Folks have to understand that this truck holds it's value more than any other truck after it takes the initial depreciation hit. We all need a good reliable vehicle for sure
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I work in farm appraisal and a previous co-worker who was a farm manager would only drive raptors because a typical 1/2 ton pickup would not stand up to the thousands of miles of bumping and jarring. Good choice for sure.
Some people may think it’s dumb to use a raptor as a farm truck. I say you’re the first person I’ve seen actually put this extremely capable truck to use.
Great video! I was in the market for a used Raptor for all the reasons you mentioned. My daily driver until recently was my F450 King Ranch. Great truck, but when my equipment transport trailer isn't hooked to it, it rides like a sheet of plywood with a steering wheel, and it gets 10 MPG uphill, downhill, loaded or empty. Which isn't awesome right now! I wound up buying a brand new F150 XLT super cab instead (longer bed with the rear doors that open "backwards") . It was an impulse purchase. My 450 was in for service and I noticed the 150. I was able to borrow that truck for a bit while they worked on my big truck. The thing that made me buy it: The seats! My back has been jacked up for 25 years. My King Ranch truck has amazing seats, but you pay for them! I wasn't expecting much from cloth seats in an XLT F150. I was wrong. The seats in that truck were amazing and I bought it that day, for that reason. Over the last several months, I have been surprised at just how many features a "basic" F150 came with. Rear end locker, Apple Car-Play, Ford Pass, multiple driving and terrain modes, that trailer back up thingy that I don't use, and a 302 V8 that has stupid power, but gets over 20 MPG on the long trips......just to name a few. I have never owned a truck smaller than an F250 before. And I am very pleased with the value of my 2021 F150. The truck was just over 40K brand new, with a very good warranty. It doesn't look as cool as a Raptor. But it's a great truck for the money, and it's brand new for less money than I would have been able to find a good used Raptor for in my area.
I put a Undercover ArmorFlex Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover on my truck. Ordered on Amazon, put on myself. I would buy it again with no regrets. It's awesome.
Josh the best bed cover on the planet is Roll'n Lock. I had one on my tundra and someone spent a good amount of time trying to break into it without success. It is costly i think i paid $1500 installed but cannot remember. It could have been $1k not sure but its been a great investment
I like my Toyota I ain't got no payments but insurance on it and I love it. You got a nice truck and I'm glad you won't have to rack your nerves anymore on long trips way to go brother. I hope you don't have any payments but if so we all have to go there someday sooner or later. My wife and I have been working on getting out of debt and we're almost there, only a few thousand dollars left to go to stomp that debt out. God bless you and yours and good luck with your new truck brother
Shifting hard? Sunroof working right? How's your power steering...whinning? My steering wheel looks like it was cleaned with brake cleaner....when you start your's does it rattle for about 2 seconds? I love the look...but can't stand the nuances that are prematurely wearing
Thats a Good looking truck. I just sold mine after three years. sold it for more than I paid for it and put 45k miles on it because of the crazy market. Replaced it with a New Ford f250 Tremor. Made complete since to order new. Came out owing less and in a brand new truck.
Looks great! Glad you came to PA. Too bad I had the chance to meet the four of you and did not realize it. I would have taken a half day. I can now drive my tractor to them in a few minutes. Hope you had as much fun as when I go there. I can't wait till they get all the shelving in and set up on the main floor completed. The old dump looks pretty good also. I really like the new ford app on my work truck. It really helps on the cold days here.
Im getting the henessey version got a super deal I’m stoked just how it looks and every option checked. Never had suck a option truck so double panaramic is a must
I'm not a fan of the ecoboot engines just from a maintenance stand point. And the fake engine noise annoys me. But that's what's cool about trucks I found the one I like and you found the one you like.
not sure about "fake" engine noise....mine makes it's own noise lol.....no more maintenance than any other engine..other than changing the coolant more often I'm told
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer i was told the direct injection requires cleaning and te turbos require maintenance. And yes they do put a fake v8 engine noise over the speakers at high rpm. There are programmers out there which will turn that off. I believe its available over forscan which is cheap to use to enable and disable certain features in the software. I had to enable a bit to slow the blinkers when I went to LED. But yeah thats why they make options! Everyone can get the truck they want
Super crew, beadlock wheels, pano moonroof, 360 camera, integrated tail gate step w/ bar handle. Have everything except carbon fiber package and ford driving technology which is lane assist keep. Best purchased I’ve made in 2023
What year was it? That’s a good deal! Still enjoying it with any issues? I’m wanting to buy a ‘14 Raptor. But would buy an ‘17-‘18 if the deal was right.
Morning josh that truck is lovely i love the f150s they look so nice i bet they drive even better i love the American vans cars the hemis are allsome you build the best v8s without a doubt and the sound is something else i love the sound of the American v8s cannot be beaten no way.
My wishlist truck...am an American truck junkie....I am currently driving a 2002 ford explorer....working towards getting a ford F-250 XLT... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Was wondering if you still have this truck, after owning this truck what is your overall thoughts on it? More specifically about the power train it self? Any issues?
The reason why the 37 packages is a 12k price is because they had to make another frame. To get the larger tires to fit they designed a whole new frame, which they also use for the raptor r
Hey Josh thank you for the video and you for surely do deserve that new truck there you work very hard and you deserve it but I never would have boughten the Ford raptor because I would have boughten the Toyota and I guarantee you that Toyota will outlive that but to each his own and I wish you the very best luck with it
New Ram.....$70k and losing money driving off the lot....used Raptor.....$55k and will never be worth less than $40k.....new ram 1500 in 6 years will go from $70k to $20k. That's why I bought Raptor my brotha
6 months ago I picked up a 2017 nissan Titan. A great deal , under $30grand, and still has warranty. Needed a more reliable truck rather than my 22 year old Nissan frontier
Holy crap did you loose a ton of weight? Haven't been watching for more than a year, thought you where a different person at first. Hope it's the good kind of weight loss, stay safe bruth
I’m not a Ford fan but that’s a really nice truck. Heck yeah a farmer needs a truck for the farm and a truck for town. Congratulations on a great purchase. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
I'm about to return my 2000 Xterra to being a daily driver. Going to be running back and forth from TN to NC about every weekend. Truck has 367k on it, thought the engine is sitting at about 90k. Debating on getting a newer truck, but money.
I’m not a Ford guy until you get into the bigger trucks, but the raptor is pretty nice. I like to color on it too it’s something I haven’t seen before. That’s pretty cool. Congrats. :)
Maybe they have the bugs out of the 'Ford App' but another UA-camr, Steve Lehto, (he is a lawyer in Mi) was talking about the App. He had bought a new Explorer and got the App. He said he loved it until he had a low tire. Yes the App alerted that the tire was low, and always alerted that the tire was low ever after. No matter what. He found it was a common problem with the App and he uninstalled it. Ford either couldn't or wouldn't fix it.
I think the front shafts are bigger on the 37in tires but it still doesn’t justify 10k. The only think that’s worth it on the new raptor is the new rear suspension design.
I don't think any of them are worth it....no more...never again...look up my video follow up on this.."why ford is failing" you'll see what happened to this junk pile!
Josh, that's a real nice truck however don't back into something and brake the tail light lens .. that could cost you upwards of $1500. To replace .. just some info for you to chew on and it's not just the Raptor all F150 led lights are $$$$
" the transmission and it helped for a bit. It mainly happens on downshifts, if you are coasting down the road coming up to a stop. Always happens with gears 4 or 5. My good friend is the service director at the dealership and says he hears complaints daily about hard shifts. Other than that one thing, the truck is awesome.
Josh, something I've found is the hand sanitizer will ruin the 'chrome' finish in a ford (looks like the bottom of your steering wheel). I'm not sure why it happens to ford but it does. My RAM has had several drops of sanitizer on the chrome finish and it still looks perfect.
I drive cross country in a my 99 Chrevy Silverado 2500 6.0 L (Gas), original engine with 521,000 miles, I sure don't need a prissy truck to get me cross country or long road trips. Take care of your truck and you won't need a new one
see ya at the auto parts store brotha....nothing wrong with having and taking care of nice things...your truck was also new at one time. Now...will the raptor rack up 521k?? I doubt it lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer how you like the color avalanche grey??? I’m buying one out of state not sure how it will look in person. Does it look more grey or more white?
The Raptor is too overpriced for me. I see that as useful on my farm as a sports car. I want a truck to handle a load and the weight. For long trips would be a smaller vehicle with a more efficient engine. Gas prices are only going up. I have my Jeep Cherokee sport for that and my 05 F150 for the farm.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That is absolutely true. A big part of making decisions about vehicles is how long the driver plans to keep them. I still have the first F250 I bought in high school. It has over half a million miles on it. That truck, today, is worth about $27.94.......But if I were to buy a similar truck brand new? Yeah, you get the picture.
just for fun. it's exciting to get a new vehicle thanks for sharing! i have a car for life theory. knock on wood. Diesel Jetta. just had 90% block of ice intercooler hose off the turbo. sha-shing!!
this was a couple years ago....and I sold it just a few months ago....DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL TRUCK!!!!! Look up my video on "why ford is failing" just search it....you'll see all the troubles I had
Should be a dang fine truck. I reduced farm assets a couple of years ago before Covid with a 290 lot auction. Did well: too well. Wife decided "we" should keep the farm and buy more stuff: to replace what I just sold. Anyway, upgraded to new or at least nearly new and pleased with that.I must say that it is nice to open the barn and not see oil leaks under the new tractors,get in the seat and all start right up and purr along.Even the ride on new tractors is better. Crazy.New to me backhoe is 30 years younger than the one I sold. Now that is nice.Expensive,but nice.
FYI My friend has a 2017 Ford escape with the ECO boost , he had to replace the engine as the head gaskets leak between the cylinders. Pretty common problem the fix requires a new engine. Not sure it will affect you but it might
Great overview of the Raptor, Josh. Yep - I rode in that truck! Lots of great information about what to look for when looking for a Raptor (or a used truck). I wasn’t considering buying a Raptor until I rode in yours!! - Chad
Nice truck Stoney! It looks brand new. You can't beat the reliability and comfort of these newer trucks and suspension. Can't stand the short beds though. Let me know if you part with any of your older trucks. Take care
Ummm because every farmer needs a town truck. Even if it is the most playful truck on the farm.
Folks have to understand that this truck holds it's value more than any other truck after it takes the initial depreciation hit. We all need a good reliable vehicle for sure
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I work in farm appraisal and a previous co-worker who was a farm manager would only drive raptors because a typical 1/2 ton pickup would not stand up to the thousands of miles of bumping and jarring. Good choice for sure.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer great video josh. What trucks are you going to sell?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer HEY WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE JEEP PROJECT? BRING IT OUTA MOTHBALLS
Some people may think it’s dumb to use a raptor as a farm truck. I say you’re the first person I’ve seen actually put this extremely capable truck to use.

That's the best color. I'm glad they're bringing it back.

This is the best Raptor review I’ve seen since researching them. I’m torn between which year is the most reliable but your ‘17 is super clean!
Keep an eye on the turbo's at about 100,000 mi.
Yeah, there is a reason dealerships have shelves stocked with them
@John Beyers the 6.2L V8 should still be a option in those trucks in my opinion
I put a Undercover ArmorFlex Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover on my truck. Ordered on Amazon, put on myself. I would buy it again with no regrets. It's awesome.
Bigger question..who was driving it???????????? 1:07
After you put in your code on the door hit the 5/6 button and it should drop your tail gate automatically, thats what it does on my 19 f250
Do you know about the 3.5L ecoboost cam phaser recall? Rattles on start up. Service action 21B10.
I’ve heard of those as well. Did Ford agree to fix that under the bulletin?
Nice truck Josh. I'm sure it'll bring you years of enjoyment!
Hello from Minnesota. Congrats on the new truck!
Congratulations on the new Truck. Very nice. I bet you will be very happy for a long time with it.

Was hear.
Congrats. Needed and bought. Hope it gives you years of service.
Wooooooo!
The nice thing about the Ecoboost is that you get that torque from about 1500 RPM.
I totally get it. I don’t envy you on insuring all those vehicles, but I totally get the desire for them.
shew...me niether...some vehicles are going on the chopping block for sure

Looking at doing the same thing- the 17/18 is a sweet spot in 2022. Debating on this or a new RAM. Thanks for the video!
New Ram.....$70k and losing money driving off the lot....used Raptor.....$55k and will never be worth less than $40k.....new ram 1500 in 6 years will go from $70k to $20k. That's why I bought Raptor my brotha

In control of your own the inside and computers like the space shuttle trying to drive around too much computer for me have fun with it though
How’d u fine one for 50k I’m looking now for one with decent miles on it and haven’t seen any with low mileage at that price
had it listed on marketplace for $48k the other day and had to pull it down because of spammers
Thank you for giving us your review. Great video, thanks for sharing
Josh, that's a real nice truck however don't back into something and brake the tail light lens .. that could cost you upwards of $1500. To replace .. just some info for you to chew on and it's not just the Raptor all F150 led lights are $$$$
My 2019 F150 King Ranch is awesome, and has the 3.5 Ecoboost. What a great engine! The 10-speed auto tranny, though, is another story. Enjoy!
Have you had bad luck with the tranny? Ive heard good things about them
" the transmission and it helped for a bit. It mainly happens on downshifts, if you are coasting down the road coming up to a stop. Always happens with gears 4 or 5. My good friend is the service director at the dealership and says he hears complaints daily about hard shifts. Other than that one thing, the truck is awesome.
it does shift hard at low speeds...mostly if in sport mode
Josh, something I've found is the hand sanitizer will ruin the 'chrome' finish in a ford (looks like the bottom of your steering wheel). I'm not sure why it happens to ford but it does. My RAM has had several drops of sanitizer on the chrome finish and it still looks perfect.
yep....I agree....so will Deep Woods Off....I make sure my hands are totally dry before touching things...new steering wheel is on the way fyi
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thanks for the tip on deep woods. I use it and I’ll be careful!

I'm watching this video in April 2024. What can you tell about your experience after those years?
Did you ever say what year it was?
2017
I added a S&B CAI to my 17.

Do you still have this raptor? I’m thinking about getting a 17 same color. Just wanted to ask how it’s been owning it.
yep...fun to drive for sure....little quirks kinda get on your nerves....rattling when ya start...sunroof acting up...interior parts cheap
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer how you like the color avalanche grey??? I’m buying one out of state not sure how it will look in person. Does it look more grey or more white?
Hey I am looking at a raptor and the same color too! It has about 94,000 miles on it. It is going for $49,000. I was wondering if that is a good deal?
turbo technology isn't what it was in 1988 my brotha...they should last well beyond 150k
I like the raptor...however it's not perfect that's for sure. The color is desirable and pretty rare on a raptor
The Raptor is too overpriced for me. I see that as useful on my farm as a sports car. I want a truck to handle a load and the weight. For long trips would be a smaller vehicle with a more efficient engine. Gas prices are only going up. I have my Jeep Cherokee sport for that and my 05 F150 for the farm.
In 10 years this truck will be worth nearly what I paid for it...in 10 years a regular f150 will be worth 5-8 grand
Josh I hate to be a smart guy but in 10 years gas will be crazy expensive and electric trucks will rule the world 😊
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That is absolutely true. A big part of making decisions about vehicles is how long the driver plans to keep them. I still have the first F250 I bought in high school. It has over half a million miles on it. That truck, today, is worth about $27.94.......But if I were to buy a similar truck brand new? Yeah, you get the picture.
just for fun. it's exciting to get a new vehicle thanks for sharing! i have a car for life theory. knock on wood. Diesel Jetta.
just had 90% block of ice intercooler hose off the turbo. sha-shing!!
Whats the year and how much u pay?
this was a couple years ago....and I sold it just a few months ago....DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL TRUCK!!!!! Look up my video on "why ford is failing" just search it....you'll see all the troubles I had
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer ok thank you so much brother!
no problem.....I hate that mine had so many problems....what a good looking truck to be such a bad investment
Should be a dang fine truck. I reduced farm assets a couple of years ago before Covid with a 290 lot auction. Did well: too well. Wife decided "we" should keep the farm and buy more stuff: to replace what I just sold. Anyway, upgraded to new or at least nearly new and pleased with that.I must say that it is nice to open the barn and not see oil leaks under the new tractors,get in the seat and all start right up and purr along.Even the ride on new tractors is better. Crazy.New to me backhoe is 30 years younger than the one I sold. Now that is nice.Expensive,but nice.
Nice looking truck kind of like the new Ford Maverick truck but larger, but I would buy a larger bed. New big size trucks are expensive.
I think the Maverick is based on the ranger platform.....no long bed option on a raptor my friend
ford calls the other cab supercab. great video thanks dude
I love you Ford Raptor and the rest of your trucks can you please video on your trucks only
Which ram did u sell the unicorn
lol...no way! Silver ram is going as well as the mustang..potentially dump truck and buy a dump trailer...1 less engine to maintain
Copy that was just wondering. Have a good one buddy
FYI My friend has a 2017 Ford escape with the ECO boost , he had to replace the engine as the head gaskets leak between the cylinders. Pretty common problem the fix requires a new engine. Not sure it will affect you but it might
different engine for sure....this one is build by ford performance...much more hyped up
Escape has the same problem (cylinder leak of coolant) since 2014. The engine in this one is different.
Jesus, I didn't know you were ballin' like that.
new f250 $85k.....used raptor? Way less....I just couldn't justify having a sports car...so why not a sports truck that's useful right
Great overview of the Raptor, Josh. Yep - I rode in that truck! Lots of great information about what to look for when looking for a Raptor (or a used truck). I wasn’t considering buying a Raptor until I rode in yours!! - Chad
Nice truck Stoney! It looks brand new. You can't beat the reliability and comfort of these newer trucks and suspension. Can't stand the short beds though. Let me know if you part with any of your older trucks. Take care
What year is your raptor
