- Ford rocked the truck world with the introduction of the Raptor. This 2011 Ford Raptor has that loved 6.2L V8 and has over 90,000 miles. How has this truck weathered over the years? Is a preowned Raptor worth the money?

I still remember the first time I saw a Raptor pass me on the freeway in 2011. I was blown away and had no idea what the hell that truck was. I own a 2011 Raptor now.
How has it been? Looking into buying a 2011 as well 6.2L
Me too! I absolutely love it and I continue to recieve compliments from newer Raptor owners as well.
We bought our 2013 Raptor SuperCrew last year. It had 93,000 miles when we bought it. Now it's up to 115,000 miles. No worries, though. We bought it for the platform -- the suspension, the 6.2L engine, the truck that it is. We love it and can easily see keeping it forever. I figure that when I need to rebuild the drivetrain, I can justify the expense because we love the truck and it's one of those vehicles that should do well at collector auctions in a decade or two down the road. Very pleased with it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! That really helps people figure out what they should get!
I recently had a client, who drives a Landcruiser, try to give me a hard time about fuel mileage. He didn't understand why I laughed at him.
I would of laughed right there with you! lol
Congrats I'm totally with you couldn't have said it better, it's the truck that started it all will always be the first the classic. I'm planning on keeping mine forever. It's my wife's and our trusty side kick Rylies expedition vehicle.
I like the price of first Gen being more accessible to the common man like a pickup is supposed to be. Even if it means cheaper materials interior wise
The 6.2 V8 Raptor will definitely outlast the Ecco Boost V6's.
The Raptor did the race, then they drove home. An awesome truck and I put my Raptor through every thing I want. Supercrew, same as mine
You are so very right! You have a great truck!
Biggest mistake ford made was not making the 6.2 an option in the newer generation raptors.
Got a 2012 with 60,000 kms and love it.
Awesome Jameel! It's a great truck!
I have one of these in orange. I love this truck. I didn't know that the fox shocks had to be redone every 50k. They are extremely expensive if bought new about 2k for all 4. Rebuilding them is like 700 plus shipping. I don't see me getting rid of it ever. Good video!
Thanks for sharing your own personal experience and that is great info about the shocks! I appreciate you watching and the compliment!
Where did you get them rebuilt for that price?
You can also buy the better gen 2 shocks for a great price.
@@ghostcloudbullys160 found them in Denver off the internet.
@@saleens330 They are not bolt in. You have to modify them to get them to fit.
Old New Big Small - I love them all !
I totally agree with you on that!
That blue would be my 1st choice on the Raptor. I'd love to have a pickup for the times when it comes in handy. I'd probably settle on F150 to keep the cost down - though the Raptor would be the dream. That 1st gen looks great to me. Thnx Joe
I totally agree with you 100%! Plus the fact that the truck still looks great even though it had ver 90,000 miles.
Hey Joe! You did it again,found another cool truck. Keep Going.
Hey David! I’m so glad the you liked this one! You know I have more to come!😊👍🏻
I’m at 253,000 on my 2011 6.2. There is very few vehicles I would trade this for in 2024
I was like, how this great review has only 30 views? Well simple, you had just uploaded it.
jorge irizarry don’t your u worry Jorge! I have great people like you in my corner.😊👍🏻
When the 1st gen was released, I wasn’t into it, but now I am a huge fan of the raptor and as I said before I can’t decide what to buy either a Mustang or a raptor or a Navi
Those are some tough choices! I really love the Raptor!
Raiti's Rides at least you have a choice of buying, I have 4 and don’t know what to buy first 😂
This is true!
Very nice looking raptor Joe. Keep up the good work.
darkherosolidox thank you so much your awesome support! I’m glad you liked this one!
Great review! I have a 2012 raptor ! And still love it !
Thanks for saying that! It is a really great truck!
Randy once again Awesome job as all Way's😎😎. Your camera man does a great job. It's good to your review on used cars and trucks.only 100,000 miles that's praktety New .
Thank you so much for the compliment and I am so glad that you liked this one! These trucks are really great! I couldn't believe how nice the interior still looked.
Just bought a 2010 6.2L with a super charger
How many miles
It's a Super Crew not Super Cab - Also, who's towing in 4L? Dude is motivated but a little inaccurate..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective, I appreciate you watching!
I tow in 4L a lot...steep wet boat ramp! Mic drop.
@@Iparty800x that's driving out of a hole... definitely not towing. 😆
Yeah your not supposed to go over 40 in 4L
My gen 1 Raptor is the best I’m so happy with my purchase! 140,000 and use it everyday 🇺🇸🤙🏼
Another great review brother! I'm a big fan of the first gen Raptors 👍🏻 I love the blue on that one! It could really use a Roush exhaust though to make that big 6.2 come alive! Keep up the great work man. Do you ever sleep? Lol
Thank you so much for your awesome comments and support! It really helps to keep me going! A Roush exhaust would be perfect for this truck! I sleep while the ad is playing! LOL
Yessir!!! 0 dislikes for a reason! Great video. Raptors have always looked sexy
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments! The Raptor is drop dead gorgeous!
Beautiful truck....
I really like the blue on the Raptor!
Ford Built Tough
thats the new motto by Ford for the F150s
The previous owner def daily this truck
for almost 8 years old truck with 90k miles
the exterior still look factory new
Ford dropped the 6.2L in favor of the Coyote 5.0
but it didnt stopped modders getting this engine and supercharged it and extract tons of horsepower from the 6.2L engine
the interesting design of the cylinder block make it able to accept aftermarket heads if there are for the 6.2L and even the possibility of converting it to DOHC 4 valves setups for more air flow
recently there is a rumor the Ford Raptor will see the return of the V8 but now the V8 has 7L displacement with DOHC plus Direct fuel injection
def a direct competitor to Chevy/GM V8 in the displacement wars
I can imagine the 7L V8 engine with a supercharger putting out easily over 1000bhp at the crank
You are so right Lin! As usual thank you so much for your extra input. I personally would love to see a Raptor with a 5.2L Voodoo engine! Now that would make for one hell of a high screaming desert running truck!
Nice review, however that cab configuration is called a Supercrew not a Supercab. I love my Gen1 Supercrew. 126k miles and still a beautiful beast.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience and that extra info! Thank you for watching!
Darrin Klingbeil mine has 345k
@@antduhnee how’s it running? I’m thinking about saving a few $$$$ and buying a higher mileage raptor..
@@colinmullins9155 well i don’t have a raptor i have a 2004 toyota tacoma double cab
Have you replaced the shocks?
No replacement for displacement. That raptor can come equip with navigaton. Ford can keep that ecoboost. Now where is my Harley Davidson F150 with the same v8 is the ultimate truck.
I think many would agree with you! Thank you so much for sharing your perspective!
would you like to buy my 2002 Harley F150?
*SuperCrew, the supercab is the half back doors
Thank you for the assist! I totally tripped over my thoughts on that one!
What kind of gas should you use in a GEN 1 Raptor? What kind of gas should I put in my 2018 Raptor? I get so many different answers. Thanks.
I would run 93 octane if it is available in your area!
Fack No don't run 87...inside your 1st Gen fuel door it says 93.
Is it still for sale?
I want it
What a great video joe raiti
Jose Gutierrez do you like Ford Raptors?
Joe raiti I do like ford raptors
Jose Gutierrez so do I! 😊👍🏻
@@RaitisRides oh thats nice
Great minds think a like!
I prefer Ford pick up trucks! iPod holder LOL Once upon a time an AM radio was the bees knees.
Sae here! I remember when CB radios were the cool think to option form the factory!
The first generation raptors look more mean than the new gen
I totally agree with you!
i need it
Which engine is more reliable to last 200K miles md more the v6 ecoboost or v8?
I think most would say the 6.7L V8.
Raiti's Rides how reliable are these eco boost engines?
I haven't heard of any issues. A gentleman reported that he was able to get 260,000 miles out of his engine.
Raiti's Rides I believe it ford is just as good as Honda nd Toyota making engines escort for their 4 cylinders lol but it should b interesting what engines last longer Honda turbos engines or eco boost interesting
That would be interesting to find out!
Please,send me details about this car because I'm interest from Cyprus...
I got taken to the cleaners on a raptor..trying to fix it.. nothing but a money pit at the moment..but..I’m in too deep right now... gotta finish it.. 2-3 days after I bought it.. the cam bolt on passenger side lower control arm slipped wheel is cockeyed but still drives without pulling.. shocks are bad too.. so.. I ordered camburg UCAs MOOG andDLP tie rod ends.. new cam bolt assembly of course , Fox 3.0 coilovers and btw.. they put a frame cut bumper.. looks like they went for utility only.. it’s solid, but ugly.. so.. I ordered frame rail replacements and I got a guy who will weld them back on.. still deciding which bumper... a lot cheaper going back to stock....but I kinda like ADD venom or race series R... oh. The idiot I bought from also but the shocks on highest perch and threw 37s on..so.. I bought 35s nitto ridge grapplers ... so yea... had I realized the suspension was so jacked .. I would have passed on it.. but the flip side is.. it will all be new
I am so sorry to hear about that! Thanks you for sharing from your ownership experience!
nr 1 collector truck
Hii from Cyprus..how I find You because I'm interest about this car ..send me details..thanks
Ohhh I thought the first gen’s were always supercharged.
I mean, yeah, you can tell the car is aged, and of course, the 15-19 Raptor is better in pretty much everything (except engine sound), but let's be clear, the 2014 Raptor had a base MSRP of $45K, the 2015 Raptor had a base MSRP of $55K, of course you're going to have more quality plastics and materials, and a better performing engine. If you ask me, I'd rather save the $10K and mod a 2014 Raptor with upgraded shocks and bigger wheels than spend $10K on the 2015. The 411 hp is more than enough, and with that money you save, I'm sure you could add a turbo or other enhancing components and get even more hp and torque than a stock 2015... Right now, the 15 looks much better, but give it 20-30 years, and the difference will be much less noticeable, and a V8 engine is going to be a thing of the past, you can only get in this Raptor (or the Raptor R, but that's crazy expensive)
at 173,000 miles my 2013 raptor bent a push rod and broke a valve spring. Ive not seen any for sale with more than 150k miles sooooo Im not sure they last too long.
The halogen reflector headlights makes this truck look dated.
Well it is 7 years old.but you are right it doesn't help.
@J T which Ones did u put?
SVT badge was something special for limited made specialty vehicles now they make so manny raptors that the rare factor is gone and that’s is why first gen will always hold more value they made less.
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
HI MR. RATTI.....IVE BEEN ENJOYING YOUR VIDS. 4 SOME TIME NOW THANK-U. U SEEM TO KNOW YOUR STUFF AS A TOP NOTCH CAR SALESMAN/WITH THAT BEING SAID;I HAVE A QUEST. IVE HAD MY 16 GT-350 NOW 4 A GOOD YEAR;TO ME IT HAS THE BEET MOST DESIRABLE COLOR DEEP IMPACT BLUE;IM TAKING IT IN NEXT WK. TO HAVE THE PAINT PROFF. DETAILLED; THE DETAILER SUGG. THAT I HAVE THE WHITE R, STRIPES THAT CAME FROM THE FACT. REMOVED BEFORE HE CLAY BARS ETC. THE PAINT. THE STRIPES ARE FINE ;BUT I BELIEVE IT WOULD SHOW-OFF THE BEAU. PAINT ALOT BETTER W/ THEM REMOVED.BUT THE FAC. WINDOW STICKER THAT I HAVE SHOWS THAT THE CAR CAME W/THEM. I FEEL KIND OF LOST HERE+ FRUSTR.!!WHEN I EVENT. TRADE IN THE CAR FOR SOMETHING ELSE IN THE FUTURE/WOULD THIS DEVALUE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP/SAY IF U WERE TO SELL IT 4 ME;THE CAR IS BACICALLY ALL STOCC LOOKING OTHER THAC SIDE WINDOW TINT.....WHAT SHOULD I DO....I WOULD BE HAPPIER W/ THEM OFF. IF THEY WERE PAINTED ON MAYBE NOT. YOUR ADVICE WILL BE APPR. THANKYOU.
Hi Mr. Baker! Thank you for your wonderful compliments. My advice would be to get the striped removed and let your detailer work their magic on the paint. I think it would just really make the blue pop. It will not devalue your car at all to not have the stripes on. Worse case scenario you can get the stripes re-applied. You are a lucky guy to have such a beautiful car!
THANKS SO MUCH 4 YOUR TIMELY REAPONSE!.....ONCE YOUR IN YOUR LATE 50-S & RETIRE U CAN GET 1 AFTER WORKING ALL YOUR LIFE .
You are so very welcome! After you have it done can you please email me some pics?

Hey, nobody cares as much about interior of a car/truck as the engine, just to clearify for you:)
The 2011 ford Harley Davidson was better
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
Raiti's Rides thanks for hearting it, my dad use to have one and I think it’s nicer than the raptor
