..I just love the way you make the interior presentation and drive test, plus some other details on exterior and under chassis. You make me even so much more interested with this trim. Much appreciate even more if you add up another video covering 1). How its bead lock works, when & where to use it? 2). Is it capable of air ride suspension conversion? 3) Are you doing this customization? Thank you and more power.....
Hey thanks for asking! I’m not sure on the bead locks. I think I can buy them from Ford Racing. The bead locks are for off road use when you air the tires down and I’m pretty sure they are for “off road” use only. As far as air ride goes I don’t think it needs it. The suspension on this truck is more than capable of handling my off road adventures. For power, I’m not sure how much I’ll do to it. Maybe a tune and a cold air intake in the next couple months. I’ve had a lot of trucks over the years and they all were good at doing one thing. It might have been towing for one truck, maybe off roading for another truck, but the Raptor seems to be good at a lot of things!
I know this is an older video but im looking into trading my 22 ram trx for this same truck. Im torn if it’s a good decision. Worried it’s going to feel way under powered compared to my trx. Why did you go with a raptor over a trx. Thanks
I guess it all come down to personal preference. I've always been a Ford guy but I've owned trucks from all of the big three auto makers. They all had their issues... It seems like every mopar vehicle that I had always had electrical problems. Thats one of the reasons I passed on the TRX. The TRX is a bad a$$ truck and has a ton of power but I feel like the Raptor makes up for the lack of power elsewhere. The suspension on these trucks is amazing. Way more capable than what the average Joe can throw at it. The interior in the Raptor is better in my opinion as well. My truck has the Blue Recaros and they are awesome. They're very comfortable and the bolsters hold you in tight when things get crazy. I guess my opinion may be slightly biased since I own the Raptor but 450hp backed by a 10sp auto with 37's and 4:10 gearing is a blast to drive. The different drive modes, adjustable steering, shock settings, and exhaust can be tailored to your liking, all with buttons on the steering wheel! The different suspension settings are very noticeable, especially when off-roading. If possible, go test drive a Raptor 37. It'll give you an idea of what the Raptor is about on the street but where it really shines is off- road. Not sure if this helps you at all... Good luck on your decision! My truck has 9,000 trouble free miles to date, and I couldn't be happier with it.
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to get mine!!!!
I got mine a month ago, I like it way more than my 2022 diesel!!
What a great view from the backseat! I wish others did the same thing when filming.
How are you liking the BOV you installed?
It sounds good! It’s very noticeable with the windows down.

Hello, this car also has a height adjustment system
