By far my favorite vehicle reviewer, has been my go-to for *years* now! Sofyan is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough, and I’m always down for a good 0-60, regardless of the vehicle. The fact he lives with the vehicles for a week, makes his reviews more authentic in terms of fuel economy, comfort and overall functionality. Thank you for what you and your team do Sofyan!
Love these Redline Reviews. Among the best. Raptor R does 0-60 in about the same time as my Cayman S. Insane is a good word for the time in a vehicle that weighs twice as much. I saw a review somewhere of the Lightning towing it's max 10,000 load and for some reason, they did a 0-60 test. I forget the actual time because I was blown away when it chirped all 4 tires.
@@skellington2000 : Premium (93 octane) right now is $3.93/gallon here in central Texas 35 miles southwest of Austin. Regular (87 octane) is $3.31/gallon.
I would have designed the front grill differently. I would have used the R in the word Ford. So the Ford logo or lettering I should say would be all black, except for the R which would be the orange stylized r
There's a reason that the Raptor is slower than the TRX from 0 to 60, The Raptor is equipped with 37 inch tires. If you put 37 inch tires on the TRX you will find out that the TRX times will be slower
**Notices the camera shaking during the engine explanation **😂 Redline is the GOAT 🐐 - not sure if it was intentional, but it’s something that AI would never do, and something I genuinely love the passion 🫶 😂
The reason why ford didn’t start out with a v8 in the gen 2 and gen 3 unlike the trx, was so that the raptor could actually make it to the gas station, be fuel efficient, and still put a smile on your face
Sadly, in the real world, these things are going for $130K+. I love the sound of Ford's 5.2 Predator. It has more of an exotic sound vs the American brute bark of the TRX, which sounds glorious as well. I think Ford has slightly better dynamics than the Ram, which some of that could be explained by the 400lb weight penalty. But I personally think the Ram looks more aggressive and its interior is certainly better in fit/finish and materials.
The american people are really confusing, i thought things are really bad over there how are dealerships charging so much and still getting higher sales than ever? how did people purchase some civic trims at 50k when it came out and now they buying a mainstream none luxury truck for 100k? how?
@@aram430 Americans have insane fascination with debt and needing the biggest/latest/greatest of everything. Most people that purchase this truck will not explore 1/10th of its capability,seemingly only taking it on a dirt road at most.
You should do more American cars, I just noticed American cars are better than Japanese cars. The only reason people get Japanese cars is because they are cheaper but they don’t know they don’t last as long compared to American cars. If you don’t agree then you don’t know what your talking about
You will get quicker 0-60 time using the auto-hold feature, sport mode, and hold down traction control button to turn off all traction controls. I get 3.4 seconds when I do this
The Raptor R has gone mad with this 5.2L S/C V8 from the discontinued S550 Shelby GT500 making the Raptor really possessed it will rip the terrain off its ground!!!
The Raptor is generally faster than the T-Rex. In comparing 0-60 times you have to take the exact elevation, uphill & downhill into consideration, and the exact spot not just the same stretch of road IMHO.
@4:11 "Still have the bold Ford grill in the front, that spells out Ford." Thanks for the info, didn't realize those big ass letters spelled Ford... Lol
A bit of a nit pic,.....but for the "RAPTOR",...the last "R" is red.....except for the back graphic. Not sure why they wouldn't make it uniform across the truck. Same for the steering wheel. 😕 Regardless,....an amazing truck that I wouldn't ever own. Very cool...and amazing truck in design and performance!
The fact remains that the majority of Raptors people buy will still have the 3.5 V6. Most can't afford to buy a Raptor R especially with the dealer markups.
I really like all the features the F150s offer although many of them aren’t offered on this trim. Where I suffer is the look. I think both the interior and exterior are still very 2004. I also prefer the rear seat bench angle in the Rams. Those seats seem to provide better thigh support. For me the Ram seats also feel like you sit in them versus on them. Both of them are far better than the GM seats. If I’m ranking interior cabin looks I’d say Ram, GM, Ford. If I’m ranking interior cabin comfort it’s going to be Ram, Ford, GM. Like the review though. Thanks 🤙
Ram must be going down the same road as the Germans in under rating the power of their engines. 600 lbs heavier yet faster still. Either way Worthy adversaries. Great review
@@naveenthemachine : Durango Hellcat has a curb weight of 5,710 lbs. & 0-60 of 3.6 seconds vs the Raptor R's listed curb weight of 5,960 lbs. (though Sofyan says the one in the video is over 6,000 lbs.).
And the TRX is bowed out for now bc of emissions..TRX will be designed with the hurricane 🌀 engine..I guess the new Raptor will have an updated ecoboost engine to challenge 😊
Very few of these performance models are actually sold. They are simply halo models for the brand and people who hope they will become iconic collector models. More standard raptors are sold but even those are rare on the road.
Trex so much more badass looking. Nobody does Muscle look better than mopar ❤❤❤ain't nobody going jumping with a $115 k truck anyways. Btw the raptor r is faster.
No electric….! It’s going to die and it is. Combustible engines will survive this craziness this administration has imposed. It will never happen. We need to be able to decide what we want… go EV or combustible period.

Redline, Raitis Rides, Car Care Nut Reviews, M539 Restorations best car channels on RUclips in my opinion.

it will still beat a trx in a drag race though
The Raptor is also build cheap compared to the TRX. Ford quality has gone down the s^5$ hole!

@@tommybahamax You're one of the lucky ones.
All ford needs to do now is turn the Explorer into a trackhawk
Or they bring back the Everest name plate and slap a V8 inside it 😊

what are the red infrared blinking lights exactly, what are they for?
Great videos I've been watching sofan for couple of yrs now
From the vids I've seen, once on the move the raptor r is faster, just of the line it's a bit slower

Why the hell does this channel grows so slow? This channel is literally my car dictionary.
A very detailed review
Much more informative 👍🔥
Oh what a truck, what a lovely truck. The environment is already f'd beyond repair, so might as well embrace it. V8.
Yeah let’s just make it worse. There’s grumpy mean people. Let’s be mean grumpy people to make it worse. This is why we as humans will never evolve..
V6 was just not it. Good thing they went with a v8 again.
The fact remains that the majority of Raptors people buy will still have the 3.5 V6. Most can't afford to buy a Raptor R especially with the dealer markups.
I don’t know about a 3.6s 0-60 for the ram. Every single video I’ve seen the raptor is faster. Like literally all of them. Sums up
Huh? The videos I’ve seen, the TRX is faster.
I don't know what you did but you are the only one who said that the Raptor R is slower than the TRX
You said that all 4 tires spinned at take off. Wasn't your test done in 2 wheel drive?
I’d imagine so. It also says full time 4wd in the description which is incorrect
If you put it in sport mode it will go into 4-Auto so all 4 tires will get power if needed.
Should have put rear steer on a solid rear axle?
The GT 500 motor never came with the flat plane crank it was only in the GT350 with the flat plane crank
I caught that too...
I’m ready for the 2024. It looks better 😎
IS THIS SOLOR POWERED? Hybridized? Windmill powered? 😮
I’m so tempted to say be quiet so we can hear the supercharged engine. 😅
Is this same exact truck with the Predator and 35s any faster than the 37s?
I think the Ford looks a lot better than the Trx
sure you would shirley for sure
2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R 75th Anniversary Edition SuperCrew Cab 4X4!
A little better looking than the Fiat trx
And the TRX is gone lol..for now
I would like to see a blue interior

Please Sofyan give us night driving and all its goodies
I’m confused as to why we are so concerned with a “luxury” interior? It’s a off-roading truck, and that’s what you are paying for.
Because in the real world it costs more than $100k+ and 90% of its buyers will use it as a luxury truck, not as an offroader. That's why...
Ram must be going down the same road as the Germans in under rating the power of their engines. 600 lbs heavier yet faster still. Either way Worthy adversaries. Great review

Man thing is awesome.
Sounds awesome.
Well I guess a sub 4 second 0-60 while only weighing 6,000 pounds isn’t as bad as the Hummer EV in terms of safety
Isn’t a hellcat Durango as heavy but faster?
@@naveenthemachine : Durango Hellcat has a curb weight of 5,710 lbs. & 0-60 of 3.6 seconds vs the Raptor R's listed curb weight of 5,960 lbs. (though Sofyan says the one in the video is over 6,000 lbs.).
This vehicle is so absurd... i love it! 😅🤣😂
There is no fight. The TRX is being discontinued. Leave it to Ford to be the last one standing in America performance vehicles.🎉
Nope, 2024s are coming out and Google 2025 TRX, you'll see the spy shots of the updated truck.
sure you would shirley for sure
With markup probably 125 k
What is the color called anyone?
He called it a “thirsty b*tch” 😂🤣
А этот двигатель надежный?
That thing is massive it makes sofyan look like a toy lol
Why are you having hard time speaking????
So he had a bit of an off day. Big deal. No one is 100% everyday of the year.
Raptor R stands alone..TRX bowed out lol😅
This is my dream truck in black but the truth is it’s completely unnecessary! But so it’s any two seater two door sports cars

👍
the TRX sounds much better and is faster, not to mention it looks way better.
Ford knows this truck should've came with this engine from the beginning
The only reason this trucks exist is because of the existing of the TRX
Learn English sheesh, it's should've come with, and it's existence not existing.......
And the TRX is bowed out for now bc of emissions..TRX will be designed with the hurricane 🌀 engine..I guess the new Raptor will have an updated ecoboost engine to challenge 😊
I have a Raptor R and I walk Trx’s all the time
Funny you can name an engine “the predator” but not a human 😅
I dont get it. If you wanna go fast and drop retard money, why not just get a Z06 or Carerra? Ive still yet to see a Raptor ever.
Power slides
i have sklifielfie and i would really wish i could have this truck. I know it will NEVER happen
Don’t buy the 2023 it’s too expensive and it’s missing a lot of technology compared to 2024 version.
Ram has the TRX, Ford has the Raptor R, and Chevy… has… nothing as good. Chevy isn’t what it used to be.
Americans need to stop buying pointless pickup trucks
Very few of these performance models are actually sold. They are simply halo models for the brand and people who hope they will become iconic collector models. More standard raptors are sold but even those are rare on the road.
Mercedes Benz does big SUVs like the GLS 600, and US can't do a cool pick up truck? at least is more usable as utilitarian.
Thailand loves big American pickups. So check your facts jack
Clueless clown
Why?
Trex so much more badass looking. Nobody does Muscle look better than mopar ❤❤❤ain't nobody going jumping with a $115 k truck anyways. Btw the raptor r is faster.
This is nice but not at this price.....
Too expensive unfortunately. Id take the trx over this and save myself like 40grand
Hello, you reviewing it wrong! You review it as if it was a freaking SUV!!! It was created for baja !!! Not for city only driving. 😂
