I really like raptors especially the first gen raptor because it comes with a V8. I really thought the 2021 raptor would come with a V8 but it does not. But I hope and pray that Ford will put a Supercharged V8 in the Ford raptor.
@@jordanyarbrough4895 Where did they confirm this? All ford confirmed is a Raptor R is coming said nothing about the powerplant. Knowing the current day ford the R probably has the powerboost hybrid system lmao
You hit the nail on the head. People think that it's for off-roading ONLY . It needs to be said that most specialty vehicles like this still have daily driving capability and meant for that most of the time. With daily driving comes daily issues, but it's great to hear your ford has been mostly compliant given the nature of the vehicle .
Just got a 2019 raptor. Had a week and gone off road twice now. Next week will be a 3rd time... possibly 4th as well. It is a ton of fun off road. I love this thing
6:45 You can see the heating elements showing through the steering wheel on the top. I have a 2018 Raptor as well with this same problem. Dealer replaced the steering wheel without hesitation. Pretty common issue. New steering wheel feels much better.
The wind noise is just minorly noticeable on headphones, but not on something like laptop speakers, maybe some background music or software editing should fix that up. This is one of the few times I watched with headphones to hear some glorious revs. Awesome review.
True statement. “Most people don’t use a pickup truck for what it’s meant for” but I’m still not getting rid of my truck. The day I get rid of it is the day I’ll need one lol
I'd really like to see the raptor with the new 7.3 godzilla and the 10r140 transmission. If they made it with the I'd probably think about switching for it. That would be a true raptor too.
If I had a Raptor, like you said I wouldn't be some hard core off roader or anything like that. But it sure is nice to have that kind of toughness and capability if you ever really were to need it :) People would start to modify the v8 like the do on the Shelby's, gonna be some really nasty ones out there over 1k hp and even higher torque most likely if there's a v8 supercharged Raptor.
Solid review. Great truck. Dang, I want one! I am seriously considering the loaded 2022 Gen 3 Raptor, with the 35's not the 37's. Two quick questions, if you know the answers to: First, if I get the Raptor with the panoramic sunroof can I put a traditional roof rack above the cab, something to put ski or canoe/kayak attachments on? I don't care for the bed racks. But I also don't want a roof rack if it will interfere with the tight seal of the doors, so if you know about that aspect, please let me know as well. And second, Is there a well made tent that can fit into/over the bed, with the rear gate open/down for maximum length? I've never used one of that type, but I could see real use for it from time to time if it's made well, completely dry if raining out, and uses up as much of the bed space and open rear gate floor as possible so I could put either air mattresses or rolled out say latex foam sleeping surface inside. Oh, and I thought of a third question: Can or does it come with night vision? Might help see Big Foot if he's roaming around the campsite, or you know, bears or mountain lions or such. Thanks for the good review, and answers if you can. Thumbs up for sure.
I agree with your thoughts about the 5.0 versus the 3.5. Personally no matter how good the 3.5 is I would not even consider a truck without a V-8. Both my work truck (2020 XLT) and personal truck (2017 loaded XLT) are 5.0. Regardless, as nice as your new F-150 is I'm sorry and don't mean to offend you but with the side by side video I like the look of your wife's Raptor better. Best of luck and I hope that you totally enjoy your newest ride!
I absolutely love the Raptors but I would never own a truck that sounds like that. I just bought a F250 with the gas 7.3. Put custom dual exhaust on it and absolutely love it!
One down of owning a Raptor for me would be the terrible towing ability. On the other hand...who buys a Raptor and tows with it? Kinda counterproductive!
Thanks for being honest about the TRX. Next year, the Raptor-R may be king of the trucks again. Exciting times. New Ranger due. New Nissan Frontier this summer. New 2021 Honda Ridgeline exterior. Jeep Gladiator is the king for off-road. And yes, the old Tacoma is as reliable as every and maybe it will get updated in a year or two.
I GOT SICK OF WAITING FOR FORD TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE V/8!!!!! I JUST FEEL FORD IS JERKING US AROUND! SO I BOUGHT A HENNESSY 302 V/8 SUPERCHARGED TRUCK! & YES MIKE WE ❤️LOVE❤️IT!!! IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!
I don't understand why people pay for those things. I have one in my Cadillac and I never open it. I'm not into the sun beating down on me when I drive. The Cadillac just happened to have one, now when I buy a vehicle I make sure it doesn't have it. I don't care if it's free, don't want it
Its sad that we will not see that Raptor here in South Africa,here we only get the 2 .0 bi-turbo diesel which is not that all great,some of us would prefer n roaring v6 or v8 in a monster of a truck like that,good video Mike keep it up,from a rainy and wet Johannesburg,South Africa
Mike, buy a normal f150 and get it built into a v8 raptor. There is a company that does the conversions. That would be awesome and it would definitely be more interesting that a normal raptor.
It's Raptor, but it does not have to be offroad device, it's still capable light truck and people hauler just like big suv, that is why trucks are so convenient
In Sweden this car cost $130.000 and you have to pay ca $2.000 in roadtax every year and the petrol price is 3 times higher. You have to be really Rich to afford this car.
What was the issue with the panoramic sunroof? Did it creak and rattle on uneven pavement and going over holes? That’s my issue on my 2019 F150 Lariat sport; what’s the fix? Can anyone help out?
8:32 that is so weird, I just noticed this on my 2013 Ram, the door seal was blocking the opening so I cut the seal around it, just too weird how different manufacturers have the same things going on
Like if you guys are stoked that the 2022 Raptor R is bringing back the V8!!
I really like raptors especially the first gen raptor because it comes with a V8. I really thought the 2021 raptor would come with a V8 but it does not. But I hope and pray that Ford will put a Supercharged V8 in the Ford raptor.
So good to be Chef of your self nobody gonna tell you what to do keep going 👍
F**k yeah!
Kinda pissed they dumped the Scab option because not everyone like myself needs a Crew.
@@jordanyarbrough4895 Where did they confirm this? All ford confirmed is a Raptor R is coming said nothing about the powerplant. Knowing the current day ford the R probably has the powerboost hybrid system lmao
Wow. 3 yrs. I remember the whole surprise setup at the park like it was yesterday. Your wife’s excitement was priceless.
Time really do fly... I was there with the Fusion, saw the Raptor coming and now we are 3 years further???
Online I actually found out his fusion was wrecked terribly by its last owner 😳
0:56 left sound channel cut off.
lol thought my speakers shit the bed at first until i moved the time back to check

Trx has an emblem of the T-Rex eating a raptor….
Shot fired!!!!!
I like the raptors, but that trx is a beast it will be cool to see them go head to head when the raptor gets the V8 back.
And I wish I only did 30k miles in 3 years but I’ve done over 60k in the past 3 years 😂
They only do about 10k miles a year I’ve done about 10k miles in my truck over the past 4 months.😂
38k in 2-1/2 years
What you guys be going to??? I done on 2014 Ford still own it till now. Got over 40k miles.....
@@BlessedEraProduction my 2010 has 315k miles on it lol, I drive whenever the oppurtunity arises, even if I don’t need to
I've done 100k miles 4.5 yrs.
I got a 2016 mustang. So far no major issues lol. Gonna end up driving it till it dies
Man i just love watching Mikes videos no
matter the content!!!z🤛🔥💪🏻
Same
I think it’s the beats 🎧 🎶 for me
@@bryceweaver8211 yeah do u know what they r called because I really like them
@@stanggang754 he gets them from a Dj. He’s mentioned his name before but, I can’t remember the name.
@@bryceweaver8211 I think most of his music comes from Epidemic sounds. I think he mentioned that in a live stream a while back.
Thank you so much for the update video. I always seem to learn a lot from the content that you share.
The video surprising your wife with this truck is what brought me to this channel in the first place. Watched every video ever since
Lmao the pavement queen comment was hilarious. He sounded like a typical American 😂
Hard to believe I've been a viewer for that long time. Been here before the first C63.
Mike: Is Clorox paying a product placement fee? Ha Ha
eh wack
You better be getting that new raptor for the wife man lol
He would get lucky with his wife if he got her the TRX. Three times a week. 😂😂
@@ramrider1453 Trx vs raptor ???
@@smashingbrandon Lol. Gotta love a little competition. TRX for the win. And a happy wife👍👍
I remember subscribing right before you quit your job and orders the original amg
Great video mike! I just got my 21 platinum power boost finally a week ago and I’m already bugging my sales guy to order the new raptor lol
I cant believe how long I’ve been following you! Keep on keeping on Bro. 🤘🏻☘️
I can’t get more than 15,000 miles out of a raptor without timing chain issues. I’ve had an 18 and 20 model both needed timing chains at 15,000 miles.
man i thought my left speaker went out......dont do this! :D
No cold start :( but this works hahah 0:16 much love brother
Ford dropped the ball big time on the new Raptor. TRX is the new King of the Hill!
Most amazing truck ever
Awesome video Mike! I love this truck! That being said, I have to admit I still have a soft spot for a certain bronze 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium!😸
At the beginning I thought my headphones were dying. But no: was just the recording. I am so happy now
Nah the way StreetSpeed did that TRX no way it’s the king. Raptor still reigns supreme lol.
Ford and Toyota are king
No no no. Ford is Queen..😉😉😉
Fords Dual clutch Automatic Transmission is what you have when in sport mode manual shifting..

Those turbos are working like crazy in the beginning of the video
See a really good void on RUclips keep up the good work on RUclips mate keep up the good work on RUclips mate

My 2012 Raptor still smells new inside and has never seen rain @ 21k original owner miles!
I think a video comparing the headlights side by side at night, would be cool. 😀
Congratulations Miike great video!!!

The TRX gets about 7 mpg .
peace out from morocco !
What's with the sweatpants!?
What if ford brings out a 6.2 with a supercharger and the motor from the shelby gt350 (n/a) which are y'all going for?
6 2
Awesome video Mike!
I know you mentioned it in the video but I still can’t believe we only did one mod on this truck in 3 years! Let’s do an intake or something.
I agree that Ford should put a V-8 in the Rapture. Ram has stepped up their game. They may force Ford's hand in having a V-8 version.
I went back to BF GR tires but it’s me.
What tires do you like better?
Nice to see the Toyota dealership in the background.😎👍
Duude, Feels like it was 18 months ago you surprised your wife With That beast 🥳😝
Audio was very right bias for a couple of minutes. Thought AirPods were broken 😂
My right ear enjoyed the video.
I agree with your thoughts about the 5.0 versus the 3.5. Personally no matter how good the 3.5 is I would not even consider a truck without a V-8.

2022 trx is still king.
I absolutely love the Raptors but I would never own a truck that sounds like that. I just bought a F250 with the gas 7.3. Put custom dual exhaust on it and absolutely love it!
Sound is the most important thing
One down of owning a Raptor for me would be the terrible towing ability.
On the other hand...who buys a Raptor and tows with it? Kinda counterproductive!
8000lbs is more than 90% of what anybody would be towing anyways!
@@gokufighter21 no..I've seen many idiots towing campers with Raptors!
Thanks for being honest about the TRX. Next year, the Raptor-R may be king of the trucks again.
Exciting times. New Ranger due. New Nissan Frontier this summer. New 2021 Honda Ridgeline exterior. Jeep Gladiator is the king for off-road. And yes, the old Tacoma is as reliable as every and maybe it will get updated in a year or two.
I GOT SICK OF WAITING FOR FORD TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE V/8!!!!! I JUST FEEL FORD IS JERKING US AROUND! SO I BOUGHT A HENNESSY 302 V/8 SUPERCHARGED TRUCK! & YES MIKE WE ❤️LOVE❤️IT!!! IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!
I swear it's my dream car💖
It's a truck
Good stuff man
Someone explain how the speed transmission thingies work
I missed watching this channel. I wouldn't do a daily driving with the Raptor cos i want to keep for fairly long period.
Lucky wife she is gonna get the new raptor r soon lol
Looks so much better with the wheels powder coated!👍
what happened to the ferrari
Exactly why I made sure my 2015 & 2019 didn’t have a sunroof. Over priced & a source for problems.
I don't understand why people pay for those things. I have one in my Cadillac and I never open it. I'm not into the sun beating down on me when I drive. The Cadillac just happened to have one, now when I buy a vehicle I make sure it doesn't have it. I don't care if it's free, don't want it
What about the electric Hummer you talked about getting?
Very cool recap I love Ford
Mike wasn’t invited to Disney World 😂
Its sad that we will not see that Raptor here in South Africa,here we only get the 2
.0 bi-turbo diesel which is not that all great,some of us would prefer n roaring v6 or v8 in a monster of a truck like that,good video Mike keep it up,from a rainy and wet Johannesburg,South Africa
What brand of window deflectors did you put on?
Hope you all love your new one
This truck is about $55k in the USA, in sweden this truck cost about $120k. Pure madness because I would like to have one!!
Nice truck man
Toyo/Nitto tires are superior to BFGs. Got 100K miles on my last set of Toyo ATII rotating every oil change ( 5k miles)
Mike, buy a normal f150 and get it built into a v8 raptor. There is a company that does the conversions. That would be awesome and it would definitely be more interesting that a normal raptor.
With 30k miles I think it's a good thing that it hasn't had any issues.
now the issue is the Raptor R will not look like it sounds.
I saw the new raptor today and it still sucks the Trx is still king of the pick up trucks💯
Is that a Canada goose coat
I thought you were going to do more mods to the Raptor. There's a lot you could have done to it in three years.
It's Raptor, but it does not have to be offroad device, it's still capable light truck and people hauler just like big suv, that is why trucks are so convenient
Mike, Will you be waiting a year for the Raptor R?
Was subscribed but for some reason had to subscribe again today. Just FYI. Peace ✌️
What a beast 😎💪
In Sweden this car cost $130.000 and you have to pay ca $2.000 in roadtax every year and the petrol price is 3 times higher. You have to be really Rich to afford this car.
I would love to own a f150 especially a 2021 model. Next time, I am at the ford dealership, I might test drive one.
Time for a new Raptor. Make sure it’s the R!

Should never call her step step daughter. She is now your daughter.
Damn 3 years already 🤔
Ford - We have a Raptor
Ram - We have the TRX
Chevy/GMC - ???
Hummer
Soon as the girls are outta town, Mike is hanging loose in grey sweat pants... ;-)
At 30k miles there better not be anything going wrong with it
Love these vids. Curious, what did the 4 new tires cost you?
TheTRX is king of horsepower and that’s all. It’s to heavy for off-roading it bottoms out all the time.
