Ford hat, hoonigan shirt, and edgy water from a can, this is exactly how I pictured raptor owners
Monster energy*
I almost read that like a Rancid- Time Bomb song
Fox decal on rear window
"edgy water from a can"
Do you mean Liquid Death?
Tbh it's pretty good, plus aluminum is far more recyclable and environmentally friendly than plastic bottles are or ever will be.
Forgot about the tribal tattoo
Ford Raptor: Kyle, are you okay? You've hardly even punched your drywall
Kyle! If you don’t punch your drywall, I’m taking away your bench press!
this is why i read RUclips comments god dammit lmao
There's starving kids in Africa that don't even have drywall, Kyle.
💀
Kyle…hey bud…just take alill sippy sip of your monster bud; you’ll be back to your old self arguing with your parents in no time!
Having grown up in Pennsylvania, I totally get your story about the towns. I had a friend who was a sheriff's deputy who had to accompany the sheriff into one of those towns to arrest one of them on rape charges. They got to the town line in the police car where they met the family of the guy who had done the crime. The sheriff spoke to what you might call the patriarch, who told him to come back in 24 hours and he could have his man. They came back in 24 hours and found him drowned in a creek.
They didn't want strangers in the town, and if this was the price they had to pay to ensure that even law enforcement didn't come in, then so be it.
Just wow 😲
And here, us europeans thought "Deliverance" is made up stereotypical fiction...
@@AlfaGiuliaQV The political advisor James Carville rightly said "Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in the middle."
Oh...he's talking about "those" towns. I thought he was talking about normal small rural towns. Yeah screw those places. I don't have enough ammo to go through one of those towns.
Gotta give them credit for handling their own business. Justice is ultimately served, and taxpayer $$$ don't have to be wasted on a trial and incarceration. We need more towns like this.
Have had a 1st gen for 5 years now. My wife 100% enjoys the safe feeling you were getting at. I enjoy this vehicle because it always answers "sure let's do it" to whatever you want from it. Want to haul things and tow things, sure. Want tons of interior space so your not smashed into your adventure vehicle, sure. Want to go down that trail or un maintained dirt road, sure. Want to do that at more then a crawl, sure. There's a blizzard outside, should we go do that thing, sure let's do it. I enjoy that this truck is never the reason you can't, or shouldn't, do something with your vehicle.
Yup, i’ve taken mine down to Baja Mexico 🇲🇽, Glammis, Ocotillo , Snow storm , Rain, Mud , 80mph on dirt roads , steep hill and declines. it handles like a champ
There's one reason you didn't mention. I paid a lot of money for it, so while I'm willing to do that when needs arise, outside of actual necessity, it's getting babied.
Beyond that I 100% agree. I love my 2014 SVT.
RCR: "i can't believe we don't get press cars"
Also RCR: "the preview pic for this week's video says 'HOT GARBAGE'"
That's why you never trust reviewers that get 'press cars'
Yeah, you gotta sell out.
I also don’t trust reviewers that build their brand on how hilariously they can trash everything they review - tho it is entertaining
@@AB-308 But he likes the truck.
@@davidj4662 not true at all.
I think the thing he hates most about it is how much he likes it.
Yeah, you can feel his preteniousness shaking against how he likes it
Mr Regular wants to shit on everything popular so when he encounters something like this he has a really confused experience
@@roddydykes7053 Its called being based roddy, you wouldn't get it
@@CountDVB pReTenTiOuSNeSzs
He prolly likes it Bc his town is prolly half bro dozers and it feels nice to not be the smallest car for a change.
"You ain't from around here, are ya?"
My mother was born in East Liverpool Ohio on the Penn. border. We only went to visit her hometown once in the 18 years I grew up with her, and she hadn't been home all together in 30 years or so anyway. The above quote is why she hated going back. She was born somewhere where if you don't fit in, it's best you move on through to the next major little town.
Still crazy to me how they took a stock Raptor to the Baja 1000 multiple times and finishes. Say what you want but that is impressive.
This is what happens when a company gives the consumer what they want.
Honestly, my biggest gripe with it is that every time you go in the car, you have to turn the auto start-stop off. I mean you can fix this with a relay switch, but you shouldn't have to.
@@jd9119 Not all cars have that, some "remembers" the last setting however I think recently EURO NCAP tests (or law, idk) started requiring this to be automatically turned back on.
@@jd9119 It's the same in any modern car...not Ford's fault tho.
So when are we getting Car for Homer?
Haha, spot on :D
Over the years of watching RCR, I know more about Mr Regular's fears, projections, assumptions, and insecurities than I know facts about the cars they've reviewed.
And that's why we watch RCR
For real. He seems to have a deep rooted fear of fitting in/being part of the outgroup.
So many of his reviews are filled with his projected insecurities pertaining to that fear.
As a counter, notice how much different his reviews of weird cars made/driven by eccentrics like himself are. Reviews of weird creations made by college students on a budget or beat to hell 90’s Japanese cars driven by dudes in anime t shirts are always glowing with praise. Videos about cars where Mr. Regular feels he isn’t part of the group into said car often go the route of this video.
for real lol
As a kid, I didn’t understand why many people didn’t like RCR. Now that I’m highschool-age - the part of Mr. Regular’s life he obsesses over the most - I realize this is him projecting the social failures of his youth onto vehicles. His aversion to any symbolic representation of masculinity or patriotism feels more like the bottled resentment from being outcasted than it does a well-reasoned worldview. With this in mind while interpreting the content of the video, it becomes nearly unwatchable.
@@njsynthesis spot on.
Oh my god that got dark, but he's absolutely right about the PA sticks. You get *stared* at when you stick out. Then again in a Raptor you'll still get looked at but you'll get a little bro wave
Years back I lived in Lehi, UT. My car got hit so I had to get a loaner from my insurance. The one they gave me was a red Fiat. Filling it up at the gas station surrounded by lifted trucks was an experience I wont forget.
I was driving through a shitty small town in rural PA once, and I accidentally turned down a one way street.
Bunch of little kids started screaming at me, throwing shit at my car, and then their parents/neighbors just started flooding towards the street at me, it really looked like they were setting up to block me in. Probably 12-15 people total.
Freaked me the fuck out. I reversed out full panic pedal and immediately drove home.
@@ColoradoStreaming Dude, you’re in Lehi Utah, don’t even.
"The only thing they have to entertain themselves is terrorizing outsiders"
The most fear I've ever felt in my life fits this scenario you were talking about exactly. I was doing a cross country motorcycle trip, taking the TransAmerica Trail from the coast of NC to OR. I was camping to save money and get the whole experience. I didn't plan out where I would camp beforehand because I wasn't sure how many miles I'd be able to cover each day.
I found myself in rural western North Carolina on my KLR 650, it was already dark and I'd found no place to stay. The headlight was awful and I couldn't safely continue through the winding Appalachian roads, so I had no choice but to sleep on the side of the road. It was a paved road and way too high traffic for me to feel comfortable, and I was sleeping in just a bivvy sack less than 10 feet from the road, I had to clear the area of broken glass that could puncture my inflatable pad.
Every car passing by freaked me out a bit, and once a man stopped a bit from me and shined a flashlight into my face and questioned me about what I was doing and if I was on the run from the law. A bit later, when I was trying to get to sleep, I heard a car pass by slowly, then an ear piercing cackling. I felt it all the way down my spine. I unzipped my bivvy and looked out to see a truck speeding away. I told myself "Its just some local teenagers fucking with me" but I was shook. It became worse when half an hour later the same thing happened again. After that, I laid awake and plugged my ears and got nervous every time I heard a car approaching.
I felt so exposed sleeping in a sack on the side of the road, and knowing that someone was out there that could do anything they wanted to me. Not only that, they had doubled back to fuck with me more.
The next morning, I left and passed a campground 5 miles down the road. Maybe they were going there to scare the children. Bunch of shitheads.
Wow what a story, thanks for sharing it!
Hell, I'm sorry you had to go through that, man. I can't imagine being out there in the dark, all alone. Not even factoring in all those jackasses screwing around. They can go crap!
Hearing Mr. Regular talking about sundown towns is haunting.
@Skibidoop I believe gun involved crimes are pretty rare?
@Skibidoop MUH GUNNNNNNS
I spent the last few years of highschool living in a town with a pop of 260 and about 70min from the nearest police station.
Essentially we notice people not from around the place as they're probably lost and its courteous to wave to people as you go past just to say hello as inevitably you are probably lost as shit, will need towing out of a flooded creek or need some kind of car/food/accommodation for the night- being friendly as a first impression goes a long way, when all you have is a community.
Course the humanities students will think that we're all inbred country mutants and that's ok, but the reality is they were probably just trying to figure out why that random arsehole didn't stop to say g'day or even wave hello
Mom and I pulled off the highway to take a break on the way to Lancaster. All main street boarded up. Parked the car in an abandoned, dilapidated and looted like ancient pirates and vikings had an epic war inside a torched taco bell. Step out onto the cracked pavement with waist high weeds, discarded syringes and used condomns. Then millions of giant crows lifted off over our heads screeching loudly blocking out the dull sun and spreading a shadow of gloom over our janky rental. Not a soul on the streets like a radioactive zombie infested dystopia. We bailed like a teen pop star out of Pelican Bay after getting busted for injuring bystanders in a hit and run 8 ball DWI.
@@krissteel4074 Spent a little time in high school in what was essentially a small town/winter hunting camp in central PA. My friend described that gesture as the "Please don't kill me wave."
I've just been watching documentaries about Skidmore, Missouri, where in 1981 dozens of residents apparently conspired to murder the town bully in broad daylight. The case was never solved, as "no one saw anything", even though by all accounts the deceased's truck was surrounded at the time of the shooting. "They can do anything they want to you - and they got time to all get their story straight". Great stuff, Mr. Regular.
Look up Times Beach, Missouri for another wild story involving a town.
Can confirm that Missouri is like this
@@RhodokTribesman Thanks for the heads-up! That is an insane story, an environmental disaster vaguely along the lines of Centralia , PA.
@AKIman522 Indeed, he did!
Wow. I just went through the Wikipedia page about Ken McElroy, the "town bully", and WOW was he a real bastard.
The value these trucks hold still after being so old prove how much people love them tbh
Some of them with low miles actually went up in price.
Um, barely...
Do you know anything about cars? 😂😂
@@5Ci0N for how the new cars hold their prices? Yeah, the Raptor does hold its price well.
How much people love them has nothing to do with the quality of the car. There is peeling black plastic tape on the thing and cheap plastic tubes in the engine compartment. On a $45,000 car. This car was designed for suckers.
@@domenik8339 Desperate to look cool suckers......
this might...might... be my favorite RCR yet. The writing was incredible.
"this thing really does what every other truck does, just don't cll it a car."
also
"so cody had only owned this car for two weeks..."
Yea, lol classic RCR humor
I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that. 😆
Gotta love when RCR throws shade.
you misspelled clit.
Ford Raptor: Sponsored by overpaying for performance you’ll never use.
Much like the "smart" kid in class who didn't need to study for tests but still had a terrible goa: it's all about the *potential*
And if you use it offroad youl break it the truck is a classic catch 22
but the stickers and logos makes it go fast and thats makes my flacid genitals not feel like they are a problem not matter what my nagging wife says!!
/s
Lol yep, factory oem spec bro dozzer / mall crawler, and they're going to pay every overpriced rapidly depreciating cent for it!
@@anydaynow01 Definitely not depreciating tho
The turn signal thing has a name, something like "highway signals" or something like this. They're for signaling lane changes when you're just making a small move with the wheel that wouldn't be enough to cancel a regular signal, so you can change lanes with just a little flick of a finger on the turn signal stalk instead of having to push it all the way up/down and then bring it back. I actually like this feature a lot.
"He says, 'Just don't call it a car' and immediately calls it..."
That's the joke.
THAT. IS. THE. JOKE.
American level education in a nutshell.
The exact reason I NEED your insight is because of the lack of reading the owners manual verbatim like every other RUclipsr’s car review. You paint a picture of the experience, give us the soul (or lack thereof) of what the automobile has and that can’t be appreciated enough. Much love RCR. ✌🏻
Amen to that..there's no other car review out there like RCR
Thanks!
@@RegularCars your very welcome Mr regular...your content is the best you really get the feeling and soul of an automobile through to the viewer...if your ever in the midwest Missouri in particular let me know I've got a 94 f150 I'd be proud to let you review..and its pretty clean with a kinda unique feature..again thanks for the awesome content you deliver..
This. All of this.
Oops! Turns out the Raptor's owner's manual says "Hot Garbage" right on the cover!
He’s only had it for 2 weeks? In this market I can only imagine how much that dude overpaid for this thing
First gen raptors seen to not be affected as much as regular f-150s (at least from the ones I’ve seen)
With 36,000 miles this guy paid $40k easily unless it’s got a salvage title.
@@patrickmartin3322 ya...cuz they're ALREADY price jacked to the moon... There's no more room!
Chip shortage is a bitch. If you wanna get rid of something, you've got like 2 more months
if he paid market price..did he really overpay?
Poetically, perhaps ironically, Mr. Regular describing the fear he feels driving through THOSE towns are is the exact same fear the truckbois feel that drives them to buy this type of truck, except for them it's fear (as Mr. R described) of being seen as not masculine. That fear for them never really goes away as it does for Mr. R who can just drive away from that town. That town lives inside them.
So every time you hear one of these truckbois chirping mud tires around 90 degree corners or rolling coal in front of the youth dance studio or playing NHRA Drag Racing 2 at every stop light.....remember, they're trying to get away as fast as possible from that little town inside their head which they can never escape.
But your Honda Fit? It's already back on the interstate.
Funny, I have a fit.
i love this
Damn dude ,you gotta publish that shit legit-ly😆
We got brodozers all-over upstate NY here.
It's a shame that all everyone does is make fun of the fragile male ego owners who are conditioned that way by the same conglomerate society. Give the poor lads some slack
You need to project a little harder my guy.
I drove through those small towns a few times on my way to and from Rochester. You get them further west in VA too. It's basically a third world country, with entire families living out if the trunks of cars or single room motels.
Modern America
There's towns like that just off I-90 in northern Idaho and western Montana.
Move to Alberta to work in the "Oil Pahtch" for 2 years to own a lease for a Raptor so half your income can go to paying it off and the other half goes to alimony. Right on!
Then move back to Ontario and complain about how much better it was out west. If you wanted to stay out West stay out West.
I wanted to do just that! And I failed on every level 🤦 1. I joined the workforce during the worst recession in ages. 2. Got stuck doing grunt work for a$$holes 3. Was paid hourly, I worked less than 10 hours during many months. 4. Moved to France because F***!!! the oil patch.
Weird, every company is so short handed up here. Stupid Covid-19 every shift 30 people missing
@@tylerlet6537 I'm not even falling for that "we're short on staff in the oilpatch" statement anymore! Everyone in the oilpatch has the value of bumwipe. Highly sought after in times of need, disposable after the job is done.
At least it's a gasoline engine. The Cummins guys in their bro-dozers that roll coal at every light need to be euthanized.
Bra-less orca mothers name Autumn? This guy is nothing but pure genius. A true wordsmith.

@@seththomas9105 you forgot Amber but very true.
What is an orca mother? And more importantly, do i want to know?
Don't forget Brittany and Kimber.
@@joshnabours9102 Likewise I’m wondering the same thing
Mr Regular, your description of the Honda loathing small town was frighteningly accurate. I grew up in a similar place.
I bought a 12 valve Ram because I was afraid of being crushed in my Isuzu by a cowboy who tells himself 'laws are for the lawless' as he rockets through a red light.
Thanks for the memories! :3
I live in PA and have to drive up a couple hours north for my job. I have a F250 super duty as my work truck. What Mr.Regular said about up North PA feels accurate to me. I always feel if I was in my 03 forester I would attract attention. In this beat up F250 I'm just one in the crowd of other trucks on those rough rural roads. Some roads have warning signs saying "No winter maintenance" with bullet holes through them lol saw that in Rebuck PA. I haven't met anyone looking for trouble but definitely all help is really far away. Hell you even need to plan out fuel pretty well because some parts you just don't see any gas stations and I don't get cell service at certain parts by the mountains.
You ripping your notes up was me every day I was a social worker dealing with a pain in the ass parent who couldn’t see how just NOT using meth would help their reunification case.
You were doing work. It is amazing how some people just don't get it. How can people be so selfish? If you do not hear it enough, I appreciate you and what you do.
That s like a vitamin?
@@tenoki Thanks, fella. I dipped out of the field. Couldn’t afford to keep doing it. I now build Toyota Siennas, and Highlanders.
@@Deschain-um7jz Good vehicles. Nothing is wrong with changing fields. You can't help others if you can't help yourself. Thanks for the response
@@tenoki and thanks for appreciating what I used to do. It’s a thankless job.
That bit about the sundown town is scary.Its a really shitty feeling and he explained it perfectly. Nothing quite like knowing help is far away and everyone knows it.
I have never been so thankful for CCW reciprocity than when I had to stop for gas in one of those towns
The story about being given the stink eye by the yokels is true. Even here in Seattle. Venture out into the rural areas on the weekend, driving a Toyota truck, and drop in to a local luncheonette. Cold stares, icy hospitality from the waitress, and a sullen smoldering resentment fills the air

Hell, I mostly grew up in Horseheads NY.
I love my 6.2l raptor. Best truck I've owned. Not lot issues and easy to work on.
This dudes a douche. Basically does a video on a truck he didn't even test. Just to rip on the truck and the people that have one. All he has to do is watch some videos on here to see everything he said is bullish.

The 3 blink is nice for changing lanes on the highway and when you’re towing a trailer it changes to 5 blinks
Or you could just switch it on and off manually since it takes almost zero effort

The hemi elites have turned into the mopar or no car guys
Hemis are overrated. With them having camshaft failures and breaking exhaust manifold studs every so often, as well as warping exhaust manifolds at that same time. They are trash.

If there was ever roid rage on wheels, the Ford Raptor would be it, now the Ram TRX is the new bro dozer in town
Dodge reclaiming its rightful throne 😤
Haven't seen any TRX's yet. I would definitely rather have the Raptor though. That 6.2 is way down on specific output from any of Ford's current V8's, and even the 3.5 Ecoboost can reliably handle the same power as the TRX without all that much modification. The Demon was a flop, with only a select couple people even coming close to Dodge's quoted 1/4 mile times (after extensive modification and many passes). In fact, the average 1/4 mile eta on the Dodge Demon is about the same as consistent passes in stock automatic Mustangs. Dodge hasn't been on any kind of throne in at least the last 30 years.
The only thing keeping Dodge alive is a motor they only borrow a license to use.
Yep everyone is trying to cash in on the factory mall crawler / bro dozer craze!
@@hellzturkey the trx is faster and sounds cooler than the EB raptor stock for stock
Ford has to catch up with the raptor r
@@ShaiyanHossain the speed rating on the tires these trucks run is really low - doesn’t matter how fast they are they’d all be outrun by my base unmodified 2001 Dodge Neon in under 2mi. Quickness is a different story but - both trucks already have more power than their suspensions can handle off-road so - not sure why even the Raptor R is something to talk about outside of Ford and Dodge wanting people like you on threads like this to say “so cool”.
Dude, what the hell is going on in those Pennsylvania towns? That was insane lol.
I laughed so hard.. Although is not a fun experience, it's true..
small towns exist everywhere, drive around america and you'll find plenty of places that spook ya.
"Between Paoli and Penn Hills, Pennsylvania is Alabama without the blacks." - James Carville, political consultant on 1986.
Pennsylvania is just Pittsburg and Philadelphia with Alabama in between
It’s not a Pennsylvania exclusive problem. Nothing fun about looking for a bathroom off the interstate in Missouri, having an entire restaurant look at you walk in and then noticing the confederate flag hanging in the back to know you should hold it for another hour.
The 6.2 engine is used for industrial applications as well, albeit a bit different tune/setup. A friend of mine just bought a bandit 15" wood chipper and it has s ford 6.2 gas. He likes it, says he doesn't regret buying it over a diesel option. It's more thirsty on fuel, but recovers rpm quicker when it gets bogged down. These engines should last a good long time, even if worked hard imo.
Over my ventures through adulthood I have been blessed by the good Lord to have owned a total of 5 F150s. From a meager XLT with cloth interior, to a luxurious Platinum with messaging, heated and cooled leather seats. From shiny oversized wheels that shimmer on the cement, to dusty mud tires that have no business on a paved road. My Raptor is the culmination of my journey through Truckdom. The feeling you get from knowing that you can pass most vehicles on the streets plus hit a detour off-road and breeze through almost anything else on God’s green Earth is euphoric. I’ve dragged raced her, I’ve jumped her, I’ve muddied her up. I’ve tried to destroy her and she still keeps going and still drives as smooth as a Cadillac Fleetwood. 🤙🏿
The website ads get more and more French New Wave each week and I love it.
Ford SVT Raptor: a rolling Affliction shirt

Drove my mom’s Lexus RX300 through the MO-AR border in 2001; absolutely terrifying
For some reason the truck looks like if it could talk it would just yell "I Do CrossFit!"

My buddy figured it out, 15 minutes a day paid on the shitter works out to 62.5 hrs a year if you work 5 days a week 50 weeks a year. If you devide that by 8 hours it's 7.8 days. Like an extra week of vacation
the official truck of "great show, bad fandom"
Do you even wheel bro? I've seen your video on the Wrangler TJ so I know the answer to the question. How can you "blah blah" over something like factory Fox shocks? There's a lot more to the Raptor than it's appearance, and you'd realize that if you knew anything at all about offroading.
I like your show, the writing is great, but stay in your lane.
@@danday3479 Case in point
@@danday3479 I think his deeper message is that he really likes the truck and "gets it".
I served in the Army as a helicopter mechanic. I knew a handful of guys who, after they got out of the Army, got hired by private companies like DynCorp doing the same job they did in the Army but got paid at least 4-5x more than the Army paid them, just to be able to afford one of these trucks brand new. Not saving up for a house, not to pay off longstanding credit card bills they racked up while in the Army...
They just wanted to buy a Ford Raptor brand-new.
The wife who doesnt laugh but says “that’s funny” just unalived me
These damn blue collared tweekers, they're the backbone of this town.

“So we got a call.”
Very good channel indeed.
I don't know whether to be comforted or terrified at the blistering rate that the singularity of common viewership on all my subs is happening
Its funny how many of these he has to recover. Honestly, you cant blame the truck. You have to blame the marketing. Most people buying these things think they are buying a trophy truck. which it is not.
My one impression from my combined RCR watching experience over the years: Pennsylvania is terrible, don't go there. Run. RUN. RUUUUUUUUNNNNN!
I am a high school teacher...in Ohio. I lecture the kids: "Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh in the west, Philadelphia in the east, and Alabama in the middle." You've been to Pennsylbama.
Finally! We have an RCR intro with 90s-esque artificial voices!
Tts
When I got the notification I said "hey, maybe I'll send this to my 54 year old career military uncle, he bought one of these new and would probably like the video"
But then I thought about it lol
You described the entirety of the negative version of the phrase "You ain't from around here, are ya?" Perfectly! Scary.
"oh no police are 20 minutes away"

As much as I love the american car company philosophy of STICK A HUGE ENGINE IN IT AN GIVE IT A MASCULINE NAME... can we please stop pretending roided up black 'n plastic base models are worth luxury/supercar money?
MORE BROWN
you'd be paying for the 400+hp drivetrain, n the name RapTHOR..lol They made v6 Raptors if you prefer, doubt you'd be saving much in mpgs tho..
Yeah it's like a $2000 more expensive engine, $1000 more expensive suspension package, some fake vents, and chunky tires. It should, at most, be a $5000 option, for as disappointing as it is compared to the standard.
They wanna jack it up a solid 5 figures, it should at least have an engine to rival the Demon and remote adjustable suspension.
To be morally upstanding and charge as much as they do; it should have the wheel to wheel width of a dually, ground clearance that would please even a rock crawling enthusiast, a diesel option that makes 1000lb/ft, a gas option that makes 1000hp, and a steel tubing cage throughout the cab that makes it difficult to climb into the back seat and actually will save you if you flip the truck. It should do 0-60 in 4 or less with street tires and 4high on. It should have a shifter next to the main shifter that switches to bulldog gears where 5000rpm on first is only 5mph. Give me the amount of money it costs to buy a Raptor and I could put every one of these features in a last gen Ranger if I really wanted. Yeah, the 3500lb curb weight XLT models. The "that's not a real truck" Rangers. I could get 1000hp in a Ranger easy af for $20k and then dump the rest into a suspension that can make speedbumps feel like tar snakes.
But in our timeline, they do this garbage.
More power, less weight, really expensive shocks - that's a desert stormer. It's a proper machine, or so I've heard. And read.
Besides, supercars are now over 250k, times have changed. We should stop calculating in 2021 using 2010 money
They’re expensive because dumbass people still buy them. Something is worth as much as someone is gonna pay for it. Don’t ever underestimate the stupidity of the general public
The reason everyone stared at you in the Honda Fit was because "Oh my god IT'S SILICONE SALLY!!!"
The reason was probably because people are used to seeing the same cars day in and day out, so a new one is, as regular described in another episode, a "pattern interrupt."
@@12ealDealOfficial Yeah, and the Fit would be especially noticeable, not because it's a Honda, but because it's a dinky thing that's most at home in cities. It really wasn't made for people who drive long distances.
Sees preview picture: I *smell* a shitshow!
Reads comments: I *see* a shitshow!
Deep down liking the Raptor: I *am* the shitshow?!
Also... paint it brrooooooowwwwwwwnnnnnnnn!!!
I was working for an expedited freight company a few years ago and had the privilege to drive to Ulysses, PA and spent the night in a Dollar General parking lot. I had brought a shelf from Scranton and the store wouldn’t open until the morning. When the sun came up, an old man was sweeping the parking lot. I greeted him only to discover he wasn’t employed by Dollar General. He knew everyone who worked there, but took it upon himself to sweep the parking lot. He told me about the “rat-infested” house that formerly occupied the land. Another fellow around my age showed up. He looked like a construction worker and he also recounted stories about the old house and the people who once lived there. Eventually, a DG employee showed up and I was soon on my way. I didn’t know where to go afterwards, but I decided to drive until I had cellphone service. I’ve been to several small towns and everyone seemed nice there, if not, inquisitive about my business in their town. Turns out, it’s the so-called “White Supremacist Capital of the World.” I was glad to be gone. Haha.
As a central Pennsylvanian I’ll never get tired of seeing the beautiful mountains and hearing the jokes only central Pennsylvanians will get in these vids
I watched half the vid and said, "this must be SW pennsylvania". I've never felt more vindicated.
The best part of this review was the eerily fathomable depiction of remote, God-forsaken small American towns. Man. you'd be fantastic at camp fire horror stories.
I know right? I can immediately picture it, because it brought up so many memories of those towns....
i cannot fathom it. ‘Tis unfathomable for me personally!
also, excellent use of the word, ‘fathomable’. I am very much endeared towards the word.
Regular and Roman's English degrees are on full display in each episode
It reminded me of a trip I took between Bethlehem PA and Cornell in NY. I decided to take the “back roads”. Bad choice. It was like I crossed an invisible line, everything was dull and cloudy and cold. There were three abandoned old houses on this one stretch. That spooked me to hell. I would be going for miles of nothing but woods, then turn the corner to find a lone trailer home with a guy wearing camo sitting on the porch, watching me go. I prayed to god I didn’t break down.
I've been to one of the towns you speak of, I was in a fully loaded 53 ft semi truck. It's still unnerving as hell.
My friend had one of these. He was pissed when Camry's could out drag him. With over 100 hp less
Well then your friend doesn't understand the raison d'etre of the Raptor.
I love how people buy these trucks and then drag race them.
Like.. if you wanted to drag race something.. buy something else that doesn’t have a whole pile of weight and drag.
Never underestimate a V6 Camry or a V6 Accord. They’ve been sleepers since the 90s.
@@Bartonovich52 who cares about Camrys and Accords, along with Raptors for 'street racing'. 🙄
Put the Raptor in its element, it outruns just any production truck, sans the TRX.
Put the V6 Accords and Camrys in their element - reliable commuters, child and grocery getters, traveling sales folks - you're awarded with reliability and durability, decent gas mileage, and very satisfying passing power.
That's the real race. Which accomplishes their intended purpose the best.
@@Bartonovich52 the Accord’s V6 is a real treat!, has a lot of untapped potential. So too should it be said Toyota’s Camry V6. But, I’d prefer the Honda 👍
Power to weight ratio, and aerodynamics, and low centre of gravity
Jakub from the Straight Pipes absolutely FUMING right now
The title?
@@zxvadcsfbh Probably the whole review in general lol
Meanwhile in Canada, Straight Pipes' Jakub stops and says, "It's as if I heard one Mr Regular personally attacking me, and my soul fell a few inches..."
No longer six foot one and a half I bet.
*a few centimetres
Awesome job once again definitely needed this one. I've been to those towns in Pennsylvania where everyone stares at me and me wife and daughter. It isn't a good feeling. But jumping into my 4runner somehow command respect from townies.
That story about being in the fit at 9:55, that's what it's like to be black in one of those places. You described it quite eloquently
Funny that Mr. Regular is talking about turn signals on a truck, though I've never seen them used.
Pretty sure the Lightning was never meant to work off-road. It fits perfectly into the massive category of truck consumers who will never use a truck for it's intended purpose.
Murica ! ...
They're never going to use it for anything, but they want it to look like they might. That's why the Lightning failed.
Pretty strange statement from Mr. Regular.
A lowered, longbed single cab truck with no transfer case didn't work off-road. Surprised Pikachu.
Lightning picked up where Chrysler's discontinuation of their 'adult toys' line ended. Warlock and Lil Red Express specifically. Can't remember if the Chevrolet 454SS pickup was before or after Lightning.
Kinda like how the '94-'96 Impala saw the Panther platform Mercury Marauder as successor, followed later by the LX platform Chrysler 300.
It's only good for getting parts that were overnighted from Japan
Ever since one of those Ram Ranch clips, I can't ever see raptor drivers the same way ever again.
Ford's been adding that self-cancelling turn signal switch for a while on their vehicles. I don't know how ubiquitous it is in the line up, but I know the fiesta has had it for a couple years at least. I like it, as I usually just use my hand to bump it right when I'm about to lane change, or stay the course for a full click when I'm waiting on a lane change or turning.
Mr. Regular is one four loko away from ending up on the news for setting fire to a broseph's broyota supra at a car meet for an intro into a video.
When he just loses his shit & tears everything apart. This. RCR means never say die.
"just don't call it a car."
"So Cody had owned this car for about two weeks..."
This gave me early RCR vibes.
I love it.
The last five minutes of this video may be the finest RCR content yet.
Both the writing and delivery are absolutely epic. 👌
3:55 OMFG I LAUGHED SO HARD
Ending the review with a fart noise. The punctuation of a civil arguement won in confidence.
Digging the Matt's Offroad Recovery name drop. Glad the guy's getting the recognition he deserves.
Plenty of these around here in Florida, all very clean if you get my drift. These are for the Punisher sticker crowd.
Florida here too. I can pretty much extrapolate someone’s personality based on that stupid sticker.
@@maxpain45678 I saw a Punisher sticker on a Prius once. I thought it was a good joke.
@King Of Crunk "as much as gentlemen who had made it". You sound like you might just be a funeral director yourself because you're defending if not supporting people that make money off of other people's literal death, major grief and darkest days both for the living and the deceased. I think you have it a little bit twisted bud, and instead of defending the profession or the truck, you just exposed them both for being for thoughtless, greedy twits. Maybe rethink things.
@King Of Crunk yawn.
His explanation of how people are in small towns and how they judge based off what you drive is how I felt being back home in Texas from being in the army for 5 years. They’re “tough” because of their possessions and beer bellies. They look at me different cause I wear styles I picked up in the PNW/Hawaii and because I drive a Toyota FJ and not a big truck with a bro lift or a jeep.
I'm crying, you are a poet my friend, and a fine dramatic speaker to boot. Thanks for this one!
LOVE MY RAPTOR! video cracked me up. The description of a raptor owner was spot on.
1) The description of the people in those towns was gold. 2) If we're talking KFC the skin is the best part and I wish we could just buy a box of that lol
Fun fact some tik tok goofball actually did indeed buy just the skin
@@jeffuclyptis771 really? They do sell it in some Asian KFCs. In a carton like you would get fries in from McDonald's. I just wish they would do it here lol
"This truck does everything a truck does, just don't call it a car."
"So Cody's had this car for..."
*FISSION MAILED*
I totally understand about the small town fear. I made the mistake of driving a Nissan Sentra through a small town, and the same thing happened. People staring suspiciously around every corner. I got pulled over for not really speeding, so the lone town cop could subtly suggest that outsiders are not welcome. It's a damn good thing I'm white.
"Nearest is 20 miles away" That's actually quite close. 100 miles is kinda getting there.
the "Bmw" like blinkers are actually pretty nice to have when you drive lots of motorways or roundabouts since you dont really need much time to change lane and you dont steer so much that they self cancel
Exactly. I own one car with this feature and one without. In the one without I usually don't give a blink when changing lanes because I will have to engage and then un-engage the blinker. In the car with the feature I'm Mr safety, blinking at everybody everything!
@@ybgrsfd yes same for me when i had my old golf i just wouldnt turn on the indicators
If 3 blinks isn’t enough I’m not going fast enough
Once I found out I could kill that feature on the 21 Forester I just bought a couple months ago, I did. Pressing down as much as I need it - no more no less - is all I want.
The way he described that feature makes me think he doesn't drive very many new/nice cars, and brings into question any perceived expertise he has in this domain.
As a European, driving through those tiny american towns where everyone stares at you like they know you're a foreigner and want you out, that was whole new level of culture shock. Even worse than random crackheads and wannabe entrepreneurs approaching me at gas stations at 2AM
You act as though that doesn't happen in Europe to people who aren't white Europeans. People in small towns are shitty and provincial, this ain't new.
As an American, they do it to us too. Also, crackheads are just normal gas station decor.
@@wristofkings most people who are considered white in Europe would be considered non white in the US...
@@wristofkings Cant possibly be about the 5-10x as high chance of such an "out of town" person being a violent criminal. Must be "shitty" people for not being as gullible as you are.
@@wristofkings Hey nice username, love that song. Its true, but it didn't happen to me much, except for some VERY rural areas in the Balkans where I'm from. The places in the US weren't nearly as remote...
"...you don't want people spending their whole day on the can."
Immediately get a Charmin toilet paper ad. I shit ye not.
This is like the truck for the person who would've bought a brodozer, but likes to go dirtbiking on the weekends.
