Thanks for the video! I'm waiting for delivery here in the US. Your video has me very excited about the truck and now I know what things I should consider purchasing for aftermarket items,
I can’t wait for your shops in the USA to go wild on aftermarket parts for them. That’s when they will become really fun 😎
Good review Joel looks like you make it have it mate keep it up mine comes September can't wait😊
you will love it trust me
🎉
I have one - 12800 miles on it now - still don’t know how to engage Baja mode 😂 Luv the l/m feature it has saved my licence on many occasions because this truck is so addictive you forget and soon you are exceeding the speed limits ❤
Yes very very easily done that’s for sure
always stopping through your RUclips platform just to see it again and again,
Haha I best make another video soon then for you 🤣
Absolutely amazing review-! I am picking up my raptor next April-!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the insights on what to expect in my new Raptor, Great Review Joel.
My pleasure!
Great Review Joel,🎉
One thing missed was the annoying Auto stop start..
I have this tun red off and saved under my R setting. So as i jump into the Raptor i just double press the R on the wheel and we are off
Hey mate love the video, car and review! Couple questions, how does the car feel with the bigger offset and 35s over stock and do you have any scrub or tyre bottom out anywhere on the guard when you jump it? Thanks mate! Keep up the good work
Thank you. With this set it feels just as good as factory. They are only 10.5” wide tyres so no rubbing at all. I also have the 40mm lift to take the 35” tall tyres
mad,,great honest review..mine is stock as hell....but holly shit what a truck!!...mods will soon come..thanks 4 a great review.
Not a problem. If you see my other videos I have built a few of the older shapes too over the last two years
you need to do a build vid on this thing! crazy extras
Yes you can see this under my other videos here
ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.htmlsi=9B98-eA8WGfPMTJg
Like the side steps.The spare on the tub, is it for practical R and better balance or for a extra fuel tank? Think Ford can listen to you, like the head up display idea. Thanks, looking forward to the next update.
Thank you :-)
Great video. The only negative and positive depending on usage is the colour choice. Black. They look great freshly washed however after just one bit of driving in the wet they look filthy. That can be said of any black car. My misses only orders black and I’m responsible for keeping them clean. 😂
The joys of life haha 😂
Lol, couldn't keep count of how many times you said "thank you Ford" 🙏😇
😂 haha just goes to show how happy and thankful I am of it
Hey mate nice video I own a 2022 Raptor the thing that I noticed there is no memory seat setting 😂no coin holder but a lovely car to drive 👍
Yes the memory seats is one point I did notice too. Would love to have that in the Raptor
Just got mine last week, so far i love it!
How have the mods impacted your warranty?
No the only way it would be a warranty issue is if the parts caused the problem.
What running boards do you have for it? I like how they fold down and up when you open and close the door
I can ship them worldwide to your door:

Hi Joel, first rime watching your video, great work! I have just over 13k on my Raptor. It has dents, scratches and I have had it in everyrhing from mud holes to jumps over sand dunes.
I love your front bar, what brand is it?
Sounds like you enjoy to drive it for what it is made for 😎 this is the Option4wd V.1 front winch bar. It can be shipped worldwide too.
option4wd.myshopify.com/products/next-gen-raptor-v-1-front-winch-bar-pre-order-now
Very honest review. Many thanks!
My pleasure!
As a "performance " model why is that the brakes are not 6 pot callipers at the front and 4 pot callipers at the back this is the only disappointment I have with my Raptor .
Yes that’s a good point I would love to see this too. But they do work fine as they are I guess
It's a big enough brake rotor and the pistons are big enough that you get similar pad surface area using 4 piston as you would with 6 smaller pistons. The tires are the weak point in the braking system, not the calipers.
The rear of pickup trucks that don't have a lot of weight in the bed unloads a lot during hard braking too, which makes it easier to lock up the rear wheels. You have to go all the way up to an F250 to get two piston rear calipers and they can have a loaded weight of 5.2t vs 3.1t for the Ranger Raptor.
Hey mate, great video! Can i ask what you were doing for accommodation? Were you towing something? Swags? Or staying in hotels on your trip?
Cheers!
I had rented a house for the month at the bottom of the ski field
Done 40000kms and going to Herrod performance to make an awesome car even crazier
I would love to get this done too. But gosh does it need to be any faster ? Haha
Thank you Joel ..this review is the best thnks
My pleasure
Awesome mods, can you please share how the kings springs are doing any issues with the live valve
And what are the offset you have on those wheels
Thanks
No issues at all. 40mm king springs and the wheels are fuel coverts , 17” x 9” x 1p on 35” x 10.5” wide Kenda R/T’s
Awesome ride!!!
It sure is!
Just love your in detail review. I’ve been waiting for an honest review as I’m taking delivery of my 2023 Black Raptor tomorrow in Adelaide SA. Will definitely go the same route with 35” and 40mm lift. Once again thx for your honest review
My pleasure 😎
Excellent review 👍.
Thank you! Cheers!
You do have options to change the colour of the raptor on your dash, cant remember how but you definately can, I have seen it done. I need to do it to mine as well
This is news to me. I wonder if it’s done in a scanning tool?
It can be done from the dash on other vids@@joeldstirling
Hi Sir, what kind of bulbar have you got on your raptor? (front and back). They look awesome!!
They are the V.1 Option4wd front winch bar and the V.1 Rear Fighter bar. They can be shipped worldwide from the link below
option4wd.myshopify.com/collections/next-gen-raptor-body-protection-parts
Do you use snow chain when you went Cardrona? If did what snow chain you use. Thanks
I didn’t, instead I just sent it and it laughed all over the ice. But with all the new snow lately they might not let you up without them.
You can have them custom made in Queenstown at a cost of $640 for the pair.
You can just Google snowchains Wānaka or Queenstown and it will come up with the people to email.
Hope this helps
Hey mate. Any upgrades to the suspension? To fit those bigger tyres?
you can see all the parts list in my other video I made here: ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.html
Very nice review mate! I also have one, white. I’ve commented on your fb posts before, I’ve mentioned exactly the same, one cannot appreciate the tech, Fox shocks etc until they take this beast off road. Pity the majority of buyers are just city crawlers that will never take it off road. It should be bloody criminal nit to. 😆😆🤣🤣🤔🤔🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺
That’s so true. They don’t come alive till they are off road
Great video, What dashcam did u use?
Thank you. I use the BlackVue with the 24/7 recording
Nice and muddy! 👏👏
Thanks 👍
I am looking at these Ranger Raptor videos from here in the USA anxiously awaiting there arrival here. As I am planning on selling my heavily modified 2 door jeep Rubicon to get one of these spring of 2024. Some think I am crazy, but my 2020 jeep keeps going in the shop for warranty issues (latest is engine blew up at 30k miles), and I would rather sell it before the warranty runs out. That said these longer term reviews are more of interest to me because of the problems/recalls I have had with my Jeep. I am curious though.. your bumpers look custom, are they? And one of the things I will require on a new truck is a front winch, as I live in interior Alaska and having solid recovery options is important for any off road and in winter on road sometimes. Do you have a front winch installed? And I know this video is 2 months old, so hopefully you might see this to be able to answer.
Hello yes the bar is from www.option4wd.co.nz and yes I have the winch fitted too. Have also added load more parts into it now so I will do another updated video soon. I was just waiting on the 500hp tune now
I have 7xxxkm on this raptor. Lover almost everything about it, not so much on oil consumption. I wish they do Everest raptor.
Yes I just say I have used 1L of oil at 10,000km. But this is also the same in the Diesel BMW at the same K’s so I just assume it’s a run in phase. I was thinking maybe some Lucas oil treatment will stop this too.
This new Raptor looks absolutely amazing! I have seen a video from another Raptor owner and I think he may have just been unlucky with his, because he ran into differential issues due to low differential oil levels from factory. He, as well as a few other people, have stated that when they let the vehicle idle in drive, the idle becomes rough. I was just wondering if you have encountered any issues like this with yours?
Like make some will always have wee issues . But I haven’t had a single problem with mine at all.
You should do an NZ review of the F150 Raptor R....
I haven’t seen one yet as they only come
In LHD so would take a while + 40k to make it into a RHD
Hey Mate.. what is the brand of your running boards, those are cool!!
This is them option4wd.myshopify.com/products/electric-power-retractable-board-ford-ranger-raptor-side-steps-2012-2022
Very nice looking truck! Where did you order or what brand is the roll bar on the bed of your truck
Thanks if you look in my other video you can see a full review of the lid. It’s a utemaster
@@joeldstirling Thanks!
The color accents in the interior are not going to change, that's the Raptor style. You can always get some seat covers but the other accents are still there.
Yes this is what I have said in the video too. Its the Raptor branding and from a manufactures point of view its cheaper to only have red too.
Nice rig mate!
How do you find the ute master lid? Do they leak?
No leaks at all. But you need to make sure you fit them with the seal under the plastic caps for this.
Hi nice review. For the camera activation there is a menu in the screen that you can access while driving in any mode don't need to go to off-road for it. That will give you a bigger view of all the cameras without the diff controls and display 😊
I can’t access it when driving? Only when parked?
@@SaRa-go6iuyou should be able to access the camera while driving by selecting the vehicle on the top right corner then in the menu selecting camera and the rear camera will pop up while driving and will allow to switch between them too. Only thing I'm not sure if the writing will disappear I worked on some and see that you can do that but haven't tested in real life. Will let you know one I have my hands on another one I might take a video as well
I think it might only be up to a certain speed before it turns off again
I haven’t found it myself yet. It turns off once you go over a certain speed
Will look more into it thank you
Nice review! Where did you get the sports bar? Really like that one.
This is the utemaster dystroyer laod lid & sportd bar package. More detail on it in my other video

@@joeldstirling thanks!
@@kenohibaya1399 no problem. Hope you enjoy the videos. Please feel free to share them too 😎
Thanks, man, for the review. I just have a question. Did the 40mm lift affect the suspension system performance negatively? I like the car it's just doesn't have enough ground clearance for how I drive in the UAE.
It still handles like factory as 40mm is within the bypass value zone. Anything over 40mm and it will go harder
@@joeldstirling Thanks a lot 🙏
@@AbdallaMahmoudz I do go into them with more detail in my other video here :
ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.htmlsi=jovn-boilU1FvEYq
Good review.. may be ordering a ranger sport soon... cant strwtch to the raptor, wish i could as its a beast but maybe one day
A sport is more practical. The raptor is a toy not a Ute.
@@joeldstirling 380k a tank fk me thats bad ,only thing holding me back ,initially wont care but as time goes by bloody expensive
@@yesfratbknowin1631haha yes. You have to pay if you want to play. I have the 2.0L Diesel Raptor now and I get about 600km a tank but I no longer have the same smile on my face while driving it 😂
Would love next update to add heated AND cooled seats
Yes that would be a great extra for sure
The best thing they could do is increase the towing capacity to 3.5T ....I love the exterior look of the Raptor but went for the Wildtrack instead due to the 3.5T tow rating. It turned out pretty awesome with a stack of ARB gear on and the heated seats are great on a cold morning.
This one has heated seats. Not cooled though
@@johninnz Pre-runners aren't really intended to be towing too much. The softer suspension limits payload which limits tow rating. The F150 Raptor is only rated to tow 3.7 metric tons. To be honest, 3.5t is a lot of trailer for any of the mini-trucks. The standard F150 can be configured to have a tow rating of 6,000 kg which is more than I would want to put behind a half ton. I have towed 6350 kg/14000 lbs (30' enclosed car hauler on a conventional class 5 hitch) for thousands of miles behind a Ram 2500 diesel and would not go with a smaller tow vehicle at that weight.
They bashed it with the ugly stick
Haha 😂 it grows on you
I own one, I like it so much though it's thirst, but its a beast, I would like to know how it performs on heavy sand and muddy terrain 😂, I want to try it this December
It’s like a walk in the park on the sand. No effort at all 🎉
Hey I’m getting like a metal rattle from the front driver side door ?? Have you experienced this on your raptor ?
Not at all
Cant beleive the inside... i know you were in holidays but i go off chop if the mrs even leaves a bottle of water in mine haha
It was a 3000km round trip and with a 3yr old and 4yr old. No chance of keeping anything clean with that lot in there haha
What size wheels and tyres you have including offset?
I have all this info in my last video of the Raptor and the build here ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.html
The automatic Step is Standard? In EU we have just fixed Steps on the side...
No this is aftermarket. I can have them sent to you with shipping included in the price.

Hey mate!
This is a sweet rig…
Can I please ask you what ditch lights & ditch light brackets you are running?
Cheers
Josh.
Thanks mate. This one is scrub king but GMF also do some too. option4wd.myshopify.com/products/ford-ranger-raptor-2023-bonnet-aerial-uhf-antenna-bracket-n-z-only
@@joeldstirling thanks heaps for this mate...
Can you get a Wof with all the extra lights? I thought you could have only an additional 2 spot lights?
Every Ute I build is up to WOF standards as I always plan to sell them on shortly after building them. So yes you can have as many lights on as you like off road. When you go in for your WOF just put the KC covers on and they can’t fail them that and they are also wired into the high beam with the switch too. So perfectly legal
Ohhhh yeah, awesome. Thanks mate!
Hello Joel, all good? I’m between the raptor and v6 wildtrak. What do you think? It’s a good deal pay $15.000 more for the raptor? Thanks for the video
I Raptor is a toy. If you need a Ute as a daily driver then get the wikdtrak. If you only plan to use it in the weekend then the Raptor. But once you own a raptor you can never go back to a Ranger
Good looking truck mate, what make wheels are they and what size tyres are those. They set the vehicle off nicely.
This can be seen in my other video ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.htmlsi=LPWIGADi2VU7cRYh
@@joeldstirling Cheers caught that afterward. 👍
@@johninnz no problem at all 😎
Couple of major, medium, and minor things i do not like so far from my Raptor.
Major - Drive settings do not have memory function. You turn off the car and all settings go back to normal.
Major - Driver electric seats do not come with memory function. I'll have to see if i can retrofit the modules into the Raptor from a regular Ranger.
Medium - Seat material is cheap looking. Would have loved leather.
Medium - Collision system does not stay off when being turned off in the settings after turning off vehicle. Twice so far it has scared me because the system automatically stomping the brakes. I drive in a city with lots of traffic. It's normal to be in bumper to bumper traffic.
Minor - Sound system, being branded as B&O is mediocre.
Minor - You have to turn the steering wheel a lot to get the wheels turning. Could just be a truck problem.
Good points. I would love to have the memory seats. But I do have my settings set to the R button on the steering wheel
that Kool Joel
Nice and kool with the dark tints too 😎
I’m looking to buy a new ranger raptor 2024, I’m worried about it having maintenance problems. I’m a Toyota fan but I love the raptor. Do you think the new ranger is reliable?
Not sure why this would be an issue with a 5 year warranty
I dont think an 8 cyclinder would be good as u said the size with a 6 cyclinder with all that power is great..love this truck.
Yes but I love a good V8 too
The 5L has been swapped into a new Ranger already and only weighs 40 lbs more than the 3L turbo.
Love the raptor🎉
They sure are fun 😎
Man, im still trying to figure out how to afford one of these XD hahaha
Were did you get power running boards
You can get them here with free worldwide shipping if you are outside of New Zealand:
option4wd.myshopify.com/products/electric-power-retractable-board-ford-ranger-raptor-side-steps-2012-2022
only real nit pick of mine is the rear speakers including rear sub are very quiet
Can you not adjust it on the system to balance or to increase bass ?
real life pros and cons of the negative offset Fuel rims ? I think the biggest cons has been shown clearly on both rear side doors in your video? lol
Well no they are 1p not negative at all. The mud on the doors is from 1: Me driving up and down a Ski field in the slush and mud base. 2: me taking the mud flaps off 3: Me taking the side steps off and fitting the electric steps 4: Me not caring at all about any of the above 😂
thanks for the rep mate, p1 really looks flush to its body (not too way off lol)
may I ask your personal experience on these rims (wider stance), good/ bad things ? (i.e. handling, comfort, cornering ... ), I can't seem to find any P1 Covert Fuel here in our country (only -12)
They are amazing. It’s my 3rd set on my 3rd Raptor. Handles like factory with the 10.5 wide 35” tyres. They sit flush with the flares but the side wall of the Kenda R/T’s is what flicks up the mud. But that’s as I was giving it hell.

Hi Man, great review. I’ve got 15,000 km’s on mine and I’m having an issue with a inconsistent idle, which is really noticeable when the ac is on, the dealership keeps telling me they’ve never experienced it before, any ideas what it could be? Or anyone with similar issue?
Testing the Spark plugs would be my first point to check or the coil packs . Might just be missing here.
@@joeldstirling thank you for coming back to me, I’ve asked the dealership on the last two drop offs about the spark plugs and they keep telling me they’ve checked and they’re all good. Now I’ve been told a representative / specialist from head office can only come out in 2 weeks to check for me, so here’s hoping, but thanks again. Will let you know 🤝🏻
one thing you should have mentioned is that which i have found very dangerous is the lack of a physical butten on the steering wheel to answer or reject a phone call.
eg: you need to take your eyes off the road to answer a call and to end the call.
i think that was very stupid of ford for removing that function off of the steering wheel which as been a standard on most vehicles for years now !!!
Oh I never noticed this at all. Good point.
Yes this. Damn. I was saying this to my wife whilst on the phone 😂 I was looking around saying "there's no hang up button".
This is exactly my thoughts!
Also, to speak to android auto if you are wireless, you have to press the button on screen. The steering wheel button only talks to the trucks system.
The kids loved asking my 2020 FX4 all kinds of facts and things while we travelled. it's only minor, but not having that button talk to the phone is strange. You can still access calls through this, but yea, just something i noticed.
Not sure if the apple carplay is different to android auto but a short press of the speaker button talks to the fords system and a long press talks to Siri.
Not sure if it’s going to be an update but my dealer said the ok button on the my23 raptor will answer the phone but not on my my22
Yea i discovered this too! Long press goes through to google, so in hindsight this is actually better cause you can choose to talk to either.
Is it noisy on the highway?
Do you mean the sound of the wind or when I put my foot down?
I have seen modify F150 raptor R in the USA so many times and I love them so much but I think your modify ranger raptor dose make it look Aggressive and here in New Zealand we do only get ford ranger raptor, but we can also get ford f150 raptor in New Zealand just have to import them which cost a lot over money. I am all the way from wellington and love ford ranger raptor just never get the change to review one.
I would love the F-150 but we just can’t park them anywhere in Auckland CBD or around the towns sadly.
Is it more fun rhen bmw ix? What would you choose if one of them ?:)
Lots more fun than the BMW for sure. This is a toy / super truck. You can take it anywhere and at full speed doing it. The BMW is lovely for the family and on the road. But you can’t take it off road at all which is where the Raptor really comes alive.
Any diff issues?
Not at all. Checked the oil level and it was only 100ml low .
The 5L Coyote engine does fit in the engine bay of the new Ranger.
I would love to see that in the Raptor 🦖😎
No radio mute button
I wonder if that is a shortcut somewhere
Every fing looks good.
Even the mud ? 😆
@@joeldstirling nice review mate I guess I was hoping for more negative comments since I’m trying to talk myself out of buying a Raptor.
@@brettmcdonald4138 haha I did try my best to find something bad about it. But it is really hard. I biggest nag is the lack of a heads up display. It would be perfect with that
I've had mine for just over two weeks. Love it but some other things that could be improved.
- Gas struts for the bonnet i(3rd party options for this)
- Rear steps to get in the top, like the non-Raptor models have .
- Would be nice it it had some sort of ambient interior lighting that other premium cars have.
- Ford pass connect app, ability to immobilise (kill switch) the car
It does have orange ambient lighting
@@torana6531 ok should be more specific, be nice if it was like you see with led step lights to give the whole cabin a glow, eg foot wells, door trim etc, friend has an BMW and the ambient lighting looks great.
Are the gas struts for the bonnet expensive and does it void warrenty? As i prefer them since my family has it on our 2015 Everest. We tried the next gen and oh boy oh boy is was heavier than i thought
The bonnet gas struts are for ANCAP reasons I believe. Rear step is due to the fact you have the twin exhaust out the back so there is no room, There is ambient lighting that you can turn on and off inside I believe.
@@sooooootamad7539 they are not too bad in price option4wd.myshopify.com/products/modify-gas-struts-for-ford-ranger-t6-p703-2022-2023-2024-front-hood-bonnet-cylinders-lift-support-damper-piston-rods-prop-bar?_pos=1&_psq=gas+struts&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Best of best! #RangerRaptor
It sure is fun to own and drive
American ford doesn't have that cup holder that pops on on passenger
We have them both sides as we like to drink beer in N.Z haha
Got mine about 2 months ago (parents got it for me). And as a 17 year old and a student who love trucks, this beast is a literal blast to drive and by far the best midsize truck I've ever driven!!
Wow what a gift to be given at 17 years old. I am now 40 years old and this is by far the best truck I have ever driven and owed over my years. When I was 17 I had my 5.8L V8 Fords too. Haha
With 380km on a full fuel tank.. dont you have any problems finding a fuel station on that long journey?
Not at all. Loads of stations in N.Z. If I know there was not going to be one for a while I would just drive it in 2wd & eco mode
@@joeldstirling does it help alot if u put it in a 2wdn on an eco mode?
Price of fuel over there that would have been one major fuel bill on that trip. I agree with most said they awesome utes
Yes it does or I just let the wife drive and she easily gets 14L / 100km
Yer but life is too short not to enjoy Baja mode 🤣
Matrix headlights are terrible to have behind or coming towards you. A constant flickering of lights in your mirrors is not an improvement. People just need to learn to dip their lights when other cars are in sight. It's not difficult, but it seems that people dont actually want to be in control of their vehicle.
When did everyone decide that they wanted to just be a passenger behind the steering wheel?
Do you know what brand of car you had behind you ? I know for sure I don’t have this issue with the BMW or Raptor Matrix lights.
@joeldstirling it has been numerous cars including BMWs. Raptors I haven't come across yet.
On long straight roads I'm sure they work ok, but as soon as you throw corners and dips and crests into the mix they just constantly adjust and create their own wee light show. Luckily those are also the roads that most people are completely hopeless on so it's not hard to get a bit of distance on them.
@@mark7620 I have had the IX & the X7 and don’t have this issue. Maybe it was in the early models when they first came out but now they are amazing and nobody flashes any lights at all
whats the miles per gallon ?
Smiles not miles I say 🤣
straight
I sure am 😎
Cannot under stand why the exhaust is a positive brrrrrraaap raptor.
Sounds like a anaemic cat.
Sounds amazing while driving :-)
Yikes!! 20 ltrs to 100 klm. My EV does 500kms full charge. Getting rid of it for a Wildtrack 2.0 dirty diesel. . Whoops.
Haha yes my old IX BMW would get 450km on a single charge costing $15. I now get 380km on this Raptor at a cost of $200+ in fuel.
My new X7 gets 1200km on the same 70L tank in diesel too
F150 is what you need, raptor R
We just can’t fit them on N.Z roads or car parks sadly
Well done ford
I am very impressed. I have owned a ford since I was 16 years old with my first being a 1979 XD Ford Falcon 🫣
I think it needs a mud guard..
Yes I am looking to make up a custom set at some point.
Back seats in all utes are terrible
Yer they are not designed for 5 adults really.
Wheel set up maybe? Tire size and et? Etc...
@@mladenristic9261all mentioned in my other video ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.htmlsi=G3n52ZUjRod3qu5F
Cant be that good, hes selling it
This is my 3rd Raptor. I build them up to test all my parts on to make sure they fit and work and then o just buy another Raptor and do it all over again. So yea they are bloody amazing hence why I will be buying another one as soon as this one sells.
How can you do 10,000kms in only 7 months?
The ranger raptor will never get a V8 engine in it in Australia or NZ, that is for the yank pickups.
And the led headlights in the ranger higher spec models will never be comparable to any LED matrix headlights in any european made car. You are also lying about the LED lightbar and spot lights thing the ranger raptor has auto high beam dipping there is no manufacturer or aftermarket LED driving/spotlights that make a wiring harness to suit LED matrix headlights with auto high beam dipping.
I am based in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve only had this for three months now 🫣
Jesus did you just wake up. He is not lying.
Did you edit your comment? I didn’t see all the aftermath statements till now.
1. I own a 2023 Topspec BMW X7 the Raptor lights are on par with them as well as my 2022 IX BMW. In fact I think the Raptor is better as they turn as you turn into corners
2. Yes they do work with the spot lights there are two wires at the top of the radiator that you use to power your lights. When the auto high beams turn off this also turns off your lights bars. So yes this works.
3. Yes we can get the V8 in N.Z and AU CTB already does this and they come with the Ford Warranty too. This cost an extra $40,000 NZD
For the 5.0L Mustang V8
I hope this helps you to understand what I am trying to say thanks
@@joeldstirling 10,000kms in 3 months?
@@joeldstirling They dont come with the V8 engine at all, also the top spec BMW X7 has laser LED lights no way on earth the LED lights from a POS ford is as good as the BMW. why lie?
Car wash don't exist on your area lolol... jokes.
Haha its hard to keep them clean when they are so much fun to drive off road :-)
@@joeldstirling That's what it's all about having fun keep it up ...
17/18 litres per 100km.....stock on my mates. That is the lowest he has ever got. 20ltr per 100km with those bigger tyres and the way you drive...wow....you have more money than sense.
Life is short and best enjoyed while above ground. So I love to drive it for her use. Love it too much haha
I had a tuned Raptor on 35” tyres and get 13.1l/100km. So your mate drives like an idiot clearly. It’s an economical engine if you drive it accordingly and don’t flog it off every set of lights
Just don’t trust them
Haha how do you mean?
@@joeldstirling fucjing shitboxes maybe not the new ones but the olds ones
You trust Toyota more ?
@@Stevegrande1 💯
Dude, you get 380 out of it? You must be absolutely flogging it. I get around 550 out of mine and I have a relatively heavy foot.
Haha yes I do like to drive it and I just love the sound of the Baja mode lol
Still think V6 diesel should be an option. Not every one can AFFORD 20lt per 100 KL.
Yea that would be nice but instead they have put a 2.0L diesel into it again.
Questions:
1.- is the off road traction control any good? or it relies solely on the locking diffs?
2.- thoughts on 35 inch tires?
I'm getting mine next month! but Im having seconds thoughts on waiting for the new Prado...but its too far ahead!
There was another video were someone put 35's on stock suspension and he said you do get a bit of rubbing on the front so you have to trim the plastic piece a bit
its amazing off-road
@@sooooootamad7539 I have 40mm king springs in mine. All the parts can be seen in my other video here: ruclips.net/video/rXLzvMz-4co/видео.html
you don't understand...its ok
This is my 3rd Raptor with the very same 35” x 10.5” wide tyres. They are amazing both on the road and off the road. I have the full review of the build in my other videos.
This Raptor will take you anywhere. If you know how to use the tech and what settings to use I don’t see how you can get stuck.
If you do go 35” I would suggest not putting the 12.5” wide tyres on but instead go with the 10.5” as they perform much better on raptors
