- About 2 years ago an all-new Raptor was born, feeding on rock and mud like never before. We tested it in wide array of conditions and from tarmac to trail the Raptor never disappointed. But Ford thinks they can make things even better so for 2019 the Raptor receives a trio of upgrades.
MSRP as-tested: $71,985

3 years old but I just found this video.
So the rough ride isn’t just in my head!
I had a 2018 from August 2018 until September 2020. Traded it for a 2020 Ram Limited because I thought my wife wanted to get a travel trailer but she ended up buying us a small farm instead!
The Ram rode great but the Hemi felt like a four cylinder compared to the Raptor.
This past June she surprised me with a 2019 Raptor with 32k miles. I was weary of buying a used Raptor but the dealer threw in a bumper to bumper 100k miles no deductible warranty.
Since owning it a few months I have felt that it rides crappy on paved roads but thought it was in my head because I had been driving the Ram, which rides like a nice luxury car and the air suspension adjust the height and leveling based on the load. I also was sure my 2018 road much better.
So watching this video makes me think it isn’t just in my head or that this Raptor isn’t worn out with 37k on it now.
Of course I had a MPT 93 PRX tune loaded the first week.
I have a loaded 2017 super crew Raptor and the only thing I would wish to have from the 2019 is the seats and adaptable shocks but I am 50/50 on the shocks as they give a stiffer ride but improve towing.
By far the best review I have seen of the Raptor!! The image quality is also outstanding! Another great review Steve!
Thanks, Peter! Really appreciate you noticing.
Thank you. I've been waiting for your review of the Raptor. ❤️
Thanks, Mohamed!
Love my 18 scab. Works as advertised on trail and road.
Steve is one of the best car reviewers on UA-cam.
Fantastic job 👍
Thanks, Teo!
My dream truck 😍😱🔥
Who the hell disliked this video?!?! This guy did a great job! I can’t wait for my Raptor to arrive at the end of the month!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Joe! Congrats on your purchase. You're going to love it!
I think the people who didn’t like the video are fans of the Ram 1500 Rebel or Ram 2500 PowerWagon . Rumor has it that the Hellcat engine may be put into a Ram truck, 1500 or 2500... I’m not confirming it.
Billy Sou That would be insane and I honestly would highly consider it. But for this particular truck purchase, I wanted the absolute best off road performance truck and those don’t come close.
Such a beauty
Very well documented SH! Not too verbose nor overly succinct. Just the perfect temperature bowl of review porridge for our enjoyment.
That said, is it time for me to park an All New Raptor to the right of a Veloster, in my garage, to achieve Jurassic automotive bliss?
You should do it! What a pair that would make ;-) A velociraptor!
Amazing footage!!
I will never have any need whatsoever for this thing, and will never spend that much on a car. I still want one. Badly.
Own one 2019 loaded and yes the new shocks are pretty but definitely rough on paved road!! But still worth it!! I’ve added intake, intercooler, turbo adapters and deleted resonator now getting it tuned just because I can and want to max it out as much as possible.!
Pretty accurate
Great review. Informative and direct.
Thanks, Bob! You getting one?
@@stevehammes Not unless I win the lottery. 😂
I have 2018 f150 xlt which is okay.....lacks refinement on the interior, looks good on the exterior. I'll be going back to Ram.....I like the Rebel. Not a Raptor but more refined and affordable. 🙂
Hola sr esta súper camioneta es el rey de camino y de las montañas y no nadie que le llegue a esta súper camioneta solamente que sea una misma de ellas además como dice el dicho de camionestaz. Ford es ford y le envió un cordial saludo de su amigo de siempre fco Nares c hoy 26 mayo 2019 saludos desde mi ciudad Obregón sonora México
Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽... Now that’s a real Truck... I’m going to buy one 👍🏽👍🏽.

Is that your impression about us??? I’m not impressed.
@@user-dt7qu5ll7i Yea pretty much

traded in my 2013 6.2 for a 2019 and i am in love. the only issue i had with the 2013 was the engine. it was great on power but it felt too big. after taking the 2019 for a small desert run it was almost night and day. ya i miss the v8 sound but man this v6 is sweet. its like constant power throughout the rpm range. ill test drive the new v8 when it comes out buy if they cant keep the weight the same as the v6 then i dont know
I’m getting my Raptor this year even if I have to rob and steal for it Lol 😂 just playing but my dream truck wish I could get one 😔😔
Just make a down payment and drive it until they take it back lol
Fantastic
Off
Road

Another great review Steve. Question, would you buy this over a 4Runner TRD Pro?
Oh my gosh, yes. No comparison.
For that price you ought to get platinum, gold and silver filigree... and some skid plates for the exhaust tips.
You get the best suspension but your idea sounds nice too
For a few minutes I didn't even realise he was talking, the truck got me mesmerised on the thought of sitting behind the wheel 😟😦
It's a dream truck.
Outstanding review Steve great truck in my opinion but at that level gas mileage will be the last thing on my mind😀
Thanks, Bryant!
E linda de mais Ford
GOAT Truck
Personally, I like the V8, the 5.2 found in the Shelby would make for a perfect balance. I had a new 1st generation 2013 6.2 & was truly impressed. I test drove a new 19 recently & just can't take a liking to the eco boost V6. Great motor yet kept me from buying one. Just my preference.
The Voodoo 5.2 would be a horrible truck engine. No power until 3,500 RPM....
Another great review Steve! the price is high, I'd definitely get a Limited instead! I heard you can't lease a Raptor? So that would be even more of a motivating factor on the limited for me. The interior of this Raptor is cool, but i'd hardly call it "spectacular". the suede on the seats reminds me of an old beat up recliner chair.. They need to offer a perforated or quilted leather like they have on previous high trim fords, or take some notes from the newest Audi "S" products.. It's a nice truck but If I had 70k cash I wouldn't spend it here. If I could lease one reasonably I probably would, just to see what it's all about. Thanks again for the second take on the Raptor!
JakeDrives a limited I’d just as much if not even MORE than a raptor, and the raptor will perfectly hold its value while a limited would plummet in price quicker than you can imagine.
@@jaredchampagne2752 Did you miss the entire post where I elaborated about how I lease my vehicles. Also, how the limited is more my taste, due to the luxury features? Yea.. I pretty much thought so. I know what both trucks cost. I also know what I want.
If Batman drove a truck it would definitely be a Raptor.
Webster Slaughter
Batman would have a Raptor ? Nah if so there would be a lot of Batmans out there. They would be passed fast by trucks built by others like me. Even by some that look like Raptors hearing their stereos like this....ua-cam.com/video/D4lSk48-_0o/v-deo.html OR others without the Raptor look like this .. ua-cam.com/video/OIYPKwUbzNE/v-deo.html and this..ua-cam.com/video/2wz1-tXA88o/v-deo.html
How do you feel now Batman? Like Scatman I imagine.
@@brianbirc ua-cam.com/video/-N4f4sR_QpY/v-deo.html
I'm just curious about long time durability of these new shocks.
My Road Toursafter they break, just get the 2017 and 2018 normal blue shocks.
great voice
Any news on the Raptor for next year with aV8 and 7liter.
Calvin Ellis I seriously doubt they would put the 7.3 in the raptor, it is so much heavier than the current platform. Maybe the GT500 engine? 2021 with the updated F150 perhaps
The owner of my gym has a Raptor himself. I question the practicality when he got it (He has 2 young kids.); his previous vehicle is a previous generation Nissan Armada. He says that his Raptor gets better fuel mileage than his old Armada.
Oh, I believe that! That 5.6 is thirsty.
Even the current 5.6L V8 for Nissan is a big gulper. It can’t get past 15 mpg...
Let’s watch eco boost raptor value drop when ford comes to their senses, listens to the market, and puts a v8 back in this great looking truck
jeff revill Lol here we go again .... just to remind you Ford doesn’t make a V8 that performs nearly as well as the Raptors V6... and because the Raptor is a half ton it’s fuel economy on paper matters to Ford ,it has to get decent mileage on the EPA test loops so Ford can get the proper EPA credits .I love the V8 sound but I don’t see one in the Raptors future,and now that the 7.3 V8 is out it’s apparent that it is a workhorse engine not a performance engine ...even less likely..
jeff revill yeah, hope you pay 90k for the v8 👍👍👍
John DiMartino thank god somebody understands that! That is exactly right.
I paid less for my 766whp raptor than a new one costs. 90k for v8? Pfff
Will be interesting to see if they wanna match that dodge thing that is coming out. If so it would have to be the GT500 engine. I’m sure that would make the price jump up to nearly 90k... would be a shame. Would love to see Ford have a couple of engine choices for the Raptor
I disagree with the on road handling. I test drove multiple 2018 Raptors before buying the new 2019. The older Fox suspension system was spongelike and had a tendency to roll in tight turns. The new suspension corrects that, and it handles much better. As for the acceleration, the peak performance acceleration comes when you put the Raptor in Baja mode. You launch like a bat out of hell in 4H and no traction control.
Yeah, but the ride QUALITY is most definitely worse now.
Ken I agree with you. The 19 rides much more in control on the road versus the 18. Way less roll and more planted in corners.
I don't like trucks. For the Raptor, I'll make an exception.
buoyant69 you don’t like them or you don’t need them? There’s a difference lol just curious
Over MSRP
Both. Whatever I need a larger vehicle for (limited towing, room) can be accomplished by a crossover or SUV (which drive and look better than trucks IMO). That said, I much prefer driving my 2017 Accord with a 6 spd manual than I do my current crossover.
This Raptor looks much better than the average truck, however, and would probably be a blast to drive (in a way my crossover isn’t).
@@buoyant69 this truck does all that and flies... I do more flying than towing on my drift track
F-150 with a N/A Coyote V8 would be my choice.
Why V8??
I really wanna buy it this year but I heard the 2020 will have V8 engine, is that true?
to be honest i think it will have the v8 BUT the v6 will be standard and the v8 will be an option and prepare to pay alot for that option
Joe N get the v6 cause you’ll regret getting the v8.
@@invasion1824 why you say that?
Video with Ford Ranger Raptor?? Is it Possible??
Not in the USA, sadly.
This is nice truck ... for sure... great review.. big hp for that v6... 👌..and at this level of your complaining about mpg.. your in the wrong choice of vehicle... nice work by ford though
Adrian Harvey One of the main reasons I got the 2019 Raptor was because it has better mpg than the previous gen and it’s faster. That is awesome.
I juss seen what was sed Steve hammes I didn’t mean the comment of complaining about mpg as to say u was complaining.. I was referring to people who complain about mpg all the time...
Adrian Harvey I know what you meant. I agree. Mpg on this truck is still shit. But for me, one of the major reasons I like it over previous gen is that it is faster and gets better mpg. Comes at a cost though. The nice sound of a v8. But I’ll take better performance plus better mpg any day.
Just got a 2019 rocky ridge stealth raptor. $ 117,000 ouch !!!!
dang!!! What makes it "stealth" vs. a regular Raptor?
Flat black denim paint ,trim, bells/whistles.
wow...congratz man!! I am sure its amazing. Drive it like you stole it
Frickin LOVE it !!
With this on the market how does Chrysler sell any jeeps?!
Shorter wheelbase.
And less expensive, by a lot.
Sorry but a Raptor is Not a Jeep! I love Raptors and hope to get one soon, but it’s not made for the same thing.
0-60 in the mid 4's? I don't think so.
Yea, it’s more like low 5’s stock. Definitely mid 4’s with a tune though
*DO NOT WATCH* this video if you're gonna whine about gas mileage ! Go buy a Prius and be on your way .
Albeit the crazy price , I LOVE these trucks . Grand-slam by Ford !
Waiting for 7.3 litre v8 Godzilla v6 just sounds wrong sorry .
U ok Tom? Seriously...ur last video and reply to my comments worry me
AOK! Thanks for checking!
The Seats were done by the"Pimp my Ride" Crew.. Wtf !!! Cheap..72k is for the new shocks??
LOL ish did his thing on those seats for sure
This is what I mean. You are showing one of the most outfitted versions of this truck that drives the price to rediculous level. And that is the truck you decided to review. You are talking like this the only way the truck is configured for resale. You stated, it comes with these Ricarro seats. No it doesn't. That is an option. So I don't understand. Why can't we see a review for the cheaper versions? So it makes me think you paid by Ford and therefore only showing their high end versions. There are currently three 2019s available for less than $60k. So why did you say this truck has a price tag of what, $75K? That is only for the high end versions of this truck. Do you just sell these cars or what?
You review what the OEM provides in the press fleet. And no; none of the info I provided is misleading at all. I always detail the specific trim I am driving.
72k !!!!!! wtf. Hell No
...is it a FORD F150 RAPTOR or a FORD RANGER RAPTOR?....🤔🤔🤔😤😤😤
F150. The Ranger Raptor is smaller
71k is a no go for a Ford
Miguel Ircontar then go buy a tundra that is nowhere near this level.
What's ironic is that the Raptor has one of the highest resale values of any vehicle. And last time I checked it has one of the lowest days on lot time too.
Gavina Reyes Considering that the 2017 went for around $65-70k MSRP, it will hold onto its value pretty well.
