+CW4PWR that is actually going to be a Gator Tri-fold cover. This cover is actually made for the vehicle, you will notice that the seals are sitting a little high only because it's brand new on the truck. These will relax over time and not be so apparent. As far as the connection on the right side, I believe that is going to be for the spare tire so that you can lower it down.
+MBYfilms, So far we have not added anything to this Raptor except the front and rear bumpers we've changed. In this video though it's straight off the lot.
such a cool truck! no start up or Rev? probably for the best lol. Let the numbers do the talking not the sound. I think they are good for a 5.3 0-60 from factory which is crazy.
This truck wasn't just "released", it has just begun to be delivered. We've known what the Raptor was going to look like for over a year now, just took longer than expected to start hitting dealer lots.
I wonder if you can COMPLETELY turn off the traction control and advanced trac systems; that is one thing that I cannot stand about my new F150, can't have any fun with it.
You can get a custom tune in which those system are disabled, but you can also hold the TC button for 7 seconds with your foot on the brake to turn off AdvancTrac and TC. There is still a limit in which the system will activate, but it's WAAAY higher threshold to allow for more sideways fun. I myself have a 2015
DirtyD The computer nannies constantly kick in even with advance track off. I want them completely off being that I do not enjoy listening to the trucks electronics working against what I am trying to do. From what I read, even with a tune this also disables the ABS system. I can accomplish this just by pulling a fuse. Again, there is no way to completely disable the TC without loosing ABS. I would hate to Buy this Raptor to find out that you cannot completely disable these functions.
give it some time. I'm sure someone will figure out how to do this. I know some guys that have just unhooked the ABS sensor when at the track for burnouts and such, but not on the road.
no V8,no sale. ..it's not just a truck is a fuck in Raptor. 3.5 ridiculous. that's like Chevy taking the 3.6 liter out of the CTS vsport and putting it in the Corvette. it doesn't matter that it makes the same power or more power or whatever. A V8 is a V8 is a V8!!!
Sky Trooper Na you got a point I've heard ecoboosts have problems with longevity Our old Raptor should hopefully last us longer then this thing And sound much better
I give Ford a ton of credit for getting so much power out of a V6, plus having the ability to manipulate the Turbo spool times is pretty sweet.. But at the end of the day a decently equipped Raptor is gonna be 60k+!! I just can't see spending that kinda money for an aluminium truck with a V6, no matter what the power is..
Gmtail What's wrong with it being aluminum? High end cars are mostly the one made of aluminum. Why? because aluminum is better and cost more. Don't buy into the Chevy commercials,they just got left behind again and can only bad mouth their better opponent. How do I know? Because Chevy's next truck will also be made out of aluminum.
Gmtail It will hold up fine. Auto manufacturers don't use aluminum on smaller cars because it's so expensive. That's why everyone was shocked when Ford announced it would make the F150 out of aluminum.
If what i heard was true & the price is 90k I'll pass on the raptor and get a tundra, first ford lied their asses off on the GT's fuel mileage and it's power to weight ratio so what have they lied about on this truck? Plus the interior is horrible!
Deez Vannnd Yes, But have you ever owned a twin or single turbo? 80% of owners are disappointed with turbo after several years. Super expensive to repair. No longevity.
opens tailgate with a button, for christ sake what gimmick is next. Best looking truck no doubt, but when is enough enough with these new car prices. Blue collar hard working people can't even get a decent car anymore without refinancing their homes.
I own a 2017 F150 race red sport pkg with the V8 and yes this raptor is sexy but why why why whhhhhhhhhy!!! Did they put a damn V6 in here????? They should have put a V8 I am sooo sad.

for a 6000lbs truck, 0-60 5.3 is ridiculously fucking fast
Great video! What kind of bed cover is that? It does not look like it fits? And what is the connection on the right side of the rear plate?

You should mention that most of the items you listed are optional equipment or come packaged in a group.
Great recommendation! Thank you for adding!
not full time 4x4?
good review. very nice truck too.
Thank you Ben!
Ben Rogers that's what people these days don't see the effort needed to create gr8 reviews. Nice review
Great review..1 question what type of gas does it use
Most likely 87 octane
KINGWARKING 12 87 is NOT recommended. 93 octane MINIMUM.
Potężna i piękna maszyna.Dobry test.
You can use the front camera while rock climbing
The 5.0 engine swap that Hennessy does would be the only way I would own the Gen 2 Raptor!
what color is this one is it custom? It looks darker than the avalanche?
Drake,
My understanding was that this was the Avalanche color. I haven't heard that it was custom in any way but I could be wrong.
I wish they would offer this with a v8 twin turbo version
is this truck still all stock or was there a leveling kit added to it?
+MBYfilms,
So far we have not added anything to this Raptor except the front and rear bumpers we've changed. In this video though it's straight off the lot.
It looks great man!
POTĘZNE i piękne auto! W Polsce o takim mogę tylko pomarzyć. Nawet gdybym go sprowadził z USA,to "państwo" wykończyłoby mnie opłatami.
Check out the new accessories we have available for the 2017 Ford Raptor: www.realtruck.com/ford-accessories/raptor/2017/?

Thanks
i have those same tires on my ram. best tires ever.
They really are great tires!
such a cool truck! no start up or Rev? probably for the best lol. Let the numbers do the talking not the sound. I think they are good for a 5.3 0-60 from factory which is crazy.
Skip to 5:53 to see under the hood
Please learn that is hill decent mode and it use the engine break tow slow u down!
Love it , hope we could get it in Europe
Bad ass truck
cant even wait till 2018 comes out :D ... they getting better and better
Seems weird that Ford releases the 2017 Raptor right after they debut the 2018 F-150. Now the brand new Raptor has the "old" body style.
This truck wasn't just "released", it has just begun to be delivered. We've known what the Raptor was going to look like for over a year now, just took longer than expected to start hitting dealer lots.
2018 is the same body style, just different front grill, Headlights, tail lights.
Acadiana I agree with that you have an New style truck with the special performance version with older styling ish
while it has 510 torque... you said 511 but it's cool I guess by 1
this v6 will beat any v8 so far so v8 you need to put in some work man
This is my dream truck I would kill for one of these.
You just got yourself on the no-fly list.
I hear that, this thing is a real beauty!

I know some guys that have just unhooked the ABS sensor when at the track for burnouts and such, but not on the road.
I believe you can wire a toggle switch on the ABS sensor to switch it on and off from in the cab.
ZepG Now that is a good idea
You need to tell the price increase of the new Raptor of 20k or more.
no V8,no sale. ..it's not just a truck is a fuck in Raptor. 3.5 ridiculous. that's like Chevy taking the 3.6 liter out of the CTS vsport and putting it in the Corvette. it doesn't matter that it makes the same power or more power or whatever. A V8 is a V8 is a V8!!!
Drop the generic metal music.
Wow this is gonna be ridiculous fast with that ecoboost. It's gonna beat all other truck manufacturer to the repair shop :)
I kid I kid
Sky Trooper
Na you got a point I've heard ecoboosts have problems with longevity
Our old Raptor should hopefully last us longer then this thing
And sound much better
it's ridiculous that they have that little symbol for the blind spot monitoring system on the tail lights. very gaudy
very gaudy and tacky indeed
no V8?, no deal
HIGH DESERT DESIGN dumb comment
HIGH DESERT DESIGN dude it's lighter and morepowerful and still a 6 better than 4 though
HIGH DESERT DESIGN no V8? Shut up and take my money!

+Gmtail Apparently you've never seen what winter road salt does to steel..These aluminum bodied trucks are an answer to more than one prayer I assume.
It's a off-road vehicle but it's got independent front suspension...
Bartek Witas The Raptor is a Baja truck and Baja trucks use independent front suspension and solid axel rear.
Bartek Witas you need independent front suspension to run fast offroad, and so far no other oem truck can match its offroad performance.
Tyrel Thibault yep
george palacios yep
If what i heard was true & the price is 90k I'll pass on the raptor and get a tundra, first ford lied their asses off on the GT's fuel mileage and it's power to weight ratio so what have they lied about on this truck? Plus the interior is horrible!
apllDgrapllD if you get the Raptor supercrew with every available option it's going to run you just under 70k
ssanderford63 i gotcha thanks, thats around the top end tundra!!
apllDgrapllD no worries, 90k would be crazy high
ssanderford63 yea thats what i heard on another truck channel!
I'd be surprised if that engine lasts 5 years.
Aco they will
Real Truck, let me know when that truck has a Real Engine. Thanks.
As you can see it does have a real engine. You're welcome!
Deez Vannnd Yes, But have you ever owned a twin or single turbo? 80% of owners are disappointed with turbo after several years. Super expensive to repair. No longevity.
