Another win for the lariat 5.0. That truck is such a sleeper too. My last 2 trucks had the Coyote and I absolutely loved it. I have a powerstroke diesel now for personal needs but there's always gonna be a soft spot in my heart for the 5.0.
I feel like if you care enough for aesthetics, you can even put 10 grand into modding the lariat and have it looking insanely good. Just seems like a much better financial deal than getting a raptor R.
My Dad just bought the 1st HP700 at his dealership. It's definitely a neck snapper if your not ready! I call it the "ButtPucker" Atlas Blue, Lowered, Borla Exhaust System, Upgraded brakes, Launch Control Bronze Edition. Its a beast that runs like a bat out of hell! 🤟
Hey Justin ma man,I always enjoy your reviews/comparisons.we all know the Raptor/R is a beast! .,infact the entire F150 is awesome! & I must say I dig your truck being in FX4.
The Raptor R has a suspension that is in another world compared to the lariat. You couldn’t even make a regular F-150 handle like a Raptor R off road with all the mods you wanted. The frame it’s self on the R is different, very very different.
The Raptor is also ugly, and not everyone needs or wants a truck designed for highspeed O/R. The Raptors suspension limits its towing and payload compared to a F150 with either the tow package or max tow package. How many people benefit more from a desert racer setup as opposed to one made to tow/haul more?
@@JROC734well, a lot of us watching the video here will probably disagree with that opinion, just like Justin, if we could afford it, it wouldn't even be a question. But we also get the truck that suits our needs. If you need to tow (bc none of us buy trucks like that to see how much you can fit in the back), you get a tow rig, but there are quite a bit of people that do get those for sheer fun.
@@roniebonilla8611 well then rock out with your Glock out, I guess man. If you feel the need to buy it as a toy then spend your $ as you see fit. The reality is that 90% of the people living on the east coast who buy them have 0 need for what the factory claims they're intended for. You buy it because you think it's cool, and it's a status symbol, but you're willing to compromise practicality to ride in a tall/wide truck. Why is it that people with Raptors, TRX, or lifted trucks, running large/aggressive O/R tires, always have the cleanest trucks? My stock ride height, factory tire FX4 gets me in the woods, and through the fields just fine. Raptors, TRX's, and even ZR2's to some extent look tacky and gaulky. They certainly aren't clean, elegant looking trucks. A RST or High Country looks way better than a ZR2. A Laramie looks way better than a TRX. A King Ranch looks way better than a Raptor. A Tundra Platinum looks way better than a TRD PRO. A Titan Platinum looks way better than a PRO-4X. They look like big Tonka trucks or something. Plus they're (Raptors and TRX's) slow on the street relative to the power they're making, and if high single digit/low double digit MPG's are your thing then again you do you. My favorite O/R toys were always 2 stroke dirt bikes, but that's just me I guess. Also why is every time someone brings up towing when talking 1/2 tons everyone acts like if you need to tow your boat or Foxbody that you should just go buy you a 1 ton truck? (BTW my parents live about a 1/2 mile from me and do own a 18 F350 XLT FX4 302A PSD dually for when I need to tow really large loads) Why do I wish to compromise on ride quality, handling, cost of ownership, ease of living with a truck in crowded areas, etc, on a truck that's able to tow over 16 tons? Unless you go with the gasoline option in a 3/4 ton then your payload is no better than it is in a half ton, but a gasoline 3/4 doesn't tow like a diesel, gets poor MPG's, and is way slower than a 1/2 ton or diesel truck. We're comparing 1/2 tons here, and a F150 with the tow package or max tow package is rated to tow and haul considerably more than a Raptor. I have an 03 Lightning that has the drivetrain to tow great, just not the wheelbase, suspension, or tire setup to do so. A Whippled GEN3 Coyote crewcab 4WD truck running a proper tune (not some factory Whipple, ultraconservative tune) and E85 will wax fat on a stock Raptor R on the highway. You could likely mod the Raptor R, and a Predator is going to be a more robust engine for boosted, high HP, but HP for HP a Raptor R sitting on big/heavy 37's will not run with a FX4 sitting on 32's or now 33's. If 750-800 HP is all you need then a GEN3+ Coyote is plenty capable of supporting that HP level.
I ask this for all of my fellow car enthusiast can we get a raptor r video with a 35" tire swap you would definitely be the first and only channel to do it so far I beg you
Justin has a Corsa Sport System on his truck, you can find it at the following link! -Zach www.americantrucks.com/corsa-f150-sport-single-exhaust-system-with-black-tips-middle-side-exit-t570967.html
I have a 2021 FX4 with the 3.5 . Evolution intake MBRP race exhaust and Livernois performance tune. 3.55 rear. Less than $2000.00 for the build and the thing flies.
I would take the Lariat all day long over the 150K Raptor R. You can add a lift kit and some nice rims and tires to the Lariat and it would look a lot better.
Thank you guys for both watching! While Justin has a soft spot for Raptors (especially with a supercharged V8), I think he'd agree with both of you! -Zach
RCSBs 4wds w whipples are the 'fast car' ego killers. Quicker than any factory PU truck, 50 state smog legal, can haul a couple dirtbikes while seating 1 more adult than a danny disco 2 seater sportscar.l that scrapes speedbumps. Its a real world do it all vehicle except hitting Gs in corners.
Even the adrenaline factor for either of those F-150s can't outweigh the ridiculous price tags. I'll just have to stick with my 18 Lariat 3.5 EB until I win the lottery.
With that $85k left over you could make you F150 an 8 second truck or spend a bit more and get a KNINE ranger with 36”+ wheel travel with full cage and swing arms and have a legit off-road truck…..
I bet you can swap the suspension of the raptor R into the lariat and make it offroad worthy for less then the raptor 150k price tag COYOTE ALL THE WAY
Oh man you were so close…! Both trucks were right there! I can’t believe you didn’t swap the normal f150 wheels onto the Raptorrrrrr for a pull or three…. The internet wants to know!!
@@69BOSS429 I didn't say that the 5.0 doesn't like boost. The simple fact is the engine internals were not designed to handle such power (almost double the stock) while the 5.2 is built for such power.
Romaith, quit being poor making excuses about reliability/warranty and hating on the 5.0....go get a v8 tundra and blow $8k on a magnussen blowr to get 550hp so you can be 'reliable' and slow. You have no clue what your talking about.
So the formula is "smaller tires = less weight, less circumference, less whatever, right?". So..imagine if you somehow equipped one of the trucks with 10" wheelbarrow tires. Would it be even faster? According to the formula, it would. But I have a hard time envisioning that.
These aftermarket kits are SO overrated ! This 775hp kit is at best a 700hp kit, just like Ford’s 700hp kit is at best a 650hp and more realistically a 625hp kit. They’re still good, my dream is to have one of these, but the advertised numbers are way too exaggerated ! I’d get the Lariat with a 2/4 drop and performance tires on 22s 🤤
Yeah I feel like the kits need to stipulate that a good dyno tune session is probably needed to get anywhere close to what they advertise. I’d be interested to see what kinds of gains are possible doing that over using just the canned tune they provide.
You got That right appreciate the video not everybody can afford the Ford raptor!! Rather had the affordable truck anyway that's good enough for the blue collar man!! Thanks 👍👍👍👍😳❤️🤍💙🇺🇸💪
The Raptor R is a much bigger truck in person, those 37s and wider fenders really help there. A new grille would help make them look a little more similar though! Thanks for watching! -Zach

Good stuff Justin!
What is the mpg on the lariat with the whipple on it?
I ask this for all of my fellow car enthusiast can we get a raptor r video with a 35" tire swap you would definitely be the first and only channel to do it so far I beg you

That whipple tune really is tamed down a lot . Would like to see your truck on a custom tune .
Is that the Ford Performance blower kit you can get from the dealer?
Nope! Its a Whipple 3.0L Kit you can get right on our site! amtrucks.at/3JsPJaU -Zach
What kind of gas mileage do you get with that whipple blower?
I was averaging around 15mpg after the blower. That's dipped a little now with the lift and 35"s- that build video is coming soon. -Justin
I’m getting 9mpg with mine lol
You don't buy trucks for gas mileage
That coyote motor is wayyyy cheaper to replace as well if you ever had to.
Very true! Fingers crossed you'd never have to pay for that kind of repair though haha! Thanks for watching. -Zach
What would the whipple truck have run with it in 4HI I wonder?
No dyno tests have been done. Livernois says + 125 hp. And it feels like it.

This is exactly what I am doing. Lariat 502a crew cab 4wd and getting a Whipple or VMP. #Sleeper
Who does the tuning on the 5.0?
What is the gross weight of each truck?
I would take the Lariat all day long over the 150K Raptor R. You can add a lift kit and some nice rims and tires to the Lariat and it would look a lot better.
Exactly and also you can upgrade 1 step at a time rather than dumping all the money on R at same time.

Wish had 5.0 Ford Expedition!
I’ve been thinking a Tremor with the 5.0 and Ford’s own supercharger (dealer installed, warrantied) would be a solid “poor man’s” Raptor R.
That would be a sick combo! Definitely more of a usable daily-driver compared to the Raptor. -Zach
