    A Raptor without a V8 is like a T-Rex without teeth!

      +lapamful- while I acknowledge that the numbers don't lie (as in, this 6 banger makes more power)...it is hard to accept. Nothing sounds like a v-8. My recommendation would be for Ford to use an EB v-8...then we'll all be happy (and have even more power). Perhaps that is what they are planning for the future...small improvements over time with the EB 5.0 for the 2019?

    • @Stuka87
      @Stuka87 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, because the number of cylinders is obviously the single most important part of a vehicle :rollseyes:

      I wish all auto manufactures would ditch the twin turbo v6. sounds terrible turbos are hot and how am i supposed to turbo this if it already has a turbo!? haha I know I wont ever buy one.

  • @mattjohn3629
    @mattjohn3629 7 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    so many people say the ecoboost is shit. I work for a construction company and we own three of them, they out perform the v8s in towing and fuel millage so before you say they're shit, drive one

    • @fishgill0890
      @fishgill0890 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Agreed. My work truck is a 2015 3.5 Ecoboost F-150. It outperforms every V8 truck we have here (Chevy and other Ram's) while also averaging 3mpg better than the others.

    • @mikehaley6389
      @mikehaley6389 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Based on what?

    • @marcuss5554
      @marcuss5554 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Matt John I wouldn't put my money out on a truck that sounds like a toyota, my 2015 Sierra with the 5.3L gets 26 mpg plus I have an exhaust and it sounds amazing so I'll keep buying what is proven and tested

    • @fishgill0890
      @fishgill0890 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mike/Connor Haley Based on anything you can measure. More low end torque, better MPG, towing capacity. Name it, the Ecoboost is better.

    • @fishgill0890
      @fishgill0890 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Mark TheCarGuy Sound doesn't make a good truck. If it sounds like a toyota, that's fine. You realize Toyota makes the most reliable vehicles on the planet right? Like it or not, smaller turbocharged engines are the future for every type of vehicle.

  • @bucksshots3109
    @bucksshots3109 7 ปีที่แล้ว +94

    most people complaining on here couldn't afford a brand new truck anyways let alone a raptor. Go find something else to cry about

      @JUKEBOXX1990 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @gianniludo

      but it would fall apart and it wouldn't be covered by the warranty

    • @ajl9491

  • @therealbajan522
    @therealbajan522 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You can never forget about about a v8, dream on.
    The 10 speed is brutal though,
    changes very quickly.

  • @coureurdebois
    @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    the funniest part is that the 3.5L TTV6 is larger and heavier than the 5.0 and it completely dwarfs the ultra compact / light weight 6.2L from GM.

    • @chrisvela5462
      @chrisvela5462 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well the 6.2L from GM is a single can pushrod motor so of course

    • @MarcMonson
      @MarcMonson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      bold statement to make with 0 proof..lets see how it plays out cotton

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      bolt? 0 proof? TFL's own ike gauntlet tests prove my statement... 3.3 MPG vs 4.0

    • @MarcMonson
      @MarcMonson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      yes we know the 2.7 destroyed the 6.2 on the hill. what i was inquiring about was your comparison of weight and size to the new engine and the 6.2

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      *clearly you have no idea what you're talking about* you do realize they choose the 6.2L... as the winner... did you even watch the comparison / series on the Ike 2.0 and original?

  • @marinoint
    @marinoint 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Finally, a review without long & loud music! This is what a car review should be, just focus on the cars, not the music! Really appreciate it.

  • @coureurdebois
    @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    man, the eco boost is already not known for reliability and get far lower MPG under load / real world when compared to N/A V8's. : / but ford keeps trying to push the TTV6 onto their truck buyers. they should have put the 5.2L Voodoo V8 in here, would have been amazing and likely got better reliability + real world MPG.

    • @justonpreble4083
      @justonpreble4083 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      My Transit van has the TTV6 with 3.73 rear end. The thing is a rocket ship and its not this H.O. version.
      The Voodoo supercharged would be awesome as an option .
      I'd personally like the Super Cab with a bench in the front and a 3.7 Naturally Aspirated V6 mated to the new 10 speed transmission. And the Ford version of the RAM Box. Those side bins on the RAM's are awesome.

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i just want the N/A 5.2 :(

    • @MarcMonson
      @MarcMonson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      go for it. i guess torque isnt important to you....

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      the last 6.2L in the raptor did just fine with a high revving engine and lower torque.

    • @MarcMonson
      @MarcMonson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      neither of us mentioned the 6.2. you only mentioned the 5.2

  • @Accurize2
    @Accurize2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    3 years later...I think it’s safe to say, despite the engineer’s prediction at 7:45, that everyone most definitely did not forget about the V8 the second they drove it. The second they drove it they were reminded how much they missed the extra 2 cylinders.

  • @TrailPass
    @TrailPass 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good work Roman! It was nice to see all of the skid plates and the view from under the truck! To me, this truck really is an entirely different truck from the first Raptor. The Raptor that TFL has been using the past few years is a cool, old school, off-road muscle truck, while the new one still has impressive numbers and capabilities, but it is a different beast! I thought you calling it more of a sports car is very fitting! I can't wait to see all of your other tests off-road with this truck!

  • @pierrespoutnik

  • @seraphimvalkyrin4543
    @seraphimvalkyrin4543 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I guess I'm the only one that likes the sound and doesn't mind the V-6, as long as it performs, who cares what it has. If anyone has seen The Grand Tour it's sad that most Americans actually do act like the American driver they have on the show. Hating anything that doesn't have a V8 regardless of what it can do because Merica!..... (and yes I'm American)

  • @TheWillWagnerShow

  • @mark7067
    @mark7067 7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I love the stupid arguments people are making for Ford's decision not to at least offer one of their V8 engines...
    Yes, the new Raptor might sound like crap, but it puts down better drag times and will be more fuel efficient..... because on-road performance and fuel economy is what Raptor buyers are most concerned with.

    • @giovanni4436
      @giovanni4436 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I live beyond my means and enjoy racing old ladies in their Toyota Camrys on a daily basis. Don't tell me what I should be more or less concerned with, you!!!!

    • @hermanjohnson9180
      @hermanjohnson9180 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chris C The raptor is essentially the sports version of the f150. It assumes you are less concerned with it.

    • @phatfool33
      @phatfool33 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Chris C were you being sarcastic? The Ecoboost are great engines. But dude you are buying the baddest off road truck. Why would you want it to sound like shit. Raptor buyers want that v8 sound. Who cares about mpg? Your buying a raptor!!

    • @thirstypilgrim97
      @thirstypilgrim97 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      He's being sarcastic... most Raptors buyers don't want a sports car that is a truck, they want an off-road beast ... like the power-wagon.

    • @everydayoutdoorsadventures7644
      @everydayoutdoorsadventures7644 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're buying a truck for off road purposes why should you be concerned with on road capabilities? The old raptors are in my opinion the better ones but that's just me. After this video with mixed driving he only got 1.4 mpg better than the 6.2 that's not much. Toss in a K$N in the 6.2 and I'm sure you'll catch up a little.

  • @jaycarden2610
    @jaycarden2610 7 ปีที่แล้ว +70

    • @hollowaang5284

  • @channeljay4573
    @channeljay4573 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have been waiting for this TFL Truck review for about 4 months now! Thank you guys for putting out great content and awesome reviews. I have my '17 Raptor in Shadow Black ordered with the 801A equipment package, Forged aluminum bead lock capable wheels, spray in bed liner, and navigation package. I'm now just waiting for it to be built by Ford. I was initially going to purchase a TRD pro Tundra, but despite what seems to be massive disappointment regarding the 3.5 tt EcoBoost engine, that was a big selling point for me. I know the V8 sound will surely be missed, but I will gladly make that trade for the added performance this new model has. TFL Truck is one of the main reasons why i chose the new Ford Raptor over other truck options. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see part 2 tomorrow!

    • @T4nkcommander
      @T4nkcommander 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, another Shadow Black! I'm a SCAB, 802A, bedliner, tailgate, heated steering, and tailgate step.
      Agree with everything, now if they'll just build and ship our trucks!

    • @channeljay4573
      @channeljay4573 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nice choices! It's easy to skyrocket that bottom line so i tried to stay middle of the road with a few things that i wanted extra. I have my order # and dealer code, but unfortunately no VIN until Ford pulls the order to begin building. Hopefully they take care of us soon!

      @T4nkcommander 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @RuggedSportsmen
      @RuggedSportsmen 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude the v8 was so much faster than a "standard" f150. Unless it was the big ecoboost in the f150 which was faster. And also in no way shape or form a "standard" f150

    • @tylerboyer7824
      @tylerboyer7824 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      its a truck not a fucking drag car. its a offroad truck at that. its point isn't to go fast but to go offroad and it does that very well. the v8 is more than just sound for me. its about the low end that v8's have over the EB

    • @yama426
      @yama426 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      tyler boyer 510ftlbs @3500rpm is better than any V8 right now. GM 6.2 does 460@4100, Ram 6.4 429@4000.

  • @ledzeppelin27
    @ledzeppelin27 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I always enjoy Roman's reviews. he's such an upbeat guy, it's infectious. The new Raptor is an awesome truck. I don't see why they don't offer the V6 and the V8. The 6.2 is a great engine. why not add it to the lineup?

    I own a 2014 Raptor and love it but if it could loose 500 pounds and become more powerful... Seems like everyone is forgetting the truck is more than what comes from the tail pipe. I am the first to say they sound like a toy and not like mine with the Corsa exhaust but the sound of fast and the sound of powerful is changing. Look at all the people that are buying current 3.5 liter engines as the upgrade, they are here to stay. I am curious as to how Roman your getting 14 mpg in yours as I sit here parked I am looking at 11.2 average over 42,264 miles. Living in Dallas mine doesn't see much off-roading. Here is a better question for you Roman after spending time in the new one and after owning the previous model which would you choose?

      Hi so the order was pulled last month and I got a serial number two weeks ago the build date was to be 12/12/16 but it was brought forward a week, ETA is last week of December but may fall back into Jan 2017. It seems as all the early orders are arriving around the same time certain options like the carbon fibre trim is delaying orders I understand. I had to chase the dealer but Ford were not releasing any info on builds or ETA's until a week 10 days ago. I would call the dealer they should have the info on your order.

    • @pierrespoutnik

    • @Stuka87
      @Stuka87 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Lag is nearly imperceptible with the 10sp auto. The only time you can notice any lag with an ecoboost is with a manual trans, and even then there is very little. But even with that, the 3.5L EcoBoost has more mid range torque than an NA V8. And nobody is going to rock crawl a Raptor. its huge size and IFS puts an end to that. But if you did, lag isnt an issue anyway, as you would be in low range. And in low range, you could have a tiny engine in there and crawl just fine.

    • @LeatherandLuxuryCarsd

    @101alan1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So, by not putting the 6.2 V8 they improved mpg from 11 city/ 16 hwy to 15 city/ 18 hwy. Unfortunately it's not an apples to apples comparison due to the lighter weight, better aerodynamics, and four extra gears in the new transmission. Since fuel economy improved around ten percent or so in 2015 compared to the 2014 models and the ten speed only improved mpg by one, I'd suspect that the 6.2 V8 could match the new mpg figures. A carryover 6.2 V8 from the 2014 Raptor swapped in probably could get the same hwy mpg as this Raptor, city mpg would probably be around one mpg less. That's all also not taking into consideration the fact that ecoboost engines have not been able to reliably achieve the advertised mpg in a good majority of test and reviews. A quick search shows an Edmund's mpg comparison with the 5.0 V8 tying in real world with the 2.7 Ecoboost. I fear that Ford is attempting to get rid of the V8 options all together and force everyone to get the Ecoboost. On the bright side, with the new Raptor coming out, I'll be able to scoop up a used Raptor cheaper....

    • @TFLtruck
      @TFLtruck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +SRT2014 thanks for the thoughtful comment. Ford also points out that the 3.5L is a much more modern engine as it is aluminum vs the Iron block V8, directed injected and turbo charged vs normally aspirated.

    • @Sercumference
      @Sercumference 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Fast Lane Truck Yeah I guess Ford didn't consider that fuel economy is like the last thing someone buying a truck like the raptor cares about. Should have went with a v8 or ya know reinvent the wheel and make a better v8 put that R&D department to work ya know.

      My wife drives a 2015 Edge Sport Ecoboost and I drive a 2016 SRT Charger 392. I get better gas mileage than she does. And when we go anywhere she wants to take my car because it sounds like a beast. Even women are attracted to the sound of the V8 is my point. I'm not saying I don't enjoy switching up and driving the Edge now and then because it really does make good power. But I'm an American Muscle guy and as much as I would love to own a Raptor, I would go with the Dodge Ram before over paying for this new V6.

    Thank you Roman! That was a great 1st drive review. Were you able to confirm that the Raptor will be a full production vs a limited production vehicle? Will there be 2017 Raptors produced beyond the initial, meager dealer allocation #'s that have prompted most Ford dealers to bump prices $5K to $10K over MSRP? You commented on the expected body roll when cornering and the spongy feel during braking which was great feedback. How linear is the travel through turns, any rear wheel slide or hop as I've experienced in 2016 F150's? How's the overall ride, comfortable for the long haul? I look forward to your off-road review next! I hope you can get the Ford guys to answer production questions as Raptor availability seems to be a huge question mark. Why bother getting excited about something you can't get a hold of right!

And let's not talk about when those $400 dollar big boost tunes start coming out. Want to get crazy for around $2K? Throw in a little enchilada with intake and exhaust and we're probably talking 650HP Raptors hunting around. You know that most people are going to at least tune the new Raptor. Remember, the Tundra SC is $6K performance kit that you still need to install.

    Great video Roman! I noticed that the Raptor you tested had the regular wheels. Which wheels do you recommend between the regular wheels or the bead lock capable wheels?

      Shy G i got a 2014 raptor it's the same thing , i got the wheels which you can convert it to beadlock but am 90% driving on the highway, but if you're an extreme offroader beadlocks are great but not for highway use

    I know, that after one or two years they will offer also great american V8. The sales numbers of that ecoboost after one year will be the same like 7 years ago with the 5.4L V8. Americans want big engines like 6.2L BOSS. And Trump already sent an application for V8´s to the new Raptor. Because "Make America Great Again". Back to days in 2011 when the Raptor got 6.2L V8. The best thing will be, if the customers will be able to choose between 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 Ecoboost and little bit upgraded 6.2L V8. Please Ford, do it.

      i wouldnt mind that. as a option the ecoboost is good but not as a ram it down our throats

      tyler boyer I'm also interested about RAM Rebel TRX. I hope that the TRX will come to the production during the next year. Engine is the most important thing for me. Big American V8's are extremely powerfull, reliable and made for long time. God Bless America. Peace!

      Paul Maly yeah the trx would be cool and chrysler would be stupid not to build it in some way. maybe with the 6.4 or the 5.7. like a upgraded version of the rebel

      tyler boyer I looking forward What decision will Chrysler do. I hope, because TRX with 6.2 supercharged HEMI will be great rival for the Raptor.

    • @tylerboyer7824
      @tylerboyer7824 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Paul Maly i will definitely buy it or the power wagon have not decided yet. i think the 6.2 supercharged will drive the price way up compared to the 6.4 or the 5.7

    The engine sounds like a mid size crossover. In other words, this sounds like pos.

    I want it. So ridiculous yet so awesome. Almost enough to swap my STI and Tacoma for.
