trannys but I've been told to give it time, they'll smooth out. It's a learning transmission.
Gas, mine gets 10.5-11 mpg in the city so count yourself lucky. Lolol
Premium fuel not a must for a turbo but is recommended.
Love the orange/black. If I was getting a Gen2 Raptor, yours would be exactly how I'd order mine. Just wish I could've afforded something like this at 22!
Guys two stuff i agree on as a raptor owner:
1) The interior blends with the stiching is so cheap its actually worse than how you see it on camera
2) The shifting is very clunky and feels cheap and old
That entire 10 speed is just STUPID! If you’re driving under 45 miles an hour it is just constant, and I’m in constant shifting. Completely ridiculous!
If I’m driving under 45 miles an hour in normal drive mode I just downshift on the left paddle shifter twice and turn the truck into an eight speed.
I got a brand new 2018 raptor last year and it did the same shifting thing but once I got a couple thousand miles on it it hasn’t done it since, so don’t worry about the shifting while it’s that new it’ll get a lot better
I heard you Ben! LOL! That is in reference to your comment about how you are dressed and how cold it is where you are. This why Ram has gained ground on Ford and GM for the attention to detail and the materials used. A beautiful sight Ben is happy tonight.. driving in a winter wonderland..LOL! You paid for that truck after seeing that price tag.
OLDS98 and I love it
It’s a truck, hence not having padded arm rests on the doors. You need to clean those often. I have an outback that I use to access backcountry trails year round and the padded arm rests are destroyed by my dogs and are dirty as shit in the sticking. The plastic is a feature I appreciate
The truck is built for off-roading so that’s probably why they put hard plastic because no issues with mud or anything just wipe it off. You could take it to a place and have them alcantara everything. Places I’ve seen does dash boards for like 500 if you like alcantara I personally like it
I have 2014 with the 6.2 getting 14.7 miles per gal using 87 octane with STP racing octane buster, gives it more pep too..
I have one and I completely agree with the points you made many people who have disliked don't even have a raptor
x XOvOX x always how it is lol
Anyone with an F-150/Raptor, if you get the shift issue in low gears tell your dealer you want the software update to fix it. My 2017 did that about 1 out of every 10 times and it was aggravating. Guy in service at my dealer had one and said there is a software update they don't advertise but only install if someone tells them they are having this issue.
First thing I would complain about is that you have a V6 on this thing.
Your Raptor is one of the better looking. I like the orange. I bought a brand new F250 crew cab 4x4 6.2 L V8 for $33,999. Cash.
Love all the angry comments lol. People are so bitter that “you aren’t using the truck like a truck”, or “he cries like a girl because he’s honest” . Y’all gotta let that hurt go man. Sweet truck bro, and that’s from a Chevy/ram guy.
Darius Jones 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Axle Wrap and Wheel Hopping: SVC Off Road makes traction bars that help mitigate this, but also reportedly reduce ground clearance. KrazyHouseCustoms makes a Torque Arm that appears to almost completely eliminate it without reducing ground clearance and also includes an optional rear diff skid plate that looks bad ass. I have been eyeing it for my rig, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Here's a link to a video they did with the Torque arm installed: ruclips.net/video/zMLEi4M1ZUQ/видео.html
Fuel economy: I noticed much better mileage on my raptor after a 4 or 5k miles. Also 4A mode does reduce overall MPG, which was the mode you had selected during your filming of MPG. I have just over 10k miles on my 19 Raptor 802A SuperCrew and I average 15-16mpg. I also only use 91, but don't know if that would play a part in my MPG. Either way, I agree with you I don't care much about MPG.
Shifting was clunky as shit for me too at the start, but somewhere after 5 or 6k miles it smoothed out. It really upset me at first though, so I get where you are coming from.
Cheers and enjoy!
You didn’t have these complaints with the rebel🤔🤔
Aftermarket fog lights look awesome on the Raptor. $600 on Amazon. Maybe Santa will bring you a set, if you've been a good boy. 🎅🏻🎄🎁
rgrndu or I just get sponsored🤔🤔🤔
I had an f150 and the clunking was so bad was one of the reasons I lemon lawed it. It would surge and the clunk was audibly loud and would shake the whole cabin at times. Sometimes it was minor like what yours is doing.
I have a 2019 sierra Denali with the 10 speed and it doesn't do it at all. Transmission works perfectly. Worst thing about the sierra are the seats.
If you don’t like your raptor I’ll be glad to swap it with my F-150 platinum😂
Opening Statement: " 5 Things I hate about my Ford Raptor (Click Bait)", Yes, I still love this truck. What??
I think the transmission issue is how when the truck in regular mode it likes to skip a gear to save gas. If you don't like that leave it in sport mode.
I have a 2010 F150. It does same thing around 35 mph. So annoying.
I just traded my 370Z Nismo in for a Raptor... You're 100% correct Great truck, Great technology, but FORD isn't even keeping up with 3rd world tech.
Most Lethal lol
I just bought my 2018 Raptor with 32000 miles. Will see how this fucken truck performs in the next few miles since i plan taking it off-road A LOT. From this price point, i expect a decent durability, most of the things talked in this video are redundat to me.
Holy crap!!! 12.8 mpg? I’m getting 16.3 at the moment.
the only thing i love about this raptor is its design,nothing more.
I’ve had 2 trucks with the 10 spd and both have been flawless. Both have been tuned and even then it shifted smoothly. I do like the 3.4 version of sync. It would be nice if Ford would release it to the 17-19 trucks. Drive it and enjoy it!
Dude you are clueless as to why they don't put high end stuff on the truck. It's built for Off Road not a ride and look at me Truck.
Off road people don't want that stuff because it's a waste of money for them.
When I purchased my ram I also test drove a ford and I’m sorry but the inside looked too cheap for the price
I'm A die hard Chevy guy but I really do love the interior of the Rams give then big credit for that..
William Maddox yeah chevy’s also have a nice interior. Ram won me over though!
I test drove a lot of Trucks this year and I felt the same. Pay that much money for something and still didn't get the Accessories I wanted so I have to spend more money to buy it. If I pay that much money for a truck, it better have everything I want.
I own a 2018 Raptor...used Forscan to get rid of fake eng sound (Ford is not the only one doing this...) I find the interior very good, but not perfect, and let me try to convince you not to waste a single dime with an aftermarket exhaust...it just makes a V6 sound louder, not better. First got my truck and the manual shifting seems to be a little lagy...but it also has an adaptive learn...I take mine out to the desert and have done about 400 off road miles in two days, ALL manual shifting...actually have over 1000 total desert miles and again all manual shifting...whats happened in my case is the manual shifting has gotten really good...shifts faster and firmer. Shift firmness is a subjective thing, the perfect shift for me may be to soft or firm for you..This is the best truck I ever drove of owned but that doesn't make it perfect in all areas...Thanks for the video!
Sorry Ben....this is just being nit picky....but you have a right to voice your opinion....I myself would love to own a Raptor.....
Johnny Freeman I love the truck for sure. The positives outweigh the negatives
Sounds like you have one that has the cam phaser problem, I believe I would get it checked out, yours sounds the same as mine just before they were replaced. Just a heads up
Z06 Corvette thank you
5th thing is the MSRP. That’s a big one. But enjoy the truck. They go north of MSRP in the NE too.
That color is sick
So, had you not seen this truck prior to purchasing it? Everything you "hate" was easily discoverable with a simple walk-around and test drive. The fact that it isn't a V-8 was, I'm sure, pretty clear on the sticker. If you thought the materials were crappy and the seats not soft enough, why did you buy it? I thought the comments seemed harsh as I started to watch this, but they're spot on. If your desire is to present yourself to the world as a spoiled brat, you've accomplished your goal. No one is impressed. Oh, and by the way, are you aware of the fact that there is a break-in period. From what I could see, you don't even have a 1000 miles on it yet. The transmission issues will probably smooth out.
i love the marker lights.
This guy listens to sam smith songs and draws in color books
Why did you buy it then.
Is he not allowed to dislike things about it?
Why if you dont like the interior package, didn't you get an upgrade?
It's designed to race off road not a chauffeured limousine.
