I just got my new 2024 Raptor R in the end of May. I only paid $5,000 over MSRP and I could not be happier. The acceleration is out of this world! It always has power on demand and have handed 2 TRX's their lunch. I have been trying to get one for almost 2 1/2 years and my dream came true. I love it and so far no complaints. I bought it in Missouri and soon taking it back home to Arizona, where I can really test it off-road. I really like you honest opinons on your videos. I will let you know if I have any issues with the beast. Also I like the make over and the small but pronounced changes. Keep up the great work.
If you “handed 2 TRX’s their lunch” then those guys don’t know how to drive. The Raptor R and the TRX are so similar in 1/4 mile times and launch that across the line they are essentially neck and neck.
Mike and his videos of raptors over the years is the reason I fell in love with trucks and raptors. Although can’t afford one definitely my new dream vehicle. Maybe one day. Great video.
Best Raptor yet…these trucks are phenomenal and hold value. I’ve had 3 and all have been bulletproof and hoping the 2024 carries on that legacy. Like it or not Ford does reign in the truck…but GM’s lineup is right there
Hey Mike, I absolutely love your content and have been watching for many many years now. I was just thinking while I was watching this video, have you ever considered doing a video, either on this channel or your personal channel, about ways to get the best deal at a dealership? I was thinking that since you had some years of experience as a car salesman, you might have some insider tips to share. Just an idea. I don’t know if it would make sense from a content standpoint.
I agree the Raptors all of them are beautiful trucks and I would love nothing more but to own a 24 rafter or rafter R, but I’m just plane oh folk I can’t afford it to pay $2000 a month for a vehicle makes nice but they’re out of their mines with the prices and with the interest rates but I still like your videos. I think you’re pretty cool.
Traded a Cadillac 5 Blackwing for the Raptor & have to agree with your video. The Ford is massive & heavy … very different power delivery than a sports car. Swapping-out the stock BFG tires (37s in my case) for something with a stiffer sidewall helped my handling. Overall, very comfortable & enjoyable on road trips. It’s wide to the point of requiring a little extra forethought when parking.
Nothing looks better than the gen 2 at least on the front end styling. It snarls at you. The front end on the gen 3 and the refresh look like tropical fish. Love that green paint though.
God bless America, idk why anyone needs a pickup w/700 hp but its there if you want it. The only truck similar to this was 20 yrs ago the Harley Davidson grey Ford pickup. That truck I liked.
I appreciate this review. I want that color and like the refresh, I'm just debating getting that or the new RAM RHO. Looks like it will be better in certain areas and features. IDK any thoughts between the 2?
Instrument cluster is new, Heads Up Display is new, carbon fiber appearance around outer a/c registers is new, red stitching is new, Raptor logo on rear seats is new, dashboard is new, black carbon fiber steering wheel marker is new.... nothing changed on the interior though????
The 720 HP with a wider torque curve makes a difference doesn't it? Also the dual valve for the compression and rebound. It may be a refresh but they really did enough for it to be a new gen IMHO .
Great video and appreciated. I just bought this exact truck a few months ago and love it so far. The green is a gorgeous colour and she always gets complements. I do have 2 negative thoughts so far. There's no lift kits available from all the research I've done. Its my $100K and I would love to see her lifted at least 2 inches or more. I love the look and most of the competition out there has availability to do so. I also see kits available for the 2023's and older models out there?? And for the sound.... Wish I could figure out how to leave it in Baja mode without having to adjust it every time I start her up to be in that setting. Other than that, LOVE her.
I think it’s hard to make a bulky boxy pick up truck or suv look good , and I see that ford has pulled it off with this one , it looks handsome ( my opinion) , thinks Michael
Funny, we have a 16 F150 with ventilated seats and it's not as nice as our 19 S5's. The face lift looks a bit busier, esp in the rear with those taillights.
Although a nice Raptor,Im keeping my 2014 Gen1 w/the 6.2 and Whipple SC...biggest reason i wont buy new one is Ford screwed the pooch when they stopped the Supercab...CrewCab and small bed looks stupid IMHO..and with long bed..good luck parking anywhere...
Autovlog Great Video I think the 2024 Raptors are pretty cool and I think its worth the upgrade visually and I think you should get one for the Channel
Ford Motor Company in a few more cars use a Ted unit in the seats the reason why it cool better because it uses a blower German cars just use individual fans in the seats that's the difference they did not design the seats to make you feel cold they design them just to keep air circulating in the seats just for you not to stick to the seats
You should really buy something like a Ford Fusion again and modify the sht out of it. Its more down to reality for people and it goes back to your roots :)
Nope. IMHO, the Gen 2 then Gen 3 pre-face have the best front ends. But hey, it’s a Raptor I’ll take any version but don’t see the need to upgrade from my Gen 2 just based on looks. Now for an R, that’s a different story. 😂
What did you include in your order? Just curious what you got and what you paid?? I'm looking at getting an RHO as well. Doesn't seem like these raptors have the quality for an 80k truck.
2023 front end looks a lot better IMO. The 2024 headlights (and taillights) aren’t as good looking and the squiggly lines above and below the FORD are terrible. The rest of the truck is good.
Reality is we need to wait until the Ram RHO comes out, see how that compares & what the pricing is really like (these dealers are gonna have tough time getting markups nowadays) need to see if Ford a) ups the stock HP &/or b) discounts the price (sticker or more likely deep dealer discounting) lastly- I’d like to also know what the tuning potential (if any) is like for the RHO
The pre-facelift Raptor, by far, looks better than the new facelift. It seems as Ford’s re-design of all of their trucks are “ugly”, including the Ranger. To me the grill, and shape of the front end of the pre-facelift F150 was a throwback to the old F100. Now everything from the Ranger on up looks like nothing more than a larger glorified Maverick. However, the new interior of the Ranger is much better than the previous, but the large vertical touchscreen is hideous. I like how the previous Raptor’s fenders were wider than the rest of the truck. Now with the new facelift, those bulging fenders disappear with the wider front end etc. The new Ranger only looks decent if it’s the Ranger Raptor.

How did you get such a low mark up? Sounds awesome

I just bought one!
A used 4-5 year old one you can get in the high 30's low 40's. More attainable than you think
Was going to get a 2024, but they offered 15k discount on a new 2023 they had sitting around. I’m very happy
Were all a sucker for a good deal & you got one.
TTL?
And you got it right? Thats a steal
That's a good deal.
What dealership?

You have came a long way since that first fusion review lol. Love the channel mike
We need the danger ranger 🛻
Im here
Dude , you’re looking buff💪🏻

There should be a Raptor on the Channel again. Maybe even a Danger Ranger Raptor 😅

Sir! Well Done! Ordered my truck, a 24' Selter Green. Cant wait!
Nothing looks better than the gen 2 at least on the front end styling. It snarls at you. The front end on the gen 3 and the refresh look like tropical fish. Love that green paint though.
God bless America, idk why anyone needs a pickup w/700 hp but its there if you want it. The only truck similar to this was 20 yrs ago the Harley Davidson grey Ford pickup. That truck I liked.
No one "needs" any of these pickups. It's what people want....
Love that folding work surface too!
thinking about Raptor is the bestseller list of the world wide!
I’m just glad they rounded out the front fascia again, the previous squared-off version was less attractive to me.
Did you try and damage the transmission on this truck?
I'm still rocking my 2015 XLT with a Raptor grill. Some day I will get the official thing 🤣🤣
I’m with you, me too man. I’m still rocking my 2015 XLT
I prefer the pre-facelift front end.
Just got my new 24’ in white! Absolutely love it!
I appreciate this review. I want that color and like the refresh, I'm just debating getting that or the new RAM RHO. Looks like it will be better in certain areas and features. IDK any thoughts between the 2?
Same here but man I really want to wait and see how that Turbo 6 that Ram has. Some are sayin it’s gonna blow with that much boost
I definitely like the previous year better. Front end looks rough I think.
Instrument cluster is new, Heads Up Display is new, carbon fiber appearance around outer a/c registers is new, red stitching is new, Raptor logo on rear seats is new, dashboard is new, black carbon fiber steering wheel marker is new.... nothing changed on the interior though????
Great video Mike!
Looks good! Brandon on his Texas Revving RUclips channel got his 2024 R in the same color, and it is nice.
The 720 HP with a wider torque curve makes a difference doesn't it? Also the dual valve for the compression and rebound. It may be a refresh but they really did enough for it to be a new gen IMHO .
I have a 21 foot f350 6.7 its a pain in the ass to drive sometimes. My uncle has the new eco boost 150. Really considering adding one of these

Wish I could figure out how to leave it in Baja mode without having to adjust it every time I start her up to be in that setting. Other than that, LOVE her.
Simply use my mode and it'll automatically go where you want it,if that's Baja mode or any other mode.
There you go
I love this. Fyi toyota sequioa has a good bit more leg room in 2nd room
The dash is also different doesn’t have a double hump like the 21
Do you know why Raptor still doesn’t have Blue Cruise? Remember the 2021 was supposed to have it but they never turned it on.
Questions: If you upgrade the suspension can be possible to towed 14k tons of weight?
Mike if this truck is new why does it have license plates? Shouldn't it have paper plates?
Probably dealer plates
Mikey you definitely definitely need another F150 in your life brother 🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪
To get a moonroof or not?
I know you're a performance guy, how about a review of an F450 limited. Towing performance.
Any risk of the catalytic converters being stolen on the 2024 Raptor base model?
Awesome! I didn’t know Jim McMahon is now doing reviews.
I think it’s hard to make a bulky boxy pick up truck or suv look good , and I see that ford has pulled it off with this one , it looks handsome
( my opinion) , thinks Michael
I've done a few things to my Cadillac & it gets looks. Wheels tires & A big break kit plus I keep it detailed. Runs good too!
Thinking about buying one but I'm not sure I don't like how the engine looks the body is nice tho
I'M A RAPTOR GUY...WHAT ARE YOUR INNITIAL THOUGHTS ON THE NEW RAM RHO?
Funny, we have a 16 F150 with ventilated seats and it's not as nice as our 19 S5's. The face lift looks a bit busier, esp in the rear with those taillights.
I love the new looks of the Raptor!
Probably the only green I’d ever buy ! New tail lamps to get stolen 😬
Pre-facelift ser mer aggressivt ut än det här nya. Det är därför det är mitt val.👍
No 1080p?
Need that shirt though, sir! That thing be fitting nicely. 💪🏽
Are the head rests able to tilt/adjust back?
Why so many reviews of F-150s/Raptors??
Because some want to be sure what they get when they drop that cash. He helps us get an extra view of it
Although a nice Raptor,Im keeping my 2014 Gen1 w/the 6.2 and Whipple SC...biggest reason i wont buy new one is Ford screwed the pooch when they stopped the Supercab...CrewCab and small bed looks stupid IMHO..and with long bed..good luck parking anywhere...
Was hoping for the Review of the Ranger Raptor maybe compare it with the danger Ranger to SEE how it has evolved.
Thank you Autovlog - has Ford solved/fixed the cam phaser design (issue) with the 3.5 EcoBoost 2024 Raptors?
Yes
There's a guy in my neighborhood who has a 24 Raptor that says SVT on it, I think that the owner did some mods to it!
I think Mike needs a GTR! That be hot !
Autovlog Great Video I think the 2024 Raptors are pretty cool and I think its worth the upgrade visually and I think you should get one for the Channel
Yes I think the facelift looks better
It’s time to see a new personal car on the channel
Money don’t poof outta thin air!! Lol
@@brass6094 it kinda does when all you do is RUclips haha
@@ilovesundays10not for a few thousand views
Love the color !!!!
Mike! Are you going to get a Raptor R?
Cant decide between a 35 or 37 pack
Mike you need a raptor R. Freshen up the Channel a bit.
I like to see you do a review of the ford explore ST
Single cab with V8 is the only right choice on Ford truck
Nice video AutoVlog
The videos have only been 720p recently
Is that gonorrhea green?
Beautiful !😮
heads up display is new
The new 2025 RAM RHO Will be less expensive and more power. You should do a review on that Sometime When it comes to the dealerships
And remember NO FRONT TORSEN DIFFERENTIAL but you get a heads up display. Loose capability and gain a damn heads up display… got it.
Not crazy about those taillights. They're a mix of 3D Tetris, Tron and Lego blocks.
Ford Motor Company in a few more cars use a Ted unit in the seats the reason why it cool better because it uses a blower German cars just use individual fans in the seats that's the difference they did not design the seats to make you feel cold they design them just to keep air circulating in the seats just for you not to stick to the seats
I don't know man my Rams back seat is probably a little bit bigger
You should really buy something like a Ford Fusion again and modify the sht out of it. Its more down to reality for people and it goes back to your roots :)
I asked in your other video, but what happened to your f150nthat you supercharged when it broke down?
That was a million years ago, I can’t even remember lol
@@AutoVlogOfficial lol.. I hear ya man.. was just curious is all. I'm fixing to whipple.my brand new 23 f150 and just gathering info..
We need a danger ranger video we missed it
Pre favelift looks better for sure. This car thing happens often sadly.
Nope. IMHO, the Gen 2 then Gen 3 pre-face have the best front ends. But hey, it’s a Raptor I’ll take any version but don’t see the need to upgrade from my Gen 2 just based on looks. Now for an R, that’s a different story. 😂
Still 720p video, please 1080p should be a minimum. But great entertainment video
Get your hands on a shelby 1.
23 looks much much better.
Ram RHO is going to give v6 raptor a run for its money…. Better features and cheaper
That’s what im thinking.. ram RHO better look better interior more HP and cheaper!
The 2025 Ram RHO is gonna stomp the regular Raptor..And it's priced about $8,000.00 less.
My ram 1500 crew has more leg room in the back seat
Ordered my Raptor R $145,000 shelter green
nice. post a vid when you get it!
Tundra would like to speak wkth you regarding secons row space
I’m not eating McDonald’s in that truck if i owned it lmao
Gen 2 model to me is the better looking raptor.
What about the RAM RHO? I like the TRX, but the RHO is a good option too.
Love your vids man! Just hate Fords.. just ordered the Ram RHO
What did you include in your order? Just curious what you got and what you paid?? I'm looking at getting an RHO as well. Doesn't seem like these raptors have the quality for an 80k truck.
Get an amg gts/gtr!!
Moon business park!!!
It one nice look Truck
Get a macan gts
My Tundra crewmax has so much room in the back for my 2 sons 6 foot and 6’1
2023 front end looks a lot better IMO. The 2024 headlights (and taillights) aren’t as good looking and the squiggly lines above and below the FORD are terrible. The rest of the truck is good.

Put A Turbo In The Danger Ranger And Test The Top Speed!
