    Throwing around 'Raptor Killer' is a bit silly.

      I don’t disagree and I enjoyed this one off road, but it seems to have had the intended outcome.

      Its Not when you can Literally throw a Whipple Super-Charger on the V8 which is a Crate Engine (Support for Years on End), Achieve 700hp, apply your own Suspension set up and still be under what a Raptor Costs. Yeah... thats called a Raptor "PRICE" Killer.

      It’s almost mandatory to include “raptor” in the title of every truck review regardless of the make, model or category.

    Just got this truck last week! Same package and same color, only I got the V8. I like it a lot and enjoy driving it. My dislike is that the engine turns off when you stop at a light

    Eco boost isn’t as fuel efficient as they may say, it’s a smaller engine hence works harder, I’d opt for the V8 in some cases gets better mileage…

    • @CsalbertCs
      @CsalbertCs หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You have to get higher octane for more hp and better fuel economy in the ecoboost engines, it's mentioned in the manual. The current 2.7L is definitely the best built and engineered engine though, I'm a V8 guy but the graphite iron block is insanely tough, it's tougher than the old cast iron blocks.

    • @mdgeist472
      @mdgeist472 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Both the 5.0 and 2.7 are less desirable now that Ford put wet belt driven oil pumps. The 3.5 is now the stand out.

    • @TKO593
      @TKO593 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A lot of it comes down to the tune. I have a Ranger Raptor with the 3.0tt ecoboost that was getting 17ish mpg stock. I did the Ford ProCal tune and gained 2mpg. If they had a dedicated eco tune Im sure that it could improve.

    It’s crazy that you can’t get these trims in a 6.5’ bed config. This model in your review was formally known as the “Rattler”, now 201A in the US. Closest spec for 6.5’ would be an XLT, FX4 and add black appearance items after which is more money.

    I want to buy a 2024 Ford F-150. It is recommended when buying a naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 engine or buying a 3.5 turbo. Your opinion is important. I need your help. I will follow the channel to find out what’s new. I will buy during this month and I would like a ground gear, but the problem is that there is no ground gear in the Middle East at the moment.

  • @jerrywagner7346

    I like that spec truck. Just to clarify your statement about the 3.5 being Canada exclusive, it's available in every trim in the US except the STX. I have no idea how that makes sense to Ford, some of their option/package combo bundling restrictions are mindboggling.

    If i could get it with power seats, seat memory I would've bought one. The Manual seats suck and cause me discomfort and pain. So no go. Leg room is 10 outa 10 though. V8 engine, awesome. Dual exhaust with some aggression in engine report, even better. Makes me wanna drive it and not care of fuel cost. Screen size, center console, Awesome everything I want and electronic transmission with old school but modern hand crank on column. Superb. But Due to discomfort on seats. I cant. Its the same seat design from my 2008 F150 STX and it sucked then and sucks now. No reason for that. Want power seats? You need to upgrade the entire trim level. plus 10K min more. No. The seat is angled up and overtime. Hurts your legs. And no adjustment.

    The purchase price may be significantly less than a raptor but the true cost of ownership will be similar as raptors hold their value better.

    • @paulpellico3797
      @paulpellico3797 หลายเดือนก่อน

      IMO...true cost should have nothing to do with resale.
      i have always kept all my vehicles or passed them down to family or friends.
      so TO ME, true cost is the true cost to purchase and maintain, not re-sell.

    The truck itself is not perfect, the Ecoboost engines are disastrous combination when these truck ages. Ford should have placed that Coyote 5.0 engine in this price range. The Canadian buyers are getting the short end of the stick with those Ecoboost engine. With extreme climates in Canada, Ford should have placed the Coyote so it will more reliable.
