anyone else remember the green Dodge Ram to be the most insane truck you can buy from a dealership ?
These reviews are way better than chevy volt reviews.
Ryan Larson to be expected, way better vehicle!
you meant bolt? whats up with the electric car hate? its the future
Mathieu Bouvier It's not that I hate electric cars. It's the fact that people want to see reviews on cars they don't see everyday.
There was a 5.7 and a 6.2 on he old raptor
Where do you live because it seems like Tesla, and the Chevy Volts are popping up here. More Prius owners too.
I've driven one myself and I think it's an excellent truck. It's made for "young adults" than most older people
Damn, the editing is really good on this vid! Keep it up!
It's really nice to see the videos getting a lot more positive commentaries because you are truly a great RUclipsr and anyone who disagrees can take a hike or try to make a channel as successful as this themselves.
Comes with a window sticker. Not bad
Parker love the cinematography I appreciate the hard work
Wow, you can actually "daily drive" a Raptor? Unbelievable! After all these years, finally!
Good job Ford! How about a 2 door Wrangler Rubicon with it's factory mud-terrains, soft top, short wheelbase and manual transmission? How do people manage on their commute in stop and go traffic, 45 min there, 45 min back? That must be nearly INSANE, whether it's on the off-road or off the on-road!
This is by far your cleanest video... Those panning shots of the raptor with the snow running across the ground were beautiful.
Cant it just have a twin turbo 5.0?
If it is unresonable, tell me
RandomReviews that would be like 600 horsepower lol. It doesn't need that much.
RandomReviews dude you gotta downsize the engine if you want to add two turbos
Gav Com Wouldn't it have enough room?
Gav Com not true, many people with these trucks have 5.0s that they twin turbo'd
That does sound great. I did hear Ford was going to make a 4.8 eco-boost v8 for the F-150 so maybe they've listened to all the complaining everyones done and decided just to make what people want. lol. the way i think of it is they are like, "we'll use the smallest powerhouse we have then if we really need to well step it up and use the ttv8." I mean think about it they won Le Mans with a TTV6 imagine if they used a TTV8 for it.
Parker over here, waving his hand as he makes points like a politician.
After all the reviews I've watched, I have to say you have the coolest intro for car reviews out of all the channels.
I daily a 17’ Raptor. It’s nothing short of awesome. Plus my kids get to ride around in a tank everyday.
I'm tired of people keep crying about no V8, they are great and all but this truck wouldn't be as great power wise with it, just noise
Max yeas it would
Arvgyl oh im sorry are you a car manufacturer?
Tommy Davenport obviously not, but they've said the V8 just wouldn't of gave it the power they were looking for. (Just V8 no turbos) Plus the V6 is so much better for me because I live in very high altitude
Just noise? The V8s do produce a nice and unique melody. It would be better with a V8, that is obvious.
They could have built a 3.5L TT V8 that sounds amazing. Instead they took the marginally cheaper route and built a V6, that will make your truck sound like a Honda Accord. A reduction in displacement does not have to equal a reduction in cylinder count.
I have never seen someone react so dramatically to a sunroof before lol 8:00
The only negative comment I ever hear about the Raptor is the sound of the engine. Although I’d worry about 1 or 2 turbos failing and having to repair them, the sound is a very minor issue. Frankly, I want as little sound as possible........and I don;t care what anyone else hears as I’m leaving t them in the dust.
I think the EcoBoost name is a gimmick. Doesn't offer the fuel economy they are really advertising, at least on the V6. The six cylinder has to keep up with the performance of the V8 so those turbos aren't really used for economy, but more for power.
Jaden Sanderson yeah when turbochargers are used for performance, they aren't very economical lol.
Jaden Sanderson I have an ecoboost pickup and I get average 20 mpg
Morgan Freeman my dad's gets 12 orn13
And thats why I love it,
Uh... not sure if you've driven one but if anything it feels more effortless than a v8 with the same power. You'd have to be dip into 6.2 or 6.4 v8 to get the same power... you think those get the same fuel economy as the ecoboost? Doubtful.
FYI: according to the "Raptor Supplement", in Baja Mode, the 4WD system/transfer case is also automatically placed into 4 High.
I don't understand why they don't have a good diesel for this
Ashish Patel probably wouldnt be as fast and maybe emissions reasons
Ashish Patel I work at a Ford Dealership in Florida, the F150 will come with a diesel in the coming years, No word on the Raptor having one but there is a possibility
Diesels are heavy.
Ashish Patel the Ram Powerwagon has a diesel, also chevy has a diesel version of their off-road Colorado if I'm not mistaken
because it would be way to nose heavy to jump.
Great work man. Always appreciate your work
I like how you mention that the new raptor doesn't get that good fuel economy
I wish they would have gone with the tried and true 5.0
That engine has good fuel economy infact right up there with the ecoboost and less we forget SOUNDS A HELL OF ALOT BETTER
I hope to see somebody stuff a 5.0 in the new raptor and maybe adding a couple of turbo chargers because that would be a hell of a fast truck if that was the case
A guy can only dream right
The videos parker makes are absolutely top quality ;)
MY FAVORITE TRUCK!!!!!!Good work Parker.
XB Mario same here man!👍
So many reviews lately, I love it!
So good to see a person with “Downs” making car reviews.
Bravo!!!
Hey Parker great meeting you today at the North Terminal, hope your flight was good, love the videos keep up the great work man!
Awesome review of the ford raptor!! I think your right- the ford raptor is the best a truck can get (for now) 👍🏻
People who are buying Raptors are not looking for great gas mileage, but it is ironic enough that the eco-boost barely saves any gas on this truck. I would not buy the 2017 just because of the v6. Nothing is ever like a v8, I dont care what ford says. Still a great truck though.
yea the eco-boost bs is just a buzzword. Most all of them have crap gas mileage. Would of loved to have seen the horses they could of got out of it with a proper tuned/turbo'd v8.
D. Adder I have an Ecoboost pickup and my average gas mileage is 20 mpg
If they would have put a new v8 in, It would be even have a better performance than the old v8.
Yup. I find it a bit odd that they don't even have an option for it.
Your Eco-boost is a different engine than the one in the raptor.
I used to have the previous generation with the 6.2 liter. I like how the new generation looks but i can't get over the new exhaust note.
Nice review. MotorTrend did a really amazing review and testing of this truck in a recent ignition episode
4L v8 ecoboost with a flatplane crank that can go to 8500 rpm would be awsome
Ford did a great job, a lot of new improvements, more power, technology and safety features... and the people are still complaining about the engine, there are some V8 options in the market yet, I don't see any other manufacture putting effort to develop a gas V8 twin turbo or supercharged, the cost, complexity and emissions regulations probably are the reason.
Parker, use of the drone in my honest opinion has really enhanced your video intros. Great work man!!
Cinematography and editing is on point!
Look at it like this: if this huge 5000+ truck and go from 0-60 in 5 secs,; I’m seriously fine with it being a v6 good job Ford for figuring those numbers for gas and weight distribution
Awesome video!
Ford knew exactly what they were doing with this v6 engine
I would say maybe try a twin turbo and roots type supercharged 4.0L v8 with that transmission and you should be able to still get decent gas mileage and a brilliant amount of power.
A good reference for an engine setup similar to what I'm referring to is the vicious Mustang build that Jay Leno showed off on his RUclips channel a week or two ago. it is a 65 Mustang but it has the voodoo engine in it out of the gt350 making 1000hp.
who needs a V8 with that sort of power?
I don't think ford wanted the V6 with the a 10 speed transmission to economical as the as they wanted the truck to have much better performance, if the truck had the V8 it wouldn't be up to performance and much different to the prev gen, turbos do add lot of performance so the V8 really was not needed for any reason other than it being a V8
Loved the intro
You need a camera/drone truck, Parker! This is perfect!
Personally, I never saw you as a truck person, but I can see that Raptor working for you
Thought it was a slip up but you said "on the off road" at least 3 times. Just an interesting choice of words. 😉
opening song? Killing it with the intros lately man.
Bump. Need song name
Damn y'all americans. Here in my country we stuck with a ford ranger that can only do 6 speed while you have 10 speed. I didn't even know there was a 10 speed truck alive til' I saw this!!!
How do I win this lambo your talking about! Great review by the way .
What do you use to film the exterior and interior "candid" shots of the vehicle and how do you film them so smoothly? A GoPro? Camera? iPhone? Thanks for your help!
Good Vid! When you get a chance, I'd like to see a review of the 2014 Raptor and your thoughts having been in both.
The 6.2 vs 3.5 vs the revised 3.5 comparison was confusing, luckily we already knew what he was talking about :)
You should do more vlogs. I really enjoyed them. And what do you think of the 2012 Land Rover LR4 HSE Lux? My mother is giving it to me for my first car and she is getting the new Discovery when it arrives in May
Alex1225TG slow down mommas rich boy
GREAT CONTENT!
stop saying "On the off road"
honestly dude, every time he said that I cringed
Chris Carlson he started to annoy me
He annoyed me before I even heard him say that, then I read this comment and had to keep watching just to see it for myself.
Then there was "on the on road." Killing me
Yes, he's getting a little "INSANE" about that! Maybe it would be better if he used the phrase "Off the off-road" for certain "INSANE" situations he gets into or out of?
I have to say that the videos are very professional and you have put up with the hate very well.
Damn, first salomondrin doing the same car review in the same day as you and now Doug haha
i love driving "on the off-road" lool
After 5:16 I thought he was gonna put that video of a Raptor flying to a house !!
Sick intro man
this is such a cool truck
awesome video man, but whomever told you that the actual engine has been upgraded over the normal 2017 f150 was wrong because as a I am a wholesale parts distributor for a Ford dealer I can tell you both a 2017 f150 XL, XLT\, Lariat, Platinum, Limited and King Ranch with a 3.5 ecoboost all have the same engine assembly part number which means they are the exact same. Now I know not everyone has access to this information that's why I wanted to spread the new that it is just a programming difference. I understand that the dealers are falsely advertising these ecoboost engines to be COMPLETLY different over the stock when it is just an engine tune that is different, they are completely similar from air filter to oil pan. Now the rest of the truck SPOT ON dude its a beast for sure!
I love this truck !
i want a black 4 door raptor just like this...
What a beautiful truck
Good stuff
for those of you who hate it cause the V6 and no V8, drive one, I guarantee you won't give a shit what engine it has, this thing is a fuckin beast.
Check out a e39 m5 engine in a 8 series
I have absolutely no idea why they have the exhaust coming from the back instead of the side because all it does is decrease departure angles and it's going to get torn up off road
Hope armchair cowboys stop down voting your vids man. No matter what people think about you as a person, you do great reviews that feel honest and not some PR stunt paid by the manufacturer. Keep at it man.
Don't forget about the dealership mark up, saw one at a dealer that had a 25k market mark up.
Awesome truck!!👍👌🏻
I'm a Chevy fan boy but dam it I'm in love with this raptor
You should do some sleeper type cars. Like the VW CC 3.6 4motion and Ford Fusion Sport.
damnnn bright sun
Sure can see the sunlight through the windows in that truck lol
Can someone please explain why everyone's crying about it not having a V8? This thing is 500 pounds lighter and makes more power. This would destroy the old Raptor. The cylinders don't matter.
Imagine if Ford put the GT350R's flat plane v8 in the new raptor!
I'd love to get my hands on a 2017 Raptor but I went with a ZL1 instead but don't think I won't try to get one ☝️
add this to the title .. " until the TRX is out for the hunt"
Also note for all of you who are saying this shouldn’t have a V6, this is the same engine that is in the Ford GT. And remember how initially everyone was saying a super car shouldn’t have a V6? Now no one cares. Also if you are going to get mad at V6s, go tell that to Mercedes with the Project One.
I don't usually like trucks but this Raptor is amazing! I do agree with you however, it should've come with a v8.
I thought the ram 1500 with the Minotaur (aka ram runner) package was the most insane truck you can buy from a dealer
As a fan of the Buick grand national and the turbo trans am of the 80s, ford blew it with the eco boost platform. The look and demeanor of this truck is begging for a supercharged v8
WillBKMG its begging for the old 6.2 or a boosted coyote
Seems as if people are forgetting this truck is made off-road and do it better than other trucks. But hey keep your concrete princesses.
The best part of a truck is the rumble of starting and revving a v8. I wouldn't trade that sensation for any benefits that turbocharged v6 has to offer.
Parker i watch your videos all the time. If you can get your hands on one do a review of the 2016 or 2017 Camaro you didn't do those yet. If you really can plz do the 2017 zl1
Beautiful ute... needs to be brought to Australia
What you think that hennessey is going to do with this one for the new velociraptor?
Word on the street has it that there will be a new 5.0 EcoBoost V8 option coming next year.
Pretty sure I'm not alone here. Would take a Hennessey VelociRaptor over this Raptor
PeRX TOR Who wouldn't?
PeRXiTY
still sounds like shit. I took one for a ride at Hennessey.
needs the new 7 liter motor coming out in it.
My favorite truck
That damn sun is blinding me.
Good review, you actually know something about the Raptor and are not just repeating Ford talking points.
Love to see you review a Shelby f150, saw one recently and I think it's better looking than the raptor
Have to disagree with you on the sync 3. It's a quick, crisp, and responsive system. But I'll let you slide on this one.
Best looking truck ever made is the G63 AMG 6x6...
