Finally, a reviewer that actually drives the truck offroad at a decent clip! Most reviewers prefer the TRX because they drive it on pavement and do drag races. They don't realize that the HP diff isn't at all the deciding factor when you're on the trail. Weight, suspension setup and power delivery comes together to give you that confident feeling, it isn't just a motor.
@@AdulAbbas24 Hmmm... Because it makes more power, weighs 300 lbs less in the front of the truck (where it matters for handling), is faster and massively improves range? I truly don't understand people's obsession with a specific engine configuration vs the vehicle actually being better. Whatever floats your boat though.
Just put 1500 miles on a 2023 with the 35's. Mostly highway (75 mph) with about 15% winding mountain roads. Averaged 17.5 mpg over the whole trip. On one tank I went 578 miles and filled up when the range meter showed 44 miles remaining. The truck took 30.6 gallons. All being the same it still had a true 99 miles left in the tank, the gauge and the range-o-meter cut to empty and zero around 3 gallons remaining in the tank.
This truck just seems so much more well rounded than the trx. It may not have as much power, but for the intended purpose of offroading, it seems to outperform vastly.
I recently won a huge car crash settlement, i had the cash to buy any truck under $120k I test drove gen 1,2,3 and spoke to a few veteran master technicians who’ve worked on all 3, I went with a used Gen 1 for a few key reasons, #1 being gen 1 has the most robust and durable frame, gen 1 has the highest jump rating still. The suspension is non computer controlled. Gen 1 has less tech to fuss with. And lastly, the 6.2L is one of fords best engines they’ve produced. Extremely reliable, easy to work on. And if you want TRX power a roush supercharger is a oem fit. IF there is a V8 option for gen 3 then i might consider switching Personally i think ford should use the flat plane v8 from the mustange gt350 High rpm is your beat friend in sand/ baja conditions
The ford raptor is definitely a capable and fun off-roader, but due to the obvious prerunner/trophy truck development influence, simple parts end up being really heavy and overall they are difficult to work on (I am speaking from experience)
Fantastic demo of Raptors capabilities on and off-road. Honest evaluation camera can’t deny. I look forward to ordering the exact model you presented. Perfect all around monsters
Outstanding review as always. It gets annoying hearing the usual crowd screaming for a V8. The TRX was fun, but the MPG was so awful I literally couldn’t stop getting gas all the time. This Raptor is hands down better IMO. I now have the Gen3. Love it.
0:46 - BFGoodrich, not "Goodyears." 1:12 - You could NEVER get a RAPTOR with a 6.5' ("longer") bed. All RAPTORs have 5.5' beds. Until RAM completes Baja with a stock unit, the TRX is still an off-road joke.
Just bought a Raptor, getting it in a few days. I’ve been on TH-cam checking out videos this one was great! I believe the Raptor is the best all around vehicle hands down, even over the R for those that drive them daily or even nearly daily and or take road trips. The R is wild and I’d love to have one but honestly wouldn’t want to daily it often or take it on road trips. It’s huge cost would make me want to baby it and it’s lower than snake belly MPG would keep me from driving distance often. The TRX is the same with the MPG but it’s price point is near the same as a 3.5 Raptor. The deciding factor for me was first looks and secondly I have over a half dozen Fords and only 2 older Dodges so I’m used to the Fords controls and functions, really though it was the looks. Great video, keep it up!
Someone who actually uses one of these vehicles for what they are made for. Most people see a high speed desert runner and put them in 4 low and take them rock crawling or go 2 mph over a tiny rock
I dislike my dad cuz he left, but i understand he trys to be a father in his own way even though he isn't the best. But still I wish one day I can take him to the dealership as a surprise and hand him the keys to one of those trucks saying happy fathers day or happy birthday.
I am on my 2nd Gen2 Raptor coming from V8 GM trucks….I specifically bought the raptor b/c of the HO 3.5 ecoboost. Has a forged crank & rods shared w/ Ford GT- in fact much of the engine is shared w/ that supercar, I don’t doubt that 5.2 SC’d V8 will sound/perform decent….but ever notice Ford has REALLY stepped away from V8 engines? They literally don’t have ONE in their luxury Lincoln lineup….compare that to Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW etc. they sell way more EB F150s than 5.0s, there’s a reason Ford doesn’t employ their V8 very often anymore, & it ain’t b/c they think it’s super reliable & efficient lol!!! These Gen3 Raptors are dynoing w/ more TQ to the rear wheels than they’re rated @ the crank!!!! Stock trucks running 91 octane have hit 520 TQ to the rear wheels. A tune alone can bump power to 550/650TQ (at the motor) the thing is like a 4wd GTR on 37”s lol
I have a 2015 Ford Escape that I am madly in love with but I know it’s not going to last forever this is definitely on the list of possible choices for my next car.
Ok for a second I didn’t believe him when he said the seat were comfortable because I know a lot of people moved away from ford because of they’re uncomfortable seats.
People really think you need a supercharged V8 off-road! No! Naturally apirated V6 engines and V8 engines are perfectly fine, and Ford NAILED it with this twin turbo V6 giving it that extra boost! The TRX is badass and I would buy it, but not to take it off-road.

Lol yes those reviews when they drive the Trx and base everything off 0-60 time.
Try is still better though and why would they put a v6 in the raptor

I agree, the crowd screaming for a V8 lack the foresight that this raptor is incredibly capable and borderline elite off and on road.
And they said it makes 5kilometers per litter that TRX truck.
Finally someone that actually pushes a truck on what it's meant for.
@U Betcha well sometimes you gotta make them turns lol.

Fantastic review of the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor, MPH. I enjoyed the RIDE. PS - Your reviews stand out from the crowd! Well done my friend.
Thanks Hector!

the SVT version has over 700hp check it out made by henessy.
@@MintCubaN ford will have a factory v8 this fall
@@MintCubaN svt? Lol. That was fords special team way back when.. Hennessy is not Ford. Get your facts straight.
It has more than enough power for it's jobs. The only place you can use full 702hp or 450hp is drag race

Raptor never disappoints and man that smooth throttle response🔥🔥🔥everything about this beast is just beautiful 😍😍
Its a v6 it’s garbage
@@30minforasn I didn't really think so, guess I just love raptors😂 but you're right, this thing ain't as beast compared to other raptors!
This car is just pure gold i love it good review man can you make some more vids on this car if possible 😊
I made a few POV drives - check them out!
Truck*
Driving a 2021 F-150 Platinum for a day or two, I can say it's an awesome truck but my God, that turning radius is WIIIIIIIIDDDDDEEEEE
If someone made me want a raptor its you. Ford sponsor this man. God bless!
Awesome! My dream truck. Your reviews are the best! Keep it up! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks! 👍
wow that 10 speed auto at 75mph it's only 1900rpm, and that off road footage, thanks a lot.
That was a lot of fun! Thank you for showing us the on-road and off-road impressions of this great truck 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback

The fuel economy of that TRX would get old pretty quick, yes. I think I averaged 8 mpg when I had it for review. Enjoy your Raptor!
how about a option ? i would NEVER buy this truck without a V8.
My favourite 4x4 ever made
I have not been keeping up with the market.. wow.. 700HP in a pickup truck straight from the factory is mindblowing... Compare that to 10 years ago...
I love the ecoboost turbo V6…. Can’t get enough of that exhaust note….vroom, vroom, vroom.
V6 garbage
I’m still waiting to see a blue raptor with the blue seats 🥶

You are correct. The ram an as nice power and sound. Off road wise, the Raptor makes the ram look sad.
Curt hennig?! Do u look to correct mistakes in every TH-cam video?
Epic and entertaining... And not riddled with ads.... And oh honest!!!

actually Baja mode is even better than sport cause it keeps the turbos spooled up and in boost
Just discovered this channel, absolutely love the reviews, keep going mate!
Welcome! Glad you like the content - more to come
Love this review..🔥😍
Testing a Raptor at Holy Jim? LOL but in all seriousness, I had no idea they opened it back up.
Awesome review ..definitely getting this truck next year
Thats the best 0 to 60 i've ever heard
Haha i believe i can fly✈ 😂 😂 😂 at last u flew🛫😁😁
Nice vid. Your a rare few that does a review of an off road truck... well.... off road.
Definitely buying this one now
NICE REVIEW
Glad you enjoyed it!
I Really Like The Interior View ❤
Too expensive for me but looks amazing! Great review. Guess I'll stick to a car until I can afford something like this.
The TRX interior looks better to me. Though I like the exterior of the Raptor
Raptor just looks cheap
@@zachwilson7061 i care about the appearence, not if it looks cheap or not, it may look cheap, but it likely isn't
great video bro!!! amazing truck
Man im ready for that raptor R tho 😎
The day that V8 hits the dealers, im buying it!
Anybody waiting for an R just because of the V8 is a mall crawler and you shouldn’t be looking at a Raptor in the first place

This title tells me he doesn’t know what a trophy truck is
My dream car
What a beauty
I need one sooner😍
Nice driving
Cool video milesperhr
Thanks for this review!
My pleasure!
Great video, but a little too quick on the camera movements. Mostly when you get close up to items.
Keep up the good work!
I am in LOVE
dream car❤️❤️❤️
Its a v6. Its trash
Love this
I need this truck in Alaska where I can get real off road! Lol My Ford Fusion AWD can go on those nicely maintained dirt roads…lol
Buy for me I take it! You convinced me Ford Raptor is the best p/u truck on the market, just don't brake it , befor giving it to me.
As someone who knows both a raptor and Trophy Truck very well, you can’t call a raptor a Trophy Truck. They are awesome trucks though!
Wish i could buy this but im only 13 years old i hope in 2050 they still sell this and not flying cars
Un muy genial vídeo. Sigue trayéndonos más contenido como este.
Tienes un nuevo suscriptor. Saludos.
Thank you man
You're welcome!
I hope you try climbing the mountain and the muddy roads to test the power of the car
I can sell my kidney for it, but it ain't worth $82k.
I'm surprised how fast you can go on Trabuco Canyon with the Raptor. The ruts on that road usually shake up my Titan pretty hard.
iii love this car
I agree with that voice you have to use 😂
😂
i'd love to see someone figure out how to stow the shifter when driving to use that big table
not now but soon
Awesome Review I’m Sold ima buy me a Raptor
wish I had a pet raptor
I was supposing like I am in Gta 5 lol
It's my dream
Can I come over and drive this stunning car
?! I think I need to make a nice holiday to the 🇺🇸 out from Holland 🇳🇱
Rock sliders..... not even close. They break in half if you put any weight from the truck on them.
Yikes! 😳 Good to know, thanks
The 2020 Raptor costs $200,000+ in Australia.
Godayumm 😂
Would love to have that in manual transmission
I like in that neighborhood!
Nice car...

Ok for a second I didn’t believe him when he said the seat were comfortable because I know a lot of people moved away from ford because of they’re uncomfortable seats.
Interesting. I found them super comfortable.
Just to let you know whenever you put the car in sport mode and actually waste is more cash
the fact these don't get a s/c voodoo or tt coyote or something is beyond me
Ope nevermind, called that one 😂
Very nice ❤️❤️. Car
the new ford raptor 2022 is cool but the 2018 raptor is 100% more cooler
Nice review bro, Thanks a lot, is’t BfGoodrich or Goodyear? 00:45
Bfg
BF Goodrich. Thanks for watching!
Australia only has Ranger, it looks sucks compared to this
offroad is not in the video, only straight road
This dude sounds like Luke, Tate's cousin
ay this was filmed in irvine i think
The Side Step made of steel now and can be used as a rock slider? You sure?
The extended cab gen 2 and gen 1st didn’t have a longer bed. Same bed size.
Yeah it was a short truck and looked sick!! Eventhough I own crew cab short bed. But I like the look of extended Cab.
