    Good review but even though I love my R I totally disagree about the 3.5 Raptor. It’s an excellent power plant, it’s smooth, efficient, powerful with great torque.
    Yes the R is better and more bad ass but to say the regular Raptor is basically a piece of shit is just very ignorant.

      Agreed. So fans of the Raptor and its styling in particular were just not supposed to buy one for the last 6 years? That’s ridiculous. He mentioned the R driving like it’s lazy until you get into it. That’s exactly where the Ecoboost shines. Twin turbskis, so no lag no matter the throttle input.
      I still respect his opinions though, and ignorantly agree with most of them. The “can’t afford one though” is car guy talk. I used to run my mouth like that, but then I grew up, or maybe it was my wife who set me straight haha. Whatever the case may be, I realized my family’s financial future was far more important than a vehicle, or any tangible item for that matter.

      ​@zweifelgarage1817 ignorant comment here. Owning an R and 3.5TT, the 3.5TT is much more efficient and compliant for everyday and 99.99999% of your driving. The predator was built for the track or desert prerunning. The power curve let alone usable where it shines is completely different. The predator is annoying to daily to stay out of boost and get single digits mileage. The 3.5TT has torque down low and mid and all around and delivery is smoother.

      Yup. We love our 2022 37 EB. I grew up in racing/restorations and the Gen3 Raptor defies the laws of physics. No need for an R.. and it loses HP at high elevation .. over a 100 HP where we have a mountain home to be exact. Makes zero sense to pay that much more and lose 100 HP. Guy here making some serious (seriously dumb) assumptions/accusations about EB owners.. 3 of the 4 guys in my area that own EB Raptors are millionaires. All off-road them. The thought that someone doesn’t buy something because they can’t afford it is just ignorant. I’m likely to get an LOL 😂 response to that. My wife literally said go buy the biggest baddest Raptor .. we found the 37 in a color we loved and pulled the trigger. It’s been an amazing truck. No desire for a TRX.. or any Ram (well maybe a Power Wagon). If we want to go fast we’ll buy a Ferrari.

      Great looking Truck
      I admit I can afford a Raptor but living in more of a city environment and a furniture builder who drives from Philly to NC at least once a month for deliveries or pleasure (or both)
      I thought about the gen2 Raptor (the R wasn't available) but couldn't justify paying 6figures for a truck.
      If I was desert driving or farming maybe. So here is where you will kill me and call me a f4g or l1beral shqt eater lol (which I'm not)
      I bought the 2023 powerboost. But I use the generator (7.2kw) in the back on jobs at least once a month or more it's faster than the ecoboost Raptor (not the R) and I get about 20mpg in the winter 23mpg in the summer
      If I was in my 20s still and had the money then yes I go Raptor R all day.
      Is your truck Avalanche?
      Looks awesome and sounds great too. That is the 1 thing I don't like about the v6 trucks is the sound

    Its an adaptive transmission, so it will learn your driving habits and start to respond better at about 1500 miles; however this is the drawback to that 10 speed. I have the same issue. I can be at 30 miles per hr in be in 6th gear, which is crazy. I prefer sport mode, or to get a tune that will also change the shifting points.

    Just to correct some mis-information and/or generalizations, not every EcoBoost owner has an EB because they can't afford an R. Some might value better mpg over a prum prum for daily driver, some don't want to wait long months or even year(s) for a truck, some might not see the value of an R over an EB or better of an EB with 37PP, which is identical looking to an R except the different decals. .02 cents.
    Also, the reason one pair of the fogs came with covers and are wired to a different switch is for legal reasons. You're not allowed to "legally" drive with two sets of fog lights on so Ford got away with it by covering one set and putting them on a different switch. As a "car enthusiast" that you claimed to be, I thought you would know that. But I'm not going to make generalizations on you based on that.

    My daughters react the same way as yours did whenever I say I’m getting a new truck, haha. They get mad when I say I’m getting a new one and then say it’s dumb or something like that when I bring it home. Kids are hilarious. The big difference is my wife always sides with them lol.
    Trust me, every other day I consider getting a Tremor with the 5.0. I. I can’t stand the sound of my Raptor. American muscle doesn’t sound like a GTR. I get that the Ecoboost is great for running Baja, which is what it’s built to do, but we all know that most people buy the Raptor for its looks, not its capabilities, myself included. For that reason alone Ford should have always offered it with a V8, or at least made it an option. I’ll have an R one day. I don’t do markups and I’m not good at waiting either. Impulsivity sucks sometimes.

    I had a relatively new f150. No complaints, drove nice comfortable. Other than denting VERY easy.
    The fact is though these dinosaur trucks “raptor , TRX “ are truly dinosaurs. Trucks will have Instant torque , no transmissions to fail, or oil to change or fumes to suck in. Truck guys hate hearing it because they hate change, but prepare for a good spanking from electric trucks. Batteries are evolving fast and in a matter of no time your gas guzzler won’t be able to compete. My new truck will have around a thousand horsepower and around 500 miles of range with fast charging and won’t dent if I look at it too hard. That raptor will still be pretty though lol.

    Good review. I also own a Raptor R, I’ve had all of the generations of the raptor. But I must say your opinion of the eco-boost is a little harsh.
    When I got the R, if anything, it made me appreciate the eco boost for what it is. When you’re driving around normally, the 2 trucks are very hard to tell apart, let alone $50k. 100% agree when you punch it, it’s a different world, but honestly just a party trick. Like Tesla plaid.
    I love my raptors, but I gotta say; the eco boost raptors I’ve owned are great also for what they are.
    I’m hesitant about this power plant just as I was about the eco boost, my 2018 gen2 I’ve had to change the engine. At 150k miles etc etc.
    But just thought I’d throw my opinion out there

Otherwise, I would pay this amount in taxes anyways. Do you think Raptor R won't depreciate 🤣🤦‍♂️. It's not Ford GT that you leave in the garage, hoping it will gain value. It's a truck based on the F150 platform with the same build quality as regular F150 that will start creaking after 3 years. Who buys a pickup truck thinking it won't depreciate 🤣? As for the sound, I am going into my 50s in a couple of years. I could care less if some teenagers would turn their head around. Before the current 2020 Roush Raptor, I had 2017 Roush Supercharged F150 Stage 2 650HP, which was built up to 730HP. Couldn't care less for the power and sound.
