Good review mate. I currently own the first gen but have driven the gen 2. I personally didnt see enough difference to make me want to change. The new tech stuff is amazing, but I personally find it a little annoying and prefer the physical buttons on the gen 1. I also prefer the gen 1 seats as I'm a slimmer guy and the bigger bolsters hold me better. The gen 2 ride with the live valve is definitely firmer than the gen 1, but it makes it a more stable platform on road, so I see why they went that way. The biggest thing though is that gen 2 motor. The first gen shouldve had that motor and I'm feeling severely horsepower deficient since driving the new one.
Same logo ??? I have drawn my logo from scratch. Just checked out his channel, I have had mine way longer than him based on his videos. No doubt he’s copied mine.
F150 Raptor owner here. Be glad you don’t have the panoramic sunroof. They creek, pop, and the plastic tracks break - a liability when off-roading. The raptors here in the US without sunroofs are unicorns that are highly sought after.
I agree with you a 100% there should be air condition seats the caribbean and areas with hot weather needs air cooled seats , I am a ford truck owner but your review is spot on.. Thats alot of monies for not having the comfort of air in your seats...
Great video mate keep up the content. Love mine but I had a top end fail at 500kms on the first one. Dealer was awesome about it and replaced the entire truck straight away, so shout out to torque ford they didn't cause the problem, but they fixed it straight away. Things a weapon!.
Haven't seen mine for 3 weeks. Powertrain malfunction. Made an awful noise when taking off in drive. Locked itself in 4H and was clunking and grinding and come to a stop before I could even stop. If mine needs replacing I wonder who pays for the mods I've done on mine eg, Herrod pack and other stuff. Never been in this position before with a car.
@@rebelrob9637Better hope they don’t try and void your warranty for all the mods, YES I’ve seen it happen, that’s why I don’t mod my new Colorado Trail Boss! Im scared too 😂
@jimmycline4778 I was worried about that. They were fine this time. Took a while but they gave me a loan car for the whole time and did all the repairs under warranty. The transfer case needed replacing. Hope there isn't a next time.
@@jimmycline4778yeah I’ve kept it small with making any changes with mine as well! Only things like some tint, bed cover and storage. Once you go for that fully loaded truck there isn’t much of a reason to do many modifications😅 just lots of fun messing around with the Auxiliaries
Ive owned both gens from new. I had to check hiw many Kms Ive done when you said you are on 19k....20,081 km. Its my daily. Ive jumped it, rock crawled, mud holes, you name it...absolutely bullet proof! Love the addtion of front dif lock as well as all the aux swithes and air compressor, but agree, Ford could have done a bit more...not major things, its the little things like the step for the tub, better seal for the tub and factory fitted optional biger wheel/tyer. Not too fussed about the sunroof. I get the rigidity for jumping, hence no sunroof. AC through the seats would be nice too. Another thing the wildtrack has is a place for a second battery in the engine bay. Other than that...a V8 option could be a Ranger Raptor R model
herrod performance bro, full performance upgrade, remap, trans cooler, intercooler under 6k, all under factory warranty and herrod performance warranty
Yep working on it mate ! I have had a lot of investments going on in my personal life so funds have been tight. Every mod on the Raptor has been sponsored so far by companies I wanted to run. If Herrod wanted to sponsor the build, id be down there already producing a video for them. Unfortunately il need to get the coin together for this mod so it delays it.
@@JamieWilliams-j9z will tuning the engine void fords warranty?i know the ranger can push upwards of 450hp with out any problems would be awesome,earlyer at some point was torn between the ineo granadier and this awesome truck but i no longer have any doubt about this beaut nothing riavals it, goodwill to you all.
V8s are overrated???, man this is a stupid statement, the performance potential from a V8 is huge & they don’t sound like a busted fart. A coyote with a nice little blower pumping out around 400- 450 kws would have me sold.
A v8 in this wouldnt be great as weight and to get the horse power you will need to spend near 20k to fit a blower . V8 is just noise, dont get me wrong i love v8s but performance suck unless a lot of money spend where these come with turbochargers and kick ass, i bet you have a v8 but get beaten but people all the time in races.
The Ford Ranger Raptor & Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 are the best mid size trucks on the market … nothing is even close to them. Toyota Tacoma is a distant 3rd & then Nissan Frontier. Toyota does benefit from a large following & the cookie cutter no frills approach makes sense. If basic A to B transport is your thing, then a boring Toyota is your ticket.
Hey Ty love your channel just have a question. Can you put Baha exhaust mode on in 2WD. I just got my 2024 Raptor so still trying to figure it out. Cheers 👍
I actually found the system to be a little lacklustre. The sound clarity is great. But found it doesn’t go that loud. Hit 30 and kinda felt like “is that it”. But I love my raptor 😂
@@TyFenwick for those after work rock days letting some frustrations out. Lol I still do like it though oddly.. the sound is clear I guess so maybe it sacrifices it
nice to see mate, as for ford performance stuff , they have the same engine setup in the usa in the bronco raptor , whipple do a intercooler upgrade same as herrod, i have a fenix intercooler and a wholesale automatic trans cooler , also check out the jb4 bronco raptor upgrade out of the usa
Great vid mate. My raptor is 7 months old. About 3 months in I started hearing a rattle coming from the exhaust on cold starts. Lasting about 20secs until the idle drops. I flagged it with Ford and they told me it was a “characteristic of the car”. The rattle got worse to the point you could hear it driving around town. I took it back and they now agreed that it doesn’t sound normal. They just replaced the muffler today and it’s back sounding like the day I got it. No rattle what so ever. They also had me sit in another raptor that they had on the lot to show me that it also has a rattle when starting it cold. I’m kinda feeling like I’ll be back in a few months with the same issue. Curious to know if anyone else has had this same problem with an exhaust rattle?
Hi mate. So all was great for a couple of months.. But now the rattle is back the same as before unfortunately. It started off faint but it’s now obvious again for the first 20secs or so on a cold start just like before. I’ll be taking it back to them again as soon as I get time. I don’t know a great deal about mufflers but apparently these have some kind of valve inside (possibly on a hinge) that opens and shuts and that is what’s failing and causing a rattle during a cold idle?! Pretty disappointing really. Not to mention Apple Car Play only working 50% of the time. I’m told all ford customers are experiencing this? I’ve also got some rust on a canopy fitting that I’ll be showing them.. I do love my raptor believe it or not im just a bit bummed about these issues. Hopefully it can all get sorted
As someone from Miami, Florida I 100% agree that no ventilated / cooled seats is such a miss play from ford, the seats on the Platinum look soooo much nicer than whats on the Raptor. Would be allover the raptor if they didnt overlook the ventilated seats
Great vidoe mate. With mine i am sitting at the 145k mark now and my hate is now the weight i added but this was reason to do get the bpt performance done witch i jave and its a animal again as helped with temps and transmission shifting is now smoother with better cooling and extra 2 litre of oil. But main hates i hated they have been fixed with accessories but tub sealing i have started on but haven't achieved yet.
Well at least 90% of your hates are just things that you wish it had rather than things that are on the vehicle that you hate. Must mean it's a pretty good ute.'
Mines at 30,000km, no issues with it at all, agree with pretty much all your loves and hates, filthy we don’t get the ventilated seats 🫠 also have a MY22 so hoping we get the update for the dash soon
i agree when i get mine i'm taking itinto deathvalley when the world record temp will be broken, ac seats would be nice i predict in the next 5 years it'll hit 135 degrees there as cali goes into another superdrought, overall that ranger is a badass truck certainly the best in the midsize class
@@TyFenwick I get that. Glad to see you want more, I’m sure Ford listen to these critiques though some just come down to the lack of packaging space. Thanks for your video. 👍
It’s definitely the best Ute on the market so glad the diesel wasn’t put in it I tow with mine every day and it doesn’t struggle what do ever I just need to put some heavy coils in the rear!
Still waiting for the 2 door space cab with suicide doors, it will look like a proper baja racer then and I’d be interested. Plus I would like to see an alloy tray back Ford!!!
@TyFenwick I've noticed ya selling some stuff on market place. Looking forward to the new set up. Hey just a question, I want a canopy but I also want to stay under 4500kg because something fell off my exhaust (😉) if I go above, I'll have to do yearly inspections? How'd ya go with this mate?
Tossing up on this and an old gen raptor, is it that much better ? Daily driving long KMS, is the V6 that bad in fuel? Obviously a much more capable engine but hmmmmm I’m not sure
Mine is having powertrain issues. Been at ford for 3 weeks now. Might have bad trans or diff. They gave me a new wildtrak in the meantime and it's nice for a daily driver. They told me they will have the car for a while but they are keeping quiet on what's really wrong wuth it at the moment for some reason.
Owned a Raptor for just over 1 month, love it, agree with your opinion of like and dislikes, one other thing would have been nice is a head up display .
Good video Ty. I put a ARB hard lid the aluminium type on the tub and had ARB mount a dual compressor and tank in the left hand rear quarter. I think it’s the most exciting dual cab on the market 👍🏼
Soy de México y estoy a unos dias de que me entreguen mi nueva Ranger Raptor negra. Excelente video. Estoy ansioso por decir las mismas palabras que usas. Que es un excelente vehiculo. Saludos
Glad I watched I wasn’t going to because it was about the raptor & I can’t get one even though there the best Ute because I’m driving around Oz towing a 2 Ton caravan & need diesel I have a 2021 ranger 2. L bi-turbo with a tray & toolbox & was thinking of up grading to a Sport with tub then U were talking about the tub issues with dust & that got me thinking me as I had a tub before & sealed it with expanding foam & fitted a rear dust seal kit took me all day & a lot of mess but dust still got in also U said no A/C seats this is another huge problem for the cost involved with these vehicles I looked @ the Everest has the ventilated / heated seats so might look @ it as there be no problem with dust with it keep up the great info 👍😎
The Ranger Raptor should have driver memory seating. "Memory seats feature a memory function that allows you to adjust your seat’s position in your car with the click of a button". I will not buy a Raptor untill the Raptor has memory seating>
Hello from Southern California!!! Watched and liked all your Ranger Raptor videos. Great logical, down-to-earth, commentary. I love our US version of the '24 RR. Thanks for mentioning the rear seat room. It's my major concern. My girls are 10 & 14, so we'll have to check how the back seats work for them. My I ask how tall are you? I'm 5'9"(175.26cm). Want 24 RR, but wife would frown on having to fold the girls in half every time we all climb in.!!😂
Hey mate ! Thanks for watching. My daughter is 12 and she fit in fine, I’d say if you have 6ft blokes in front and back it’s going to be tight 😂👍🏼 I’m 5,11
I got the 24 raptor on order and the dealer marked it up 9k and I could just get a 23 tremor with everything for the same cost would you say that I should stick with the ranger raptor or go with a fully loaded 23 f150 tremor?
My wife got hers 2024 RR about 3 weeks ago. (shelter green). It’s 405hp. My question is, is your engine governed to a different hp than here in the states?
Brother….i have liked and subscribed to your channel here from USA. I believe we’ve chatted through comments. I want to add eibachs and 35’s on 17x9 -15 beadlocks. And we don’t have Herrod…but Hennessey has got a 500hp tune with warranty will do for me!
Love it! Just wish I could get it with the optional fold out flat work surface of the front center console available in the F150's. I agree about the 35's.
I need some advice, I bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor from Ford Dubai with 10k Km, it seems the leather steering wheel is always sticky in my hands, not sure what to use to get this issue sorted.
An Honest review My last Ford was in 1997, a top line Fairlane. As you I loved the car for its ergos 18:17 and driveability. But it was a warranty build disaster. The day after warranty finished with still issues Ford dropped me like a hot cake. Thinking about it in the years following I have spent over $500,000 towards other brands. I am about to buy an American tow vehicle. I thought about the ,F series Ford. My heart said yes but my head said NO I have decided on a Dodge Ram Laramie 2500 Cummins.
If that's your experience mate that sucks. However in the American truck market the F-series should be your only choice in my opinion. I've spent a lot of years in the US and F-series is top of the bunch.
Im supposed to get mine within the next 3 weeks...i cant wait...im in central canada and want the heated steering wheel the most haha...been getting diffrent ideas from different reviews...very good review 👌
just watched your video thanks. Noticed that you left out how you modified the hood assist lift instead of the manual strut. Could you make a video on how and what parts you used. Thanks from up over
Mine is now 11.5 months with just over 18'000km and still loving it. Only gripe that you mentioned that I agree with is the tub that is not dust prove. The rest does no really bother me. I see you don't have the 230v Power outlet in the back like mine has. Not that it is that useful as it is only 450w, but atleast you can charge some batteries and stuff while driving.
Yeah it’s just when a lot of cars are coming at you it drops the high beam and wigs out a bit. But then people think your flashing them with your high beam lights 😂
Gday Ty noticed you have installed the arb fridge slide … did it fit ok in the tub with the alignment of the ribs in the bed ?? And what actual size is it cheers 👍🏻 great looking truck
Hi mate, it’s the slide for the elements fridge I think they only make one for that fridge. I’ve got more coming in tub fit out videos,keep eye on the channel.
I'm waiting for my Ranger Raptor to finish being build here in America... where can i get that aftermarket intake it looks exactly like i want and no American brands have even started making parts yet
Nice honest video mate! I have to agree with the seats, they look mint but on long drives I feel like I can never get comfy in them and tend to get a sore lower back... Its almost like they need an additional memory foam/comfort layer.
Can your review the suspension properly? is it soft at low speed off road? or just high speed? how does it behave on broken pavement or small imperfections on the road? is the ride better with the 35 inch tires?
Ford range is really killing it.i was looking at the raptor but decided to buy the wildtrack x instead. I just wanted something a little less thirsty as a daily and the fact raptor can only tow 2500kg if it was 3500kg towing would have bought it. Im very happy with mine, but I still wonder if i should have gone the raptor when i put the foot down, lol.
Yeah I’m sure there’s a bunch of pros and cons towards anything. I guess my point is just coming from a safety aspect what could be done if you want to drive it hard and fast on a track. What could ford do to make it safer ? Bolt in Ford Performance cage ? Ie harnesses etc.
..absolute nit-picking. Had trucks my whole life without box steps, sunroofs, ac seats, sealed tubs, usb ports, and now all these are apparent reasons to Hate the truck. And don't stretch the thing anymore, its already too long.
Hate all my AC seats, they are just too loud. 100% agree that Ford Performance should be more involved in the upgrades especially for factory warranty issues. Miss my Gen 3 Raptor, Love my F250 Full Carli Build, looking hard at the Raptor Ranger.
Instant respect. A REAL review of the Ranger Raptor from someone who actually lived with the truck. Great job
Thanks for watching !!!
.. 'instant respect'... lol
Good review mate. I currently own the first gen but have driven the gen 2. I personally didnt see enough difference to make me want to change. The new tech stuff is amazing, but I personally find it a little annoying and prefer the physical buttons on the gen 1. I also prefer the gen 1 seats as I'm a slimmer guy and the bigger bolsters hold me better. The gen 2 ride with the live valve is definitely firmer than the gen 1, but it makes it a more stable platform on road, so I see why they went that way. The biggest thing though is that gen 2 motor. The first gen shouldve had that motor and I'm feeling severely horsepower deficient since driving the new one.
The Gen 1 is still a great vehicle. One gets used to the power and not so much to the fuel consumption...
Excellent review 👍❤️🇬🇧
Do they have ranger raptor in the US or just th f150 raptor?
Yes just launched last week in US
You and Highpeak Autos have used the same $50 logo 😅
Same logo ??? I have drawn my logo from scratch. Just checked out his channel, I have had mine way longer than him based on his videos. No doubt he’s copied mine.
It’s such a mess under the bonnet
Could be cleaner I agree !
F150 Raptor owner here. Be glad you don’t have the panoramic sunroof. They creek, pop, and the plastic tracks break - a liability when off-roading. The raptors here in the US without sunroofs are unicorns that are highly sought after.
Wow mate thanks for giving us the heads up ! Maybe we don’t want that then 😂👍🏼
They need a lesson from Hyundai and KIA. Their full moon roofs are quiet as
@@joshowens2062yea but those Kia and Hyundai vehicles aren’t going off road doing jumps.
It would also make your car heavier and louder. Did you consider sound deadening? 120km/h+ you hear the wind noise too much unfortunately @@TyFenwick
Love mine personally. Lived many years before having a Colorado with a basic roof and I think I’ll take my raptors panoramic any day
I agree with you a 100% there should be air condition seats the caribbean and areas with hot weather needs air cooled seats ,

@sultankuto8724 sure is avoid but herrod say these is backed but i am sure ford will back out of it.
Ford have specifically given herrod access to the ecu for the tune. My understanding is its backed by the factory warranty.

They did build one. Demand would see it hit show rooms ! I think it would sell so well 👊🏼

Try 200
Time will tell
40000km
Never a days issue. Longest roadtrip was 4500km
I had a laugh, the day I drove one I also ordered one the same day
I think I still had the helmet on when I tried to call the dealership 📞
Would you trade your rear air vents in for the rear window?.. US models don’t have cold air at the back.
If it was not for those, my wife would have not let us get a Raptor again, as the Gen1 did not have those...🤣

The recaro seats out of an f150 Raptor (blue alcantara) or from the R (grey Alcantara recaro) would be sweet to try and fit….and have a/c option.
Good video Ty. I put a ARB hard lid the aluminium type on the tub and had ARB mount a dual compressor and tank in the left hand rear quarter. I think it’s the most exciting dual cab on the market 👍🏼
I'm looking forward to putting in the ARB compressor mate .
I have diesel Raptor and I really love that car😊
Thanks for watching
What's your wheel offset and any suspension mods?
Check out my channel mate. Loads of raptor mod videos there 👍🏼
You had some good suggestions. I have never liked Fords, but I would really like to get the new Ranger Raptor.
Soy de México y estoy a unos dias de que me entreguen mi nueva Ranger Raptor negra. Excelente video. Estoy ansioso por decir las mismas palabras que usas. Que es un excelente vehiculo. Saludos
Glad I watched I wasn’t going to because it was about the raptor & I can’t get one even though there the best Ute because I’m driving around Oz towing a 2 Ton caravan & need diesel I have a 2021 ranger 2. L bi-turbo with a tray & toolbox & was thinking of up grading to a Sport with tub then U were talking about the tub issues with dust & that got me thinking me as I had a tub before & sealed it with expanding foam & fitted a rear dust seal kit took me all day & a lot of mess but dust still got in also U said no A/C seats this is another huge problem for the cost involved with these vehicles I looked @ the Everest has the ventilated / heated seats so might look @ it as there be no problem with dust with it keep up the great info 👍😎
The Ranger Raptor should have driver memory seating. "Memory seats feature a memory function that allows you to adjust your seat’s position in your car with the click of a button". I will not buy a Raptor untill the Raptor has memory seating>
True it should have that ! I’m only one that drives mine so doesn’t worry me.
Hello from Southern California!!!
Watched and liked all your Ranger Raptor videos. Great logical, down-to-earth, commentary.
I love our US version of the '24 RR.
Thanks for mentioning the rear seat room. It's my major concern. My girls are 10 & 14, so we'll have to check how the back seats work for them.
My I ask how tall are you? I'm 5'9"(175.26cm).
Want 24 RR, but wife would frown on having to fold the girls in half every time we all climb in.!!😂
Hey mate !
Thanks for watching. My daughter is 12 and she fit in fine, I’d say if you have 6ft blokes in front and back it’s going to be tight 😂👍🏼
I’m 5,11
I got the 24 raptor on order and the dealer marked it up 9k and I could just get a 23 tremor with everything for the same cost would you say that I should stick with the ranger raptor or go with a fully loaded 23 f150 tremor?
The Colorado ZR2 still looks better, every new Raptor Ranger I’ve seen has extremely rusty drive shafts and other suspension parts!
Australia has all coated drive shafts. Not sure why US doesn’t, but if I $5 can of black paint could fix that.
AC seats would be good
Haha I like that you’ve built jumps on driveway
My wife got hers 2024 RR about 3 weeks ago. (shelter green). It’s 405hp. My question is, is your engine governed to a different hp than here in the states?
I think our HP in Australia was 396 from memory.
Brother….i have liked and subscribed to your channel here from USA. I believe we’ve chatted through comments. I want to add eibachs and 35’s on 17x9 -15 beadlocks. And we don’t have Herrod…but Hennessey has got a 500hp tune with warranty will do for me!
Thanks so much for watching mate !
This is a great review! Actually used and thorough pros and cons. Thanks! Great truck despite the cons
Thanks for watching 😎👍🏼
Love it! Just wish I could get it with the optional fold out flat work surface of the front center console available in the F150's. I agree about the 35's.
What brand spoties did you install on the front grill? Is the grill custom made or did you purchase a new front grill. Awesome rig dude!
Check out my channel mate, I have a video on there with Lazer lamp lights and other mods I’ve done to the Raptor 👍🏼
will those front shock perch risers fit US spec? great video, got mine on order. We are waiting patiently for them to become available.
I’m sure the shocks will be the same. Would need to check once they hit dealerships
I need some advice, I bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor from Ford Dubai with 10k Km, it seems the leather steering wheel is always sticky in my hands, not sure what to use to get this issue sorted.
I have same issue. Also in Dubai. I'm thinking of changing the leather on the steering wheel to aftermarket. I guess leather quality is not great
I wish I could afford one so I could see if I hated it😅
Twin turbo/supercharged V8?
An Honest review
My last Ford was in 1997, a top line Fairlane. As you I loved the car for its ergos 18:17 and driveability. But it was a warranty build disaster. The day after warranty finished with still issues Ford dropped me like a hot cake.
Thinking about it in the years following I have spent over $500,000 towards other brands.
I am about to buy an American tow vehicle. I thought about the ,F series Ford. My heart said yes but my head said NO
I have decided on a Dodge Ram Laramie 2500 Cummins.
If that's your experience mate that sucks. However in the American truck market the F-series should be your only choice in my opinion. I've spent a lot of years in the US and F-series is top of the bunch.
Im supposed to get mine within the next 3 weeks...i cant wait...im in central canada and want the heated steering wheel the most haha...been getting diffrent ideas from different reviews...very good review 👌
Thanks for watching mate ! Share with your friends
just watched your video thanks. Noticed that you left out how you modified the hood assist lift instead of the manual strut. Could you make a video on how and what parts you used. Thanks from up over
Check out my channel mate, all those videos are on there.
Mine is now 11.5 months with just over 18'000km and still loving it. Only gripe that you mentioned that I agree with is the tub that is not dust prove. The rest does no really bother me. I see you don't have the 230v Power outlet in the back like mine has. Not that it is that useful as it is only 450w, but atleast you can charge some batteries and stuff while driving.
Trust me I was trying so hard to think of things I didn’t like 😂 I love this vehicle !
Excellent review mate, now i know it s not for me at all
US hear Gen3 Raptor. The auto beams work great here so suprised it doesn't work as well.
Yeah it’s just when a lot of cars are coming at you it drops the high beam and wigs out a bit. But then people think your flashing them with your high beam lights 😂
As an owner myself, great review. Nice 35’s.
Are those the Toyo Open Country RT Trails? If so that’s what I got on my Silverado. Absolutely in love those tires!
Na these are the MTs mate 👍🏼
Please tell me what kind of lights ( BRAND NAME )are on the front bumper below Ford Emblem
Lazer lamps
Awesome review man, loved it! Where did you get your car mats from?
Hey mate !
Thanks for watching, they are from 3D MAXTRAC FLOOR MATS 👍🏼
Seat belt harnesses😂 its no trophy truck bud
Neither is a F1 car but they bloody help when you're going upside down "bud".
Gday Ty noticed you have installed the arb fridge slide … did it fit ok in the tub with the alignment of the ribs in the bed ?? And what actual size is it cheers 👍🏻 great looking truck
Hi mate, it’s the slide for the elements fridge I think they only make one for that fridge. I’ve got more coming in tub fit out videos,keep eye on the channel.
@@TyFenwick ok mate thanks for the reply good content the videos you’ve been putting out on the raptor keep em comin👌🏻
I'm waiting for my Ranger Raptor to finish being build here in America... where can i get that aftermarket intake it looks exactly like i want and no American brands have even started making parts yet
Check out my channel for all Raptor mod videos and information
Fabulous fabrications have full intakes and snorkels.
Hey Ty! Love all ya Raptor content mate. Can I ask what ditch lights and brackets you’re running? Cheers man
GMF brackets with Lazer lamp lights
Nice honest video mate! I have to agree with the seats, they look mint but on long drives I feel like I can never get comfy in them and tend to get a sore lower back... Its almost like they need an additional memory foam/comfort layer.
Yeah 100% the seats look awesome but are not as comfortable as old gen 1 seats 💺 👍🏼
cool video man did the fuel guage and new tank ever sort its self out?
Need to wait for a Ford update. Gauge works but DTE only goes up to 580ks range.
Thanks for reply man all the best from ireland@@TyFenwick
@@TyFenwick 580ks? My tank doesn’t last that long with my heavy foot;)
Not having ventilated seats is lame
V8 5.0 would have me sold.
you can get a herrod upgrade done to the engine that is covered by ford
We are planning on it !
Great Reveiw with some really great points. I couldn't dissagree with anything you mentioned.
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Great clip mate and a fantastic truck I would love one myself 👍👍
Thanks for watching Steve !
There is a mob that offers warranty upgrades for the raptor. Lot more power and supporting mods with warranty for 6k or so.
Herrod performance
Herrod 👍🏼
Can your review the suspension properly? is it soft at low speed off road? or just high speed? how does it behave on broken pavement or small imperfections on the road? is the ride better with the 35 inch tires?
Can you just add the seats from the platinum in as an aftermarket mod?
Might be able to not sure
The low towing capacity is an issue for me.
Might need to step up to the f150 raptor for more towing capacity
Ford range is really killing it.i was looking at the raptor but decided to buy the wildtrack x instead. I just wanted something a little less thirsty as a daily and the fact raptor can only tow 2500kg if it was 3500kg towing would have bought it. Im very happy with mine, but I still wonder if i should have gone the raptor when i put the foot down, lol.
Instead of 35's can i put 34's??
Yes I recommend 34s or 315 👍🏼
The issue with harnesses without a cage, in the event of a rollover and the roof caves in, you are stuck in position and cant move with the roof.
Yeah I’m sure there’s a bunch of pros and cons towards anything. I guess my point is just coming from a safety aspect what could be done if you want to drive it hard and fast on a track. What could ford do to make it safer ? Bolt in Ford Performance cage ? Ie harnesses etc.
@TyFenwick bro I would order 1 tomorrow if they were options.
..absolute nit-picking. Had trucks my whole life without box steps, sunroofs, ac seats, sealed tubs, usb ports, and now all these are apparent reasons to Hate the truck. And don't stretch the thing anymore, its already too long.
😂 don’t be to sensitive right now. Most of the “hates” are just future improvements. Take a deep breath Craig it’s all ok.
@@TyFenwick.. don't be so sensitive says a guy that needs a sunroof. Put one in yourself if you need to lower the headroom a couple more inches.
The Ranger can't tow as much as the Hilux, is definitely more comfortable but I use my ute for work and play. Im keeping my Rouge for now.
Another awesome video mate, looking forward to watching the future mods on the raptor 🍻🍻
Thanks for watching !
Hate all my AC seats, they are just too loud. 100% agree that Ford Performance should be more involved in the upgrades especially for factory warranty issues. Miss my Gen 3 Raptor, Love my F250 Full Carli Build, looking hard at the Raptor Ranger.
