@@RaitisRides Dave Manning. I was vacationing in Hawaii and needed to take advantage of the Bonus Depreciation Tax Deduction before year end and bought it very hasslefree without even seeing the truck in person from Maui. They were great to work with and it was a very easy transaction. I negotiate for a living and I am one of the top Commercial Real Estate Brokers in Florida and paid the full MSRP for this truck and it's worth every penny. Great Video! Do you have any videos on what upgrades / customization you can do to the Raptors? I'd like to put a superchip and upgrade the exhaust to make it sound loud and mean like a raptor should!
I've owned several trucks and the Raptor is by far the best for a sport\off road truck. It does ride great and has more acceleration than any other stock truck out there. It is fun to drive. Mine is the 802A Super Crew with the Technology Package.
"You can fit a person in the center counsel". Funny how you mentioned Thanksgiving Turkey, Wright Gainer and I was wondering how you were going keep it fresh on many reviews of the Ford Truck line up. That's why you got some of the most respectful fans in your comments. Bravo brother!
This car perfectly fits everything I want in a vehicle it has paddle shifters press button start remote start heated seats heated steering wheel. It’s the perfect fit
The 2019 are starting production. Unlike the 2017 to 2018, where nothing really changed, 2019 is adding live valve shocks. You should be clearing them out at way under MSRP. Selling at MSRP is for people for don’t know better.
I am just sharing my passion for cars with you. Walker Ford is kind enough to let me use their vehicles. Thank you for your perspective and for watching!
Here's Dan Robison escaping the 2013 El Reno tornado in a Toyota Yaris, it's ESC stopped him from going over 41 mph on a muddy county road.....the tornado had sped up to 50 mph immediately behind him and had consumed 3 members of the TWISTEX team in their hoplesley overloaded Chevy Cobalt. Dan was only 26 seconds ahead of them...........now you see why they should have been in a Raptor ! ua-cam.com/video/MxgU1QcFMJM/v-deo.html
With the 2019's just about to hit the showrooms, with uprated active shocks, recaro's and hill-climb control etc, there should be some good deals to be had on the old 2018's...
I'm on my 5th raptor. Had 2 gen 1s and now I'm on my 3rd gen 2. 19k 20k. 39k 35k and my latest 2018 was 34.5k. Can't wait to try the gen 3 and bronco raptor someday
I wish Ford dealerships are like this in Northern California ☹️. Beautiful truck. Honestly this review make me want to go check this Raptor out in person.
That is really crazy what the price is for those types of options. I think rear seat heating is $895 option which I think is steep. Thank you so much for adding your input from ownership experience!
God I love that color, my Rs is the Grey as well. Again I wish I was by you, here in upstate NY everything is over priced my previous mustang GT, my Rs, and soon to be the ZR2 will all of have been bought outta state, I have no choice lol. Raptors around here are close to 70-80k. Another GREAT review Joe, hope everyone is doing good and in great health! Edit: 5 second 0-60, holy cow! People better put tunes on there ST’s, this things coming for you lol
Thank you so much for the compliment and I really appreciate you watching! It's crazy how different parts of the country have a variety of prices. Everyone is doing well on the Raiti's Rides team. Thank you so much for asking! I hope all is well on your side!
There will be some who wants a V8 in a Raptor. But there is still a way to get a Raptor V8 with the lower trims. One guy got the F150 with a V8 and he boosted it with a whipple supercharger and got close to 800 crank horsepower and whoop some Mustang and Charger Hellcat with that 10 speed and 4WD drivetrain top speed he got was over 160MPH on the Mexico road.
Great video. Tks for doing this. Why do you think Ford pumped the fake noise into the speakers? That was something they totally sprung on us. There was never any mention of it being done when being tested. Just find it very odd. Also when do you expect the 2019's to hit the street?
Thank you so much for the compliments! The fake noise on paper sound stupid but hey my ears couldn't tell the difference! lol . Yeah I remember that! We are suppose to see the 2019 Raptors hit the dealers in the next month or so! Stay tuned because they do have some updates!
Do everything online, don’t bother with a sales individual, wait for the best price and keep negotiating until you get your price; never negotiate based on monthly payment only on final cost of truck including all fees.
Just got 17 cement 4Runner trd pro the raptor will be my next vehicle the baddest truck ever i just wish is the voodoo engine so I wait and see v8 last longest sounds bad ass also
Oh, and you guys waiting for a 7.0L to be put in the future Raptor are likely going to be waiting indefinitely. That truck will not handle as well due to the added weight, even with an Aluminum block.......Makes tackling jumps tougher unless you really turn up the dampening or put much stouter coilovers.....
Bought my Raptor last Oct for 2500- than msrp. Sold it recently w/12k miles for about what I paid, due to ‘19 coming and HO3.5 being available in the coming Platinum. I can pick up a new Raptor w/no miles less than I sold the used. Plus you failed to mention the market is full of them. Raptor side stickers look stoopid too haha. Great truck but the prices are too much.
Raptors are one of the best off roading trucks, straight from trophy trucks, amazing piece of machine, great at towing, Raptors are now are common in our country, yes it’s expensive but still worth buying it, the color is a,among especially when black trimming are there like the grill, if it was matte it would have been better
Raiti's Rides the color is amazing* you know sir I only realize my mistakes when someone likes or comments on my comment and as I said this car is a beats but I can’t decide on what to buy despite that I already have an F-150
@@TecDLogic Raptor is amazing truck but its Far, Far away from true Trophy Truck. To put it for you in easy way true Trophy Truck suspension can be as much $$$ as whole Raptor (suspension alone), Trophy Trucks have even up to 40" of travel where Raptor is 13 or 14". Like I said Raptor is one of the best if not the best factory offroad truck but you cannot compare it to true Trophy Trucks. Raptor would fall apart doing extreme offroad that true Trophy Trucks do.
Wojciech Gierczynski i understand but they got the idea from a trophy truck since it’s one bada** machine, what if the raptor is the same as a trophy truck 🤔
Just don’t try in Houston area because the TX dealers have a lock on holding to the above or at MSRP prices.....in November!!!! I had to go out of state to get $2500 under MSRP!
What everyone's problem!!!....this Twin turbo V6 will smoke any competitors V8 period....same engine in the ford GT....get over the heavy gutless V8s people. MAGA
The dealers by me, wanted 20k over MSRP, even now still want 10k... I was like GTFOH! For 90k I spent a little more and got a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Forester. I know no comparison, but I got 2 for the price of 1??? 😂 BTW, your shirt matches the Fox shocks 👌
The only negative thing anyone seems to have to say about this truck is the sound, idk about anyone else but I’m not spending thousands of $ to drive a sound, I’m spending that hard earned money to drive a truck, and this happens to be a great truck.
Because gas prices are going up.......trucks and other gas killer's are way cheaper when gas is high.....also it's coming to the end of the year......new models are coming in a few months
The Ford Raptor is a Highly Capable off road Vehicle..Very Macho looking. But the V6 is a deal breaker !.. . We could have had a Glorious sounding 700+ hp supercharged Coyote Motor. Too Bad FORD doesn't give us that option. Question : Why does the Raptor twin turbo 3.5 V6 make 197 less HP than the Ford GT twin turbo 3.5 V6 ? Not the same Motor ?
Robert Stewart I totally get what you are saying. You have to take one for a spin. I would like to see a voodoo equipped Raptor. The sound would be beautiful! 😊👍🏻
I do not want fake simulate exhaust note coming from the stereo speakers. Thats ultra weak and they can keep that ecoboost crap where it belongs in theyre prize mustang. No thank you Ford. I'll take an srt vehicle or lt1 powered car! Btw 2021 mustang is sharing the platform with an Explorer no joke.
Ford needs to offer multiple engines options for theyre vehicles and stop shoving that ecoboost mess in Every vehicle they make. It has no business in a Lincoln Continental flagship product and they expect to go up against Germanys best. And Raptor is just foul. Now ruined the Ford GT and throw away heritage. John Seca perfers a manual and 2005 GT is an awesome car. Now they commited the ultimate folly. Putting it in the beloved Mustang muscle car. Srt eat your heart out and keep making great muscle cars
Got news for you man, one grand less off a raptor is still not affordable! Great truck, but unless dealers can manage to drop at least 5k off sticker price, the raptor will continue to sell to the wealthy.
Andry Hernandez Who said vehicles have to be affordable for you . You live in a capitalistic economy if you want something work for it . Ford makes the Fiesta in your price range grab one before they are gone
BUILT 4 ADVENTURE It's called capitalism , dealers can charge what they want and you can pay what you want . Now fuck off to Russia , you communist prick

Ha ha wait till Ram puts out there version with the hellcat motor. Its gonna be serious competition. I used to have a Raptor with the 6.2 but now I own the Hellcat. There is no way I could get the v6 version.
Unfortunately the word FORD at the front and back is so big. It isn't a brand name any more. It is an advertising tool. I believe we as customers must appeal to FORD to charge them for this advertising tool. Yes I am serious. FORD is so so big to be as a logo or a brand. I believe FORD is misleading their customers and use them as advertising tools. Thank you
I managed to watch till minute 9:30 and then I gave up. The raptor looks great, but the presentation sucks. It is not presentation at all...It is car salesmanship of the cheapest kind. Sorry
I'll wait until 2020 Joe. I've been sworn to secrecy, but let's just say T-Rexes were known to eat Raptors. ;-) Great video Joe. I'd like to have one before they disappear from the planet. :-) But hey, our fossil fuel is running low and needs replenishing and sacrifices have to be made.
Peter Carey I heard Chevy is coming out with a triceratops truck. This should getting interesting. You are not going to be happy with a t-Rex 🦖. It’s arms are to short to wave 👋🏻, therefore the wave would be extinct.
"The interior will challenge a BMW" - Is this guy serious? The only BMW interior the Raptor is challenging is one from the 1980s...I like the F150/Raptor but its a truck and its filled with heavy duty plastic surfaces because its purpose built. An interior that would be worthy of a BMW would literally fall apart within weeks or days in a Raptor if it was used as intended.
BMW is known for having a plain, conservative interior. They are not all that aesthetically appealing or impressive as BMW wants the focus to be on “performance”. Additionally, the presenter in this video is making reference to the features and aesthetics of the Raptor. His intention is not to discuss the underlying quality of the components.You’re an idiot for not understanding this. Because you took the time to make a snarky remark in the comment section, I’ve taken the time to correct you.
You obviously havent seen the next gen BMWs interiors ...Go look at the seven series all the way down to the newly released 3 series and tell me the interiors arent aesthetic or appealing...LOL. They are works of art and almost all of the reviewers I've seen have put them on par with Mercedes and above Audi....and in no way does the raptor challenge BMW in anyway in regards to the interior...It doesnt challenge BMW in technology, quality and or aesthetics. Im not the idiot if you cant see the fact that these vehicles are built for two different segments with two very different buyers. The Raptor is an awesome truck and I would love to have one. Anyone with any level of sense can go look at two pictures of a next gen BMW interior and a Raptor and tell one is vastly superior to the other, however. Thats not a "snarky" comment, its reality.
I read some article about, which Ford want the F150 entering the global market (if not mistaken), hope that come true. the F150 in Malaysia, was sold under private company call Hamawangsa, which the Ford F150 entered conversion from LHD to RHD under Urban Warrior company, here the video link for reference, ua-cam.com/video/cllGdMByiuY/v-deo.html, hopefully Ford able entering fully, can not wait when it arrive in Malaysian market. As for the demand, southeast Asia country, are more likely in highly frequent sell is the Ford Ranger variants.
Raiti's Rides ; I am Joe! I am going to spend $70K next year!!!!! Guess what I’m getting? A 2019 EMORY University. Loaded. Another top flight school that my kid likes , freshman tuition. Yay!

call the Ford Performance Racing School. My wife did here Focus ST school and I did the RS academy. I literally saw the trucks with my own eyes! Check out their website. It's an amazing time!
ino mbo it’s on the window sticker and you receive a special letter from Ford about it! I highly recommend going. It’s an amazing setup they have there!
I stopped watching it after he said "the interior is a challenge to the BMW". I'm the owner of the Bmw x6m 2016. By the way, the look of this RAPTOR is amazing except for the sound.
@@RaitisRides Oh don't get it twisted... I will own one when I move south. Not letting the NE winter salt eat corrode that beast. However I will always be disappointed in the sound sadly.
If you haven’t driven a v6 eco boost then you have no clue. All the bitching about the v6 are from people that have no clue and never driven one. Because if you have you would not wish it was a v8.

Who said vehicles have to be affordable for you . You live in a capitalistic economy if you want something work for it . Ford makes the Fiesta in your price range grab one before they are gone
@@sarahann530 I am with you! If you want it go for it.

$4k off
I’ll never buy a v6 raptor. Ever. I’ve owned 2 v8 raptors. Build a v8 raptor again and value of v6 will take a dump!
I would love to see the Voodoo engine in a Raptor!
I had the choice of lead Foot gray or Lightning blue you can see what I chose LOL
You did very well! I really don't think I have seen a Raptor that didn't look good no matter what color!
Simple answer: because guy talking about this car needs a lot money , and he needs it now :-):-)
NEXT thanks for watching!!!i wouldn’t mind it!😉
$1000 off??? Ha. Still marked up. Ordered my 2018 in June 2017 for over $4600 off MSRP. Stop giving dealerships like this business.
Where do you live? I know that it really depends on what part of the country you are located in. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
BUILT 4 ADVENTURE
It's called capitalism , dealers can charge what they want and you can pay what you want . Now fuck off to Russia , you communist prick
@@sarahann530 haha big man behind a keyboard. ^^^
BUILT 4 ADVENTURE
Haha , a child would recognize a commie fucking prick like you never mind a big man . Now get back to work , there is a line at your register waiting on their burger and fries
@@sarahann530 You're right, I do need to go to work. Same "job" I have had for nearly 14 yrs. If serving in the USAF makes me a commie then what does that make you? I'm done giving you the time of day. You probably have never even stepped outside the US let alone defend our country in war zone. You don't know sacrifice or what it means to be a patriot. Keep being the keyboard hero you think you are. Good luck with your life. God bless.
sounds like chit mon still want one …… a friend has an Ecoshoost with a Rousch exhaust sound like louder chit mon
These Raptors are just so amazing! You have to get one!
Nice video.
However, the gen 2 raptor sounds like a cub,
While the gen 1 raptor sounds like a male 🦁
Thank you for the compliment! If you likne them up next to one another the cub will eat the make alive!
Watching ur video for the 2nd time. Lol is there a second “like” button?
That is really awesome of you to do that! I really appreciate the compliments it helps me stay motivated.
passes a cop then slams on the gas im done xD
Out of sight out of mind!
Ha ha wait till Ram puts out there version with the hellcat motor. Its gonna be serious competition. I used to have a Raptor with the 6.2 but now I own the Hellcat. There is no way I could get the v6 version.
We will see what the future holds! Competition increases the breed!
Unfortunately the word FORD at the front and back is so big. It isn't a brand name any more. It is an advertising tool. I believe we as customers must appeal to FORD to charge them for this advertising tool. Yes I am serious. FORD is so so big to be as a logo or a brand. I believe FORD is misleading their customers and use them as advertising tools. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Would be cool if you could make money off of any sales based on your videos for Walker.
amill1563 they have taken very good care of me! 😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides So let it be spoken. So let it be done.
We are having a 10k Subscriber celebration for Raiti's Rides and Walker Ford is hosting the whole thing!
Give this guy comm for something that sells itself? Yeah that makes sense.
I would buy this just for off-roadies not for truck work
I managed to watch till minute 9:30 and then I gave up. The raptor looks great, but the presentation sucks. It is not presentation at all...It is car salesmanship of the cheapest kind. Sorry
I really don't know what you are looking for. I am just a guy sharing my passion for cars and trucks for others! Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I’m getting the 2019
Congrats you are going to love it! Any idea on what color you want?
I'll wait until 2020 Joe. I've been sworn to secrecy, but let's just say T-Rexes were known to eat Raptors. ;-) Great video Joe. I'd like to have one before they disappear from the planet. :-) But hey, our fossil fuel is running low and needs replenishing and sacrifices have to be made.
Peter Carey I heard Chevy is coming out with a triceratops truck. This should getting interesting.
You are not going to be happy with a t-Rex 🦖. It’s arms are to short to wave 👋🏻, therefore the wave would be extinct.
Ha, ha. Touche!
Peter Carey you’re the best!
Baddassss sir
GSHeverything _27 I’m so glad you approve!
Oh my god! At msrp? Still $15,000 too expensive.
I can totally see where you are coming from! Thank you so much for watching!
Invoice for these is $56k 802a package $8999 msrp=73k ???
Where are u located
I am in Clearwater FL, where are you ?
Long Island unfortunately
Looking at a couple of new 18s right now.
Let me know how it goes, and if you need any help!
"The interior will challenge a BMW" - Is this guy serious? The only BMW interior the Raptor is challenging is one from the 1980s...I like the F150/Raptor but its a truck and its filled with heavy duty plastic surfaces because its purpose built. An interior that would be worthy of a BMW would literally fall apart within weeks or days in a Raptor if it was used as intended.
Well the bottom line is the Raptor interior is awesome!
BMW interior is extremely over rated
BMW is known for having a plain, conservative interior. They are not all that aesthetically appealing or impressive as BMW wants the focus to be on “performance”. Additionally, the presenter in this video is making reference to the features and aesthetics of the Raptor. His intention is not to discuss the underlying quality of the components.You’re an idiot for not understanding this. Because you took the time to make a snarky remark in the comment section, I’ve taken the time to correct you.
LamborghiniMarce thank you for your support and having my back!
You obviously havent seen the next gen BMWs interiors ...Go look at the seven series all the way down to the newly released 3 series and tell me the interiors arent aesthetic or appealing...LOL. They are works of art and almost all of the reviewers I've seen have put them on par with Mercedes and above Audi....and in no way does the raptor challenge BMW in anyway in regards to the interior...It doesnt challenge BMW in technology, quality and or aesthetics. Im not the idiot if you cant see the fact that these vehicles are built for two different segments with two very different buyers.
The Raptor is an awesome truck and I would love to have one. Anyone with any level of sense can go look at two pictures of a next gen BMW interior and a Raptor and tell one is vastly superior to the other, however. Thats not a "snarky" comment, its reality.
Thinking about trading my 18 f150 for a raptor
Fuck I want that truck so fucking bad!!!
I know exactly how you feel!
I wish that Raptor will be enter to Malaysian market
kyramatsu89 maybe one day if Ford finds a demand for it!
I read some article about, which Ford want the F150 entering the global market (if not mistaken), hope that come true.
the F150 in Malaysia, was sold under private company call Hamawangsa, which the Ford F150 entered conversion from LHD to RHD under Urban Warrior company, here the video link for reference, ua-cam.com/video/cllGdMByiuY/v-deo.html,
hopefully Ford able entering fully, can not wait when it arrive in Malaysian market. As for the demand, southeast Asia country, are more likely in highly frequent sell is the Ford Ranger variants.
I'll see if I can track down any info for you from my connections!
thank you
I need one Joe! 70K I’m thinking,,,
Philip Rosenthale so do I!
Raiti's Rides ; I am Joe! I am going to spend $70K next year!!!!! Guess what I’m getting? A 2019 EMORY University. Loaded. Another top flight school that my kid likes , freshman tuition. Yay! And that will cover year one. We then have only three more years to go! And then I get to do it all over again! With my other kid. Yes! Do you have any freakin’ idea what I could be driving if college tuition wasn’t completely insane? On second thought let’s not think about that. Maybe I can talk her into Rutgers...not.
Philip Rosenthale you’re a great dad! You are making a wise investment. I’m sure they will take care of you once they get those high paying jobs.
No thanks I'll buy a V8 and build it up myself.
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
For a truck i would love to have a v8 DIESEL on that machine.. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That would be interesting!
The Gen 1 is better because it has V8 6.2L The Gen 2 is better because its 70,000
Thank you for sharing your perspective and input!
Don't need the sunroof.
I wouldn't want it either.
Bring the lightning back ☹️
Ivan GBs that was an amazing truck! I say put the GT350’s voodoo engine in it!🏁🏁🏁🏁
Raiti's Rides that’d be awesome!
Ivan GBs it would sound so good.
This truck is OKAY! but i'll just stick with my F150 Roush
What year is your F150 Roush?
@@RaitisRides 2015
Very cool! I would love to review that!
@@RaitisRides Dude i have question here Someone with a Toyota Landcruiser said that FORD has a weak A/C and the Ford has a Bad Reselling Value is it true?
And Said that Nissan Titan would just Smoke my Roush .
Just send it over to my house bro ✌️😁👍
Teo P what’s your address?😉😂👍🏻
I asked ford.com about the trip to Utah as you mentioned they know nothing about that they said,
call the Ford Performance Racing School. My wife did here Focus ST school and I did the RS academy. I literally saw the trucks with my own eyes! Check out their website. It's an amazing time!
sharktooth911 the car dealers are aware of this when you buy. They will provide you the info
ino mbo it’s on the window sticker and you receive a special letter from Ford about it! I highly recommend going. It’s an amazing setup they have there!
I stopped watching it after he said "the interior is a challenge to the BMW". I'm the owner of the Bmw x6m 2016. By the way, the look of this RAPTOR is amazing except for the sound.
Sorry that comment bothered you! I just believe the interior on the Raptor is really great. I am not trying to insult anyone. Thank you for watching!
Ignore the Raptor until it has a proper V8 again.
Have you driven one? I would love to see a Voodoo in one of these!
Yes I have, my buddy sells Ford.
You didn't like the performance?
Mainly the sound, I prefer the V8, plus less headache knowing there is not a turbo there to add to expense/maintenance. 2017 F250 6.2L btw.
So very true!
Too much complimentary... not worth the interior compared to GMC sierra...
The GMC Sierra can not compete with this Raptor. It's in a diifgerent part of the truck segment!
Listen to that V6 growl in that truck!!!... said no one ever
The power though Ray is second to none.
@@RaitisRides Oh don't get it twisted... I will own one when I move south. Not letting the NE winter salt eat corrode that beast. However I will always be disappointed in the sound sadly.
If you haven’t driven a v6 eco boost then you have no clue. All the bitching about the v6 are from people that have no clue and never driven one. Because if you have you would not wish it was a v8.
No thanks , 70k truck?
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Nice I offered the corvette come drive my raptor.
That is so very vice of you! Where are you located?
Raptor Vs. F150 Lariat
Very interesting that you mentioned that because I have a 2019 F-150 Lariat coming soon!
So I guess no one wants the 6...gee really
You are hilarious! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
"I love..." 500X lol
I love the Raptor as well!
Come test my raptor
Where are you located?
Nice truck not worth that much money
The value of something is based of off if someone is going to purchase it. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
