Well I can't believe it's been 1 year since I picked up this beauty but here we are. Here's a 1 year update and review on my 2014 Ford SVT Raptor. I bought it with 57,000 miles and put on an additional 18k since. These comprise of some daily driving as well as off roading of course. Looking forward to putting on the next 75,000 miles myself and keep you guys posted on how she runs! Thanks for watching! Feel free to follow on Insta: @exoticars19
You need a tuner, it wakes up the low end laziness of the 6.2, I went with a SCT blank tuner then had 5-Star tuning to give me 5 different tunes from 91 octane race all the way to 89 octane city programming. Works very will, I have the same truck, same mods except I went with a AFE stage 2 intake and stock exhaust.
Glad you did an update on the Raptor I just purchased My Gen 1 Raptor about 3 weeks ago and all your videos help me finally pulling the plug to getting one I still haven’t taken it Off-roading because I’m afraid of the hydraulic steering so i’m cautious the Raptor has been my dream truck and I finally have one and thanks for all your videos that help me
You dont have to be that cautious about the steering, I have 109K miles on mine, still rocking the original steering pump . What you want to be cautious about is the fuel pump fuse, make sure the larger fuse has been installed, otherwise under hard loads over a period of time will burn out the stock fuel pump fuse and will leave you stranded.
Eddy Paz has it gaven you any problems I’m looking to get a 2014 raptor with 94,000 miles but that seemed high for me and it seems like all the lower mileaged ones cost an arm and a leg
Me and my husband was looking for a new truck for him and I came across the 2010 SVT raptor and fell in love with the interior design 😍 been doing some researching just to make sure it will be worth the buy and I know yours is a little newer but dude you’ve sold me on the raptor!
Alecsander Fuentes unfortunately no because I couldn’t find one that was in good enough shape for the price range but I got an FX4 which I’d say is a good substitute...but a raptor is definitely on my bucket list ❤️
Brenthal Industries makes a suspension for that truck. They are a trophy truck manufacurer as well. It's pricey however, around $22,000 out the door, but it's a very good quality long travel suspension. From what I understand, the people that go on long desert trips, at high speeds say the stock suspension doesn't always hold up to that sort of abuse. (Not too sure what actually breaks). This is nothing to worry about though, just from what I've seen you doing. It might be worth it to you if you join clubs that go out and travel those long desert trips, sometimes they go to Baha. There is also the Snoball500, that happens in Michigan sometime in January. That one includes a 500 mile trip on backroads in the deep snow.
I got my 13' Raptor about 6 months ago and luv it!! I test drove the gen2 but the svt is very special and I too plan on keeping it forever also. Per your recommendation I also added corsa extreme! I have 48k miles and will be re doing the fox shocks next! Keep the raptor vids coming great job!
I bought my 2013 SCrew Raptor in September 2017 with 93,000 miles on it. It now (10-28-19) has 132,000 miles on it. No problems. I love this truck. When I finally do have to replace the engine, many miles from now, I'll refurbish the entire truck. I plan on keeping it forever.
I’m a raptor owner. Glad to see you’re gonna keep it forever. I think the Gen 1 market took a hit recently. Maybe because there’s so many used Gen 2s for sale now idk. What do u think the market is gonna do for this truck. They used to not depreciate, but now I’m having my doubts.
What's a good deal for a 2014 raptor these days? I found one with 68K miles for $47,000. Tuxedo. Luxury package. ADD front and back bumpers, led light bar, led rear and front off road lights... Super clean. Just want some input.. Thanks!
I have an idea for a worthwhile mod. Gen 2 shocks and struts. Just swap your gen 1 coils on the struts, get a slight leveling up front and you'll be amazed at the improvement off road. Of course I'm talking about the blue non livewire version from the first couple of years as there's no way to take advantage of the electronics of the livewire. Only drawback can be the UCA Angle some say leveling raptors isn't great, but others say it's fine. But if you're worried about it some aftermarket UPA's will do the trick of remedying that issue.
I had the 40 series Flowmaster installed and had tail pipes tucked over rear axle can't see it, sounds way deeper then this, no SC but added SCT X4 tuner(helps reduce 6.2L stock low-end lag significantly!) and Injen intake just these 3 things you won't regret the 1000 dollar investment!
Looking at getting a 2014...I know they are not tow rigs, but could it pull 7,500lbs a few times a yr. I can't make my mind up between the terrain color or the ruby red with black and red seats. Gas tank 36 gallons? Yours looks great man you have 35s?
Just subscribed!! I did same as you. Bought 2013 scab raptor with 29k, like new. Ford performance cat back with 5star 93octane street tune and stock intake for now. Connected uplifter switches and installed six Rigid industries cube LED;s behind grille on 2"x2" aluminum bar from home depot using stock mounting points. Before this truck was driving VW R32 for 10yrs. Love trucks now.Lol. Will enjoy following you!!
Hey Brandon huge fan of your channel. I have quick question, when you missed up your steering what was the part that you missed up cause I did the same exact thing you did and I missed up my steering on my 2014 raptor. Thanks in advance
Would you ever do a collab with a subscriber? I live in San Antonio Texas and also own a Gen1 2013 SVT Raptor. And thanks for the inspiration to install the corsa extreme I love it.
Would love to see some more off roading maybe a dedicated off road video in the raptor i am in the market for a gen 1 and theres no real good dedicated offroad videos on the gen 1 love the truck man
Like the deep idle of the original more to be honest, never care for crackly sound. Other then that all looks fun, if you willing to pay twice as much for this millage used crew cab. Like my regular big horn Ram, but Raptor is always cool to see on road, or even better offroad
Ive done both. Truck just rolled over 130k. I did the shock exchange so I wasn't down for more then a day. I ran the shocks about 100k. (97kish to be exact until I changed them out).
Honestly for me gas wise its not too bad. Partially becasue i mostly ride motorcycle but even when i do drive this truck its just a little more expensive than my previous small european car. Full tank in both of them last for about same distance, obviously in my saab tank was much smaller but it required premium and this one is just unlead so overall now i spend around 40$ when filling up comparing to my saabs 35.
@@TexasRevving If they don't put a v8 in the next raptor. It will just be another reason the Gen1 holds its value so much more. People hate when I say that but it is a big reason why.
SVC offroad has built several 6.2's with gen 2 body. Mcneil racing makes the fenders/hood/bedsides they use. I believe LNC collision here on youtube does the body work for SVC's builds.
@@TexasRevving no, it was just surprising to me. I drive a Toyota 4-cylinder. I didn't know MPG was so low for trucks. I'm actually looking forward to the bronco. Or maybe I can look into a 90's model bronco. They get 14mpg so I thought newer cars would have improved 20 years later. It was not an attack on you. 😩
I think they look great, my 3 favorite stock Raptor wheels are the black gen 1 headlocks, the 2017 wheels and the 2019-2020 beadlocks. Just my opinion. Your wheels come in just behind those in 4th place. I used to like the grey original wheels, but I feel they look dated now. Whatever you do please, please for the love of God! Don't put 20 or 22's on it.

From a guy with a 17 and 19 Raptor your truck is BEASTMODE perfect spec

Sir, you owe the state of Texas $14,230 for the damage of grass.
loooooooool
Bibi Weeby Add it to the tab 😂
I have a 2013 Raptor; Terrain as well. It’s an awesome truck got mine in the low 20s but it had 133K miles. I love my weekend Warrior
Eddy Paz has it gaven you any problems I’m looking to get a 2014 raptor with 94,000 miles but that seemed high for me and it seems like all the lower mileaged ones cost an arm and a leg

Liz FBWild just do a raptor conversation and upgrade performance and your good
@@lizfbwild8027 I finally got mine Friday the only one 14 on the lot and let me tell you, once you test drive it you fell in love with it right away.

Great video! I am considering a Raptor as a daily driver so this really helped my research process.

You’ll be good for at least another 100k miles, my 2010 has 230k miles and still runs like new. I do change the oil every 3 to 5k miles
Buy a pedal commander, I love my gen1 with it installed. Even though it doesn’t add power it just feels like a different truck.
What does it do
I put a 40 inch light bar behind the front grill. It looks so cool! And now I’m getting ready to install a Ford performance rear differential cover.
Yeah that's good placement for a bar, considering doing that as well.
Got my 2013 race red 6.2l a few months ago only 20 grand with 215,000 miles on it! It runs like new. These trucks make driving fun again!
Heck yeah they do!
Jakob from The Straight Pipes just bought the cheapest, highest mile Gen I Raptor for their channel and loves it...

Keep it until the kids of today have gainful employment. The collector market for Raptors should be good in 20 years.

Nice video and pretty awesome garage lineup you have. The 13-14 raptor is my absolute dream truck that I will own at some point in life hopefully 🙏
And you will with hard work and dedication

Supercharger! Light bar behind the grill is what I got on my 2013 and it's boss.
Hey Brandon huge fan of your channel. I have quick question, when you missed up your steering what was the part that you missed up cause I did the same exact thing you did and I missed up my steering on my 2014 raptor. Thanks in advance
How many miles does it have now? Any issues or anything mechanical?
I love my F150 lariat Limit 6.5 bed 2012 6.2 SVT raptor powered 4wd super 44 flowmaster S&B cold air intake system 36,800 original miles
I’m a big fan of your video you were a big influencer in me buying a 2014 Ford raptor. The only thing I needed to do was re-build the fox shocks
Have got one up for sale.......its neat, good, in a good condition!!......contact me +18125661274
Would you ever do a collab with a subscriber? I live in San Antonio Texas and also own a Gen1 2013 SVT Raptor. And thanks for the inspiration to install the corsa extreme I love it.
Yeah man we'll have to link up and get the Raptors together one of these days! Glad you're liking the Corsa as well!
Yea man I think it would make a great video!Contact me via Instagram at El_Pollo_Loco69 whenever and we’ll get the Raptors on the dirt!
IF YOUR NOT IN THE MARKET FOR A RAPTOR YOUR ALLL READYY WRONGG!!!
but the real question is, does it have an aux port.
Are by chance in surprise Arizona? I swear i saw your truck today. Same decal and everything...
Check out either icon or fox 3.0 shocks I heard it is a really good upgrade and thats what I'm looking at doing to my 2013 Raptor
Would love to see some more off roading maybe a dedicated off road video in the raptor i am in the market for a gen 1 and theres no real good dedicated offroad videos on the gen 1 love the truck man
Where did you get your bedside decal? I love it and would like to get one for my Raptor!
Ronnie Haywood watch from 8:12

U should upgrade the suspension just a bit more lol nothing to crazy
I’m getting one for sure
Have you already changed out Fuse 27? Oh and have you had the shocks rebuilt yet?
Whats the deal with fuse 27? please share.
I have not done either actually
Ive done both. Truck just rolled over 130k. I did the shock exchange so I wasn't down for more then a day. I ran the shocks about 100k. (97kish to be exact until I changed them out).
Run the blue gen 2 shocks and struts with the gen 1 coils, you will love it!
This will be my family vehicle lol
Same
Honestly for me gas wise its not too bad. Partially becasue i mostly ride motorcycle but even when i do drive this truck its just a little more expensive than my previous small european car. Full tank in both of them last for about same distance, obviously in my saab tank was much smaller but it required premium and this one is just unlead so overall now i spend around 40$ when filling up comparing to my saabs 35.
Do you use 93 octane?
Love sounded of these things lol but watched a vid other day about a death wobble at front.. Just wondering if you've came across this yet lol
Thats cute, my 2011 raptor just rolled 216k miles 🤣
Nice truck!
Smoke out the windows, lights, and a CB radio.
That is the SONY Sync2 system. It IS NOT a Bose. I'm an audiophile and that was hard to hear, lolol.
5 1/2 foot bed btw.
Hahaha, sorry bout that ;D
2014 6.2 raptor with new raptor's face would be nice
For sure, I love the Gen.1 look as well though. Fingers crossed the Gen.3 will look even meaner and have a V8. Chances are slim though
@@TexasRevving If they don't put a v8 in the next raptor. It will just be another reason the Gen1 holds its value so much more. People hate when I say that but it is a big reason why.

A super charger!!
Do it..
I have a charger rt and I spend about 4,000 a year so not bad but gas in Texas is cheaper compared to California lol
Do u have a oil catch can on ur truck
Derick Douangnouanexay these don’t need a catch cans since its port injection, Gen 2 Raptors need them because of direct injection
N/A does not need oil catch cans
I want to see you drive it on two wheels.
I mean, I almost flipped it on my first day out ;D
Tires $1600- Rebuilt shocks $1400 basic maintenance...
The 5.4 Liter Triton V8 is also a good engine for a Ford raptor
too bad the new raptors dont sound that good
I know!!
No intakes do add 15-20 to the wheel
6.2 SVT raptor powered will pick up 28 HP with a cold air intake. Tested and proven. K&N cold air intake and S&B cold air intake
