F150 Raptor owner here. Be glad you don’t have the panoramic sunroof. They creek, pop, and the plastic tracks break - a liability when off-roading. The raptors here in the US without sunroofs are unicorns that are highly sought after.
I agree with you a 100% there should be air condition seats the caribbean and areas with hot weather needs air cooled seats , I am a ford truck owner but your review is spot on.. Thats alot of monies for not having the comfort of air in your seats...
Brought mine in 2022, first batch. Roll on Oct 2024 and just clocking over 56,000 klms and I love this thing more and more! Tuned with unichip and mint.
herrod performance bro, full performance upgrade, remap, trans cooler, intercooler under 6k, all under factory warranty and herrod performance warranty
Yep working on it mate ! I have had a lot of investments going on in my personal life so funds have been tight. Every mod on the Raptor has been sponsored so far by companies I wanted to run. If Herrod wanted to sponsor the build, id be down there already producing a video for them. Unfortunately il need to get the coin together for this mod so it delays it.
@@JamieWilliams-j9z will tuning the engine void fords warranty?i know the ranger can push upwards of 450hp with out any problems would be awesome,earlyer at some point was torn between the ineo granadier and this awesome truck but i no longer have any doubt about this beaut nothing riavals it, goodwill to you all.
Ive owned both gens from new. I had to check hiw many Kms Ive done when you said you are on 19k....20,081 km. Its my daily. Ive jumped it, rock crawled, mud holes, you name it...absolutely bullet proof! Love the addtion of front dif lock as well as all the aux swithes and air compressor, but agree, Ford could have done a bit more...not major things, its the little things like the step for the tub, better seal for the tub and factory fitted optional biger wheel/tyer. Not too fussed about the sunroof. I get the rigidity for jumping, hence no sunroof. AC through the seats would be nice too. Another thing the wildtrack has is a place for a second battery in the engine bay. Other than that...a V8 option could be a Ranger Raptor R model
As someone from Miami, Florida I 100% agree that no ventilated / cooled seats is such a miss play from ford, the seats on the Platinum look soooo much nicer than whats on the Raptor. Would be allover the raptor if they didnt overlook the ventilated seats
Becuse it’s supposed to be an off-road truck, not a luxury truck. If you use it for what it’s intended for, “cooling seats” are the last thing you care about. Just get the platinum 😂
@@Keefer24 I 100% agree with you. I live in SW Florida and have cool and ventilated seats on my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I rarely use that feature even in the summer heat. For me, I don't really care for it. Its definitely not a show stopper as some of these people imply.
Great video mate keep up the content. Love mine but I had a top end fail at 500kms on the first one. Dealer was awesome about it and replaced the entire truck straight away, so shout out to torque ford they didn't cause the problem, but they fixed it straight away. Things a weapon!.
Haven't seen mine for 3 weeks. Powertrain malfunction. Made an awful noise when taking off in drive. Locked itself in 4H and was clunking and grinding and come to a stop before I could even stop. If mine needs replacing I wonder who pays for the mods I've done on mine eg, Herrod pack and other stuff. Never been in this position before with a car.
@@rebelrob9637Better hope they don’t try and void your warranty for all the mods, YES I’ve seen it happen, that’s why I don’t mod my new Colorado Trail Boss! Im scared too 😂
@jimmycline4778 I was worried about that. They were fine this time. Took a while but they gave me a loan car for the whole time and did all the repairs under warranty. The transfer case needed replacing. Hope there isn't a next time.
@@jimmycline4778yeah I’ve kept it small with making any changes with mine as well! Only things like some tint, bed cover and storage. Once you go for that fully loaded truck there isn’t much of a reason to do many modifications😅 just lots of fun messing around with the Auxiliaries
Owned a Raptor for just over 1 month, love it, agree with your opinion of like and dislikes, one other thing would have been nice is a head up display .
I want to start by saying Thank you Ty!! Just purchased my very first next gen raptor. Your authentic approach, information in my opinion will help and has helped new raptor owners. Thank you again!!!!!
It’s definitely the best Ute on the market so glad the diesel wasn’t put in it I tow with mine every day and it doesn’t struggle what do ever I just need to put some heavy coils in the rear!
Mines at 30,000km, no issues with it at all, agree with pretty much all your loves and hates, filthy we don’t get the ventilated seats 🫠 also have a MY22 so hoping we get the update for the dash soon
Nice review, love my Raptor. Done 90,000 km. Best car I’ve owned. Preordered mine and got it a month after release. Tailshaft let go on it unfortunately but replaced under warranty. Apart from that hasn’t missed a beat. I drive it hard as well..
I actually found the system to be a little lacklustre. The sound clarity is great. But found it doesn’t go that loud. Hit 30 and kinda felt like “is that it”. But I love my raptor 😂
@@TyFenwick for those after work rock days letting some frustrations out. Lol I still do like it though oddly.. the sound is clear I guess so maybe it sacrifices it
Mine is now 11.5 months with just over 18'000km and still loving it. Only gripe that you mentioned that I agree with is the tub that is not dust prove. The rest does no really bother me. I see you don't have the 230v Power outlet in the back like mine has. Not that it is that useful as it is only 450w, but atleast you can charge some batteries and stuff while driving.
Nice honest video mate! I have to agree with the seats, they look mint but on long drives I feel like I can never get comfy in them and tend to get a sore lower back... Its almost like they need an additional memory foam/comfort layer.
Great vid mate. My raptor is 7 months old. About 3 months in I started hearing a rattle coming from the exhaust on cold starts. Lasting about 20secs until the idle drops. I flagged it with Ford and they told me it was a “characteristic of the car”. The rattle got worse to the point you could hear it driving around town. I took it back and they now agreed that it doesn’t sound normal. They just replaced the muffler today and it’s back sounding like the day I got it. No rattle what so ever. They also had me sit in another raptor that they had on the lot to show me that it also has a rattle when starting it cold. I’m kinda feeling like I’ll be back in a few months with the same issue. Curious to know if anyone else has had this same problem with an exhaust rattle?
Hi mate. So all was great for a couple of months.. But now the rattle is back the same as before unfortunately. It started off faint but it’s now obvious again for the first 20secs or so on a cold start just like before. I’ll be taking it back to them again as soon as I get time. I don’t know a great deal about mufflers but apparently these have some kind of valve inside (possibly on a hinge) that opens and shuts and that is what’s failing and causing a rattle during a cold idle?! Pretty disappointing really. Not to mention Apple Car Play only working 50% of the time. I’m told all ford customers are experiencing this? I’ve also got some rust on a canopy fitting that I’ll be showing them.. I do love my raptor believe it or not im just a bit bummed about these issues. Hopefully it can all get sorted
nice to see mate, as for ford performance stuff , they have the same engine setup in the usa in the bronco raptor , whipple do a intercooler upgrade same as herrod, i have a fenix intercooler and a wholesale automatic trans cooler , also check out the jb4 bronco raptor upgrade out of the usa
i agree when i get mine i'm taking itinto deathvalley when the world record temp will be broken, ac seats would be nice i predict in the next 5 years it'll hit 135 degrees there as cali goes into another superdrought, overall that ranger is a badass truck certainly the best in the midsize class
V8s are overrated???, man this is a stupid statement, the performance potential from a V8 is huge & they don’t sound like a busted fart. A coyote with a nice little blower pumping out around 400- 450 kws would have me sold.
A v8 in this wouldnt be great as weight and to get the horse power you will need to spend near 20k to fit a blower . V8 is just noise, dont get me wrong i love v8s but performance suck unless a lot of money spend where these come with turbochargers and kick ass, i bet you have a v8 but get beaten but people all the time in races.
Great vidoe mate. With mine i am sitting at the 145k mark now and my hate is now the weight i added but this was reason to do get the bpt performance done witch i jave and its a animal again as helped with temps and transmission shifting is now smoother with better cooling and extra 2 litre of oil. But main hates i hated they have been fixed with accessories but tub sealing i have started on but haven't achieved yet.
Good video Ty. I put a ARB hard lid the aluminium type on the tub and had ARB mount a dual compressor and tank in the left hand rear quarter. I think it’s the most exciting dual cab on the market 👍🏼
Good review mate. I currently own the first gen but have driven the gen 2. I personally didnt see enough difference to make me want to change. The new tech stuff is amazing, but I personally find it a little annoying and prefer the physical buttons on the gen 1. I also prefer the gen 1 seats as I'm a slimmer guy and the bigger bolsters hold me better. The gen 2 ride with the live valve is definitely firmer than the gen 1, but it makes it a more stable platform on road, so I see why they went that way. The biggest thing though is that gen 2 motor. The first gen shouldve had that motor and I'm feeling severely horsepower deficient since driving the new one.
Mine is having powertrain issues. Been at ford for 3 weeks now. Might have bad trans or diff. They gave me a new wildtrak in the meantime and it's nice for a daily driver. They told me they will have the car for a while but they are keeping quiet on what's really wrong wuth it at the moment for some reason.
Hate all my AC seats, they are just too loud. 100% agree that Ford Performance should be more involved in the upgrades especially for factory warranty issues. Miss my Gen 3 Raptor, Love my F250 Full Carli Build, looking hard at the Raptor Ranger.
Still waiting for the 2 door space cab with suicide doors, it will look like a proper baja racer then and I’d be interested. Plus I would like to see an alloy tray back Ford!!!
The Ford Ranger Raptor & Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 are the best mid size trucks on the market … nothing is even close to them. Toyota Tacoma is a distant 3rd & then Nissan Frontier. Toyota does benefit from a large following & the cookie cutter no frills approach makes sense. If basic A to B transport is your thing, then a boring Toyota is your ticket.
Ford range is really killing it.i was looking at the raptor but decided to buy the wildtrack x instead. I just wanted something a little less thirsty as a daily and the fact raptor can only tow 2500kg if it was 3500kg towing would have bought it. Im very happy with mine, but I still wonder if i should have gone the raptor when i put the foot down, lol.
Sat in one the other day, agree the seats are a major issue. Look nice but feel cheap and just not enjoyable to sit in, I was stuck to them after 30 seconds being fake leather. Look at what VW have come out with in their new dual cab. The red fake leather splashes on the seats really cheapens it also.
Yeah I’m sure there’s a bunch of pros and cons towards anything. I guess my point is just coming from a safety aspect what could be done if you want to drive it hard and fast on a track. What could ford do to make it safer ? Bolt in Ford Performance cage ? Ie harnesses etc.
Love it! Just wish I could get it with the optional fold out flat work surface of the front center console available in the F150's. I agree about the 35's.
Ranger raptor 23 from Argentina here (25K kms). In my view you missed the biggest shortcoming and that is the 80ltr tank. Way to small for Argentina at least, long distances between (reliable) fuel stations, and if in the mountains (sometimes over 4000 mtr high passes) Often you don't reach the next fuel station. If you don't wont to use the jerrycans (5 x 20 ltrs), then often you should not drive faster than 60 kms /h from petrol station to the next one (A Duster does that better!). The other thing that never worked in my raptor is the wifi connection. (after an software upgrade it works now at random. Ford Argentina has no solution. Apart form the tank capacity, I agree on the AC seats, this is a must along with a decent action radius.
mate, i dont have a lot of time for american trucks because where i live (country vic) they are massive and dont fit anywhere and everyone who owns one doesnt tow or go out bush (where they wont always fit) but all this being said i loved the review and youve changed my mind if i had the need for a yanky truck i think this would be the one
An Honest review My last Ford was in 1997, a top line Fairlane. As you I loved the car for its ergos 18:17 and driveability. But it was a warranty build disaster. The day after warranty finished with still issues Ford dropped me like a hot cake. Thinking about it in the years following I have spent over $500,000 towards other brands. I am about to buy an American tow vehicle. I thought about the ,F series Ford. My heart said yes but my head said NO I have decided on a Dodge Ram Laramie 2500 Cummins.
If that's your experience mate that sucks. However in the American truck market the F-series should be your only choice in my opinion. I've spent a lot of years in the US and F-series is top of the bunch.
just watched your video thanks. Noticed that you left out how you modified the hood assist lift instead of the manual strut. Could you make a video on how and what parts you used. Thanks from up over
I'm waiting for my Ranger Raptor to finish being build here in America... where can i get that aftermarket intake it looks exactly like i want and no American brands have even started making parts yet
Yeah it’s just when a lot of cars are coming at you it drops the high beam and wigs out a bit. But then people think your flashing them with your high beam lights 😂
Im supposed to get mine within the next 3 weeks...i cant wait...im in central canada and want the heated steering wheel the most haha...been getting diffrent ideas from different reviews...very good review 👌
My wife got hers 2024 RR about 3 weeks ago. (shelter green). It’s 405hp. My question is, is your engine governed to a different hp than here in the states?
Hey Ty love your channel just have a question. Can you put Baha exhaust mode on in 2WD. I just got my 2024 Raptor so still trying to figure it out. Cheers 👍
Brother….i have liked and subscribed to your channel here from USA. I believe we’ve chatted through comments. I want to add eibachs and 35’s on 17x9 -15 beadlocks. And we don’t have Herrod…but Hennessey has got a 500hp tune with warranty will do for me!
I got the 24 raptor on order and the dealer marked it up 9k and I could just get a 23 tremor with everything for the same cost would you say that I should stick with the ranger raptor or go with a fully loaded 23 f150 tremor?
I need some advice, I bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor from Ford Dubai with 10k Km, it seems the leather steering wheel is always sticky in my hands, not sure what to use to get this issue sorted.
Hello from Southern California!!! Watched and liked all your Ranger Raptor videos. Great logical, down-to-earth, commentary. I love our US version of the '24 RR. Thanks for mentioning the rear seat room. It's my major concern. My girls are 10 & 14, so we'll have to check how the back seats work for them. My I ask how tall are you? I'm 5'9"(175.26cm). Want 24 RR, but wife would frown on having to fold the girls in half every time we all climb in.!!😂
Hey mate ! Thanks for watching. My daughter is 12 and she fit in fine, I’d say if you have 6ft blokes in front and back it’s going to be tight 😂👍🏼 I’m 5,11
Gday Ty noticed you have installed the arb fridge slide … did it fit ok in the tub with the alignment of the ribs in the bed ?? And what actual size is it cheers 👍🏻 great looking truck
Hi mate, it’s the slide for the elements fridge I think they only make one for that fridge. I’ve got more coming in tub fit out videos,keep eye on the channel.
Even lap 3 point harness, anything’s better then being ejected from the vehicle. But that might be an option for raptor ? Bolt in cage for behind the seats from Ford performance ?
Glad I watched I wasn’t going to because it was about the raptor & I can’t get one even though there the best Ute because I’m driving around Oz towing a 2 Ton caravan & need diesel I have a 2021 ranger 2. L bi-turbo with a tray & toolbox & was thinking of up grading to a Sport with tub then U were talking about the tub issues with dust & that got me thinking me as I had a tub before & sealed it with expanding foam & fitted a rear dust seal kit took me all day & a lot of mess but dust still got in also U said no A/C seats this is another huge problem for the cost involved with these vehicles I looked @ the Everest has the ventilated / heated seats so might look @ it as there be no problem with dust with it keep up the great info 👍😎
I’m really eyeing the ranger raptor. I’ve had Toyotas all my life and I got a gladiator a few years ago and already hadn’t to replace the engine. I’ve heard about ford reliability issues in the past but is this ranger raptor a reliable daily driver.
Most of the points made are fixed in the f150 raptor and feel like ford can’t provided much more on ranger platform as when they do start brining the f150 raptor in makes them more appealing
my father bought one here in Georgia (the caucasus). itis a LHD version but with full 400HP. only thing that I can't wrap my mind around is that it doesn't have heated seats or steeering wheel. not sure it was at all possible with ranger raptor. I think the only exlpanation is it was built for arab countries and yeah, there they don't really need any heating...
It still amazes me that the "American Ford Motor Company" has opted to sell a Ford truck, especially a Raptor truck, in another country before they were willing to sell it here. They facelifted your trucks before ours. How does that make any sense?
Instant respect. A REAL review of the Ranger Raptor from someone who actually lived with the truck. Great job
Thanks for watching !!!
.. 'instant respect'... lol
F150 Raptor owner here. Be glad you don’t have the panoramic sunroof. They creek, pop, and the plastic tracks break - a liability when off-roading. The raptors here in the US without sunroofs are unicorns that are highly sought after.
Wow mate thanks for giving us the heads up ! Maybe we don’t want that then 😂👍🏼
They need a lesson from Hyundai and KIA. Their full moon roofs are quiet as
@@joshowens2062yea but those Kia and Hyundai vehicles aren’t going off road doing jumps.
It would also make your car heavier and louder. Did you consider sound deadening? 120km/h+ you hear the wind noise too much unfortunately @@TyFenwick
Love mine personally. Lived many years before having a Colorado with a basic roof and I think I’ll take my raptors panoramic any day

I love the Ford Ranger Raptor a lot
Would you trade your rear air vents in for the rear window?.. US models don’t have cold air at the back.
If it was not for those, my wife would have not let us get a Raptor again, as the Gen1 did not have those...🤣
I had a laugh, the day I drove one I also ordered one the same day
I think I still had the helmet on when I tried to call the dealership 📞
There is a mob that offers warranty upgrades for the raptor. Lot more power and supporting mods with warranty for 6k or so.

But main hates i hated they have been fixed with accessories but tub sealing i have started on but haven't achieved yet.
Ordering one next financial year once they have worked out all the kinks, should knock off a bit of tax 😅😅
Good video Ty. I put a ARB hard lid the aluminium type on the tub and had ARB mount a dual compressor and tank in the left hand rear quarter. I think it’s the most exciting dual cab on the market 👍🏼
I'm looking forward to putting in the ARB compressor mate .
As an owner myself, great review. Nice 35’s.
Good review mate. I currently own the first gen but have driven the gen 2. I personally didnt see enough difference to make me want to change. The new tech stuff is amazing, but I personally find it a little annoying and prefer the physical buttons on the gen 1. I also prefer the gen 1 seats as I'm a slimmer guy and the bigger bolsters hold me better. The gen 2 ride with the live valve is definitely firmer than the gen 1, but it makes it a more stable platform on road, so I see why they went that way. The biggest thing though is that gen 2 motor. The first gen shouldve had that motor and I'm feeling severely horsepower deficient since driving the new one.
The Gen 1 is still a great vehicle. One gets used to the power and not so much to the fuel consumption...
You had some good suggestions. I have never liked Fords, but I would really like to get the new Ranger Raptor.
Mine is having powertrain issues. Been at ford for 3 weeks now. Might have bad trans or diff. They gave me a new wildtrak in the meantime and it's nice for a daily driver. They told me they will have the car for a while but they are keeping quiet on what's really wrong wuth it at the moment for some reason.
Hate all my AC seats, they are just too loud. 100% agree that Ford Performance should be more involved in the upgrades especially for factory warranty issues. Miss my Gen 3 Raptor, Love my F250 Full Carli Build, looking hard at the Raptor Ranger.
Still waiting for the 2 door space cab with suicide doors, it will look like a proper baja racer then and I’d be interested. Plus I would like to see an alloy tray back Ford!!!
The Ford Ranger Raptor & Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 are the best mid size trucks on the market … nothing is even close to them. Toyota Tacoma is a distant 3rd & then Nissan Frontier.
Toyota does benefit from a large following & the cookie cutter no frills approach makes sense. If basic A to B transport is your thing, then a boring Toyota is your ticket.
The recaro seats out of an f150 Raptor (blue alcantara) or from the R (grey Alcantara recaro) would be sweet to try and fit….and have a/c option.
Ford range is really killing it.i was looking at the raptor but decided to buy the wildtrack x instead. I just wanted something a little less thirsty as a daily and the fact raptor can only tow 2500kg if it was 3500kg towing would have bought it. Im very happy with mine, but I still wonder if i should have gone the raptor when i put the foot down, lol.
My mate fit 35x12.5s straight on his first gen. Positive castor is all that was needed
Sat in one the other day, agree the seats are a major issue. Look nice but feel cheap and just not enjoyable to sit in, I was stuck to them after 30 seconds being fake leather. Look at what VW have come out with in their new dual cab. The red fake leather splashes on the seats really cheapens it also.
The issue with harnesses without a cage, in the event of a rollover and the roof caves in, you are stuck in position and cant move with the roof.
Yeah I’m sure there’s a bunch of pros and cons towards anything. I guess my point is just coming from a safety aspect what could be done if you want to drive it hard and fast on a track. What could ford do to make it safer ? Bolt in Ford Performance cage ? Ie harnesses etc.
@TyFenwick bro I would order 1 tomorrow if they were options.
Love it! Just wish I could get it with the optional fold out flat work surface of the front center console available in the F150's. I agree about the 35's.
Ranger raptor 23 from Argentina here (25K kms). In my view you missed the biggest shortcoming and that is the 80ltr tank. Way to small for Argentina at least, long distances between (reliable) fuel stations, and if in the mountains (sometimes over 4000 mtr high passes) Often you don't reach the next fuel station. If you don't wont to use the jerrycans (5 x 20 ltrs), then often you should not drive faster than 60 kms /h from petrol station to the next one (A Duster does that better!). The other thing that never worked in my raptor is the wifi connection. (after an software upgrade it works now at random. Ford Argentina has no solution.
Apart form the tank capacity, I agree on the AC seats, this is a must along with a decent action radius.
How many kms do you get to a tank?
Offroad, City and Highway (@ 120 kmh) abt 500 km, refueling with abt 70 ltrs. May squeeze 100 k more at 100 kmh. @@ClaytonCookpanda
mate, i dont have a lot of time for american trucks because where i live (country vic) they are massive and dont fit anywhere and everyone who owns one doesnt tow or go out bush (where they wont always fit) but all this being said i loved the review and youve changed my mind if i had the need for a yanky truck i think this would be the one
This isn’t an American truck mate, this is Ranger Raptor you can buy from any dealership in Aus. Also designed and engineered by Australia.
An Honest review
My last Ford was in 1997, a top line Fairlane. As you I loved the car for its ergos 18:17 and driveability. But it was a warranty build disaster. The day after warranty finished with still issues Ford dropped me like a hot cake.
Thinking about it in the years following I have spent over $500,000 towards other brands.
I am about to buy an American tow vehicle. I thought about the ,F series Ford. My heart said yes but my head said NO
I have decided on a Dodge Ram Laramie 2500 Cummins.
If that's your experience mate that sucks. However in the American truck market the F-series should be your only choice in my opinion. I've spent a lot of years in the US and F-series is top of the bunch.
AC seats would be good
Haha I like that you’ve built jumps on driveway
Are those the Toyo Open Country RT Trails? If so that’s what I got on my Silverado. Absolutely in love those tires!
Na these are the MTs mate 👍🏼
just watched your video thanks. Noticed that you left out how you modified the hood assist lift instead of the manual strut. Could you make a video on how and what parts you used. Thanks from up over
Check out my channel mate, all those videos are on there.
What's your wheel offset and any suspension mods?
Check out my channel mate. Loads of raptor mod videos there 👍🏼
What light r u using on the front bumper?
Lazer Lamp. Full video on my channel how to install.
The Ranger can't tow as much as the Hilux, is definitely more comfortable but I use my ute for work and play. Im keeping my Rouge for now.
I'm waiting for my Ranger Raptor to finish being build here in America... where can i get that aftermarket intake it looks exactly like i want and no American brands have even started making parts yet
Check out my channel for all Raptor mod videos and information
Fabulous fabrications have full intakes and snorkels.
US hear Gen3 Raptor. The auto beams work great here so suprised it doesn't work as well.
Yeah it’s just when a lot of cars are coming at you it drops the high beam and wigs out a bit. But then people think your flashing them with your high beam lights 😂
you can get a herrod upgrade done to the engine that is covered by ford
We are planning on it !
Im supposed to get mine within the next 3 weeks...i cant wait...im in central canada and want the heated steering wheel the most haha...been getting diffrent ideas from different reviews...very good review 👌
Thanks for watching mate ! Share with your friends
My wife got hers 2024 RR about 3 weeks ago. (shelter green). It’s 405hp. My question is, is your engine governed to a different hp than here in the states?
I think our HP in Australia was 396 from memory.
I have diesel Raptor and I really love that car😊
Thanks for watching
Awesome review man, loved it! Where did you get your car mats from?
Hey mate !
Thanks for watching, they are from 3D MAXTRAC FLOOR MATS 👍🏼
will those front shock perch risers fit US spec? great video, got mine on order. We are waiting patiently for them to become available.
I’m sure the shocks will be the same. Would need to check once they hit dealerships
What brand spoties did you install on the front grill? Is the grill custom made or did you purchase a new front grill. Awesome rig dude!
Check out my channel mate, I have a video on there with Lazer lamp lights and other mods I’ve done to the Raptor 👍🏼
Another awesome video mate, looking forward to watching the future mods on the raptor 🍻🍻
Thanks for watching !
Great Reveiw with some really great points. I couldn't dissagree with anything you mentioned.
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Hey Ty love your channel just have a question. Can you put Baha exhaust mode on in 2WD. I just got my 2024 Raptor so still trying to figure it out. Cheers 👍
yes you can mate. watch my shorts video on R-mode.
Will do thanks Mate👍
cool video man did the fuel guage and new tank ever sort its self out?
Need to wait for a Ford update. Gauge works but DTE only goes up to 580ks range.
Thanks for reply man all the best from ireland@@TyFenwick
@@TyFenwick 580ks? My tank doesn’t last that long with my heavy foot;)
Why did u sell the other raptor?
Business investment at the time.
Brother….i have liked and subscribed to your channel here from USA. I believe we’ve chatted through comments. I want to add eibachs and 35’s on 17x9 -15 beadlocks. And we don’t have Herrod…but Hennessey has got a 500hp tune with warranty will do for me!
Thanks so much for watching mate !
Yes. Its sucks not having the sunroof
Apparently they suck from few f150 owners in the comments on Raptor
I got the 24 raptor on order and the dealer marked it up 9k and I could just get a 23 tremor with everything for the same cost would you say that I should stick with the ranger raptor or go with a fully loaded 23 f150 tremor?
What wheels tyres did you put on it? Thanks
even a great wall canon gets a tailgate step, wish we had that yank blue here
I need some advice, I bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor from Ford Dubai with 10k Km, it seems the leather steering wheel is always sticky in my hands, not sure what to use to get this issue sorted.
I have same issue. Also in Dubai. I'm thinking of changing the leather on the steering wheel to aftermarket. I guess leather quality is not great
Hello from Southern California!!!
Watched and liked all your Ranger Raptor videos. Great logical, down-to-earth, commentary.
I love our US version of the '24 RR.
Thanks for mentioning the rear seat room. It's my major concern. My girls are 10 & 14, so we'll have to check how the back seats work for them.
My I ask how tall are you? I'm 5'9"(175.26cm).
Want 24 RR, but wife would frown on having to fold the girls in half every time we all climb in.!!😂
Hey mate !
Thanks for watching. My daughter is 12 and she fit in fine, I’d say if you have 6ft blokes in front and back it’s going to be tight 😂👍🏼
I’m 5,11
Gday Ty noticed you have installed the arb fridge slide … did it fit ok in the tub with the alignment of the ribs in the bed ?? And what actual size is it cheers 👍🏻 great looking truck
Hi mate, it’s the slide for the elements fridge I think they only make one for that fridge. I’ve got more coming in tub fit out videos,keep eye on the channel.
@@TyFenwick ok mate thanks for the reply good content the videos you’ve been putting out on the raptor keep em comin👌🏻
Do they have ranger raptor in the US or just th f150 raptor?
Yes just launched last week in US
5 point harness are for roll cage builds. Your neck would snap in half if you had a roll over with no roll cage and 5 point harnesses.
Even lap 3 point harness, anything’s better then being ejected from the vehicle. But that might be an option for raptor ? Bolt in cage for behind the seats from Ford performance ?
you can put 35s on it my mate did it to his brand new one with a ford leveling kit
As long as he never turns under suspension compression. Other wise he will rip off the mud flaps.
Glad I watched I wasn’t going to because it was about the raptor & I can’t get one even though there the best Ute because I’m driving around Oz towing a 2 Ton caravan & need diesel I have a 2021 ranger 2. L bi-turbo with a tray & toolbox & was thinking of up grading to a Sport with tub then U were talking about the tub issues with dust & that got me thinking me as I had a tub before & sealed it with expanding foam & fitted a rear dust seal kit took me all day & a lot of mess but dust still got in also U said no A/C seats this is another huge problem for the cost involved with these vehicles I looked @ the Everest has the ventilated / heated seats so might look @ it as there be no problem with dust with it keep up the great info 👍😎
I’m really eyeing the ranger raptor. I’ve had Toyotas all my life and I got a gladiator a few years ago and already hadn’t to replace the engine. I’ve heard about ford reliability issues in the past but is this ranger raptor a reliable daily driver.
Can you just add the seats from the platinum in as an aftermarket mod?
Might be able to not sure
Most of the points made are fixed in the f150 raptor and feel like ford can’t provided much more on ranger platform as when they do start brining the f150 raptor in makes them more appealing
my father bought one here in Georgia (the caucasus). itis a LHD version but with full 400HP. only thing that I can't wrap my mind around is that it doesn't have heated seats or steeering wheel. not sure it was at all possible with ranger raptor. I think the only exlpanation is it was built for arab countries and yeah, there they don't really need any heating...
Regarding space in the rear seats... how tall are you? Thanks.
I’m about 180cm just under 6ft
What rims are those
Method race wheels
What’s that antenna you have on that ?? Is not a cell phone booster ??
We boost antenna
Does the perch kit spacers or spring lift void warranty?
It still amazes me that the "American Ford Motor Company" has opted to sell a Ford truck, especially a Raptor truck, in another country before they were willing to sell it here. They facelifted your trucks before ours. How does that make any sense?
Ranger & Ranger Raptor was engineered and developed by Ford Australia 🇦🇺 not America 🇺🇸 that’s why you get it later then us.
Are the seats heated?
Yes 👍🏼
Only v8 that was woth it was the 454 4 barrel qudro jet . U could cruz 40 mph floor it and still smoke them tires.
Excellent review 👍❤️🇬🇧
I agree with the AC seats that was some BS.
