Gen 1 engine, Gen 2 exterior and gen 3 interior please!
Winner winner 🐔 dinner!
Damn!! Exactly. That should be the Raptor R
Almost completely agree! I like the exterior of the Gen 2 much better but wouldnt mind the suspension upgrades and interior of the Gen 3.. id take the Gen 3 interior with the Gen 2 body with a Shelby F150 hood and the R engine and suspension and that would probably be my forever Truck! Probably easier just to go with a TRX thou, has the engine, suspension and interior and the exterior is better than the R and the Gen 3 but not sure i like it better than the Gen 2 Raptor only because the TRX doesn’t stabd out from the Ram Rebel all that much especially from the rear door back. They should had made the rear 1/4 panels and back end more aggressive as should Ford with the R. Its hard to pay that much more for an R when essentially the only thing that makes it stand out from the eco boost are a few stickers. So much so that if i got a Raptor R id probably debage it and maybe even stick the eco boost badges on it just to mess with peoples heads!
I’ve had a gen 1, gen 2, and now TRX. I still like my Gen 1 the best. Not sure if it’s nostalgia, or how different it was from everything else at the time.
Roar of the 6.2l
Honestly the gen 1 is not a bad platform I have one myself and only have a tune/ intake and smoke gen 2s all day long it really wakes up that lazy 6.2!
Went back to a gen 1 lol. Same. Love them.
Raptor R would be interesting
@@ChokolateSushi23 that price tag is too😔
They’ve all got their strengths..first gen has the bulletproof 6.2, second gen looks the most aggressive by far, third gen has all the tech and is fastest. They’re all awesome though.
Precisely!
Lol The 6.2 isnt bulletproof, ive done plenty of broken valve springs on them.
@@1FiftyOverland long tern them hold up better at least in the vans
First Gen raptor had a 5.4 second was the 6.2l
@@-trmxzer0-235 No that's not true. The 2010 had the 5.4 as standard but the 6.2 was an option, 2011 onwards it was 6.2 as standard. You could only get the 5.4 in the 2010. The second gen raptor had the 3.5 only. The third gen has 3.5 and now the 5.2 option with the R.
Those Toyo MTs on the Gen 2 are 18lbs per tire heavier than the stock KO2s. There’s your difference.
This
😂 that was great! As a Gen 1 owner I am stoked to see them anytime, but I knew the Gen 3 was going to come out on the top end of that race as the ultimate winner. But that's ok, I don't have anything to prove with my SVT, and my V8 gets me where I'm going with 15.8 MPG's. My fuel saving sticker "Not Fast, Just Loud" saves me plenty on the highway😂
Love all the Raptors but the Gen 1 SVT will always be my favorite simply because of that beefy grill❤️🔥
Great video guys!
Amen all around! The Gen 1 in this episode is our personal Raptor. We truly love the 6.2! Also we would love to see 15.8 mpg! Thanks for watching.
I really miss the sound of my Gen 1 with the Borla catback over the sound my Gen 2 makes. The ecoboost just sounds horrible. And as far as mpg goes, I do not see any significant difference between the Gen 1 and the Gen 2 on my commute which is a mix of highway and city.
@@TexasTruckChannel
That's awesome! And I wholeheartedly agree, the 6.2 Boss V8 engines are the family sized bag of chips for sure.
I noticed when I first got my Raptor it was getting around 14.0 mpg so I checked my tire pressure and adjusted it, then my mpg went up to 14.8-14.9 mpg, so since I was running the tires more soft I adjusted it a bit further and made it more firm, @ 60-65 psi and my fuel economy started going to 15.0, then as it climbed up the numbers I was able to level it out at 15.8 where it stopped. I drove the truck consistently for 8 days on highway mostly, and very little stop and start. I'm happy just having 15 mpg, let alone 15.8. But I'm going to adjust the psi down slightly and see what happens between 56-60 psi just so I don't cause issues with my tires. They are the KO2 BFG tires but I still don't want to take a chance on popping any.
It's all stock and I drive it like I do any of my V6 cars, between 55-60 mph.
Again, that fuel saving sticker does help a bit, people know I'm doing the posted speed limit and that's it.
@@zachcamp9444 I'm not exactly sure which system that is on mine, but I know it's stock. The twin exhaust comes out from the side. It rumbles, my neighbor says he hears me before he sees me lol.
I know what you mean about those exhaust on the new ones, just not quite the same as the V8.
Man I wish I got 15.8 MPG on my Gen 1 😂. Running with a supercharger on mine and get about 11 MPG on a good day.
I love how the gen 2 has parts readily available to turn it into a dune blasting, no holds barred trophy truck
Goes to show that not only does the Gen 3 Raptor have a newly tuned 3.5 Ecoboost, but they have most definitely added some boost too. I would bet the Gen 3 is pushing an extra 50hp.
It certainly would not surprise us. Especially in higher gears, it is clearly limiting tq in lower gears to manage traction.
Dyno runs show the gen 3 is definitely underrated
It's hideous
G2 looks the best by far.
Agreed
Need a roll race between the three.
Is the gen 2 wider than the gen 3?
The gen 2 looks so good.👍
The gen 1 with 175000 miles wasn't far behind the new one.
That 6.2 has some grunt left.
Absolutely. We have loved it for the last 5 years.
Probably would helped too if you would’ve put it a four-wheel-drive instead of spinning the tires until the gen two was long gone how do you mess that kind of stuff up seems so simple make sure both trucks are in 4 x 4
@@mikeoverby2232because it’s not good for the drivetrain, especially on pavement, it’d nuke the transfer case
Aight folks, if you have Gen1 Raptor, you see the "OFF" button above the screen ?
Step 1: just hit it once. (you will see "Sport Mode" dialog in your wheel screen.)
Step 2: Put your gear on "M" ... (change gears with the + and -)
Step 3: Now you are ready to race.
99.9% of youtube guys that driving a Gen1 doesnt know this. 99% of Gen1 owners doesnt know this, and hell, they dont know that the Gen1 Raptor got "Boss" engine ;D.
Had a gen 1 raptor but sold it for hummer h2 sut love how different it is from every truck on the road.
Glad they improved the upper end on the Gen3. That’s one area that I’m unimpressed with on my Gen 2
Would love to see the GEN1 Roush in this car pack.
Exactly
Then the Shelby raptor... I mean
That's why the gen 3 isn't worth 100k lol I'll keep my 2
I love how the 2nd gen looks but the gen 3 interior is goated yet i can't accept the facelift no matter what
Gen 1 and Gen 3 look the most similar to me in looks. All badass trucks
Absolutely agree.
I had no doubts that the gen 3 would win everything, it's the newest top of the line tech. Unfortunately it's not a v8, ill take a gen 1 6.2 anytime..
Gen 2 got the best look of em all
Gen 1 is more reliable off road where it really counts.
That's debatable.
Wrrrrroooooong the frame is nowhere near as strong as the 3rd generation
Yeah but older parts
I doubt it, the 3.5 is rock solid by this point, and as someone else pointed out, things like the frame and suspension on the newer raptors are way stronger than the gen 1's.
Wtf lol
Just sold my 18 and got a 22.. The gen 3 shifts quicker and has better low end torque. It's a different truck hands down.
I think Ford is under-rating the new 3.5 EcoBoost, it’s def more powerful. Same with the new 5.0, they are rating it at 400 horse, only 5 Hp more than the last gen yet they hit 60 sub 6 seconds. That’s more than 400 horse at those times. I’d say the 5.0 is closer to 420 horse and the 3.5 HO is pushing upper 400’s
Thank you for making videos like this! More reviews, more friends!
if you put a exhaust and a 93 tune on a gen 1 it wakes it tf up, if you put a whipple on it then we got a monster on the loose lol
That 10 speed transmission in that gen 3 is how he reeled him. Great video. Thanks
Gen 2 has the same....
Gen 1 wins for having 175k on it and still rockin
🤘
Put a Twin Turbo and tune the 6.2 and it would merc gen 2 or 3 and it would still be half the price.
Put 6 or 700lb in the bed of the gen 2 or 3 and run it against the 6.2 again😲
Lmao, I can tell you have a gen 1 because that race is pointless besides helping a gen 1
I used to work for a Ford dealer when these first came out. The early ones came with a 5.4 ..lol those were slow
I still can't believe they did that for like 6 months. Should've just waited until the 6.2 was ready
I love the gen 2s front end, may be partial though lol all are badass
Absolutely. It’s hard to have a bad day in any of them.
6.2 is a monster for aftermarket. Yes the 3.5 makes better power but nowadays has 4 more speeds. Gearing does just as much as power. But honestly as a 3 pedal muscle car enthusiast, Id rather have a slower, robust sound v8 than a v6 vacuum cleaner.
Oh we hear you loud and clear. This is why we owned the 6.2 used in this film, and borrowed the other two.
I can't imagine how much gas you guys went through haha
Wayyyyyyy more than we care to admit.
I had a 2018 Raptor with 4.10 gears and I had installed a MPT 93 PRX tune. That tune was how the truck should come from the factory. It really wakes it up.
But now I own a 2020 Ram Limited with the weak Hemi and 3.21 gears. I got the same or a tiny bit better gas mileage with the much faster and fun Raptor than I do with this boring Ram.
Of course I can’t find a Gen 3 anywhere that isn’t asking $30,000 over sticker. So stuck with the Ram for now.
I know, gonna have to take out a loan to do a 0-60 video before long
“I did that”
@@BigMikeRobinsonFJB 🤣 yess 🤙🏽
Is it just me, I see gen 2 better looking than gen 3?
I think both of them look great. It kinda looks like gen 3 is a mix of the best elements of gen 1 and 2 with enough new elements to make it interesting.
Gen 2 is better looking. The 3 is a step BACKWARDS!
Yes, if you like your Ford Raptor to look like a Toyota Tacoma …
@@sherifsandelin That shitbox Toyota came along after the gen II Raptor was introduced.
@@sherifsandelin is that mean you agrees that 2nd look better than 3rd Gen?
If you’re in the market: get any Gen 1, and buy a blower and suspension with the money you’ll save. Plus you’ll have leafs still which means you can still do truck stuff like pulling trailers, etc. especially with aftermarket deaver springs
Right, people blowing $100k on a truck.. nuts.. the new normal tho, I guess lol
Coils are much better for offroading, so smooth. And with air bags they can tow like leafs.
@@fireant1272 Coils, unless they’re coil-overs (about 10x more expensive) have no progression. When going slow and crawling they feel nicer, but anything above a crawl is going to benefit from a progressive spring rate, whether they’re leaf or coil-overs, coupled with a shock absorber.
On previous leaf-sprung raptors, deavers (progressive by nature), shackles, coupled with bump stops and bypass shocks created a very progressive travel for about 1/20th the cost of converting to traditional 4-link, caging the bed, buying all new coil-overs and shocks, and modifying or replacing your axle housing. And that’s not even including labor.
Leaf spring trucks can also go sprung-under which is another level above over-sprung in terms of progressiveness and travel.
Airbags don’t belong in an offroad vehicle that’s intended for going anything faster than trail speeds
@@chaseacklam6174 yes like the trx and new raptor 5 link. So much better for offroad and suspension travel. It's far better then the gen 1 that rides like crap.
@@fireant1272 No not like the TRX and new raptor LOL. The stock suspension on any raptor or trx out of the factory is horrible for an offroad truck. That’s why there are dozens and dozens of aftermarket suspension kits for them - to fix the fucked up suspension that comes out of the factory. I can get 18 inches of travel, with X2 bump stops and a 5 tube 4.0 bypass shock with progressive deavers for about 12-14k out the door. The Gen 3 Raptor is stuck with 15 inches of travel with a mediocre shock unless you’re willing to pay a minimum of $40 thousand dollars. And if you don’t pay the 40k for a real 4 link set up, you’re going to get smoked by teenagers in tacomas with $3500 suspension kits. Lol
nice video I enjoyed watching
Hey thanks!
Great video and very informative. Thanks for sharing
Great video. I had a first gen and now a third gen. I do miss the V8 engine but the third gen drives much better.
With proper winter tires (Nokian ), it is a beast in winter. The first gen lacked proper winter tires and I actually got stuck many times..
Should have had a supercharged gen 1
And look at the extra weight the Gen3 was carrying. Lol.
You Should've tried them on a roll, I bet the outcome would've been different. Gen 1 all the way
Read somewhere on the inter webs that rumor is when Ford drops the Raptor R, Ram will release a Redeye TRX…should be some interesting UA-cam videos coming up..
Another example of the consumer winning with competition!
gen 1 only one that sounds like a real truck
ill keep my gen 1
Nice work guys 👍
Thanks 👌
I gave a gen 2 or 3 out of the hole to 40 in my 04 pathfinder.. put in low lock he passed me around 43ish and bet he was over 50. No agreement I just put in low lock and nailed it at the light. I could tell eat he drove that he would bite.
Ford says the Gen 3 gives you more torque down low (Lower RPM) so maybe that helped
That would certainly make sense.
The gen 1 in my opinion will always be tje king. Its the best looking it was the most badass thing back in the day. And it can still hold its own against any newer truck this day in age. Obviously not in a straight line bit off road it can.
We totally agree, especially since we own the Gen 1 in this episode. :)
Fundamentally the Gen 1 raptor is still relevant to anything new.
@@TexasTruckChannel exactly.
Idk my gen1 spanks gen2s all day
Is it just me or the Gen 2 Raptor looks better than the Gen 3 Raptor?
By far in my opinion
Always liked the raptor, I ran a gen 3 in my Titan that had 230k miles on the clock but full bolt ons and a tune from uprev. I got pulled by half a length (not surprised, I knew the outcome beforehand but couldn’t help myself). I just purchased a 22 powerboost though, and am blown away by the way it accelerates. I’ve missed out on a lot of ass kickin though, I’m constantly chasing the mpgs with gas the way it is lol.
I don't understand why they don't spool the turbos when they launch, why would you go from idle, the 0-60 times are so off bc they go from idle 🤦
Would have been too much of a stretch to put premium fuel in the first gen? Geeze. It may be funny for you guys, but when you jump a launch it screws up the whole race. You should have raced again.
The exhaust isn’t stock on the gen 2 with that squirly SPD pipe setup.
I feel saying gen 1-2-3 is a bit misleading. The original with the 5.4 was the real first gen and while it was the slowest it was definitely the best sounding. this is more like gen 2-3-4 comparison
I love Gen 1 and would argue for its sake. Let me boost my bored out 6.2 and see how far behind gen 2 and gen 3 will be.
They changed gearing!!
Can you make one on styling like which ones the best looking
Yes, stay tuned for the full review, we get in to that!
I’ll take a faster start than being faster in the long run, I’m referring to that gen 2 to gen 3 race
The reason the gen 3 is so much quicker is because if the 10 speed transmission.. i would hav thought y’all would have mentioned the transmissions
Gen 2 also has a 10spd transmission
They don't limit torque in the first 2 gears for the gen 3. Makes a big difference. I'm sure they also massively underrated it. I've seen several dynos showing up to 30hp/100tq difference on the same day between gen 2 and gen 3.
I now have a gen 2 raptor
Love it
Gen 1 sounds great.
Gen 2 have the best design.
We love the Gen 2 design.
Test longevity of gen 1 vs gen 2.
How about the new powerboost with 570 torque vs the new raptor?
I wanna see them drag race off road not on a street lol
I want Raptor Gen2 with F150 Shelby (2018-2020)engine and Gen 3 suspension.
There were only 3 new 2015 trucks in Florida, Daytona Beach it was white and sliver, and I was inside my Brother’s Truck
2 lawnmowers racing🦾
2 lawn mowers winning?
The trumpet sound of gen 3 sucks but hawked the gen 2 down, wow
Yall definitely didn't use the S/C gen one Raptor
Correct, because Ford didn’t sell a Gen 1 with a blower.
So the Gen 1 was 6.2 and Gen 2 was 3.5 ecoboost?
Correct.
For the money snd looks gen 2 is better
Gen 2 and 3 have the same engine ?
I'm not sure but I think the gen 3 has a better tune and makes more power than ford is letting on. I say this because If I'm correct the gen 3 and gen 2 are both rated at 450 hp. I have even heard the gen 3 has different turbos but I don't know that for sure.
Gen 2 is the best
Gen 1 & 3 were carrying and extra 100lbs
Gen3 we 37 tires nice performacce
Son muy parecidas la primera y tercera generación en el frente como que le hicieron un homenaje a la Reyna madre de las raptors
¡¡larga vida a la reina!!
I would still drive a Gen1 over those cute little V6’s. 😀
I never did understand why people obsess over mere cylinder count as opposed to output. I say this as someone who drives a V8 as a daily.
@@dreadnoughtprime6301 f.i the v8 tune it and be quiet mr i drive a v8 they sound better give up more tq and are by far more reliable
@@ranware2779 That's a pretty vague statement with a lot of typical rhetoric.
@@dreadnoughtprime6301 thats a very FACTUAL STATEMENT your little v6 will never be on a v8's level on any note especially if equal f.i vs f.i na vs na no 4cyl or 6cyl os on the same playing save your newschool bs its trash my guy gen 1 f.i would literally destroy both the gen2 and gen 3 with ease
@@ranware2779 @Ran Ware @Ran Ware You do realize that noise is an incredibly subjective measure, right? Not only that, if you're comparing the exhaust of two different engine types and expecting the comparison to be apples to apples, you're going to have a bad time. It's just not done. Also, no, the Gen 1 that you claim to own but don't actually own will not be as fast as the gen 2 or gen 3 raptors. The major factor here is output. You can bluster on all day about how 8 is a bigger number than 6, but it won't change that my 4.6 in my Crown Vic will get its shit kicked in by a 3.5 V6 Taurus. I don't care if you're talking about forced induction after the fact. That's like saying "if my car had the following mods, it would be able to beat this other car here." If "ifs" and "buts" were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.
My gen 1 would smoke those new ones the supercharger makes a huge difference
Bigger turbos and better tune on the Gen 3
...but supercharge or turbo the 6.2 and it destroys everything else.
every launch the caller start off way early.
I sold my 3.5 ecoshit f150 she let me die on mexican highway…. From that moment im a non turbo trucks guy
Gen 1 sounds American and the Gun 2/3 still has that Honda Civic after market muffler sound. Yea you know what i'm saying, Lol....
I wish a civic sounded that good. Sounds more like a r35 gtr, which isn't a bad thing at all as far as I'm concerned.
@@KB-bh9hp Okie Dokie ......
As a Gen 2 owner I will say it sounds horrible but I love it off road and it's fun hammering it from a stop light every once in awhile. Gen 3 does sound more like a GTR R35, but I know "truck purists" want a v8 noise. Idk why everyone cant just enjoy their trucks and stop trying to shit on the different Gens lol
@@Hunter-nb5bj Youre right I like your idea, lets just enjoy our trucks because they are all great trucks. I love them all even trucks other than Ford.....Thanks for reminding us what its all about.....Have fun..
@@Hunter-nb5bj What's that? You have a slightly different opinion than I do? Well that makes you the worst human being on the planet, let's fight. At least that's how a lot of these individuals think. People just love to complain lol. Your truck was better than the gen 1 in basically every way in terms of performance, and design. But because people didn't like the sound, they complained lol. Ford improved the sound for gen 3, people complained. Ford's bringing back a v8 powered raptor, with the gt500 engine nonetheless, and people are complaining that they aren't using some antiquated, big-block, pushrod naturally aspirated pos engine from 30 years ago.
Gen 1 411 hp.....
Yes, 411 on 91 octane, 400 on the 87 octane we had in our Gen 1 at the time of the shoot.
These are the real Raptors. not the weak 2Liter
La raptor de última generación tiene el frente muy parecido a la primera generación
Those 6 cyl Raptors sound like 350z cars with fart cans on them. I love everything else though.
I like the gen 2s look the best
Only the raptor r will compare to the first gen
Did y'all run premium in both Ecoboost trucks? AFAIK its recommended for best performance. I also have an Ecoboost truck and there's a huge difference in performance between 87 and premium fuel. 30 HP/TQ on the regular 3.5 Ecoboost gained with premium.
LOL its just gearing changes in the new gen. The gen 2 can be actually tuned where the gen 3 cannot and will smoke the gen 3 all day long....plus the gen 3 is as ugly as it gets
My gen 2 Did the 1/4 in 13.7 sea level I have the video on my channel
There is no Gen 3 raptor.... it's a facelift...
It’s a new generation of F150, and raptor.
God the v6 sounds embarrassing bad. I don’t care if it has 1000hp.
The Gen 1 wasn't sport mode, ride, like girl
What?
@@TexasTruckChannel " do you see the off button above the screen? Just hit it once. You will see "sport mode" dialog in your wheel screen. Put your gear on m. Now you are ready to race." In your comments.
You think that v6 is more powerful, well, yes, the old settings against 2 turbines and a sea of electronics, so that you fix it more often and pay. Ford is going to release the Raptor R with 5.0 coyote from the Mustang, let's see how many people will start selling their v6 vacuum cleaners for the opportunity to bypass the TRX...
Just marketing.
Sounds like a couple bees in a jar 🤮
There is no gen 3 it's still generation 2
Yeah that’s not correct.
@@TexasTruckChannel a new generation usually involves a body style change nothing changed
F.i that gen 1. It weights more and even has less tech than the gen2/3. Guarantee gen1 under f.i would be untouchable to these 2 weak v6 clown engines
If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped. I'll take more power, better efficiency, a lighter truck, and a stronger stiffer frame every day and twice on Sunday. We can play the if game all day. The fact remains Ford stopped making the gen 1 for a reason.
Where’s all the v6 crybabies at?
Dont make excuses just cuz its a Ford.
Ha!
yall must have a lot time on your hands to be doing this.
This was a joke to even put the gen 1 raptor against the gen 2
Wack
If you only understand how much time it takes to produce this type of content, then you would understand how much time we don’t have to spare. The whole point of a generational raptor video it to put them all head to head.
@@TexasTruckChannel competing with the gen 1 is futile. It is an off-road truck that won BAJA.
Putting them all head to head would be on an off-road setting, not the pavement. But then the gen 1 would win that.
So we come full circle. The idea for the video was wack to include the gen 1.
Gen 2/3 are mall crawlers.
