@itsreallyjakub I as well, it just goes to show that you put your mind to it, All things are possible, real happy, as well as seeing what the future holds
I think this is honestly a testament to buy a vehicle you actually want for cash and then maintain it! So many vehicles are built to last and will actually put a smile on your face when you drive them. I love the E55 wagon as an all Mercedes owner. C63s, E53, C400. My 2015 C400 lifetime ownership since purchasing new has been extremely low because I took care of it. Now that it has been paid off for years it is such a pleasure to drive!
I’ve always had that mindset. Probably because I didn’t really have money and didn’t have a choice but was raised like that. Glad to hear there are others like me
@@itsreallyjakub took me a lot of work and longtime to afford the cars I wanted. I think when you have that approach you appreciate everything and you take really good care of it. I also love your come ups in the watch game. I believe in your older videos you are rocking a seiko skx007
Amen to preventative maintenance Jakub!! My ‘14 is reaching 370k and climbing! Take care of her and she’ll take care of you!! Ps. If you haven’t already, give the truck a Krown treatment! Especially with the salt we have in the GTA, your frame will thank you!
This Raptor and Yuri's prowler inspired me to find my 1992 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Found one with 37,000 miles in 2019. Just hit 57k this year. Keep up the good work man.
Third brake light is raptor specific because it has 3 lights that are on all the time because of the width of the truck. Same reason it has marker lights at the four corners.
I remember watching your video when you purchased this truck. I had a 2018 Raptor at the time and watched because of the V8 Raptor desire. Fast forward to now and I have gotten rid of the Eco boost Raptor trash and have a TRX. I absolutely love it. Its a 2022 and only 13k miles on it, but I know there will be a time when I will get rid of it and with the prices of the V8 Raptor R and the Hellcat TRX going away and the price of new trucks in general, I am thinking I will buy an older Gen 1 V8 Raptor as they are affordable and the 6.2 liter engines are great. I really enjoy your Raptor videos so thanks for the value and entertainment. I am a few years away from a Gen 1 V8 Raptor, but your videos have helped with the information I need to solidify my decision when the time comes.
This channel is way more interesting than what TSP has become! I’ve switched to THe competition to TSP (I overdosed on car mat ads and all that) but I’ve subscribed to this and will keep watching.
I was in love when the raptor was dropped at the detroit auto show I went to back in high school. Fast forward today and I finally have my own raptor after a lot of saving lol
That’s awesome, congrats. Whenever I see people driving these I think they must be the most rich person because how much fuel costs are lol. I miss my 03 Lightning but I do not miss the 8mpg I got around town! Enjoy the Raptor! PS I was an engineer that worked on these (and other trucks, including the new Bronco!) so they’ll always have a fond spot in my heart ❤️
Very Cool Jakub! I'll admit I stopped watching straight pipes for some reason. But I promise I'll subscribe and watch again. Love this new channel too.
Bought a 2014 with 100k miles raptor 1.5 years ago for 29K. It was bald tires and blown shocks. I replaced with a Gen 2 coilverd. Since I’ve had it :Radiator, Radiator fans, transmission oil cooler, transmission, Rear drive shaft, cv axles, Brakes, full oil service, air filter, Spark plugs, cables, coils, battery, battery connectors, all led bulbs and led head light conversion. Blower motor resistor, Throttle body, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pressure sensor, alternator, starter, 4 wheel drive motor, rear window, lots of wiring fixes. The 2010-2014 f150 are generally the same and well designed trucks. Ford decided to make cheap parts 🤣. I’ve since done all the upgrades or lifetime warranty on parts. Some stuff was done ahead of full break downs.
That’s crazy I’m 44 and remembered seeing that exact color raptor when it came out at the auto show in Minneapolis. I wanted one bad I think it was my favorite at that years auto show until the following year…. When I saw the white L.F.A Lexus at the same auto show. We couldn’t buy it at the time. You were only allowed to Lease it. We thought why on earth would you want to only lease it? Wish I persuaded my wife to go after the L.F.A with what they are worth now. We could afford to retire early, even with this crazy inflation going on. Glad to see you got your Raptor with tasteful mods done to it. Very nice! I’ll have to get one.
I bought a 2020 gen 2 in 2022 with 53k miles. I’ve been doing about 27-30k miles a year. Knock on wood but there hasn’t been anything too too crazy. Mostly maintenance. Plan on doing a big bill of preventative maintenance middle of this year.
I’ve read a lot of problems with the Gen 2 so it’s great to hear that yours is good. You can ride on those shocks for a while but as soon as you get them rebuilt or replaced you’ll be like “oh…wow”
@@itsreallyjakub facts the gen 2 has a ton of small things that could be issues. And then cam phasers since it’s a ford. But mine has been ok so far. I think most of the guys that blow them up are doing hard core off road. Mine is just a daily, light off road, and tow rig for a 4500lb boat
Great breakdown! These are still some awesome trucks. I still get fired up when I see one of these out & about. While the gen 2 Raptors do not have body rust to worry about, the complexity of the eco-boost motor is going to make them a tough buy in the secondary market for long term use/reliability.
I pitched the Ford Raptor designer on remaking the Gen 1 with the Gen 3. Just offer the 7.3L Godzilla V8 for less money since it’s slower. Who cares. V8 and reliable! They haven’t taken my suggestion…yet
I got my 13' with 92k miles for $38k in 2021, it's now got 124k miles and up to this point I've been lucky to not have any issues or big expensive maintenance things! I've only replaced pads and rotors $500~ , and sunroof fix $100. I also did a Bentley style headliner, and 2 10" subwoofers 🫣
I’m happy to say that I bought a high mileage raptor and all I did was replace the shocks instead of having them rebuilt other than that the only thing that I’ve done is replace all items for better items and nothing has broken yet. I have not had the same issue as you thank goodness, although I did have a rust issue on my lower cab on both side.
Not to be "that guy" but I have a few bones to pick. Modifications aren't maintenance. The A/C Compressor and tires are maint., and new wheels are a modification. A new exhaust because the old one failed would be maintenance, a new exhaust because it is cool is a mod. Anything you change because you think it would be cool is a mod., anything you change because the vehicle requires it in maintenance. I'd split totals, here are the maint. costs, here is what I spent on mods. Also, you got bent over on the shocks, Rockauto has the replacement Fox shocks for a little over $300 each, I just replaced mine in Feb of this year and I used a discount code on top of that. I was nowhere near the $3000 or whatever your price was.
My 1st raptor was a 14 screw, loaded, charged, 124k mi for 23k. I just traded it for a 2013 f250 w/a 6.7l, tuned & deleted, fox 2.0 shocks, carli lift & suspension, 67k mi...i love them both, but man theres nothing like a gen 1 raptor...
Love your video and your new channel! "Car talk" and used cars are what we needed from StraighPipes, so this addition is perfect. I have a 2010 Raptor (black). It used to be my dream truck and I bought it at least partially due to your review. I LOVE it! I spent a lot on it but that was mainly preventative maintenance as well. Fun fact: I love the factory Raptor stance. I bought it "leveled" but reverted to the factory settings. Partially because the lights were blinding others. High beams left the first 8 meters of the road unlit, haha! I try to baby it while trying to have fun on- and offroad as well. Actually, it won a Sportsman cup in a drag race recently :) I understand where this world is heading to and who knows, I might go electric one day but until than I will enjoy the last bits of the V8 engines. Thanks again for the content!
Thanks! Congrats on the Raptor. I get the levelled thing. The springs are just a bit taller and I’m on the low perch so can’t go any lower. I pretty much never tow anyways lol
I like your videos and straight pipes which i have been watching for a while now. Your channel is excellent only because you have the content that i like plus your videos are not boring. Any wanting to buy a raptor may like the content that you post on youtube because they can learn about the ford raptor by owning one and see all the issues that may come while owning one.
Why aren't more videos on YT so straight to the point like this? There's absolutely no non-sense, just content to watch here and I absolutely love it. Please never change this style of videos.
I bought a 2009 Mazda 6 GT with like 190k around 8 years ago for $6,500. I still have it, now has 270k and is my girlfriend's daily. All time smartest vehicle purchase for the money and use I've gotten from it. +1 for high mileage purchases, especially dealerships in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. I'm from London but it seems there's some sort of sweet spot happening about an hour outside of Toronto. Commuters racking up highway miles.
the reason trucks lean forward is to compensate for sagging behind when loading or towing so as not to light up the sky instead of the road la raison pour laquelle les camions penchent vers l'avant est pour compenser l'affaissement du derriere lors du chargement ou du remorcage pour ne pas eclairer le ciel au lieux de la route
@@ProbablyThatGuyFord trucks are generally reliable as hell, go for it. I'm basically on the other end of the spectrum with a tiny little maverick hybrid getting 50 mpg in a truck, love that thing, never selling it.
@@themidnighttavern6784 Yeah! I've always been a fan. I had an '04 F150 for years before selling it at 240k miles. Think it might be time to jump back on that train.
sort of different category but. I bought my 08 escalade with 200k miles. zero regrets. runs and drives great. parts will be coming for it but still on top from buying one with 100k miles for another 15 grand as of like 2 years ago
I just bought a 2014, 396,000 for 11,500 in Ontario. Yep, it needs a bit of work, but overall, it's solid and runs perfect. I just did the Rockers at 3k and suspension is next. No truck payments and I'm gonna have some fun making it my own.
How bad is the rust on a used Raptor? My 2011 F150 has some starting on the cab and the box. I’ve looked at these older V8 Raptors but am worried they will suffer the same fate as my F150.
It looks so clean! My 2011 with 196k looks far older thanks to it’s long life in the Midwest. I went with new shocks from Rockauto, which was a no brainier over rebuilt. My wife has a 22 Acura MDX and I often grab the keys to my Craptor before the Acura. Unless I am going to a tight parking lot… Great video, thank you and keep going!
Ford really cared when it came to molten orange. The paint is in amazing condition. I had it paint corrected and ceramic coated a few years ago I forgot about that. Underbody has a bunch of surface rust but oh well
"That's Raptor specific. For some reason." The third brake light is Raptor specific because that is where they put three of the 5 marker lights required for the truck being so wide. Marker lights have to be on the front (amber) and the rear (red). The other two are directly below the tail lights.
Amazing video. Not to be a downer but this is interesting. I don’t care if the cup holders fit a small tims cup or if the visors extend. It obviously sucks if they don’t but I don’t watch RUclips to find that out. This! Is perfect!!!
I just purchssed a 2011 Raptor with 110k kms. Thankfully the previous owner just replaced the rear shocks but i do have to replace the fronts. Hopefully my springs arent cracked. Mine also has seized calipers.
Two things to do this year: 1. Get the underbody coated. Ford's are notorious for rotting out the frames/beds. 2. Have your mechanic Seafoam the engine. With that many miles Seafoam will clean all the gunk our of the internals.
Loved all the videos with this truck since you bought it! I’ve had a ‘13 since 2020 and am still in love with it! My only question is, who charged you $900 for the Geiser coils?!?! Anyway Happy Thanksgiving!
Shout out to Ben at Dixie-Bloor auto service, one of the best mechanics, I take my car to him whenever its needs service and he is always so helpful at fixing and explaining all the work.
Vehicles are an emotional purchase. you don't have to justify it. I love your wagon, I always wanted a stanced A4 wagon.. one day ill have it.. just need the garage first xd
I do t get the “seized up” thing people have. I have a 2013 with 196k and it sets for months on end since I drive a company truck and I’ve only ever had to replace the waterpump.
@@originalthundercat4295 sure sounds like it. I’m very lucky now with a triple car garage and a lift so this isn’t a problem for me anymore but it used to be
Start ordering roller rockers, lifters, timing chain kit, and if its a 6.2 get valve springs. I have 200k on my ford and the oil tensioner on bank 2 leaked oil causing a camshaft code.
This covers the reality of owning one of these.. I'm on the fence about purchasing a 11' with 260,000km on it in hopes that i can hold off on fixing the shocks for another year to save money. Convincing the wife that it's a good purchase is a whole other challenge! lol
I bought a 2012 Raptor with under 20,000 miles for $38,000 back in 2022. I put maybe $800 in it and would venture to say it’s still worth a good amount. Kbb says $31,000-$33,000 It has 44,000 miles now. My car math: basically lost $2500 a year while not having any headaches. It doesn’t matter what you pay. What matters is what it’s worth when you decide to sell.
On my 2012 extended cab I got the Morimoto headlights, break lights and 3rd brake / bed light. Still haven't installed the the marker lights because of the weather and I don't have a garage. But other than that I have a feeling that the spark plugs are going to need to be changed out right along with my breaks pretty soon. Other than that I am happy with my purchase, I might buy a 2nd Gen and give my 1st Gen to my daughter 🤔
Honestly this guy has so far paid way less than if he would’ve bought a newer one. Probably still worth about the same money he bought it for. Which would not be the case for a newer truck. I’d say good buy. Especially now you got all the maintenance done.
My dad had this same 1st generation Ford Raptor. Bought it brand new for about $40,000.00 US. He ended up getting rid of it though because it could never fit inside his garage and it drank gasoline like water!
@@itsreallyjakub Having the original window sticker is priceless when you buy your vehicle used! I have a 2021 F-150 Lariat, lifted 6-inches and riding on 35-inch tires with 22x12 inch wheels. I typically get 11-12 miles per gallon with my setup and hardly drive it because of that. But I love the truck though! So I understand your love for the Raptor. I wanted one, but these new Raptor's are priced out of this world!
@@killersodas7695 the 5.4s are known to be less reliable than the 6.2. So much to where they stopped putting them in the raptors in the lator years. Good luck
reminds me of a 2006 F150 Lariat 4 door pickup truck I used to have. I even got the quietest Flowmaster muffler put on and you romping on it reminded me of that v8 truck sound. Kinda miss it, plus cruising on the highway the engine was just purring like a kitten. Got me a 2000's Ranger pickup truck now, its a fun truck. It looked really cold in that garage youre in
I love your video being watching you for long time , I have quick questions I found Raptor 2018 has 235k km in the body but it has brand new engine replaced by ford ,do you think its good idea to buy or not , thanks for any advice
I guess I will go for the same things that you did buy v8 Raptor and fix it , Thank you for your advice and wish you first million subscribers in 2024 🎉
Wow that’s high mileage buying it with 350K on the clock. So all original engine and transmission with no rebuild. That’s great reliability from the drive train.

I like your videos and straight pipes which i have been watching for a while now. Your channel is excellent only because you have the content that i like plus your videos are not boring. Any wanting to buy a raptor may like the content that you post on youtube because they can learn about the ford raptor by owning one and see all the issues that may come while owning one.
Why aren't more videos on YT so straight to the point like this? There's absolutely no non-sense, just content to watch here and I absolutely love it. Please never change this style of videos.
Thanks, that’s why I started this channel. The oldschool RUclips. I probably won’t get the most views but I’m happy with what I’m going to make
That's my dream truck. I have a 2017 Ford F-150 3.5L and I love it
You can probably get one of these for less than your truck
@@itsreallyjakub NO way! I'm gonna look tho
I bought a 2009 Mazda 6 GT with like 190k around 8 years ago for $6,500. I still have it, now has 270k and is my girlfriend's daily. All time smartest vehicle purchase for the money and use I've gotten from it. +1 for high mileage purchases, especially dealerships in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. I'm from London but it seems there's some sort of sweet spot happening about an hour outside of Toronto. Commuters racking up highway miles.
Right on
Love the wheel and tire setup.
Thanks
the reason trucks lean forward is to compensate for sagging behind when loading or towing so as not to light up the sky instead of the road
la raison pour laquelle les camions penchent vers l'avant est pour compenser l'affaissement du derriere lors du chargement ou du remorcage pour ne pas eclairer le ciel au lieux de la route
Been on the fence about making a ridiculously awesome high mileage purchase... seeing the raptor updates may be the motivation I need.
Do it. What car?
@@itsreallyjakub First gen Raptor! Well see what comes of things; maybe by the next raptor update I'll have an update too....
@@ProbablyThatGuyFord trucks are generally reliable as hell, go for it. I'm basically on the other end of the spectrum with a tiny little maverick hybrid getting 50 mpg in a truck, love that thing, never selling it.
@@themidnighttavern6784 Yeah! I've always been a fan. I had an '04 F150 for years before selling it at 240k miles. Think it might be time to jump back on that train.
I love Ford Raptors, very reliable vehicles, but yes after ten years there are some OEM maintenance parts needing replacing. Overall great rigs 😊
14 years!
sort of different category but. I bought my 08 escalade with 200k miles. zero regrets. runs and drives great. parts will be coming for it but still on top from buying one with 100k miles for another 15 grand as of like 2 years ago
Right on
You are lucky to have good mechanics that don’t rip you off and over charge you.
I just bought a 2014, 396,000 for 11,500 in Ontario. Yep, it needs a bit of work, but overall, it's solid and runs perfect. I just did the Rockers at 3k and suspension is next. No truck payments and I'm gonna have some fun making it my own.
I think I saw that one for sale. Maybe not
How bad is the rust on a used Raptor? My 2011 F150 has some starting on the cab and the box. I’ve looked at these older V8 Raptors but am worried they will suffer the same fate as my F150.
@robyna8995 the frame on mine was great, but it was rust proofed through the years. The rockers and cab corners another story, spent 3k at body shop.
Great video! Puts perspective in used car ownership! beautiful pup btw.
Most parts are cheap because they’re shared with a regular F150. The special stuff is pricey but not terrible
This was a really, really good video. 😂😂 well done! The edits rocked. Pup is a superstar.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im totally going to buy the same headlights for my orange Raptor. Love the orange C camps.
Great info. Great presentation. Great editing. Great doggy. Great way to start my Saturday!
Awesome! Thank you!
It looks so clean! My 2011 with 196k looks far older thanks to it’s long life in the Midwest. I went with new shocks from Rockauto, which was a no brainier over rebuilt. My wife has a 22 Acura MDX and I often grab the keys to my Craptor before the Acura. Unless I am going to a tight parking lot… Great video, thank you and keep going!
Ford really cared when it came to molten orange. The paint is in amazing condition. I had it paint corrected and ceramic coated a few years ago I forgot about that. Underbody has a bunch of surface rust but oh well
Glad to see that you're still getting your money's worth and that it's still putting a smile on your face. 👌
Still love it just as much
That was good to watch.
Thanks, what did you like about it?
Love the rapter, it's always nice to see it in the spotlight
Glad people still like it
Jakub I'm liking your new site. Keep it coming Buddy 👍👍👍👍👍🍻 Oh and get that garage hooked up with HVAC.
It’s really well insulated so it stays fairly warm in winter and nice and cool in summer
So cool! Makes me want to buy a high mileage 4Runner and let my buddy at Ward Tirecraft maintain it for cheap!
You can buy headlights for it brand new that look like that for $256 and an led 3rd brake light for less than $50, thermostat $32..
"That's Raptor specific. For some reason." The third brake light is Raptor specific because that is where they put three of the 5 marker lights required for the truck being so wide. Marker lights have to be on the front (amber) and the rear (red). The other two are directly below the tail lights.
Correct
Please do a maintenance cost video on your whole garage. Algorithm eats those videos up. I've been waiting for this one!!
Winter was the worst time to start this channel 😂
Amazing video. Not to be a downer but this is interesting. I don’t care if the cup holders fit a small tims cup or if the visors extend. It obviously sucks if they don’t but I don’t watch RUclips to find that out. This! Is perfect!!!
Hey thanks for the feedback, all good!
I love how your dog is just sitting there.
He’s a good boy
I just purchssed a 2011 Raptor with 110k kms. Thankfully the previous owner just replaced the rear shocks but i do have to replace the fronts. Hopefully my springs arent cracked. Mine also has seized calipers.
Hey that’s pretty good! Bill won’t be too bad at all
Two things to do this year: 1. Get the underbody coated. Ford's are notorious for rotting out the frames/beds. 2. Have your mechanic Seafoam the engine. With that many miles Seafoam will clean all the gunk our of the internals.
It’s been undercoated. But I might get it honey sealed
I’m loving my gen 3 Raptor. Its a huge improvement over my ZR2 Silverado
Yeah that’s a big jump
Loved all the videos with this truck since you bought it! I’ve had a ‘13 since 2020 and am still in love with it! My only question is, who charged you $900 for the Geiser coils?!?! Anyway Happy Thanksgiving!
The front end dips from factory because its a truck and you load stuff in the back to level it out. Otherwise leveling kit
I load it with jumps 😂
Im a simple person, I see doggo, I like doggo, I like video.
Excellent
Everything is a trade-off, great vid explaining all the costs.
good video- I'm searching for a 1st gen / white / crew / 6.2 right now. Appreciate all the info you've provided
Good luck, no regrets!
Can't go wrong with an F series. My dads F250 he drove for almost 20 years pulling a massive 5th wheel around the US never once left him stranded.
Perfect
I just bought oem replacement shocks from Rock auto for around 1350.00 for all 4 on my '14 raptor
Yeah these prices are in Canadian. Terrible exchange rate. That’s $1800 cad + at least $200 in shipping
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
As a fellow yellow C6 owner I can’t wait to get a gen 1 raptor
Great choice
Shout out to Ben at Dixie-Bloor auto service, one of the best mechanics, I take my car to him whenever its needs service and he is always so helpful at fixing and explaining all the work.
Ben is a legend
Vehicles are an emotional purchase. you don't have to justify it. I love your wagon, I always wanted a stanced A4 wagon.. one day ill have it.. just need the garage first xd
A4 wagon 👍👍
Good video my friend
Nice to see you got a “keeper”. Great cost rundown. Great edit. 👍🍁🤙
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video!!
Thanks Ted
I do t get the “seized up” thing people have. I have a 2013 with 196k and it sets for months on end since I drive a company truck and I’ve only ever had to replace the waterpump.
My caliper pistons seized up from sitting outside and getting rusty
@ odd, the only time mines under a roof is when I drive under an underpass. I guess I’m just lucky
@@originalthundercat4295 sure sounds like it. I’m very lucky now with a triple car garage and a lift so this isn’t a problem for me anymore but it used to be
@@originalthundercat4295 sorry I misread. My truck sat outside for months not being driven because I have so many other cars to drive.
Start ordering roller rockers, lifters, timing chain kit, and if its a 6.2 get valve springs. I have 200k on my ford and the oil tensioner on bank 2 leaked oil causing a camshaft code.
Glad i have the ability to do all those repairs myself. I have a 2011 with 160k.
This covers the reality of owning one of these.. I'm on the fence about purchasing a 11' with 260,000km on it in hopes that i can hold off on fixing the shocks for another year to save money. Convincing the wife that it's a good purchase is a whole other challenge! lol
You can definitely just keep driving on the shocks. The ride quality just won’t be as nice. But it’s not like riding on blown shocks
@@itsreallyjakub awesome! We actually settled a deal today so hopefully will be joining the southern Ontario raptor family within the coming weeks!
please have rex in every episode 😍
Wow so when i get my 2020 im gonna have to replace the shocks immediately. Ill remember that when negotiating on price. 👍
New one’s may have a longer interval but probably not
I love the 1st gen Raptor … they’re just bulletproof in every sense.
If anything will go, it’ll be the transmission. But it’s just a regular f150 trans so shouldn’t be too expensive if it does go
I bought a 2012 Raptor with under 20,000 miles for $38,000 back in 2022. I put maybe $800 in it and would venture to say it’s still worth a good amount. Kbb says $31,000-$33,000 It has 44,000 miles now. My car math: basically lost $2500 a year while not having any headaches. It doesn’t matter what you pay. What matters is what it’s worth when you decide to sell.
Awesome
Every truck has that rake so when you load up the back it levels out
Makes sense. Good thing I never load the back except when I go to the garbage dump
Hopefully in the near future I can find a gen 1 raptor as well.
Highly recommend it
On my 2012 extended cab I got the Morimoto headlights, break lights and 3rd brake / bed light. Still haven't installed the the marker lights because of the weather and I don't have a garage. But other than that I have a feeling that the spark plugs are going to need to be changed out right along with my breaks pretty soon. Other than that I am happy with my purchase, I might buy a 2nd Gen and give my 1st Gen to my daughter 🤔
The marker lights are super easy to install. I think I’m going to do Spark plugs this year too
Honestly this guy has so far paid way less than if he would’ve bought a newer one. Probably still worth about the same money he bought it for. Which would not be the case for a newer truck. I’d say good buy. Especially now you got all the maintenance done.
Yup no regrets on my end
General question why do the shocks need a rebuild every 50k miles? Is because they are a soft setup for off road use?
The shock fluid gets old, seals can wear out, and you might lose some gas pressure
Awesome truck, Jakub! Have you seen the center console lids for the first gen Raptor with the integrated wireless charging?
No that sounds amazing
Were you considering a Supercharged TRD Tundra against the Raptor then? Keep up the great work!
No it wasn’t supercharged it was just the car we were reviewing that week
My dad had this same 1st generation Ford Raptor. Bought it brand new for about $40,000.00 US. He ended up getting rid of it though because it could never fit inside his garage and it drank gasoline like water!
I have the window sticker from the original owner in the glovebox. It was around 50k cad if I recall correctly. It does love gas
@@itsreallyjakub Having the original window sticker is priceless when you buy your vehicle used! I have a 2021 F-150 Lariat, lifted 6-inches and riding on 35-inch tires with 22x12 inch wheels. I typically get 11-12 miles per gallon with my setup and hardly drive it because of that. But I love the truck though! So I understand your love for the Raptor. I wanted one, but these new Raptor's are priced out of this world!
@@DalHarpJr I’m at 13-14mpg, basically a Prius
Calipers shouldn’t go bad that quick, were the brake hoses replaced? They are known to collapse internally and cause that concern.
They were not, and the problem hasn’t returned ever since I stopped leaving it outside and not driving it
All the maintenance costs would be any vehicle unless you're going new. Better to know it's done and done right.
Yup it’s nothing crazy except the Fox Shocks
Wow u left your partner in straight pipes
I leave him everyday because we don’t live together
Awesome video i don't know if you'll see this but this definitely gives me more confidence about checking out a 2010 5.4 with 274000km for $17000
As cheap as that is, I would honestly just wait for a 6.2. It’s a much better engine and the power feels appropriate. The 5.4 is underpowered
@@itsreallyjakub definitely not underpowered 🤣 thank though
@@killersodas7695 just bought a 2009 expedition 5.,4 for 2k runs great...268k..quiet motor..strong unit..I'm happy
@@killersodas7695 the 5.4s are known to be less reliable than the 6.2. So much to where they stopped putting them in the raptors in the lator years. Good luck
@@alexhill828 🤓 akctully it runs great thanks even 14 years "lator" and still faster then your mom's mini van
Pro tip, you can rebuild those struts/shocks yourself.
good stuff yo!
reminds me of a 2006 F150 Lariat 4 door pickup truck I used to have. I even got the quietest Flowmaster muffler put on and you romping on it reminded me of that v8 truck sound. Kinda miss it, plus cruising on the highway the engine was just purring like a kitten. Got me a 2000's Ranger pickup truck now, its a fun truck. It looked really cold in that garage youre in
Awesome
heck yeah :) @@itsreallyjakub
Kind of like this channel more than TSP 🙂 I definitely want to see detailed video on SL 🙂
Will do!
I love your video being watching you for long time , I have quick questions I found Raptor 2018 has 235k km in the body but it has brand new engine replaced by ford ,do you think its good idea to buy or not , thanks for any advice
Possibly. But those engines are known to have some problems. It could happen again. Those v6 aren’t bulletproof like these v8
I guess I will go for the same things that you did buy v8 Raptor and fix it ,
Thank you for your advice and wish you first million subscribers in 2024 🎉
Wow that’s high mileage buying it with 350K on the clock. So all original engine and transmission with no rebuild. That’s great reliability from the drive train.
Yup all original. If I had to guess what’s going to die first it’ll be the transmission
I'm caught up. I like this thanks Jakub
Awesome thanks
