My grandpa has this car car and he's like 80 and goes 10 less than the speed limit and when i tell him to go faster he says “do u want me to get pulled over??” 😂
austinhockey11 No issues whatsoever besides a few recalls. Now at 80K miles. I should note that I’ve ran nothing but Premium Fuel in it since I bought it new. Plan on keeping this until the Gen 3 Raptors or RAM TRX comes out (whichever has a V8 option). But I highly recommend this truck, I love it.
@@SPHINX144 i would buy a ford over any Land Rover car any day, I want reliability for my work and everyday life and Range Rover cars are only famous thanks to the Kardashians
Amusing little bit of trivia: My son worked as an assembly line lead at the Ford Rouge plant, and was asked to build the first Raptor at the plant so the line engineers could observe techniques and make adjustments to the processes. When he finished assembling the truck and they were done with their notes, they showed their appreciation by letting him pick the color he wanted them to paint it. He chose to have it painted like one of his dad's modified track cars, and they laughed, but they did it in the closest color they could get. And this is the part that Doug will probably cringe at, but it's absolutely true: The first assembly mule (At the Rouge plant anyway) for the F150 Raptor was painted in honor of a 2004 Electric Blue Chrysler PT Cruiser.
i am very surprised nobody is screaming and crying out saying this is fake, im am very jealous of your son cause i want to be able to do that, but i found a new car company called Lucid Motors im going to try to apply and work for
problem is nobody cares about the aztec for longer than a single video of showing how ugly and quirky it is. much more interesting to pick a car that could be a challenge to live with in some way or another and he can put out multiple videos on it. much like the range rover which is notorious for breaking down and watching the monthly billing of repairs from the bumper to bumper guarantee was pretty funny.
This has gotta be the most powerful V6 on the market. I never thought I’d see the day a V6 would break 300 and here we are at almost 500. It’s pretty amazing...
Man. I don't even have a love of cars or anything or need a new car but I just love watching these videos. I've been watching for like 6 hours straight. Somehow I look up and it's night time.
I like how in every other video the comment section is very tame, but here all the truck fanboys lose their shit over which ever company their daddy's truck has.
I'm a GM/Dodge truck fan, but this Raptor is the one Ford I'd be willing to buy. It's practical, bad ass and luxurious. Great combo. I wish GM would do one with the Silverado or Sierra because for me, those just look so much better styling-wise, but I'd take a Raptor.
Carbon ZL1 is the Chevy Silverado All Star Edition that they always show the commercial about better than the regular Silverado or is it just that they have different livery's and rim colors?
- not true only idiots wreck them they are not bad actually for being a stock truck a way more improvement from the first gen. For that much money they are literally giving you a stock factory built pre runner. Ive driven in these trucks out in the open desert and i can say theres a reason they are worth that much. Great trucks for the price! better than getting a king ranch thats for sure.
We used a Raptor up in Scotland for moving equipment and stuff to the locations we were going to use. As a Brit I can't really get involved with the Dodge v Ford stuff or even the V6 v V8 sound stuff as the EU thinks anything that's not super hybrid should be illegal, but I can say this. Those things are beasts. We had no problem with getting stuck or rough bounces damaging equipment, it was very happy in the wet marsh and on the slopes themselves. Hungry, it did eat more than the land rover and the 2 Nissan pick ups we had but it was the only thing we didn't get stuck, or damage a tire, or scrape the underside too badly. We pointed it at any problem and it did the job we asked of it. I may not know a great deal about US trucks, but the one we had was an off road and rough terrain work horse of a machine. If I needed to go out to a location like that again, or something similar I would see if I could get a raptor again. Sure, I might scratch the paint. but it's designed for heavy off roading. that's the point of a raptor. In my mind if a truck like this has scrapes and scuffs then it's being used properly. They are a nice looking truck, but I like my machines to do the job I ask of them beyond anything else. function over form. so if this version is anything like the one I used, it's going to be a real tough and versatile truck which I'd be happy to take on assignment.
Joy banger101 if you read my post I clearly state we had a Land Rover and two Nissan 4x4s and they didn't perform as well. The Nissan's couldn't deal with the terrain properly and the land rover was better, but didn't have the ground clearance or the power to really take on some of the harsher Rocky areas. Considering we used the winch on the raptor to repeatedly free the stuck Nissan's I can safely say a standard 4x4 would not have done the job.
Never really been into trucks but this has changed my mind, it's really cool! The only problem is that we have to pay around $145,000 for it here in Sweden :O
The contrast between the videos and comments are funny. I've seen a lot of Raptor videos and the 2017 Raptor has put a smile on everyone's face who has driven it. Then you read some of the comments. I can only conclude the haters are either upset because their car company of choice has nothing that competes with the Raptor, or they're upset because they want but can't afford one.
Ford has really done well recently with these high powered engines. The Ford Focus RS also made everyone smile. I just hope they will come out with a V6 Mondeo or something powerful. The RS lacks the spare tire and well, the space.
I bought my 2017 Raptor 2 weeks ago and Love this truck. I was one of those hard core off-road guys that always dismissed & laughed at the Raptor owners when they would talk up their trucks, a lot of that still stand but it's against the Gen 1 trucks and Definitely not the Gen 2 because all the points that were laughable have been addressed and fixed/removed/replaced. Before I purchased my Raptor I visited and test drove every competitors truck and even the 3/4 ton trucks and not one of them came close when looking at the truck as a whole. It's got the softest seats & suspension & when you have permanent lower back issues those to things are a massive plus. The rear passengers get not only air ducts(cough Chevy Cough) they get USB, 12V & 110v outlets & Seat Heaters. I normally don't worry about the rear passengers but those are hard to ignore. Everyone do yourself a good deed and if you can afford it Get Yourself A Gen2 Raptor & enjoy driving again & get that feeling of owning a Bad Ass Truck. Wow this was longer than intended but I just love ❤️ my truck.
machel buchanan can answer any questions ya got, two completely different vehicles but I can see the delimea Camaro is quick but the streets are getting so bad ya can’t use the call more than 60% where as Raptor’s twin turbo boosting to 20psi do get it up moving quicker than any other truck this fast beast doesn’t have to slow down to 60% for shitty roads. Ya get to go 100% even when the road ends.
Official Kelby You can buy Ford Ranger Raptor little brother of F150 Raptor. If you don't like give it to me its my first time truck ever in my life.. Greetings from Philippines!
This is hands down the best Raptor review I've watched online. Doug's enthusiasm and spontaneous reactions makes this review fun. Love the way the Raptor's features are covered without being long-winded or boring. I hope Ford offers a stripped version of the Raptor next year with a much lower starting price.
Russell Evans highly doubt it. The lightning didn’t sell well at all. Plus everyone wants a lifted/big truck. No one wants a lowered race truck, even though I would take one.
This was supposed to be the successor to lightning but it ford realize it not very easy to make a pick up truck for the race track so they said fuck it and made an off-roader
its bullshit,the small pickup truck protection laws were a good thing till they killed all small pickup production,and now you can't buy an affordable small pickup,the law should be scrapped
The only problem with an off-road vehicle that is HEAVILY electronic is that if something goes wrong 200km away from the nearest workshop, a simple problem could immobilize the entire vehicle.
Lawson Palmer take it from a mechanic, you're wrong. You can rip any non vital engine harness wire out from under it off road and it will still function just fine. Computer reverts to pre-programmed data, will not have "optimum performance" but will keep going just fine.
Johnny Boy the dealership I work at wants 87,000 for one in the same color as the one in the video it's been here for two months and no one has even test drive it yet lol
A few months back, I called the dealer about a mile down the road from me and said I was interested in the Raptor (and was willing to pay MSRP). They told me $15k over sticker is what they were asking. I told them I would never step foot in that dealership again. A week later I went to another dealership and decided to just just go with a leftover '16 F150 Platinum that was on the lot. So, the first dealership lost the sale, and will never see my truck in their service bay. I hope they think that was worth the $15k.
Lee Mychajluk That's supply in demand, they have that right to charge what it's worth. Unless they wronged you it's childish. MSRP is not the law of the land.
Crocodile Dundee @ the Chevy dealership: - Nick, give him your wallet! - What for? - He's got a truck! - That's not a truck. [In rolls Ford Raptor] - That's a truck.
such a strange phenomenon Though i can probably guess that most of the people buying new Raptors are first time raptor owners and don't know much about the older truck And I guess by that logic the haters are mostly first generation Raptor owners (like my dad and I)
wasup I went from my 2013 Gen 1 Raptor to the Gen 2 and I must say I have zero regrets. Of course the sound is not the same but god damn this thing is powerful. As soon as I test drove it I was ready to hand in my keys to the Gen 1.
Daren Foertsch Is it one of Doug's plates? He collects plates. Looks like PA plates later in the video. Maybe the owner didn't want his plate number on camera.
What blows my mind is he's in a specialty off-road performance truck with big A/Ts and 14" suspension travel yet says "I'm amazed i can barely feel these bumps"
Peter Welsh most large trucks have a terrible ride. The suspension is stiff to it doesn't bottom out when you have a full bed. Every truck I've been in you feel every bump.
Isaac Simpson yeah yeah ram is all nice and stuff But ford impressed me when they engineered a v6 that generates 450 hp Which is higher than a ram limited with hemi
Carmax can be very fair sometimes the problem is people come in and think they have the top of the line package and they don't, plus mechanical problems or dents scratches etc.. you usually make more selling to a private party but they don't know what to look for!
@Tyler they was actually pretty fair with me but I don't doubt what you are saying sometimes but I feel like that can be said for a lot of car lots and companies whether you are selling or buying.
Had a Escalade ESV with the 6.2L. Currently have a Gen2 Raptor. It's the best of both worlds. Regarding the steering, you can adjust it for Comfort, Normal & Sport mode. Makes the steering SUPER SHARP!
Hope Doug doesn't pick the Raptor to buy, RUclips is getting flooded with content around this car, he needs something more outside the box like the Hummer that gave him a big boost in content
Unimog ;) We had one at our firedepartment in germany. if where on a emergency drive on the autobahn with blue lights sirens and stuff - people where always looking. and we where always cheering when we got over 60. km/h. thats 40. that thing need yellow lights. but offroad? no one beats that thing there. exept for a tank.
I cry every time I see this video. Born in the wrong country with astronomical import duty, I'd have to shell out $200,000 if I were to import this beauty.
+King Zak The tax never works, all it does is place an artificial limit on affordable vehicles to the average consumer. But then again libtards don't want people to drive anyway so it's a win-win for them.
11/5/17, The avg guy's not going to spend $70k++ on a fancy truck, much less a contractor/commercial business. I have a 2015 Taurus I just had serviced, the dealer says they sell maybe 2 of those in a year.
Preston Weiters Jr. They sell 2 a year due to allocation there speciality vehicles. When it comes to inventory Ford treats these the same way they treat Shelby's. Alot of dealerships actually charge 5-15g OVER sticker due to scarcity. You are right however this particular truck is NOT affordable luckily you can get the "rich guy" tailgate in a low level Lariat and the sliding window, tailgate step and trailer backup are available on the XLT. (Source I work at a Ford dealership.)
The Raptor is probably my favorite Ford truck. I used to have a used 2010 and the interior was SUPER comfy. I loved it but my mom sold it to someone who kept it in a barn for 6 months though😑...
I really want Doug to review my 93 gmc sierra lol he'd love to drive it since you can turn the whole fuckin steering wheel before the wheels even move lmao
You'd be surprised. There are two Ikea's, a fist-full of home depot's, a number of very decent parks which one can trail ride, and a number of "always-grid-locked-during-rush-hour" highways where the comfortable captains chair of a big plush "raised up high" seat can ease the AM/PM commute. And the off-road opportunities abound. I mean there is hardly a private home that doesnt have at least some green lawnage on the front that one can have the occasional excursion and experience that 14" of travel with those 35" tires. . totally worth the $65k cost of entry. I mean, doesnt 'everyone' have $65k throwing about betwixt the old reciepts, loose coins, and pocket lint in ones blue jeans?
Im very familiar with Philadelphia. its a shit city. ... CITY !!! These trucks are HUGE and have massive shocks menat for some serious off roading... OFF roading. You can still visit ikea and home depot in a hatch back. people that buy these things are idiots.
I don't get why people get so bent out of shape about how others spend their hard earned money. You don't want to buy a Ford Raptor? Guess what? You don't have to.
Its not fake actually - its the actual sound of the truck amplified. Many car manufacturers are doing this because people want quiet and insulated cabins... until they don't. Best of both.
Doug didn't 'Doug Score' the Raptor in this video, but at some point he did and gave it an overall 67 which is only 6 points short from his top score vehicle at 73 points...the 918 Spyder. That says something about this pickup truck.
twin turbo v6 15 mpg city 18 mpg highway. 6.2l 12 mpg city (if your manual shifting it) 16 mpg highway. 5.4l 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. 1st things first if your main focus is gas mileage then the raptor probably is not the best vehicle for you. If your looking for a truck to run fast 0-60 times probably shouldn't get a super-crew pickup that ways 6,000lbs plus. Granted this truck can do it all with that twin turbo V6, i just see all the moving parts as a real hassle if you intend to keep it for a long time. Granted if i bought it i would just save up and prepare for those costs. I would probably just go with an older 5.4l raptor put a full exhaust, high-flow intake and ported heads.
I live in the uk and absolutely love this beast! I think ford get the uk all wrong in regards to market research because there's a lot of people who love a pick-up over here but knowing ford we'll get a version five years late to the party with a 2.5lt diesel... Woop Woop.
Paul Williams I'm a hard core chevy guy and I just bought a '17 Raptor. Not regretting it one bit either, even the little jab jokes from my ChevyGang buddies.
What I don't understand is why they put all these towing features in a truck with a maximum 6,000 lbs tow capacity. Put that stuff in the Limited or the Platinum. The Raptor is a (very fun) toy not meant for towing anything substantial.
joegocal probably because the average owner will tow no more than about 6-8k lbs. Many owners of a raptor will probably own other toys that will need towing, i.e. ski boats, wave runners, bass boats, ATVs, even utility trailers. It is a truck, after all. I bet less than 20% will use it off road as intended...
Joe Chevy when trucks will be driving themselves. Insurance will be sky high for cars that HUMANS have to drive. Just thinking about a future like this would be scary.
PAKISTANI REVIEW: Excellent review Doug, when you said its worth every penny of $65k. I love big trucks like Toyota Vego, Tundra etc etc but this beautiful RAPTOR is just above & beyond every other option out there. I hope i could save & buy a truck someday.
My grandpa has this car car and he's like 80 and goes 10 less than the speed limit and when i tell him to go faster he says “do u want me to get pulled over??” 😂

Kamal Lenovo With oil prices just going up that’s not bad.. I’m waiting for a 4 cylinder turbocharged land cruiser to come out 😂
Actually Ford Performance announces that they are testing v8s in their next gen
Doug the type of guy to call the network when the football game makes 60 Minutes start late
Q: What was the first car Henry Fordasaurus invented?
A: A Model T-Rex.
Heres why a Mattel Big Wheel is worth $29.99
GENERAL ZOD we've gotta get Doug to review the big wheel.
This is hands down the best Raptor review I've watched online. Doug's enthusiasm and spontaneous reactions makes this review fun. Love the way the Raptor's features are covered without being long-winded or boring. I hope Ford offers a stripped version of the Raptor next year with a much lower starting price.
Ford hit paydirt with this truck. These trucks are fast as hell. Wonder if Ford will ever bring back the lightning....
Russell Evans highly doubt it. The lightning didn’t sell well at all. Plus everyone wants a lifted/big truck. No one wants a lowered race truck, even though I would take one.
Jace Jackson idk where you live but here in Phoenix alot of ppl drop there Silverados lol not ford to much .
This was supposed to be the successor to lightning but it ford realize it not very easy to make a pick up truck for the race track so they said fuck it and made an off-roader
Jace Van Vliet these trucks always sell out in the pre-orders every year so I don’t know where you get the “no one wants” from lmao
This is the lightning, it’s an svt
Was expecting him to talk about the rear doors
I love the expression on your face when you floor it in all the different vehicles you drive. You have the dream job for someone who loves cars.
Doug. You are not an idiot
Maanit Trivedi he's a huge idiot
And in 2021 it's still selling for $65k great job Ford!! Not many cars/trucks hold their value this well.
$65,000 of 'Merica
Hot Cosby it would be merica if the truck haved a v8
danthebig__Z :v haved?
Nah some features are too sophisticated
Rene Valladares
Like he sayed merica
its bullshit,the small pickup truck protection laws were a good thing till they killed all small pickup production,and now you can't buy an affordable small pickup,the law should be scrapped
The only problem with an off-road vehicle that is HEAVILY electronic is that if something goes wrong 200km away from the nearest workshop, a simple problem could immobilize the entire vehicle.
Lawson Palmer take it from a mechanic, you're wrong. You can rip any non vital engine harness wire out from under it off road and it will still function just fine. Computer reverts to pre-programmed data, will not have "optimum performance" but will keep going just fine.
Lawson Palmer well that was reassuring thanks man
65,000? MY LOCAL DEALER WANTS 95,000 because of around 20,000 dollars of "premium vehicle" tax!
Johnny Boy the dealership I work at wants 87,000 for one in the same color as the one in the video it's been here for two months and no one has even test drive it yet lol
Sounds like a 40k increase by my calculations?
6star what sort of calculations are those?
A few months back, I called the dealer about a mile down the road from me and said I was interested in the Raptor (and was willing to pay MSRP). They told me $15k over sticker is what they were asking. I told them I would never step foot in that dealership again. A week later I went to another dealership and decided to just just go with a leftover '16 F150 Platinum that was on the lot. So, the first dealership lost the sale, and will never see my truck in their service bay. I hope they think that was worth the $15k.
Lee Mychajluk
That's supply in demand, they have that right to charge what it's worth. Unless they wronged you it's childish. MSRP is not the law of the land.
Crocodile Dundee @ the Chevy dealership:
- Nick, give him your wallet!
- What for?
- He's got a truck!
- That's not a truck. [In rolls Ford Raptor]
- That's a truck.
Teasing the new doug car eh?
Generic Memes that's what I thought as well
so much hate yet so many sales, lol
such a strange phenomenon
Though i can probably guess that most of the people buying new Raptors are first time raptor owners and don't know much about the older truck
And I guess by that logic the haters are mostly first generation Raptor owners (like my dad and I)
wasup I went from my 2013 Gen 1 Raptor to the Gen 2 and I must say I have zero regrets. Of course the sound is not the same but god damn this thing is powerful. As soon as I test drove it I was ready to hand in my keys to the Gen 1.
wasup ł
Adam Green You should of kepped your gen1 and turbocharged it.
frank acevedo kepped????
Notifications from doug are like gift from god
I stare at the phone screen everyday at the same time of the day waiting for another video.
Marco Aurélio Dantas get a life
no1 god ain't real
Doug is the reason I now own a 2019 Raptor
Me too! I suspect the commission he gets from ford for every Raptor he helped sell over MSRP helps pay for his Ford GT
anyone else notice the u.s senate plate?
Now thats pretty fucking cool
yea, which means a asshole owns it.
lol i commented the same thing 6 months ago
we think the same.
Daren Foertsch Is it one of Doug's plates? He collects plates. Looks like PA plates later in the video. Maybe the owner didn't want his plate number on camera.
why does every Doug Demuro video feel like a weird ad
Flamed65 nah, that's not it
Daniel Baker the work word "quirks" is used a trillion times that's why fam.
It's hard for him to borrow somebody's car and then shit all over it with the person sitting next to him lol.
Zero Accords, since you used the word "fam," your whole statement is invalid.
Philip J. Hill kk familia
What blows my mind is he's in a specialty off-road performance truck with big A/Ts and 14" suspension travel yet says "I'm amazed i can barely feel these bumps"
yeah. The only other off road vehicle that has a comfy ride is a Land Rover.
Peter Welsh most large trucks have a terrible ride. The suspension is stiff to it doesn't bottom out when you have a full bed. Every truck I've been in you feel every bump.
You've obviously never driven a pickup
+Mrbombs102 thats for leaf springed trucks, this one i think even has adjustable dampers so that should be no problem at all.
Peter Welsh looks like you've never been in a truck. My truck is super soft.... When its loaded but when its empty good luck
Ford is killin it right now 💯
I've been saying the same thing. I need a F150 bad !
MOPAR: Hold my beer
They been always killing
Isaac Simpson yeah yeah ram is all nice and stuff
But ford impressed me when they engineered a v6 that generates 450 hp
Which is higher than a ram limited with hemi
Albara ya they’re both amazing.
"Any idiot can get on the back of this truck... Such as myself." Hahaha, oh Doug your comedy is spot on in your videos. I always laugh watching them.
Best FORD made in the last 20 years :)
FSXNOOB - GᗩᗰᕮS & ᗰOᖇᕮ Wrong, those twin turbo 3.5 l V6's will fail at around 100k miles. 6.2 l Raptor was far more reliable and better sounding
Ford GT seems legit
X___V1cT0R___X Any forced induction engine has less of a lifespan than NA engines. Your comment means nothing.

Ford Focus RS and GT sick too :)
This was so much better then parkers review!!!
imranp128 That can't be hard to beat.
Doug is the type of guy to buy a trailer and call it Doug
no, he'll name it Bob. proven by one of his videos, GMC Sierra or what, when he tested infotainment system with trailers adding feature
Doug DeTrailer
This thing is friggin loaded and awesome!!! I never knew a pickup could be this full featured.
Thinking about selling my 2018 Raptor but just took it to carmax and they low balled me. I put the video on my channel to warn people
Will Motivation of course dude carmax is a bad place to make deals or trades in
yeah everyone knows carmax is awful but why would u want to sell your raptor?
Carmax can be very fair sometimes the problem is people come in and think they have the top of the line package and they don't, plus mechanical problems or dents scratches etc.. you usually make more selling to a private party but they don't know what to look for!
@Tyler they was actually pretty fair with me but I don't doubt what you are saying sometimes but I feel like that can be said for a lot of car lots and companies whether you are selling or buying.
I m short about 67thousand to by this cool truck LOL
Braaah lmao
@Eagle1 That's fucked up lol.
Go to college
Call Dave Ramsey
Be a drug dealer
Had a Escalade ESV with the 6.2L. Currently have a Gen2 Raptor. It's the best of both worlds.
Regarding the steering, you can adjust it for Comfort, Normal & Sport mode. Makes the steering SUPER SHARP!
Baja mode with the mapping set to sport mode along with the steering set to sport makes the thing feel like a HYUUUGE S2000
Hope Doug doesn't pick the Raptor to buy, RUclips is getting flooded with content around this car, he needs something more outside the box like the Hummer that gave him a big boost in content
Unimog ;) We had one at our firedepartment in germany. if where on a emergency drive on the autobahn with blue lights sirens and stuff - people where always looking. and we where always cheering when we got over 60. km/h. thats 40. that thing need yellow lights. but offroad? no one beats that thing there. exept for a tank.
He already owned a hummer.
Justin Kamerman my wife has an h2 its fucking gay
Daniel Maia ew lol
Daniel Maia he should get like a old Chevy dually
i will work my entire life to get this truck
by the time you get enough money, emissions control will be too strict for anything above a 0.5 liter 3 cylinder
This truck will be an antique after all that time
Supremley 😂😂
I didnt mean it would take my entire life
John Valenti yes you did...
*DOUGLAS has forgotten* to review the second row of seats.
Bro you didn’t explain us about the back door with back seats 😅
I cry every time I see this video. Born in the wrong country with astronomical import duty, I'd have to shell out $200,000 if I were to import this beauty.
computer man lmao relax mr trump
Gotta pay for that "free" healthcare somehow!
lol. we just invade people for no reason. but no doubt people here are very kind hearted. most people.
+King Zak Bullshit, many of those countries don't even have a major auto industry. Just another excuse to tax the little people.
+King Zak The tax never works, all it does is place an artificial limit on affordable vehicles to the average consumer. But then again libtards don't want people to drive anyway so it's a win-win for them.
Opening a tailgate manually is for poor people lol
11/5/17, The avg guy's not going to spend $70k++ on a fancy truck, much less a contractor/commercial business. I have a 2015 Taurus I just had serviced, the dealer says they sell maybe 2 of those in a year.
Preston Weiters Jr. Its pisses me of when i cant find a video that actually shows a pick-up doing real pick-up work not car performance.
Preston Weiters Jr. They sell 2 a year due to allocation there speciality vehicles. When it comes to inventory Ford treats these the same way they treat Shelby's. Alot of dealerships actually charge 5-15g OVER sticker due to scarcity. You are right however this particular truck is NOT affordable luckily you can get the "rich guy" tailgate in a low level Lariat and the sliding window, tailgate step and trailer backup are available on the XLT. (Source I work at a Ford dealership.)
Nobody on a work site wants that shit... FURD TURD CRAPTOR IS JUNK
wheelmanvicful hey popes are awesome
Where are the "doug is the type of guy" comments
Above your comment
@@ys0456 lol
probably they weren't born yet, the video is too old
Here ya go..."Doug is the type of guy to name his trailer 'Doug'".
The Raptor is probably my favorite Ford truck. I used to have a used 2010 and the interior was SUPER comfy. I loved it but my mom sold it to someone who kept it in a barn for 6 months though😑...
A used 2014 Raptor that has driven 40.000 miles costs about 120.000$ in Norway. Don't complain about 65.000$ hahaha
Please do: "Why the Lada Niva is worth $500" 😂
I really want Doug to review my 93 gmc sierra lol he'd love to drive it since you can turn the whole fuckin steering wheel before the wheels even move lmao
Top Gear's Canadian Rescue Episode...with a Raptor.... was FREAKIN ' EPIC !!
All of the towing features are available on non-raptor F-150s
Robb Chase raptors are for those who can afford them or those who need to compensate for something
What about those who want to go offroading and do a bit of wheelin?
SuzukiKid400 Then you should get a Jeep
I bet very few of these will get taken off road. The owners would be too afraid of scratching their expensive toys.
Most of the features he listed are available on some other trim of the F150 tbh, you'd think he'd be bothered to research this shit
Dude your reviews are genius.If you upgrade to 4k camera it would be even better
ChuggRyn I'm guessing you're either blind or don't have a 4K monitor/TV
Harmzy 1 jackass
Blinker fluid needs to be changed.
This guy knows some pretty good shit
C A L E B V E E orange fluid for orange lights, clear fluid for clear lights 😂
Maybe some soapy wooder for that exterior as well.
Emil Onanian I see your chrisfix reference lol
C A L E B V E E Might as well change the muffler bearings and winter air in the tires while you're there.
Very nice truck . There's 2 of them on my local dealers lot. Both are 2018 models @ $69,850
That's pretty serious for most of us blue collar shlubs
This Is what A Man Really wants.
Harshit Langer nah
I've got both.
I bet that comes in REAL HANDY in the Philly area *cough* sarcasm *cough*
You'd be surprised. There are two Ikea's, a fist-full of home depot's, a number of very decent parks which one can trail ride, and a number of "always-grid-locked-during-rush-hour" highways where the comfortable captains chair of a big plush "raised up high" seat can ease the AM/PM commute. And the off-road opportunities abound. I mean there is hardly a private home that doesnt have at least some green lawnage on the front that one can have the occasional excursion and experience that 14" of travel with those 35" tires. . totally worth the $65k cost of entry. I mean, doesnt 'everyone' have $65k throwing about betwixt the old reciepts, loose coins, and pocket lint in ones blue jeans?
Im very familiar with Philadelphia. its a shit city. ... CITY !!! These trucks are HUGE and have massive shocks menat for some serious off roading... OFF roading. You can still visit ikea and home depot in a hatch back. people that buy these things are idiots.
I don't get why people get so bent out of shape about how others spend their hard earned money. You don't want to buy a Ford Raptor? Guess what? You don't have to.
Clearly you do care.
Doug, time for a 2019 Raptor update video with Blue Accent Recaro Seats and Live Valve Fox Shocks, thanks!
Hey! Doug your not an idiot. The world doesn’t deserve you but we are so grateful your here. Thanks and keep it up your doing great!
I legit thought he was about to say a heated tailgate @ 2:44 😂😂
I kind of want this truck.
There's something so attractive about the concept of this truck and it looks badass.
I bet you couldn't name anyone who WOULDN'T want this truck.
Aaron Castro Same Actually Ranger Wildtrak Or Raptor
May I just say, an 06' F150 Lariat has offroa skid plates with the 4WD option, and it also has a rear power window
BJ Gamer TV since when did ford start making Power rear window in 2006
Kongmeng Vang It's actually been an option on the F-150 since like 2004.
This is easily one of the greatest trucks ever made
"Even an idiot can get in the bed!"
Me, in a wheelchair: :(
Sorry to hear
@@toweringhorse2054 Thanks mate, don't worry though, on the bright side, I get to drive before most people ;)
Doug, you look noticeably happy doing this review. I bet you will buy a raptor
Close. He bought a gt
Has 10 speed trans, won't be in fast 8
Professa_252 you ever wonder if manufactures got the idea to have a shit ton of gears thanks to that movie franchise?
Best comment +100
I mean if you're gonna run down a 50 mile runway you might need 17 gears or so.
I don't think I've ever seen Doug so happy
Finally! Now this is something I could get into. I don't care about Bentley's, Rolls Royce's, but a Raptor is something that I actually could get.
Hmmmm... I think Doug likes this truck!
Christopher Hamilton he indeed likes it
He has paid to pretend it bro
awesome truck... fast... good looking... luxurious... nice interior.... only issue.... sounds like vacuum cleaner....
It sounds better in person, but sound isn't its strong suit. But believe me, you don't care once you're in the driver's seat.
Its not fake actually - its the actual sound of the truck amplified. Many car manufacturers are doing this because people want quiet and insulated cabins... until they don't. Best of both.
Doug didn't 'Doug Score' the Raptor in this video, but at some point he did and gave it an overall 67 which is only 6 points short from his top score vehicle at 73 points...the 918 Spyder. That says something about this pickup truck.
okay, okay, I agree, it's worth the money.
Doug you didn’t check over your shoulder when you merged on the interstate
@Enzo 1965 woman never do that sadly.😔 Only my mother.
@@floof4444 Crap. 😐
twin turbo v6 15 mpg city 18 mpg highway. 6.2l 12 mpg city (if your manual shifting it) 16 mpg highway. 5.4l 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. 1st things first if your main focus is gas mileage then the raptor probably is not the best vehicle for you. If your looking for a truck to run fast 0-60 times probably shouldn't get a super-crew pickup that ways 6,000lbs plus. Granted this truck can do it all with that twin turbo V6, i just see all the moving parts as a real hassle if you intend to keep it for a long time. Granted if i bought it i would just save up and prepare for those costs. I would probably just go with an older 5.4l raptor put a full exhaust, high-flow intake and ported heads.
wyndell wallace I think if you're buying a 60,000+ vehicle gas isn't going to be a big factor
Oklahoma bass fishing i totally agree
"super-crew pickup that ways 6,000lbs plus"
> pickup that ways 6,000lbs plus
> ways 6,000lbs plus
> ways
I live in the uk and absolutely love this beast! I think ford get the uk all wrong in regards to market research because there's a lot of people who love a pick-up over here but knowing ford we'll get a version five years late to the party with a 2.5lt diesel... Woop Woop.
I want this truck and I'm a Chevy GMC guy
Paul Williams get out of the darkside of the force (GM) and join the rebellion(FORD)
Paul Williams I'm a hard core chevy guy and I just bought a '17 Raptor. Not regretting it one bit either, even the little jab jokes from my ChevyGang buddies.
Chevy man here but Raptor is best truck.
I'm also a Chevy guy and the raptor is overall better
Paul Williams gmc = gay man chevy
Doug i love ur videos, good job!
What I don't understand is why they put all these towing features in a truck with a maximum 6,000 lbs tow capacity. Put that stuff in the Limited or the Platinum. The Raptor is a (very fun) toy not meant for towing anything substantial.
joegocal probably because the average owner will tow no more than about 6-8k lbs. Many owners of a raptor will probably own other toys that will need towing, i.e. ski boats, wave runners, bass boats, ATVs, even utility trailers. It is a truck, after all. I bet less than 20% will use it off road as intended...
those features are available on almost all F150's. that trailer back up assist came standard on my XLT.
It can tow more than 6k lol
I like the crew cab better. Always have liked the 4 full doors because it looks more full like it's not missing anything.
2020 version will include Spinal Tap mode
Auto transmission goes to 11
AdamG1983 Nice.
Finally I can concentrate on the car instead of Doug's beautiful Legs
I'll wait 10 years when it's worth $2000.
Joe Chevy when trucks will be driving themselves. Insurance will be sky high for cars that HUMANS have to drive. Just thinking about a future like this would be scary.
gonna have to wait a bit longer than 10 years. Raptors are one of the most resellable trucks on the market.
I don't think you know too much about value decay
PAKISTANI REVIEW:
Excellent review Doug, when you said its worth every penny of $65k. I love big trucks like Toyota Vego, Tundra etc etc but this beautiful RAPTOR is just above & beyond every other option out there. I hope i could save & buy a truck someday.
