Fun Fact: They use those trucks to guard Area 51!!
I find it funny that any high school kid with a wrench can go to a wrecking yard pick up an LS Chevy clean it up call Edelbrock for a carb conversion and a MSD crank trigger and be putting out 500hp in a weekend. Hell I have short bed Chevy with a gen1 roller and a set of Vortec heads that puts out 400 that I let anyone use if they need it. As for the 4x4 unit those aren't worth spit unless your just using it on a smooth gravel road. Don't get me started on what junk those Raptors are and how they suck morons in. I subscribe to the idea there is no 1 perfect car so you need 15. I did just get a deal on an FJ Cruiser last week (my first Toy) guess Scotty got into my brain. We will see how it works out. Not as fast as my early Bronco (my only Ford and more or less retired) but it sure rides better. I had to rip out all the suspension and steering on that Ford because the design is so dangerous and unpredictable. Built not bought is the only way to beat the car industry.
What's your take on Holden starting to shutdown Scotty? They're pulling out of NZ & Aussie entirely by 2021, seems other locations will follow.
Scotty, Scotty, Scotty, who's that honey walking through your shot at the 2:00 mark?
Scotty what do you think of the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe? Should I buy it?
Got my 2014 Raptor in 2017, 2nd hand owner at 70K miles. Haven’t had a single hiccup in literally 3 years and it’s still a blast 👍🏻
How many miles does she have now? Still no issues?
Remarkable , keep on taking care of it .
I'm trying to get a raptor.should I get one
70k miles though? Nah fam
@@DavyDave1313 Not bad. Most Fords go up to 150 K without issue, and with proper preventative maintenance and checkups , you can make it last longer. My family has a home in upstate NY and there are several folks out there driving trucks from the late 90s.
Thats Scotty's daughter, asking mom why dad is talking to himself again....
Her name is Jessica Kilmer. Search her up people.
Not gonna lie, got a bit distracted when she walked through
Wrong... Did some fact check. According to Famous birthdays it states "He and his wife Leslie have two sons named Riley and Wyeth" (famousbirthdays.com)

@Andrew priteanu:--In a man's life...........only welcome distraction on a busy day...please do it again tomorrow dear ...perhaps I'll be ready this time around.....do it.
I have a 2012 Raptor that I use to prerun/chase in Baja. It has 183K miles and it has been a great truck. Zero major issues. I do maintain it well, but also drive it hard off off road. Great truck 👍🏼
We had a customer come in with his Raptor for a hard ride and a rattle in the front end. The truck was still under basic warranty so I wrote it up as a warranty concern. When the tech checked it out, he found one of the front shocks collapsed and the truck was beat up underneath, obviously it had been jumped. At that time Ford was asking us to call the tech hotline for suspension concerns before doing repairs. We figured since the truck had clearly been jumped/off-roaded/abused that the repair would not be covered and the estimate for repair was about $1000.00
To our surprise, Ford said to do the repair under warranty because that's what they built the truck to do. Of course, they wanted the old part back for parts analysis.
I was impressed. And it was the only Raptor I've seen since then that had a blown shock.
You just said the magic word, dependability. That's why I bought a new 2012 F-150 5.0L 4X4 and it's the best truck I've owned.
5.0 is a good engine
Kamal AL-Hinai my expedition has one in it
Kamal AL-Hinai ford makes 2 variants of the 5.0. The one in the truck isn’t the same as the mustang.
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai My 5,0L engine is fitted with different intake cams and different cam timing for a lower torque range and for pulling. A Mustang 5.0L has different cams for speed.
Kamal AL-Hinai google can help u out.
2:00 "I'm here to pick up a free product from leaving a non offensive comment on a video"
Forgot the clean part!
A free pickup truck.
6:43, Mileage is a relative thing. Hense the reason why I bought a 94 Celica with 335,000 highway miles on it for $600.00 and it still runs GREAT!
So basically you bought a Celica that just passed it's break in period.
You have learned well lizard king.
No you did not
I got a 2012 Rap SCab. I absolutely love this truck, my 2012 has literally the same mileage on the clock as this one Scotty is talking up. If you buy a Raptor be aware, the suspension is not cheap, Fox recommends their shocks be rebuilt at 50k miles. Just to give you an idea, I sent a pair of front shocks only to Fox and it was $500 plus shipping them to Cali. Fox has top notch customer service BTW. Always ask when the shocks were rebuilt if ever, and check the skid plates. jumpers gash up the skids on the Raps I've been around. The 6.2L is a beaut.
50k miles... but the question is what KIND of miles? 50k of off-roading miles? I kinda doubt they would need to be rebuilt with 50k highway miles. 🤔
So at 100k miles it should be replaced
Agreed on the shocks. The Fox shocks are great performers but both of my used Gen 1 raptors had bad shocks at purchase. Recently did the exchange program with forged off-road and the rebuilt shocks didn’t even last 1k miles. I decided to go with new gen 2 shocks and couldn’t be happier. Gen 1 shocks just don’t hold up and you’re lucky to get 50k out of them. Still couldn’t be happier with the Raptor and could care less about cost of ownership.
2:02 Neighbor lady knows your wife's on vacation, Scotty...
LOL 😂 she wants him to check out her motor
Scotty is about to have an oil leak
She came over for an oil check
she wanted to see if scottys trans could go into overdrive for her
Hit that Scotty ! Take the blue pill and thank me later... :)
I think you don’t care about gas millage when you get a raptor lol
The 6.2 V8 is a good motor. Had one in an F250 and it had 200k on it when I sold it. Zero issues.
Yes, much better than the POS 5.4 Triton V8. I've seen those 6.2s with over 350k miles, like my dad's old friend who has one in his F250 with 480k and going, vs my aunt who had 3 F150s when I was a kid, all 3 had 5.4s, none of them lasted even 120k before they exploded.
Oh Yeah brother and it's a million times better than the 5.4L SOHC 2V and 3V Triton V8s.
@@hunterhippensteel I'm sure even the new 7.3L Godzilla V8 will definitely outlast the 2V and 3V Triton V8s as well as any EcoBoost engine.
6.2 is so reliable
Raptor is my dream truck. One day I hope to have one 🤞🏾
Well, the Raptor seems to be the truck-of-choice among "the camo dudes" that guard Area 51's base perimeter....
I wonder if they auction those trucks off when they get old. It would be cool to have an area51 raptor. 😆

Yeap that gonna take 2 days plus another day so i can make a video about it telling people why not buy it.
I automatically"LIKE" all of Scotty's videos......He's the Man!
I have the gen 2 Raptor and it’s great. Better in all ways to my old v8 except for the engine sound. Sold my old one in 45 minutes for $7500 more than trade in.
These trucks hold their value like no other domestic vehicle on the road.
I've been watching scotty for years. I now fully understand that everything is a endless money pit!!
home of corporate dog sh
Even I'm a endless money pit. 😂😂😂
@SC EM no way, there is no other country in the world like america.
My girl friend is a endless money pit,I think a endless money pit truck is a lot less stressful
Mines a 2010 and I'm averaging 13mpg. I purchased it with 83k miles back in November from the Ford dealership where it was originally purchased. It's a one owner (she was 68years old) and she traded it in for something smaller! Never seen dirt and had less than 9k miles a year put on her! I paid $27,401
How are you liking it 2 years later? I'm looking at a 2010 with 60k miles for 27k
I drive 2018 F150 Raptor with 212 CID twon turbo has 450HP, 512 torque and gets 18mpg mixed driving regular gas. When I play hard, it eats premium gas, when I tow near max it eats premium gas; so does any other Ford Performance vehicle. Mine (a super cab) is shorter than one shown and much lighter, but heavier and beefier frame with aluminun body. New, they are going for about 70 large now and dealers rarely cut any deals on them. I did get a great trade price for my Platinum 2013. The comfort and technolog is tops and resale, if not beat all to hell,is great too.

@@willlisf Ok doofus
Yeah, 28 US Marines pulling up in black Ford Raptor trucks, Helicopters Landed, Ram Ranch, under siege, under lockdown.
I've got a 2010 Raptor SVT that's stock. It has the 6.2 V8 and I have a fuel saving sticker that really helps with my overall gas milage. It says "Not Fast, Just Loud" I get around 13.7 mpg on average 😁
There's a reason why Ford has sold the most full size pick ups for 43 years and the Raptir is one good reason why. An off road vehicle that was specifically designed for off roading. Yeah the V8's were the best ones, but unless you are off roading a lot on your property on the weekends, the Raptor isn't really a city driving vehicle.

I own a Gen 1 and really it depends on how you take care of your toys.
The "endless money pit" for me is the mods such as lighting, suspension,
wheels, overland/ bugout builds, or if you're willing to spend a
little, put in a Whipple supercharger. But I'll tell you what, you may
have a 10 year old truck compared to everyone else, but you won't care
because every time you turn the key the smile on your face will speak
speak for itself.
Raptor resale shows people dont care theyre 10 years old haha around here even with 100k they dont come cheap, nice trucks
And, Gen 1.. 2010 thru 2014 are STILL the best L👀king truck.
TORSEN gears in front Diff starting in 2012👍
I really want one of these trucks. But they keep their resale value extremely well. So even finding a cheap used one isn't cheap. They still sell for good money. But I love them. I love all the raptors.
I bought my 2012 Raptor in November. Got mine from Carvana. Actually gonna make a video and talk about my experience with Carvana and some crazy stuff that came out of getting the truck from them. I love my truck, would recommend the Raptor to anyone who knows how to take care of one.

Raptors appreciate rather than depreciate so how can it not be worth making money?

Ford: They come like that, "distressed" from the factory...
What Scotty will say:
It's an endless money pit
Life is an endless money pit
Love to have a used Raptor.
Chevy 350 will run forever as long as you dont run it hard too often even then they hold up pretty well.
they can be 90% spent and still start and get you where you need to be.
One of the most fun trucks ever, and I personally would highly recommend it.
That Raptor gets 1 MPG less than my 2010 150 STX 4X4, BFG KOs I have a 2 1/2 inch level kit, Ruff country with one inch black for the rear... zero problems with my 150 that’s ten years old. That said man the performance you get with this Raptor wins! Besides the price. Mines paid off soooo it’s reliable and I use it as a truck when I want. Yup keeping my 150 fo life. Btw I use a Ford Focus 2012 manual hatch titanium, 170K only changed rotors, battery. I bought the focus 140k miles ago.
At 2:00, a neighbor wants to borrow Scotty's Celica for a JOY ride. "What the HECK!"
That woman was like, "why is that man talking to himself?" :D
I owned a 2013 SVT Raptor Super Cab, and had 3 issues. The fuse pump issue which is a $30 dollar fix and 25 mins of your time. The second was replacing the ball joints and shocks. The first owner did a lot of off-roading so those needed to be replaced at 45k miles. After those were replaced, it was back to normal. The third and largest issue was the torque converter went out and I had to have the transmission rebuilt. That was $3600. This thing was a beast and I’m looking at getting another one but this time one that wasn’t beat on.
Amazing timing. I literally just bought a 2014 this weekend. And we absolutely love it!
The V8 was only available during the first few years. The V8 and V6 were never offered together. They now use an updated version of the Ecoboost 3.5L V6. It does not get better fuel economy than the V8. In theory it could. But because of it's weight the Raptor is always getting into boost because the Turbos are very small and spool very quickly. They never offered a N/A V6 in the Raptor either. It has always been the 3.5 ecoboost from 2017 to now, everything before 2017 was either a 5.4 V8 or 6.2 V8.
Exactly mate.
I like to puff on the Cannabis Cigar and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.

2:01 human sighting!
I've always wondered about this truck. Thanks for the info.
My 6.2 v8 in my 2012 f250 has 190,000 miles and still runs great. The 6.2 was originally designed for the Raptors.
B.k. Greg how much does it cost to fill up your gas tank? I live in California considering getting one 🤔
gg
@@joseguzman928 I live in ohio, about 60 dollars if empty. I think it has a 30 or 32 gallon tank. My old 2000 model super duty had a 40 gal. Tank. Gas here now is about 2.30 a gallon. I have visited California, a great place to visit, I would really not want to live there. Have a great day.
@Lassi Kinnunen The 6.2 in the 2012 super duty has 385 h.p. It looks like the same engine in Scottys video, it is just tuned different, so less h.p., probably could be upgraded to match h.p. in Raptor, but like Scotty said, who wants that bad a gas mileage. My truck also has the 6 speed transmission, and is set up for hauling. This truck gets as good a gas mileage as my 2000 super duty got with a 5.4 triton V8 with only about 265 h.p. The 6.2 is an engine that compares to the V10 that was an option in older superdutys, but they were gas hogs.
I bought 2011 raptor(my dream truck)
Love it runs strong and my daily.

who didn't? ~crickets~
The only truck I actually want. Not a truck guy but I love the raptor look.
My father in law bought his raptor in 2014, he drove it good took care of it. properly got all maintenance done. the truck has 170k miles drives fantastic. just little plastic breaks here in there that can easily be replaced.
the 6.2 L v8 is a GREAT engine, have a super duty with one in it
No replacement for displacement🔥🔥😉
R AJ Wont last as long as a naturally aspirated V8.
Matt Law not necessarily true. There are plenty of Ecoboost trucks with over 200k miles still going strong with little maintenance.
@@mattlaw8020 I totally agree brother.
@R J I agree but they sure won't outlast the engines in the 92-96 Ford TRUCKS.
Picked up a 2011 with 80k miles with all the rocker panels completely redone and the underside coated. I love it.
Love how he put Obama on the screen when he said rip-off 😂😂 so true
@2:00 that woman was here for the Celica listing from Craigslist
2:00 Scotty's Garage is turning into Scotty's Hotel when this video ends😂😂
Scotty needs to release merch that says "I drove it like a lunatic".
I think I would buy and wear is merch.
I just got a 14' Ford Raptor a few months ago with 100k miles. Best truck ever. Just worrying about when anything in the engine or suspension breaks $$$$$$$
6.2L is very reliable
There are 16 spark plugs
Were yours ever replaced?
Change all fluids: front Diff; rear Diff; transfer case; transmission oil filter & pan oil. Not total trans oil. Antifreeze & brake fluid.
Shocks can be rebuilt for a cost savings.
I was SO scared by that APP ANNOUNCEMENT, THE NOISE!!! HAHAHAAHAHA
2:00 her: “just want to come home and not hear mr coco talking and throwing his hands up at a camera about random cars that end up in his driveway”
1:04 "does has coolers up the WAZOO"- Kilmer lol
The Raptor is my dream car.
You mentioned the turbos on the newer Raptors, I actually don't think Ford offers their new generation Raptor without the turbo. And I don't think there's been much improvement in luxury or off-road technology over the past 5 years. So as long as it hasn't been beat to hell, buying a used one is probably the better option.
There's a big difference between
Gen 1(2010-2014) & Gen 2 (2017-present) in technology improvements
No Raptors for 2015 & 2016
But, Gen 1 is better looking 😆
Finally, something I can literally af *Ford*
I see what you did there 😎
2011 6.2 V8.....10.3 MPG, drove up North and managed to get 12 MPG
Chad Coleman my 98 Dodge Ram 1500 getting way more better gas mileage lol
Ricky Davis, is that with a spare transmission in the bed?
Harley Jackson lol good one Dodge build a good transmission people don’t maintain them right ford transmission is not great neither lol
I have never had a problem with any transmission in any Ford truck that I have ever owned!
@@harleyjackson5513 I have
Definitely a vehicle you’d want to buy new. First of all, they have a very small depreciation curve, so you’re not going to save much by buying used. Second, they’re usually bought by younger guys who beat the hell out of them.
I always wondered if the off road capabilities were really worth it. Pickup trucks in general are great for dirt roads, as long as the roads aren't so bad I can see a regular F-150 working pretty fine
For normal off road stuff, a regular F150 would be fine. The raptor does have a high end suspension for sure! Just the shocks on the new one would cost over 6k to go try and buy a set.
@@No_nonsense302 so go buy a regular F150, spend $6k on better shocks than what the Raptor comes with, and you have a Raptor for half the price
@@JacesOwnWorld its not that easy of cheap. The Raptor has a long travel suspension, a regular truck has about 6 inches of travel the Raptor has 13-14 inches. Besides the Raptor has an electronic locker in the rear and a torsen limited slip up front, the first gen Raptor has a 6.2l that makes more hp and torque than a regular truck. Adding just shocks to a truck doesnt make it as good as a raptor, you would need to replace the front suspension with long travel components which require widers lower and upper arms and longer axles and also widen the rear and replace the rear leafs with deavers. Trust me, by the time you did that, you will have spent tons of money. Just get a raptor instead. Lol
2:00 apparently the Raptor attracts pretty women as well 🤣🤣🤣
It sure does buddy, especially in Mexico 😎
Gothic Chicks Dig Sport Mode!
Another reason to get one xD
Endless money pit. Don't waste your time.
I mean, look at it

"Hey Scotty. I'm here to pick up my Rap...
Nevermind. He's still filming"
The lady passing by was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Two main things to look out for. Broken valve springs and plugged cats. Mostly at really high miles...
I'm at over 160k on mine and have seen the 6.2 in the super duties go over 300k miles.
I like the 2010 truck so much that I'm doing a forged reciprocating motor, built up transmission, rebuilt T-case and newer front differential with the trutrac.
When raptor sales ever dip thats when they’ll make a simple V8 version
Definitely starting to like big 4wd trucks more as I get older. But considering a Lexus next.
I'm a chevy guy , but I really like these raptors. I'll be getting my hands on one soon .
Send me ur old Chevy then I need a car but do not hv now
