      Will B totally. The way we're going, V8s will be illegal some day. We should enjoy them while we can. Ford should have kept the v8 and put the Shelby gt350 setup with 6 speed manual for those seeking more power.

    I just picked up a 2011 Raptor SVT supercab last week. It has 50k miles, never been off road, always garages, and I Love the 6.2L V8. The previous and only other owner put in a flowmaster 40 and it growls beautifully. Looks brand new, feels brand new and I only spent 26k. New Raptors are ridiculously expensive...82k.

    I have to agree. Even with the 2017 being better in so many ways I have to stick by the V8. It makes me wonder just how many sales they've lost from not having the V8 option. I know 2 people who bought the Power Wagon over the new Raptor specifically because of the V8. Thanks for the awesome content on your channel!

    As someone who daily drove a 17’ scew cab, 802a package, flawless with an Afe magnum intake and an awesome corsa catback, I can tell you the 6.2 is the better truck. I traded in the 17’ on a 2014 scew cab with 113,000 miles versus the 17’ with 70000. The truck sounds better, it’s built better (steel), and is overall more cost effective and a hell of a lot more bad ass. If you’re a v8 truck lover like me, you’ll never regret finding a used 6.2. Not to mention that the engine is one of fords most brilliant works with reliability and the six speed transmission reliability.

      Truth is I love ecoboost f150’s they’re damn good trucks, and new raptor would be on my drive way if it had a v8 and the ford engineers didn’t focus on all the wrong things. People weren’t complaining about the raptor so why not leave it the hell alone throw in a lighter stronger body, offer a supercharged option, leave the transmission alone and don’t mess with the looks too much. Can I get an amen or am I just off here!? Lol

      @boss123400 7 років тому

      guy proulx Well, I'm certainly not going off road because of my back. My Tundra is 4x4, but an Urban package. These full size off-roaders have limited uses and I'm not a fan of any. The Raptor is way to wide for anything short of desert areas, the other full size have similar issues. Where I live they'll all be scratched to death from brush. In the mountains where I use to live, there's no way they are going on jeep trails for the same reason, they're too wide and long. That leaves desert running. Jeeps, LC, small pickups are way more versatile and fit in your garage. When Ford enters back in with the Ranger, will see a great deal of competition. We'll see what happens then. I'm sure the Taco will remain the best selling no matter what. Good times ahead for the midsize truck market ahead.

      +F-150 KING OF TRUCKS New 66rfe and 68rfe transmissions are pretty reliable. Chrysler had many problems in the past but, no worse than Ford did with their junk E40D and 4R100. And really, I'll bet the 66rfe will be more reliable than that complicated 10 speed spring load clock that Ford is now using.

    • @kinnybingman8666
      @kinnybingman8666 7 років тому +3

      Another bad thing about turbos is they should come with a turbo timer original equipment but they never do. What a turbo timer does is it let the engine idle for 5 minutes before it shuts off you can go to the hot rod shop though and get one installed. And that will help save a lot of turbos. Turbos are driven off of your exhaust and your exhaust is real hot. And if you shut off your engine constantly with a hot Turbo it won't last

    I'm really surprised that all that extra electronics and two turbos only gives you an extra 3 mpg. I wonder if you drove it slower and in a higher gear on the highway if the mpg would shoot up drastically. I'm also curious about mpg from both of them when towing.

    Three more reasons to keep the old one: better departure angle, you have a winch, and you can get a longer long-term review out of it.

    From this camera angle it looks like the old Raptor has more ground clearance up front. Is that true?

    The V8 sounds like a old muscle car. It’s just cool.
    Plus, turbos can overheat and the ecoboost engine (as great as is it) has more parts and things going on.
    V8 is simpler, been around longer, which means , statistically, a lower probability chance of engine or transmission issues. (Of course, the best vehicle is the one well maintained, no accidents etc etc)
    And personally, I don’t like things like push start, and an aluminum frame. I want a real key Bc it’s way easier and cheaper to replace. I had to replace an 2011 Infiniti key for $300. And a guy had to come to my house to program it.
    I want steel frame so my truck doesn’t get ripped up in a 10mph fender bender (watch steel vs aluminum f150 crash test video)
    My steel framed 2014 FX4 V8 saved my life in a bad hit and run accident. Driver turned the wrong way down a one way and floored it straight at me. I barely dodged him and he hit the front corner, slid along the driver side, ripped off my back axle, the wheel and bumper. We walked away without a scratch thank god.
    I’m now looking to replace it with another 2014 fx4 or raptor. V8 steel body is basically a reliable, off-road tank.

    I got the Gen 1, because it is much beefier looking than the Gen 2. I am a fan of the Gen 1 since it's inception. They are both nice and anybody is a lucky duck to have one. But my heart is with the Gen 1 as well❤💯

      @StyfeLife 7 років тому +1

      If it had more power, yes. But would I a take a 4cyl turbo that put out more tq and HP than a turbo 5.0? Indeed I would. I dont give a hoot how many cylinders it has as long as it has more power.

    • @StyfeLife
      @StyfeLife 7 років тому

      Torsen front diff in my Raptor is better than the locking front diff in the Gen1 Raptor, FYI. You can also put a winch on the front of the Gen2 Raptor just have to get an intercooler relocation kit which is readily available from Full Race or ADD.

    • @spamfried894
      @spamfried894 7 років тому +2

      You can make 1000hp 4 cylinder turbo if you want, but at what cost? You think all that complexity and high internal stresses aren't without drawbacks? No, it makes an engine less reliable over the long run and more expensive to fix when it does break.
      N/A engines did not just hit a horsepower wall, making it time for turbocharged engines to take over or something, they're just being forced out by phony targets set up by government regulators. In reality, Ford's progression of the V8 has stalled. GM makes more powerful and fuel efficient engines, and they're doing it without complicated turbocharging.

    • @StyfeLife
      @StyfeLife 7 років тому

      There isnt any turbo lag on the new 3.5 HO. Move the intercooler with a relocation kit and you can have a winch. Pretty simple fix.

    The only thing letting down the 2017 truck is the engine choice.
    I'm sure the 6.2 with the 10 speed auto would get similar MPG to the 3 5 Eco boost.
    Still less MPG but way more durable and massively less complicated long-term.
    That's why I'm looking for a 2013.

    I have to agree with this video. I love FORD and raptors, but the engine note of a V6 really kills it for me. If I had the money and means I would buy the 2017 and drop a v8 in it. That's the perfect truck. They should at least offer a limited run of v8s

  • @rik999

    Keeping the old Raptor is a good choice for what it is used for. The winch placement problem on the new Raptor is the deal breaker for me. Also the overhangs and approach and departure angles seem worse in the new truck.
