John 928 I have a 802a package and they are electronic. Button is on the door with other mirror controls. I always use it while parking in town due to width. Also, nice to have when squeezing into smaller spots off road.
This is the truck I have, and let me tell you it is pretty good. I drove the last two weeks in the mountains between north Wyoming and north Montana. I drove through all the off road options, Including 1 foot of snow, and the truck behaved as intended. I suggest the truck to all you out there that like and need to drive off road.
Raptors is a nice looking truck until 2022 Toyota Tundra will blow the competition out the water my favorite is the full retractable back windows no manufacturing have that stand out from the rest
I like that you brought up "sleeping in your car" many times for a $70k truck... helping make the case for "you can sleep in your car but you can't drive your house!" 😆
I’ve heard from several mechanics that while eco boost can provide excellent power it comes at a cost. That cost being premature engine wear/tear leading to expensive repairs.
My buddy has a 2018 raptor, he drives all over the Country for his job. He’s very well off. Has over 200,000 miles on it already. Actually the only problem he’s had with it was the rear end.
Actually you can get older f150s with a supercab and 5ft bed, I guess those were from left over trucks that were just thrown together, still cool and would be an awesome truck to have.
As my old buddy use to say, I really like that truck, I'm gonna get me on them one of these years when the price comes down on them. lol RIP old buddy.
First person I have ever heard say "you can only fit 2 car seats in the back." Doesn't seem like a big deal, but I appreciate knowing the small things like that. Great review!
On the c7 corvette it’s a sport car and it has 450hp and I always fantasized a truck with corvette like performance this raptor is awesome the ram also is pretty awesome with its 700hp. I want a spacious truck with insane sports car like driving I think it exists now...
I own a 2018 and just hit 50k miles. I had hesitation at first but Ford Performance did it right. Remember, this is a baja truck. The 3.5L ecoboost while having obvious turbo lag, still does extremely well and will beat the gen 1 Rousch Raptor (600hp) any day. So while opting for the gen 2, I get more hp, torque and more bells and whistles than my Mercedes SUV. The other reason the 3.5L works is that it’s smaller and lighter giving the truck less weight and a lower center of gravity for better overall handling and performance. If my only complaint is the exhaust sound, I’m okay with that. Did I mention the turning radius is amazing? Which you will need for a super crew truck.
You mentioned that you experienced issues with the transmission. I’ve had my Gen 2 Raptor for over 2 years and at first I was on the fence with the transmission; however, what I came to realize is that the truck adapts to the driver after some time “learning” your habits and driving style. I normally use Sport mode and have a heavy foot, so it’s adapted and I cannot remember the last time it didn’t shift properly and aggressively when I demanded it. You have to use the driving modes properly to obtain the full potential of this beast and allow it to adapt to you over a little time.
That red stripe on the wheel actually has a purpose. When off road, you need to know where dead center is on occasion, without getting into too much detail.
When I'm older and I can buy this, the price should be down a whole lot which is perfect because this already has enough upgrades since the original versions to last a lifetime
I have a 2020 raptor as well. And to this day I still cannot stand normal drive mode using all 10 gears and the ridiculous shift points. When I first bought the truck it was in sport mode when they started the truck for me and brought it around front for me to drive. If I test drove that truck in normal mode I may not have purchased it. But I didn’t realize that I was never in normal mode until I left the dealership.. But Talk about lagging when you’re driving around town. You can literally be in 10th gear going 40 miles an hour. Running 1100 RPMs. I don’t see how this is good for the transmission, or the motor. Running at low RPMs all the time is bad due to lack of lubrication. And it always feels like it’s just in too high of a gear for the speed you’re going when you’re in normal mode. I’ll be in 8th gear going 30 miles an hour. I do love sport mode! But that basically turns the truck into a serious gas hog because the RPMs are always around 2000 or higher. They should have made normal mode in between sport mode and what normal mode currently is. Thus far there’s absolutely no reason for a 10 speed transmission besides causing more issues down the road. That’s the only thing I hate about this truck. Everything else, fantastic!
I like the look of this ford raptor, but only one thing I’m backing up that is gas mpg. It has a small engine but no good gas mileage. I think ford needs to focus on improving on mpg in this good looking track.
Gorgeous truck. Does Ford still make this? It's still listed on their website but when we go to "Build & Price", it only shows the non-Raptor F-150s :(
"Close to 97 inches wide with mirrors." So, same as a regular F150. Interesting how many don't know that the cab (including mirrors) is just a regular F150 cab. Not any wider. The front and rear track are the only things wider than a regular F150, and the wider Raptor-specific fenders have to accommodate. But when you include standard mirrors, it's all the same width overall. Guys that buy a regular F150 and throw on zero or negative offset wheels are the same width essentially, minus the bodywork. To put another way; a regular stock F150 and an F150 Raptor fit through the same hole in a wall if you don't fold the mirrors on either one.
Why why why, not put the 6 1/2 ft bed on the Extended cab version? Bugged me ever since the Raptor came out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they could have used just one wheel base for all the Raptors that way (the supercrew wheel base) for both cab configurations that way. The Extended cab with the more usable bed length option just seems crazy not to offer.

is the side mirrors electronically controlled for folding inwards/outwards or is it manual?

The fenders don't "bulge out to accumulate the massive tires" ...they "accommodate" the tires.

Karl, I appreciate that. I try to make my videos as informative as possible without being too boring :).
This is the Truck I plan on purchasing in the coming years
It's not the right truck for most, but that's not the point of buying one. It's badass!
Jesus, it's like the Space Shuttle in the Ford Raptor! Can't wait to get the chance to own one of these beasts

It sure stands up to its name , the beast of all beasts , luv it
We’re all George .just bought a Raptor because of this video .🎉
You're on a roll George! Keep up those great reviews!
Thanks bro!
By far the best review out there and i have seen them all
Hey George. I’m a car enthusiast too. Followed you here from your CRU brother. Thanks for making another quality channel.
I not a Ford guy at all but this the best truck ever!!! So awesome!
Ram 1500 TRX - The Ford F150 Raptor killer

I’ve heard from several mechanics that while eco boost can provide excellent power it comes at a cost. That cost being premature engine wear/tear leading to expensive repairs.
Not really, ecoboost engines had a few issues when the tech first came out in around 2010, but they're pretty solid now.
My buddy has a 2018 raptor, he drives all over the Country for his job. He’s very well off. Has over 200,000 miles on it already. Actually the only problem he’s had with it was the rear end.

Actually you can get older f150s with a supercab and 5ft bed, I guess those were from left over trucks that were just thrown together, still cool and would be an awesome truck to have.
I meant to say supercab, obviously the crew cabs can get the 5ft bed, that was a mistake that I overlooked.
But it was retired before the coyote was offered;(
JeepCherokeeful I don’t think it was an actual option you could order it was probably just left over cabs and beds thrown onto that wheelbase
Need this NOW!
I love you from the heart, legend.

Great comprehensive review 👏 This is how it should be, no nonsense, no unwanted music blah blah blah. Well done my man ✅

Thanks Ryan! Most reviewers only talk about how great the raptor is off road but most people buying this will be driving it daily often with kids. :).
Fantastic review, my friend!

I can imagine doing some mods on this and ripping through the sand dunes, epic.
They really need to put a supercharged V8 with 700+ hp. I'd honestly like to see around 750-825hp
Yeah but the raptor is already very expensive. Can’t imagine the price with a supercharged v8.

Good review my G!✊🏽✌🏽 Can’t wait to strap me a Raptor🤗

I have the 2000 Ford F-150. No I have my eyes set on this badass truck. Can’t go wrong with an All American Ford
I'm so sad that I cant get one they are to expensive sigh Ima go cry

Diesel or gas.
How many fuel consumption in city driving and in off-road.
Excellent review!!!!
It's so beautiful, it's my favorite car
I want one of this badass truck..
As an owner of one, you are absolutely correct. Only thing that sucks is the Sync 3.
When I'm older and I can buy this, the price should be down a whole lot which is perfect because this already has enough upgrades since the original versions to last a lifetime

For the money the change they should make the interior more luxury and completely different the F 150 .
I'm sure the interior of the next F150 is going to be amazing. :).
The Plate is covering the front intercooler!
I got mine a week ago. Lead foot color and I’m loving it!
I'm jealous
Can I install a front sensor on my 2020 Raptor full loaded?
Hopefully in the coming years it will come with an v8 option
I like the look of this ford raptor, but only one thing I’m backing up that is gas mpg. It has a small engine but no good gas mileage. I think ford needs to focus on improving on mpg in this good looking track.
Simply a dream come true Truck !!!
No USB C in the back seats ,Ram has two of those but RAM does not have a 12-volt for the back seat
Did they fix the issue with moonroof failing or leaking sometimes?
Had mine for a week, fing love it
Have there been any issues with parking lots or driving down narrow streets?
I WANT ONE !
Maybe I’m wrong but you sound a lot like Tiger Woods and I think that’s pretty cool
Shame they don't sell F150 Raptors in the uk
(As far as I can tell)
David Smith closest this is ford ranger raptor but it's not even close when compared with an American F150
Did Ford say why they did not put lights behind the gear shift letters?
Nice review. Love my 2020
great job george..👌🏼
I just wish it had a V8 option of some sort
V8 Unnecessary, V6 much better, lighter, performance. Not missing the V8.
You just have to know your motor , know your transmission work with it
Very thorough demo. You touched every base and detail systematically during your ford raptor presentation. Good job sir, very informative.
Getting mine this Friday. thanks for the review
Nice!!!!
Gorgeous truck. Does Ford still make this? It's still listed on their website but when we go to "Build & Price", it only shows the non-Raptor F-150s :(

I know exactly what you mean David, I want one but the price is out of my range :(
Get an older model
With so many cup holders they should make restroom inside it too incase someone have to pee...

If they put a bathroom in this truck ,you aren't going to be able to afford it.
