This model Raptor actually seemed to sound decent. I haven't heard one in person that I like but maybe Ford got it right. If I ever have to upgrade my Ranger Tremor, I would love the Raptor but worry about it's width on trails. F150 Tremor would likely do it for me.
I cannot justify $82K for any vehicle no matter how many goodie’s is has. The average person like me could not touch a vehicle like this . More power to those who can.
@@pureblood3813 That why if you're like me you take it for 30k less after a few years. I'm hoping people trade their broncos in as well by the end of next year then I scoop up a deal
@@asphyxiatedpineapples Problem is trucks in the USA are very very popular. They are not losing their value they way they used to. No way in hell would I pay 80K for a vehicle, but the massive drops price for used trucks isn't currently happening. Check the NADA on any used truck right now it is is mind blowing.
Great review; this is my favorite car channel. The truck is nice, but not my speed: too big, too expensive, too "full time lit" character for "rare, extreme needs". Case in point: I think Road & Track noted that the orange grille lights are DOT required clearance lights because it's so wide/folks might not realize there's a whole truck between each head light.
That's not what you do with the Raptor, though it's still capable of dealing with mud. You had to drive it on a desert trail at 90-100 mph as I did on Gen II. That was the most reckless and still very safe, well-controlled and fun drive in my life.
Jeez these trucks are getting to big. I’m looking forward to the new Ranger (tremor or raptor edition maybe?). My Current F150 is is very limiting on trails due to not only the size, but also the terrible outward visibility. It’s a capable and stable towing platform, but if you don’t tow, it’s just a pain in the ass.
Yeah full sizes are definitely wide, especially like this where it's been stretched and flared even further. I completely agree, if i didnt have towing aspirations, I would not have my F-150. It's just big.
5 seconds is incredible impressive for a vehicle that weight and size! Only thing that gets me is the price of the vehicle, man oh man that definitely puts it out of reach of Ford’s “blue collar man” they used to cater to
I bet if you aired down to 20 to 25psi instead of leave it in the mid to hi 30s, you would of did a lot better for the last part. Those bead capable wheels will do fine at that pressure.
Part of his review is doing the testing stock tire pressure. He does this on all of his reviews and mentions that lower pressures would likely help but it wouldn't be a level playing field
No idea, but as he never mentioned it, it is probably just an led light, that is out of sink with the camera speed. Like when the wheels look like they are going backwards.
They are infrared lights. Those are for the Blue Cruise autonomous driving system. When equipped, those will illuminate the driver in IR light and cameras will monitor the driver to make sure they are paying attention when the vehicle is driving itself.
One of the most amazing trick Detroit as pulled in the last 10 years is somehow they repositioned their middle-class work truck as a Luxury Vehicle. 80K for a F-150? Wow.
@@SunnyWu Well yeah my comment was from 6 months ago before they revealed it, so glad they finally did, can't wait to pick one up going to be so cool. Completely worth it, R is way better
If this was $20k cheaper I would probably consider it. It has everything I've ever wanted in an OEM package but holy cow. I can buy a house to rent out for extra income for $82k
It sounds so good. I’ve always wanted a raptor but it’s too big to fit in my garage and it’s too nice of a vehicle not to be put in a garage every night👍🏽👍🏽
@@Gimli8621 when did I say “leave it in the garage”????I want my vehicles in my garage to protect from hail storms and vandals and car thieves. Understood…….
@@IMGONEIN60 does this happen to you vehicles on a daily basis? Cause if so maybe you should reevaluate where you live. I'm just not seeing the point in putting it in the garage to protect it, when you buy this truck to have fun and subsequently it gets dirty and scuffed up

@@IMGONEIN60 goodness this Sean person is really infatuated with why you want to park your truck in a garage, as if that is relevant at all to how a vehicle might be used. Lol UA-cam commenters are so funny sometimes.
FYI. ;) The max you can spend building a bronco is about 65k. I'd like to see a Badlands try your slippery hill. I can totally tell that you're not lying about how slick it really is. Stoked to see your course get even bigger.
I’m really looking forward the 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor. The current Raptor is too large for many off road trails and gets pinstriped from tree branches.
Glad you said "it's one more thing that can break" because....face it this is 80k worth of breaks. That's all these new vehicles are. We now live in a society of "we'll get you 60-100k and you'll trade it in for the next one".
Ford has done a great job on updating the gen 2 vehicle. One major fault is the digital speedo & tach with bar graphs on the outer perimeter. Looks horrible, cheap and aren't as easily read as pure analog gauges. The least they could have done is to include pure analog instruments as one of the options!!! This truck is a beast. Thanks for sharing!!
Not a raptor guy. Currently have a 2018 f150 screw with ecoboost though. I love the power of the truck v6. If I were to upgrade to something more capable it would likely be the Tremor. A great compromise between capability and price ( they’re all too expensive). As I frequently tow a travel trailer the Raptor isn’t as suitable. Also, not hard core off roader, and the majority seem to be mall crawlers anyway. Kinda like a TRX. The next couple years should be interesting with all the electric trucks coming up. Yuppies gotta have something to spend money on and besides they make great oversized Prius’s. I think oversized parking will be a pay for park soon enough.
Changing modes and just flooring it everything doesn’t change anything. Probably could have made it up no problem if you just took the brick off the accelerator.
Love everything about it. 6'1" though? Are you sure? The break in your pant legs doesn't add to being that tall. Yes I analyzed this video a bit too much :)
I don't know if you're just joking or if you really don't know how to drive because it seems to me that you're just trying to get the truck stuck every time that the truck gets moving. You will stop just keep the momentum and keep going the truck wouldn't be stuck if you knew how to actually drive in the dirt or mud
They should've just put the 6.2 V8 in it, the twinturbo V6 crapola isn't really helping mpg and is just making them less reliable and more expensive to fix
so ya, you want to put it in 4H not 4L to do a muddy hill. You want LESS torque and more wheel spin. So 4H, second gear, floor it. Air down would also help. 4L give it more torque and less spin which simply digs a hole in the ground.
Not sure I’d call “just a few steps” simple when referring to a literal step. Don’t get me wrong I’d have gotten my F-150 with one if I could but it’s far from the simplest setup (which would probably be GMs Bumper corner cutout).
Very nice. About the seats. Are those, or can it be gotten with, the max recline leather seats? And do you think the 37 runs as smooth and quiet and comfortable as the 35, especially on the highway, are they similar, or is one better than the other in that regard? And lastly, do you know if real snow tires, not just snowflake rated all terrains, but real snow tires, are available in the after market in the right size for either or both the 37 or 35 Raptor? Thanks.
You cannot get these with max recline seats since these are off-road seats, they’re catered towards sports performance over comfort (although they’re very comfortable). For how big the 37s are, they pretty much make no noise and hum. These are 3 peak rated for severe snow. Of course, they’re not as good as dedicated snow tires but since they’re so big, they just go over anything. I’ve driven over a foot of snow with no problem. These are made for all terrain, all season and I think they’re really good.
This isn't for the average guy....this truck is a toy and status symbol. Buying this truck is like buying a BMW or Mercedes to truck owners. This truck represents an elite group. Don't let the F150 badge fool you.
Trouble is most people buying trucks now are for toys and status symbols...they don't tow, and they don't work with their trucks, its all about hey look at me I have this over-priced useless family sedan with this weird trunk with no lid on it that I over-paid for. I'd rather just have a base model 4x4 maybe add the rear locker and that's it. Then again I use my trucks as trucks....and this new Raptor gets almost as bad of fuel economy as the 460 V8 in my F250 gets...pretty pathetic truck they're building when everything is supposed to so much about fuel economy and the environment, they go and build that Raptor and then only put a turbo V6 in it what a joke. Should have got a crate 460 and thrown in it and added a super charger...probably would have gotten the same or slightly better fuel economy. It would help if they wouldn't have thrown those heavy huge tires on it that 99% of buyers will never need, and probably sell the truck when they wear out the tires when they realize they're like $2500 to replace them.
@@wildbill23c this is an average guys mentality.....they have a fx4 package for ya bruh with a 5.0. There is a truck for ya if you don't want to pay. Trucks have been daily drivers for over 15 years especially in Texas. A lot of people will get the raptor bcuz of what its capable of, what it means in the truck world, how smooth it drives and the fun factor. There isn't a difference when people buy track focused cars and never going to the track in it.
Love your content. However, I am rather frugal, and I am also curious. What is the average household income for the ford raptor buyer or a car over $45,000?
I turn 30 next month, have 3 kids and paid off my 2017 Raptor last year. I made an average of $105k over the last five years. It was tighter than I wanted as my down payment was almost completely eradicated by medical expenses, but we made it happen. I would say most of the Raptor owners I've met make $90k+, with a good deal of them having plenty of spending money (either from age or big salaries).
Hey Ryan, I love your reviews, but what the heck were the red flashing lights on the dash upper right above the center screen and on the lower driver side A pillar?
15:30 - It's rare that a hill actually looks steep on video. The wide shot really helps visualize how crazy that hill is. Well done!
I've got to say, I've watched TONS of videos on the 2021 raptor and the way you describe the truck, its handling and general features was the best video yet! It feels like you are riding with your buddy and hes describing what he loves about the truck. Great job!
Ryan with his best Clarkson impersonation here, love it
Take me now
Totally agree about the enclosed-top-Bronco! I want one, but I'd much prefer a quieter cabin that's fully enclosed with a sunroof.

Yea they added a loop to the exhaust that equals the lengths from the cylinder banks and now it sounds proper and not droning.
That's a massive tire for a factory option! Great review.

That’s what I call a dream small truck! That’s it, just a dream. I can’t imagine me buying such amazing car. $82,000 + taxes = $87,000.00.
These are getting ridiculously expensive.
+ dealer markups = $105,000
That's a very perfect video with my favorite full size truck.
The F-150 raptor is a very very good vehicle.
Thanks for this video.
82k..... All of these off road vehicles are luxury now.
Other negative about the Raptors when you have to go into a tight parking lot is very hard to park
I had a 2015 F150 with 37” tires and those looked massive on it. These 37s look normal sized for some reason
impressive truck, a pleasure to see, to hear and probably to drive!

Probably the IR sensors for BlueCruise.

Nice to see a video where the 4Runner wasn't mentioned once!
I've got an exhaust on my 2018 because I thought I wanted to hear it more too...can't wait to get the stock one back on, just not worth it
What a flex - "Let me test this Raptor out on my own private off road course..."
Love the Raptor. Would like to see you take the Bronco up the same climb. Should do better with front and rear lockers.
They did lmao they own this little hill
It was all about tires and weight here
Need speed... The raptor have rear locker and torsen in front diferential ... Only need more inertia or change the driver jajjajajaajjaj
Ford has done a great job on updating the gen 2 vehicle. One major fault is the digital speedo & tach with bar graphs on the outer perimeter.

Don't forget the crazy v6 that's like winding a rubberband tight as u can and think I won't break
Agreed on the bronco. I love it, but I want an enclosed vehicle.
Love this Raptor!
Nice as usual. However it’s 2021. 😞 so sad
The pricing on these though… after dealer allocations and markup is ridiculous. 😱🙄🤦🏼♂️
i loved this video complete details keep it up
So what i took away from this is the outback wilderness managed the mud climb but the raptor didnt, too much weight i guess
Slightly different conditions but yeah I bet weight-to-tire contact patch plays a big part in getting up.
12:52 It's twice the price of a Bronco.... They're not even remotely comparable
As far as i know the shocks are the same “FOX3” but 37 inch you will lose the tire travel

Lowering the air pressure can help
The exhaust is so much better. Sounds like a GTR in Baja mode.
I know right they made the sound better now
