I’m going to walk you through what this thing is like to live with and how it behaves on the road before handing over the keys to Paolo to test the offroad credentials at Road America. So let’s dive into that last thing I just mentioned
Yes, it’s genuinely quick - no, it’s not as fast as the TRX and no it doesn’t sounds as good
But that TRX has only been out for the last 2 years and before that thing came out, no one was complaining about the Raptor’s power
And it’s not just the power - the biggest and really only complaint people had about the gen 2 was the lack of exhaust sound, but Ford has fixed that here
They added a trombone loop in the exhaust runners to make them equal length so the tone is improved, but not only that you’re assaulted with spool noise in the cabin..there’s just so much theater here!
Yes, it’s the same 3.5TTv6 under the hood as last gen and it makes the same 450 hp and 510 lbft and it still goes through the same 10-speed transmission, but all those things have been revisited and optimised for this third gen. The gearbox is quicker and more aggressive, the throttle response is sharper, and you have nearly as much customizeability as you would in a sportscar
Of course you have Fox dampers on all 4 corners, but they’re newer, bigger, and stronger. In fact pretty much everything from the shocks to the knuckles have been beefed up for this third gen.
This Raptor no longer has leaf spring suspension in the back, they moved to a multi-link, spring and damper setup in the rear, and if you don’t understand why that’s a big deal let me walk you through it
A multilink suspension in the rear of the truck adds for more sophistication, more ways in which the suspension can compress and rebound to soak up bumps or impacts. You get greater rear articulation, but you also get a more sophisticated and more luxurious ride
And a more luxurious ride is exactly right. This is a body-on-frame, heavy, off-road truck with 35 inch BFG K02s, but somehow on the street here it manages to feel and ride like a Mercedes!
It gets a claimed 16 mpg combined
Payload maxes out at 1400 lbs
And towing maxes out as 8200 lbs
Steel front bumper, recovery hooks, lights, bash plates underneath
35 inch tires (there are the standard size)
Running boards, dont hang down (Frontier)
12 inch clearance (13.1 with 37 in tires)
Only comes in supercab configuration
5.5 foot bed
Power liftgate is the first i’ve seen going up
Tie downs, no rails, but zone lighting again
And then my favorite thing - pro power 2kW generator
There’s only one word to describe this. Huge.
Talk overall design (familiar, square, and rugged feeling)
Talk materials (suede, denim, textures, plastic knobs, metal paddles)
Talk comforts (heated wheel, heated & cooled seats, no massage)
Blind spot monitor on the a-pillar not your mirror (very Audi)
Memory seat (3)
The orange American flag that you see every time you open the door
Buttons for your mirror lights and bed lights
Massive full digital cluster (great graphics, quick, great resolution, totally custom)
HUGE steering wheel (noon marker, magnesium paddles)
Driver assist suite on the left
Custom drivetrain stuff on the right
Pedals will move to you
Trailering controls (steering assist, brake gain, cameras)
4x4 controls (2H, 4H, 4LO, 4A)
Locking rear diff
Drive mode selector (how many modes, what are they)
Above infotainment randow buttons for traction control, camera, trail control
Right of infotainment you have a 12 volt and and 120V
Under infotainment you have physical buttons for everything
Underneath that you have a slider with wireless charging, outlets, etc
Beneath that folding gear selector, clever phone slot, cup holders (too small)
Deep center bin with the fold out tray thing (nice)
Bang & olufson sound is great
Now tackle infotainment:
Insanely big screen
Sync 4, over the air updates
Wireless ACP & AA
Zone lighting
Pro power onboard (2Kw)
Cameras are amazing
No sunroof, no HUD
Rear seats are huge
They fold up to get out of the way
There’s a box system there
There’s also the batteries for the pro power system
Heated rear seats
USB-A, USB-C, and 120v outlet
Power rear window
Approach: 31
Departure: 23.9
Breakover: 22.7
Ground Clearance: 12 inchs and with the 37s its 13.1in!
Front suspension travel 14.0-inch (standard), 13.0-inch (w/optional 37-inch tires)
Rear suspension travel 15.0-inch (standard), 14.1-inch (w/optional 37-inch tires)
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Would you have this Raptor over a TRX?
lol no
Yes
Overall better daily driver would be the Raptor just for the gas mileage. I’ve even heard the Raptor based on weight of better off road and the TRX is a bit heavier.
Cool trick: you can lift up the tailgate just a little bit and the motor will kick in and close the rest of the way for you. This thing is full on a luxury sports car trophy truck. Best vehicle ever made, period.
Center caps remind me .. as kids.. we had to get out to lock front hubs before going through the rough stuff. ..back in 80s.
As a 3rd gen owner I finally broke mine in after 1000 miles and damn this thing is a beast in sport mode!!!
😈💪
How is she driving now? What’s your mileage?
My Gen 3 does have trail turn assist. Its just not the easiest to find. I believe its in features.
Thought so tks
You need to put this truck on a lift to appreciate the Baja inspired suspension and chassis. It’s on a different level than any other 1/2 ton pickup truck currently on the market.
Just got my 3rd gen after waiting 7 months for it to come in..Sold my 18 before this one came. No comparison. This truck drives like a luxury car!
Congrats on your new truck!
Is there a difference between 37” and 35” in riding comfort?
@@dentistaf3897 Inever drove a 37 package.. Although I'm sure the bigger tires would affect the ride quality and gas mpg..
@@dentistaf3897bigger tires = more rubber to absorb the bumps and pot holes. My Raptor 37 drives like a dream. I don’t think mpg get affected that much. I get around 14-16 city and 18-20 highway.
The gen 2 is a little bumpy in the rear end so that’s a big rear upgrade 👍
Biiiiggggg upgrade
Pro tip. Close the window all the way BEFORE going through the mud puddle at the end of the video.
oh yeah, Paolo learned from that one.....
@@dwnshft 😂
When you're using the maps even on android auto, the map steps show up in the dash to tell you when and how far to turn. So you get the steps of your drive in the dash but no map. Agree that would be nice.
Get mine in 2 weeks. Super excited!
It’s a nice truck but, farm trucks are put through far tougher tests on a daily basis. I’m sure if you had better weather and a tougher track it would have still been a good review. Nice truck, good video guy.
👍
Dodge has been trying to catch the Raptor for years with their “Raptor Killer” business and now the TRX. They’re not even close. Chevy can’t even try.
I agree, the Trx has power over the raptor only. The Chevy Zr2 is a joke. They should be ashamed. Love my 17 Raptor.
The other thing that no one is talking about with the Ram's and the Chevys is reliability. If I'm spending 70k on a pickup I want it to last 20 years and 200k. I have friends who are mechanics and as they say thank God for Ram and Chevy because they are always in the shop. Yeah it would be nice to have 700 HP but honestly how much of that can you use? I am also concerned that 700 HP on a Ram frame is asking for disaster.
FP = Ford Performance, GN03 = Generation three (gen 3)
Well that makes sense 👌 thanks
I got one. best ruck ever
By far the best in depth review of the is next gen FORD Raptor...nothing else competes...Go FORD! Support this channel and FORD...We need to support USA made and where your dollar goes...keep your dollars here in the USA....Foreign makes....go to foreign banks. Thank you for bringing this video.
thanks Scott, we appreciate the love!
Great review like always
Thank you 🙏
Nicely made episode idol! Thanks for sharing this update video. Done coloring your home. Shoutout! #MOVEONTV
I have the 21 and antimatter blue and supposedly a 36 gallon tank 8 miles from empty never got more than 32 gallons in it. No step in the tailgate seems to be accompanying the gas tank or connected to the absence of moonroof. I heard they’ve remove the front torsion bar in later models is this true? Also trail turn assist not sure I have that on the 21 model. How does one know? Thought it was weird that the tremor gets that feature in the raptor does not
I think all gen 3 Raptors come with 36 gallon fuel tank. The tailgate step was an option you can select in early Gen 3 years but I think they made it standard in later years. For trail turn assist, go to "Features" screen and you should see it (if your vehicle has it).
@@whocaresjustdoit thanks I thought they all had 36 gallon tanks. Also when it’s bone dry I can get 32 and maybe three tenths
It’s not FAKE carbon fiber… It better not be fake! I paid for real CF! :( :) Fun review, Gents!
If you're driving this in rutted dirt and snow/ice, ruts created by normal width vehicles, won't this always be slipping and sliding side to side because it is too wide for those ruts? That's my concern. Something as simple as driving on a turnpike during a heavy snowstorm, the width making it impossible for me to stay in the tracks, and as anyone knows who drives in those conditions, when you cross from one lane to another out of the tracks you know it, you slip and slide a bit till you get situated in the tracks of the next lane over. Thoughts on this concern?
The tires are so big, you'd just go over everything. I've driven on forest roads with ruts and pot holes that other vehicles would have to slow down to 5-10 mph to get over. The Raptor would just fly over those things at 35 mph with no problems....I've gone over a foot of snow with no problem. The Raptor is a true apocalypse vehicle.
As for the width, you get used to it. As in the video, the lane centering system is really good and it does a good job keeping you in the lane. I also have a 4Runner and with highway and city driving, I honestly can't tell the difference between the two. Where you really notice the width is when you go to very tight trails.
FP03 Is for Ford performance Gen 3 raptor
Ford needs sequential turbos to boost HP to 550 and TQE to 650 ft-lbs!
1080p only? What happened?
Just wanted to comment as soon as the video came out to improve the chances of your reading mine:
Would you consider doing a video on Toyota competing with Ford in the sport-truck segment, including the Ford Lightning and the upcoming gasoline Ranger Raptor?
Which toyota vs Ford do you want to see? The Raptor vs TRD Pro? We're hoping to get our hands on the lightning later this year! Same with the Ranger Raptor; hopefully we can test it in the desert! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@dwnshft I know Toyota plans on electrifying its vehicles, so I didn't know if there was any serious info on Toyota making an electrified Tundra.
As for the Ranger Rapter, I know Toyota unveiled the diesel GR-branded Hilux in Europe and Asia and would be interested to know if a mid-sized GR vehicle for North America is in the works.
@@pocketvelero there hasn’t been news lately on a tundra EV but you can bet it’s in the works and we’ll report on it as it develops.
A diesel GR Hilux sounds like it competes more with the outgoing generation of ranger raptor that was had overseas. I’ll dig into that more
The only truck as long as you don’t need to tow a city, then this is the only truck!
it's so good
@@dwnshft not Evan a fan of trucks but this is the only truck I would buy and would buy it over almost anything
Maybe you should have used the mud and ruts mode, since you were driving in muddy rutted terrain. 🙄
didn't get stuck
Where is this?
Wait…. I though the raptor didn’t have lane keep assist.
It does indeed! Pretty interesting feature especially when in cruise control. It ‘almost’ feels like a self-driving truck, which is NOT but starts to feel like one.
I get 12-14mpg after13,500 miles on my Gen 3 35. 17+ mpg is not realistic in the real world, especially if you are driving it like is should be driven.
FP GN 03= Ford Performance Gen 3
The similar 3.5 L ecoboost engine on the Ford GT has 660 hp and 550 lbs of torque. I'm sure there's various reasons and I'm no engineer but why can't the ecoboost on the Raptor produce the same numbers?
With the crewcab you only get the 5.5 bed? Really. The second gen Raptor has one size bed, supercab or crewcab. Third gen same thing, just no supercab. What a yuppie off roading, no clue what he is doing. Just sad.
Keep your incoherent babblings out of my comments 😂 if you’re going to talk shit at least make sense OR have your facts straight
Its code orange not cyber orange!!!!!
hahah yeesh my bad
Where was this filmed?
the offroad section was filmed at Road America
@@dwnshft is it open to the public? I'm only 30 minutes from there.
@@john-walterbenjamin8213 I believe you book through them a time you can come
You guys don't seem to be very good drivers driving slow when you should be driving fast
Too many commercials
LOL
The Styling outside & Inside SUCKS !!! OUTDATED Already !!!!!
HOT TAKE
@@dwnshft Yep-er 10 4
This hot take belongs in the Large Hadron Particle Accelerator. This take would fit right in with the 7.2 trillion degree temps.
Agreed
Is it sad I think the tremor looks better than the raptor 😂
FP GN 03 = Ford Performance Gen 3
