Finally a eco friendly, small and cheap daily car
Who would want that? Poor people?
@@66smithrathose who want to save ohur planet..
@@JegernL
@@Jegern haha. Yea, I’ll bet you’ll “save the planet” by buying a certain car. Grow up and get over yourself.
@@Jegern climate change doesn’t exist. Y’all mfs is thinking about seasons
Officer: do you know how fast you were going?
Doug: no I was in track mode, and let me show you some of the other quirks and features of this gauge cluster
👍😁
That can get you in big trouble, track mode is not for road use, so if you every get pulled over take it outta track
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Officer: do you know why I stopped you?
Doug: because I stopped
Can't like this one enough lol.
Doug's the type of guy to lose his voice and STILL put out a nearly 29 minute video. #MyHero
"Put out"
CoviDoug :P
I never thought I would see a Ford pickup cost the same price as an '80s Lamborghini Countach
Or any other American car
It has Fords best engine, literally.
Interesting note: This Raptor truck is about one second faster 0-60mph than the Countach. Further, the truck and weighs (close to) twice as much.
It’s been 40 Years LOL
You understand how the power of the dollar changes right?
Like someone said before, starting a car sale website as a car reviewer is a genius move. Doug will never run out of cars to review.
Not genius, the definition of conflict of interest.
@@bcyrx the fuck are you talking about 😂
You misspelled “genius” didn’t you?
@@bcyrxDumbest comment i’ve read all day, thank for you for making me feel smart today.
@@bcyrx Ah yes, conflict of interest in website that you can buy bmw e90 m3 because owner talks about quirks and features in video 2 years ago....
He doesnt tell you if you "have to" buy that, he doesnt tell you if one specific model from his webiste is awesome, most people dont even watch his driving. Many things he shows are not even mentioned anywhere else.
What a time to be alive , seeing pick up trucks with 700hp from factory
I gno, you'd think that that stupidity would be gone with the 50's.
It's so fucking awesome to see.
I wish these companies would stop letting the greed get to them, with how much technology we have we should be able to get better mpg especially in trucks and suvs, no reason why they’re still getting the same mpg cars got 30 years ago💀
@@calebalexander7128 I agree. They can definitely improve the mpg of these new vehicles. 12 to 15 mpg highway is just ridiculous.
@@calebalexander7128 it you too worried about mpgs get a Corolla
My bone stock '16 Tundra gets around 12-13MPG. The Raptor making 2.3x the HP for 1-2MPG less is crushing it.
Damn! That's crazy.
Doug and Throttle house both covered this truck this week. Kudos to the Ford PR team.
Throttle house is great. They're driving reviews are top notch. Doug gets way more thorough with the details.
Doug getting over a cold but he’s still blessing us with reviews
Very professional.
He has permanent Covid.
A cold is nothing dude
It’s a cold who doesn’t work when they have a cold 😂
@@MidLifeCanuck dude me and my little dude did. Shit was terrible.
Nice shout out to Throttle House. They're definitely one of my favorites. Also, well done still getting this review done while feeling under the weather.
Nice truck. Not my cup of tea, but respect nonetheless.
Throttle House fulfills my dramatic side.
Doug is my straight face (w/giggles) indepth review. Lol
Yeah it's nice to see other TH-camrs shouting out one another. Raiti's Rides gave a shout out to Doug a few weeks ago 😁
@Dom Sr. - yeah it is, I like the mutual respect they pay each other.
I watched a StraightPipes review a while back, cant rememberwhich vehicle they were testing though. One of the guys, Yuri, says the word quirks a couple times in a row. So the other guy, Jakob, says "you can't say quirks that much". Then Yuri replies "I asked Doug, he said it's ok!" lol
The shout outs and subtle nods are always cool to see.
@@boutinboy lol, that's probably 100% true too
@@boutinboy Are the Straight Pipes guys still spending a significant amount of time in every video berating viewers for not subscribing? They used to be one of my favorites but I had to stop watching and unsubscribe a few years ago because they were total jerks and just super awful to watch because they just started spending half their videos going off on people for watching and not subscribing.
Mad props to the paint guy hand painting all those 8’s on all the Aptors.
i bet my grandpa never thought a pickup truck could break 10,000 dollars in his early years, im like him now that i cant believe a pickup truck from factory can be over 100,000 dollars
I hear you, but this ain’t grandpas truck.
@@frankhujsa821 you right it’s grandmas
@@frankhujsa821 yeah…well it isn’t a 100,000 dollar truck either.
In your grandpas day, pickup trucks were work vehicles to be used on farms. Today, this is what lawyers and contractors buy to pick up bread and eggs from the store.
Even though Doug lost his voice he still provided us with content
Anything for that ad revenue
I applaud him for doing the video even though he was losing his voice.
Man, it's not like he has Ebola!, lol
It’s how he makes money lol
Brave.
Thank you for your dedication Doug! Even when your voice is gone you still give us great in depth and energetic reviews!
Fun fact... the exaughst tips are actually not the same as V6 Raptor tips. Those are packed tips for sound tuning.
Ok
the fold down shifter designer is definitely a smart guy. we appreciate him 😂
And the she's will too 🤣
Thing is a monster in size if Doug looks tiny behind the truck.
Well, he's not feeling well so he's only 6'3" instead of 6'4"
Monster price tag as well😒
I wish reviews would include the approximate age a child needs to be so their head can be seen above the hood in a cross walk.
@@kmo9790 if you're worried about not seeing someone walking through a crosswalk, then you stopped too close to it.
Trx seems to be slightly bigger though
shout out Doug, for doing this through a cold and for giving Throttle House a shout out You're the best in the biz✊ I'll always be watching your videos
Currently sick, watching this review while cuddling my blanket, tea cup in hand, makes me appreciate Doug's effort so much more. I know I wouldn't get out of bed for anything in the world, but Doug did and for that reason he deserves all the success in the world coming to him. Kudos for your determination!
At least it's comforting to know that Doug's alright as we speak, due to the delay between him filming the video and us watching the end result. 🙌
What a hero… still going to work with a slight cold. Oh please.
@@Immagiraffe101how could you expect anyone to do such a heroic thing?? It takes only the strongest and bravest of people to get up and work when they have a runny nose! People are so soft nowadays it's hard to believe how anything gets done in the world honestly
I am so glad Ford listened to us. This thing is CRAZY
I actually appreciate that it looks just like a regular raptor. You'll hear the difference immediately
You are literally the embodiment of what a car salesman should be… so often you go in to buy a car and the salesman is as much in the dark about the model you’re looking at then you are… you end up spending a lot of time getting to know your car, and sometimes never figure out everything… absolutely addicted to your page.. ❤️👍🏼
I’ve learned so much, thanks
Doug mentioning Throttle House! Can we please get a Throttle House x Doug Demuro collab! I would love to see James and Thomas' take on a "Quirks and Features" intro!
Doug, awesome review! I watched all the way through and read far down the comment section and found no references to the hidden easter egg you missed on the truck. There is a hidden 'V' in both of the side decals that appear to contain only 8s. See if you can find them. I saw both when watching if you know where to look. Thanks a million for all your hard work doing these reviews!
9:13 "its all the SAaaAaaAaAAaAAame" XD God bless you Doug for pushing through sickness for your reviews. But the way you said 'Same' like a damn goat made me cackle XD
I respect your dedication to give us a review even with you losing your voice
Can confirm ya gotta be ready for driving in a ‘city’. 2022 Raptor 37 here in Los Angeles and I can’t fit in most parking decks. You have to KNOW what you’re doing to park/parallel park it. It’s nimble with cameras galore so that helps. Worth it. Friggin love it.
Dudes out here just casually letting everyone know he's got a mall crawler
@@holyhelo5speak I’m less than an hour from some of the best trails in California. Probably did more off-roading before I was 16 than most here. 😎
Did you have one of the other Raptors beforehand? What was your out the door price after markups at the dealer? Congratulations by the way I think they are fantastic! I had a 2014 and currently a 2020 and considering ordering a 2023 but won’t be able to swing the dealer markups even if I could get my hands on a Raptor R.
@@Captain-Awesome I grew up around racing and restoring cars.. I don’t need 700 HP in my truck. This is my first Raptor but have owned other trucks, including F-150.
Let’s just say I definitely paid over MSRP.. is what it is and we can afford it. Finding a 37 isn’t easy. Finding Rapid Red isn’t easy.. finding both together meant pony’ing up if we wanted it .. or we could wait a year for a build. We have the means so we bought it.. hell, I was going to go 35 but wife and kids said GO BIG! .. so we did. What I found in MONTHS of looking and research is that CA dealerships buy up much of the non-CA Raptors they can find.. and pay other non-CA dealerships ADM.. because they know they can sell Raptors in CA for even more ADM.
I know ADM gets people all emotional but you can’t change supply/demand. In fact, Ford could raise the MSRP of the Raptor $10K today and demand would be the same.. $ would just go to Ford instead of dealers.
If you don’t mind waiting.. I say order as you will get what you want for the ‘best’ price that way. Note that many of the 2023 units are coming with lots of ‘deletes’.. like tailgate ‘badge’, heated steering wheel, perimeter alarm..
@@Captain-Awesome FWIW, I have owned probably 30+ vehicles and it’s the most badass one I’ve every owned.. and the build quality is as high as recent Toyota and Lexus that I have owned.
I was at the F150 plant 2 months ago and was watching how they made the Raptors and the regular F150’s. It was really cool especially how they put the sunroof in the trucks. Great Videos Thank You 🙏
$110k before dealer markups is insane imo
For about the same price there is the F-150 Shelby pickup (limited to 500 / year) which supercharged version of the car-tuned 5.05L Coyote (instead of the 5.2L) makes 770hp. The ~ U$110K MSRP is for that supercharged version.
PERFORMANCE IS EXPEN$IVE!
No kidding. One can get into a nice BMW for that price
@@syxepop but the shelby is a badge engineering mess with off the shelf parts. It can never touch a raptor on the dirt
@Raptor.Tremor of course it won't touch the Raptor on dirt, the Shelby is lowered on street tires for starters. It's a road truck. Nothing about it is meant for offroad.
@@boutinboy you didn't specify the super snake sport. The regular shelby f150 is "offroad" oriented
😎🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁Doug D that type of guy to park get out the car walk into a restaurant and ask if he can order his food in the drive thru 😂😂😂😂
its christmas time. meaning the doug videos are gonna have some real bangers. lets gooooooooo
I drive a 2014 Raptor, which is the last year of the 6.2 V-8... I get CAN get 16 on the highway, but realistically, it's 14.5... Not bad when you consider a 4Runner gets 17 and, well a Raptor is a thing of American Beauty 😎
Here in Germany you start to see more and more Ford & RAM Pickup Trucks. I think that's because at least Ford now sells them in German/Euro Spec here since they also started selling the current gen Mustangs in German/Euro Spec.
Before that you only saw VW Amarok Pickups (which are amazing and hope Doug reviews one some day) and the Mercedes-Benz Pickup i forgot the Name of.
It's funny how common Pickup Trucks are in the USA, while here they stand out more than an Audi R8 or a Porsche 911, both because they're rare and they're huge. I always wonder why so many Americans buy a huge Pickup but then only use it to go shopping or drive anywhere
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Well they have more rear legroom than a standard wheelbase S class and they ride very nice since they haven't all gone down the trend of super low profile tires. That said, most of their use and capabilities are indeed wasted as a daily driver.
I've lived in a few different places in the United States and one thing they all had in common was some people buying pickups, and then not actually using them for work. I think it's a truck culture thing?
I think our roads/towns are just bigger, so the size of these trucks doesn't matter so much. With that not being a problem the massive towing capability and the usefulness of a truckbed really becomes a selling point. You can definitely get away with most work stuff using a van, but a truck bed is just preferred.
And for those talking about security of a van, it's very common for folks to get shells for their bed if they're carrying valuable tools or w/e. Yeah trucks are less economical, but outside of special versions like this Raptor R, they've really leaned into the more efficient turbo engines and hell you have the F-150 Lightning now. And regardless, gas is just cheaper here than Europe. There's definitely a 'truck culture' in America, and some folks absolutely don't need one themselves, but they simply make sense here unlike other places.
Greetings! F150 owner living in USA. Pickup trucks are an all around most useful vehicle. I do tow and haul heavy loads in my truck, but it is also a fantastic family hauler. The ride is smooth and on road trips I can go 700 miles before needing to fuel up. A great family vehicle option imo
Euro spec cars > U.S. spec cars. Why? Simply because Euro spec cars don’t have those ugly orange and red side markers inside the headlights/taillights or fenders.
As a side note, Cars and Bids is a great website, you've done a good job. Bid on a couple for quirky old cars and hope to bag one soon!
I’ve always loved the three orange marker lights in the grill of the Raptor! It looks so cool!
Hope you are feeling better, Doug. Thank you for such cool reviews.
not really into pickup trucks but a very cool review, thanks once again Doug!
@@mostamazing4298 You know you've made it when you're driving the Performance Truck's Disciple and spent $119,000.00!
Doug, I hope you feel better soon man. We heavily appreciate your effort on making content for us whilst being sick. Please take it easy.
I never dreamed I'd ever see a truck cost more than my rental properties!!! Things are really really ludicrous! Who buys these vehicles??? Love all of Doug's videos!!! He does a great job and gets into all these reviews!
Needs more exclamation points.
Apparently somebody with 5x the amount of rental properties 😂 or a kid who makes 100k a year and figures he can afford it at 29.5apr over 72 months 😅
@@samuelwise6265 Well, that explains a lot. El Paso, Texas is a poor city, yet every damn vehicle is a Raptor, especially new ones. Doesn't make sense, as most of the drivers are Latino dudes below 40. Often hear about "high payments"...
Plenty of stupid people out there 😂
@@nwezetx1 As a fellow El Paso resident, I agree. Raptors don't last more than 3 days at the dealerships. How people here are affording these payments with El Paso pay is insane to me.
Doug is a real one! Not feeling well yet still has the ambition to work!
Doug playing through it! Nice work! That truck is freaking sweet! Huge price tag but those power numbers are absurd
I still feel weird not seeing an SVT badge
Doug I love the content, thank you for working while sick… I hope you get better soon!
I think it's cool how subtly Ford differentiates between the Raptor and the Raptor R. The Raptor name is the top-of-the-line, cool truck, and it should feel like that, regardless of whether or not you got a factory-boosted engine. People who don't need extra power can buy a Raptor and feel like they are on top of the world even when parked next to someone with a Raptor R. I know for me if I had the money to spend on a Raptor with options, I'd feel more confident buying one when they are released, knowing that when the R finally comes around, I won't look like the guy who bought the second best.
Good point !
So you like lying to people brian?
I'm messing with you
They’re both boosted
No way, if im dropping 110k, I dont want everyone else to be able to swap about a couple badges and pretend its the same vehicle. People do that all the time
@RDA8191 So what if you dropped 110k ? Nobody told you to or asked you to, and besides it's fully loaded, the same would be the case if you fully load a base Raptor, only difference is the engine which adds on extra price. Other than that both are exactly the same because the base Raptor already comes beefed up to handle the v8 for the most part, it's nothing special
At 26:58 I love how how Doug lists two of the places that the Raptor would work well in: The Suburbs, and Texas. And he's absolutely correct!
yah till it goes where it was meant for and eats everything else on the trail/desert /dunes. Dunces
@@DarkKatzy013 pretty sure he was talking about things besides the desert race/off road courses it was built for. Tbh, he might as well just said the entirety of the southwestern USA.
Or Wadi crashing around the UAE or Oman, hahahahhah!
@@DarkKatzy013 most of these trucks will never see that. The worst they'll probably see is some gravel or dirt driveway.
The MPG point he makes is a good one. When I bought my garden variety Raptor, the Raptor R didn’t exist yet, but the TRX did. I got the Raptor because while the sound and power of the TRX are intoxicating, 9-12MPG hurts compared to 15-20m, and dropping $120 tank weekly vs. biweekly is something you notice. Doug getting 12 mixed on 37’s is actually kind of impressive.
So you buy an $80,000 performance truck but need to save money on gas? It's 2008 all over again.
@@bdan6954 One of the nice things about Raptors is that even before Covid broke the market, they hold their value remarkably well. Unless you plan on owning the vehicle until you die, you’re not spending 80K on it. The cost of the truck is basically the difference in what you buy it for and sell it, and considering I’ve owned my Raptor for a year and it hasn’t depreciated at all, it’s been a very cheap vehicle. When you view vehicle ownership in those terms, 2X fuel costs make it dramatically more expensive to own, because you’re not recovering any of that money.
Great video!
Thank you for the on screen measurement conversions 😊
doug sounds sick🥹🥹
Bro is making me want to clear my throat
Respect for Doug bringing out quality videos even sick

Epilepsy warning with the sunlight thru the sunroof lol. Great vid as usual, Doug! Badass truck.
Doug is the type of guy that doesn't skip a recording or upload even when he's sick) We appreciate you Doug)
Doug is such a trooper for getting us this review while sick! Here's to more quirks and features!
hes an Isuzu trooper
It’s a major source of income for him
My 2005 ram 5.7 V8 gets the same MPG, but with half the power 😂
I rode around in my grand pops 2020 F250 and that thing blew my mind. I though my mom’s Ford Edge was pretty big, that F250 is a behemoth. I’m long-legged and sitting in the rear seats of that crew cab I had so much room! My legs were spread out! My buddy has a 10th gen F150 4-door and I thought I had room in the back of that thing. Trucks are getting ever-bigger and me personally I just want an older Ford ranger, Nissan hardbody, Toyota pickup and I’ll be so happy.
I know Doug said that he is on such a tight schedule that he can’t reschedule any of these filming days but… damn
@@mostamazing4298 sus
I think these truck’s lack of differentiation from the regular Raptor in looks is a measure of how non-committed Ford is to the model type. They obviously made it as a counter to the TRX and I think assume it won’t be around long and thus they don’t want to spend a ton of extra money on exterior changes that they don’t feel they need to.
This is also probably the end of the line for factory gas brodozers. The next gen Raptor will probably have to be electric. Ford is likely shifting most of their development money into electric. The new Hummer has the same kind of excess, but it's electric. Ram has no money to develop EVs so who knows if there will be a TRX EV.
@@bwofficial1776 Not sure where tf you got that Ram has no money to develope EVs.
That was the whole point in getting gobbled up into "Stellantis." Ram's front man has even hinted at such coming, so yeah.
@@bwofficial1776 you just sound like a ford fanboy in denial, does just can’t compete and it shows in the price, TRX still wins. Also they’ve been developing and have teased the Ram EV and a TRX EV. However the TRX is slated to stay in production until at least 2026.
@@AsianNIGMA I don't own either so Idc lol. But tests have shown the TRX beats the Ford in a quarter mile by half. Rolling start the Ford wins. Off road the Ford took the lead for the win. So they're pretty much equally great trucks.
Crazy truck...and reviewer! Take care of yourself, Doug✊🏾
On the 12mpg… Will cost you only $175/mo more than a truck getting double that mileage 24mpg* (to use an extreme comparison). The buyer should be much more concerned with the $1,000+ per month in depreciation in first few years. But Doug is probably correct some buyers will shy away because gas price is overhyped in cost of ownership. *assuming 12k miles/yr, $4.2/gal
Nice shout out to Throttle House - another great YT channel (if not quite at the Doug Demuro level)….
"The pinnacle of irresponsible excess, and I love it!" I couldn't have said it better myself Dougie Fresh! .... I'll take mine in black please. 🤟
Thank you for sharing!
I get 13 mpg avg in my ‘12 SC’d tundra w/pulley and tune, 4.88 posi. Rides so nice. I’m good where I am. Nice Raptor and good review.
This truck would be really fun to drive between recalls.
Lmao
That's ironic since there's a page of tons of brand new/low mileage TRX's broken down due to bad quality control (some of them haven't even left the factory)
@@terrancebulong4573 Ram also builds a crappy truck and that’s ironic because….
He just filmed this like 4-5 days ago if I'm not mistaken...and it's not even Dougcember! He must have some really good videos waiting for us!
Doug. You pointed out all of those 8’s in the decals. But you missed the “V8” that was on the bed side (both sides). I saw it in frame when you were back there talking about the Red R decals. 6:30
Sick Doug makes ever Sicker Car Videos !!
So much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line! 😂😂
Yeah, I'm sure that won't be problematic after several thousand miles
Yes! The raptor we have all dreamed of! That MPG is the same as my 96 F150. If I'm doing highway driving, I get like 13 MPG, in the city, I get 9 MPG. No this is not a full tank, it's half a tank. Hope you feel better soon Doug!
Same as my 03 sorento. With the power of a 4cyl. 😅
Same as the 99 Ram I used to have, with a third the power but the same size engine
I guess we’ve finally found the worthy successor to the legendary 2012 Ford SVT Raptor
Same as a 2005 mercedes ML350 i used to drive. I was lucky to get 15mpg highway and 10 city
doug literally giving us a sick video
It’s cool to see that out of the 15 vehicles shown on your list, 5 Raptors are occupying one of the top 11 spots. 😊 With one being a Bronco. Yes! 😆
i think i like the ram trx still because of the look and it has more supercharger nosie
Love this truck. Wondering if this would be good for pulling a fifth wheel trailer.
Not the truck to pull a fifth wheel.
No
This is not the truck for that. If you want something similar to pull a 5th wheel, you could look at a F350 Tremor.
@@bigbarrettbob F350 will break the axel in half lol. Toyota Hilux would pull a fifth wheel AND F350 at the same time :D
@@goodfortune4317 that'd be great but there's none in the US which makes it irrelevent to like 80% of doug's audience
Excellent review
Doug did you get a new camera? That in car video looks so good!
Because the differences are so subtle your gunna see a lot of guys with regular Raptors trying to pose as Raptor R’s lol
I'm glad to see Doug appreciating the frontal "power bulge". I'm also used to people appreciating my frontal "power buldge". #BringAwareness
😂😂😘
I'm just finally noticing this, you know what could help with the fold down gear shifter? A column shifter, and it opens the console up for more storage, I understand the shifter for the raptor, but I'm talking more basic, like xlt applications
Thank you Doug for still posting while sick. Could you review the Honda Accord coupe v6?
I would like to see a 2003 Infiniti M45 review, Doug 😁. I just like it for some reason
Doug is a work horse! No cold is stopping him! Doug and nyquil
Really really thank you for conversation into conventional measurements units.
I remember when a car hitting 60mph in under 5 seconds was really something...now we have 3 ton pickup trucks doing it in the mid 3s...friggin nuts.
It truly is a wild time we live in. And I'm all here for it

@@rmp5s ha. I don't have anything that fast. Got an old Porsche and a lightly tuned jeep. Happy with what I got. It amazes me to see trucks move that fast. We even got Escalades moving to 60 in the 4 second range
@UCvtpKwP-elqzH-nTog6BK0A it is. My Porsche barely keeps up with mustangs running pump gas. It's more off a show car now. Bought it when I was 18 2 years ago. My jeep could keep up with it maybe to 90 mph
@@floof4444 Sounds like you're doing alright for a 20 year old. Keep rockin, my friend!
Thank you Doug, you just saved me $30k. I was debating the R and talking to my dealership about ordering but now i think I’d like to save the money and go with the “basic” Raptor (37 package). The power is nice, sound is unbelievable! But it’s not Porches GT3, so why have all that power if all you can do is go straight and be loud.
Cant take a prsche gt3 to tear up sand dunes though!!
Goodluck and congrats on your purchase either way!
Raptor is very nimble for being a truck had the chance to throw it around a Baja style off-road circuit there isn’t anything out there stock that’ll keep up with it
🤣
Did you get one? I think the regular one is the right choice, especially with the on board generator option. The R is cool, but the lack of so many options they absolutely could put on it, on top of the price just makes it seem too over the top without any benefit other than it being fast.
"This isn't like a hellcat" at 25:10
Lol yes it is. Insane power in a vehicle that should not have it, with tires (and in the hellcat's case, brakes) that should not be handling the power. It is exactly a hellcat, Doug
The throttle house mention makes me smile :D
I remember the amazing 2012 F150 Platinum with the beast V8.
Doug the kind of guy who puts metal in a microwave
Ya right. More like Doug the type of guy who puts his fork in the sink when he uses the microwave, just in case
Love your vids
Hey Doug! Awesome video and truck. Just a little heads up, in most "metric countries" we measure fuel economy in:
X kilometers/ 1 Liter.
I know we can easily convert the numbers you provide in X Liters/100 km, but more people might be used to that. Thx
Gotta respect Doug making this video while he's sick
It’s how he makes money, it’s not charity work lol
I honestly prefer the TRX over the Raptor R just because they put some effort into a new body kit to differentiate the top model. This is very similar to the base Raptor and the only way to effectively show the difference is an obnoxiously large graphics package.
Agreed
Yeah Im going to buy the TRX. Looks better in my opinion, especially the much more dramatic flared fenders.
Never really been into trucks but this is a cool all around truck. Love its motor.
I love the Quiet Mode feature. Especially when you're driving long-distance, road trips.
Like a breath of fresh air among all the electric vehicle reviews
Amen !!! When 80% of the Charging comes from FOSSIL Fuels!
You missed the little "V8" Easter egg in the graphic. It's hard to spot. I love the new Raptor R, just not in that color. I'm a big fan of the lack of differentiating body features because I think it offers a "sleeper" function because a TRX owner on the road may mistake it for a regular Raptor. I know saying "a regular Raptor" is absurd in itself lol
Saw it! Loved it! Reported it!

@@bwofficial1776 that's what I'm wondering
The graphics don't work as well in this color, either. RAPTO
You don't tune a pulley for low-end torque. You either change the pulley ratios and the blower spins faster or it spins slower, which either increases or decreases the amount of air pushed into the engine (AKA, increases or decreases boost). There's no way to tell that air to only increase torque figures.
It's very much more likely that the camshafts have different lift and duration.
Important to note is that on the side of the bed, amidst all of these 8's there is one "V" letter, so in one place it doesnt just say "8" but "V8"
Throttle House does a nice comparo - the TRX launches better because of the launch control, but the RaptoR is somewhat lighter and wins a roll race.
2 years to play catch up. The Ram makes this thing seem lame, and everyone knows it.
