- After reviewing the current-gen Raptor a couple years ago, I recently had the slightly revised 2019 model for a week thanks to Ford. Here's my thoughts on what it's like to live with for a week. What do you think about the Raptors?

I own a 2019 Raptor with every option available.It is a pavement princess has not even seen a rain drop.Its a very comfortable truck.Still getting use to the 10 speed.Very good review.The racaro seats are beautiful and comfortable.
Best looking truck on the market!
MaxSpeed hardly
JustJay 0312 By miles
MaxSpeed would outlast everything else on the market too, fact!
@@newfie-dean5803 idk, the twin turbos might not let that happen lol
MaxSpeed i would not worry about that. I’m sure they are well built. Remember this is the engine from the new Ford GT which costs $500K. It’s well built. Turbo engines are usually built stronger than regular naturally aspirated engines, so as long as they are maintained properly, they'll run for a long time. Consider the new Ford Ranger Ecoboost, even it comes with forged internals from the factory. I’m sure the engine in this truck and the GT has even more enhancements.
0-60 in 5.2 seconds is not fast?
Boy are we spoiled.
5,700 lbs, 35 in tires. Dumbass instead stupider
I bought my 2019 Raptor 2 weeks ago with for $50,775. Its an 800a base truck with cloth seats but it is still a raptor. I don't have the heated and cool seats, the recaros, or any of the fancy driving assist this truck has but i do have the same engine/tranny, same rear end, same Fox live valve shocks, and the same badass styling of the 802a trucks. You CAN get a raptor for a good bargain, if, you can live without all the extras this truck offers. As far as the ecoboost, I have a 2013 mustang coyote with long tubes if I want to hear a v8, this 3.5 eco is smooth and has a lot of power
finally a real reply, i have a 801a, and put the mods on it i wanted. 55k and put in a better system than the b&o
please tell me where you got that vehicle for that price I was looking at 1 today and I'm just looking for like you said the base model raptor verit 64000 but looking at your review let me know where you got your vehicle please thank you
Raptor is the coolest Ford vehicle behind the GT. Yes it's a lot cooler than the Mustang.
I had a blue Lightning in hs. Bought it with money I made delivering pizza and DJing. I'd be at the stealership tomorrow if they made a new one.
I think they made a mistake not offering the coyote in here as an option.
JJ 450 hp and 500 foot pounds torque isn’t enough?
I'd probabaly be one of those who buy this and never take it off road
make it two of us.
Raptor has always been the best on road truck since it’s so comfortable versus the standard
Would love to see it get the gt500 motor.
100k +
Would you a,so like to buy the gas for the v8?
I think there was way too much focus on ride and handling. It's just a truck.
He's a car biased reviewer, which is fine. They all have their niche. I usually go to TFLtrucks for my truck reviews.
Bruh he said in the 1st minute that the was only going to go over the ride and handling because he already did a video on reviewing it
@@Paulthachum Full sized truck performs mediocre on handling news at 11.
Nice review! I can see how this truck could be particularly useful in terrible weather. Torrential rains, floods, hurricanes, snow storms, extreme cold/hot weather.
Best truck in the world'
The Ford raptor can handle much better around corners than what you think and feel.
The handling is great, don’t forget it’s a lifted truck with 35” tires. I’d couldn’t get any better with raptor. I drive ford trucks over 10 years and after comparing to raptor it’s day and night
You don't buy a raptor for fuel mpg
Look man i dont need anymore encouragement to buy this.
I dont want a $1000 monthly payment
TopLift 😂😂😂
you can get them cheaper than that
Dont be a fool and spend 1k a month on a car.
Derek A - yea i make 10k a month (pretax) and i dont want to. My car payment is 350 for two vehicles and in. A few months no car payments
@@DrTopLiftDPT 10k wtf is your problem I make half and want it
I have a 2018 802A Raptor. The ventilated seats are not that good compared to my previous Sierra. Those seats were fantastic with air cooled ventilation. The Raptor ventilated seats you might as well not even turn them on.
I usually love his videos but I did not like the way he did this one. He was too centered on the sports car aspects of it. He would have compared more to other trucks near this model. I personally use trucks for utilities and work. Does anyone else agree?
I love the Raptor, F-150 in general, Mustang too, but I think Ford made a big mistake killing its efficient hatchbacks and sedans
Automotive industry has had terrible leadership the last 40 years. 10 years ago or so Ford was close to killing off most of its SUVs, especially the expedition.
Thanks for this review!
The Limited is the closest thing Ford has to the Lightning.
jrhunt414 I think the closest thing would be the regular cab v8 coyote
There are zero raptors at 55k, zero.
Take it to Ford to fix the AC dingaling!
There are now
Loook around dumbass
Used ones
Hi, do you have to break in on the Raptor? Thx
I am still stuck on 40k for a 4 cylinder ranger.
I just need to hit the lottery first
The perfect car/truck doesn't exist ? Oh wait 😂
Ok Recaro heated and cooled in this one, why not the Mustang? Never understood that. Kind of sounds like the Cummins TD a bit. I’m wondering what the mileage is compared to a V8 150? How Eco is this thing if you need to be in boost? Great review....I’ll wait for a V8.
Feel better soon bruh sorry your under the weather
Thanks, I’m better now! This was filmed about a month ago, I just have a long backlog lol.
Have you done a 2020 Silverado review yet?
No but I did a 2019 which is the same thing, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/yOfEFP-Xf_k/w-d-xo.html
Just bought '19 802A without the recaro. They only come in blue, I bought a black truck didn't like the blue/black combo.
Ah good to know, thanks! And congrats on yours!
How is the body roll going around corners dose the live active fox shocks take care of this
Great review Matt
I think I might be missing something here Matt, my uncle just bought a brand new navigator and he’s getting 23 mpg he has about 3000 miles on it, i’m assuming the engines are about the same not quite sure about the transmissions?
They both run the same engine and transmission. MPG always depends on the driving style and type of driving. 23 mpg in a Navigator sounds like mostly highway driving to me.
Matt you would be correct on that!
The Raptor is not designed for efficiency. Limited aero, heavy 35" tall tires and 4.10 gears really kills the fuel economy.
I just can't get over how goddam wide it is. 3" wider than a Power Wagon, wtf? It'd be a great second vehicle, but being annoyed ever time I go anywhere with a busy parking lot would get old really fast. And I legitimately need something that can at least fit down your average desert trail, and I'm worried this just won't.
-Signed, Impatiently Waiting for a Ranger Raptor
My 2019 raptor supercrew is my go to for road trips. I already have 6k miles and I got it at the end of March. Mpg sucks if you step on it. I’ve tried to not step on it but it simply is not possible.
Ohhh that word is making me nervous
Daniel Frank what word
@@joemomma7161 Sucks
Ohhh mpg is stupid
this truck would look way more aggressive with negative offset wheels, not a fan of keeping trucks stock
When you get one ,do every single mod that come across your mind.
I’m debating to buy a 2019 or wait for a Gen 3?
Jason Rios the 2020 isn’t gonna be that different other than having the Leadfoot color which would honestly be worth the wait imo
Feel better Fam
People who are going too spend 72 grand for this vehicle will not care about fuel economy.Ford should have kept the 6.2L v8 engine that perfectly matches with this trucks personality.
@@360mmspider You mean.......game emissions standards.
Take it off-roading!
Why don’t they make a Ford Raptor Excursion? 🤔
Really, You had the Raptor for a week and you only put 150 miles?
Can't afford to go too much further.
lovely truck! feel better soon! wanna hear you firing on all cylinders haha :)
Like the Raptor. But at the end of the day it's a Ford. Ford = hit or miss reliability (i.e AC not working on this one). You'll never find a Toyota Tundra with AC issues. But the Tundra needs a redesign. Thanks for the video!
Holy cow people act like it’s a trophy truck off road its just a sporty f150 eco boost pickup and it’s slower then a Toyota camery yeah right my gf has a 19 carola hatch back and it’s a dog. I love the raptor but it’s not a trophy truck and the fuel mileage isn’t terrible my Tacoma with 35s was just as bad and any other v8 pickup I have driven has had 15 or lower mpg.
Yeah I only have ZR2 money
GT 500 in a Raptor😯🤔
Week with the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor!
2019 Camaro ss review?
I’ve been asking GM, they don’t have any in the east coast fleet. Hopefully they’ll send one soon but at this point they might just wait and send a 2020 model instead.
Next Review: Hennessy Velociraptor 👌👌👌
When/if they make this with a V8 they'll make a killing!
They used to have a V8
They're already making a killing with the TT V6
Mike Morris im talking about this current gen
@@BIGWEBB88 7.0 liter
Matt has a misfire?
Review the new Limited edition GMC Syclone.
V6 sounds 😝
Shoutout to Sean Ranklin
Matt, it’s amazing how much you can rationalize about such an irrational vehicle lol. Your reviews and weekly updates are absolutely unlike anything else and will keep your sub count climbing!
Thanks Doug!
I hope the new Raptor gets the V8 from GT500

Ummm...Ok... Whenever they first came out was 2010. Not 2017.
Does the extra width make the Raptor a handful or is the F150 just a cumbersome truck? I'm on the fence between the F150 and Tacoma, I know its apples and oranges but you've driven both recently.
If you're looking for a grocery getter, yes. It easily fills up a space and sometimes part of another. When you're out on the road, you have to keep focus on not clipping curbs and keeping in lane. The thing is just so wide. Still, it's not impossible to live with, it's just something you'll have to get used to.
As for the Tacoma, the automatic in the Tacoma sucks. If you're interested in one, ask to test drive one on the highway and find out what I'm talking before you make a decision. But, if you're into manual transmissions, then the Tacoma is a riot, especially the TRD Pro. If I'm looking for an off-road toy, that would be what I would get.
It’s the Raptor’s extra width that makes it tough. A regular F-150 isn’t cumbersome. Tacoma is a great truck but the automatic in it annoys me still. Between the two I prefer the regular F-150. But the new RAM is the best truck on the market currently in my opinion.
@@AkioWasRight no matter which I choose it would be an automatic (I'll leave the manual for my sports car) I'm just wondering if the F150 in standard crew cab 4x4 is really that much more of a PITA to drive and park than the Tacoma
Nah, there’s not much of a difference in my opinion in that regard.
@Frank Crooker No at all. Rams are heavily incentivized, but they hold their value well after sale. My Ram is 6 years old and around 100,000 miles, and it's still worth most of I paid for it. As for reliability, I mean, yeah, it's not a Toyota, but so what... I've only had one issue with a front diff leak cause by a bad pinion seal. All was cover by warranty. Other than that, it's not had any problems. If I had known that before buying, I would gladly do it all over again. Of course, that's just my experience, but, really, people make too much of a fuss about reliability. Even the lesser reliable vehicles these days are not problematic.
If only the Raptor sounded a little more like the Ford GT and not a deflating balloon
I want one
You should review or compare it to the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.
Tundra TRD Pro is much milder with its suspension setup. But great for those that still want a V8.
awesome vid but wished you would have put more like a 1000 miles on the truck
Review a Lamborghini Aventador
Dumbass
Then drive a prius
From all your testing. You should know that the V8 will be reduced to hit government regulations. That's why the Raptor has a 3.5, 450 horsepower Ecoboost to continue developing the EcoBoost. The basis of this engine is already proven. That's why the F-150 is reducing the 5.0 because the EcoBoost is what customers are buying. Hyundai Genesis just announced they are dropping the V8 from their luxury line up. I'm a big fan of the V8 engine but the future isn't V8 engines. Without the Hemi. The Charger would be just an average sedan. I can't imagine not hearing the rumble of a 5 0 Coyote Mustang GT or a 5.2 GT350. But the future Is EV and hybrids. I really doubt that the V8 will ever make it back in the Raptor or that Ford will ever produce a performance pickup truck like the Lightning at least with a V8 engine. You are testing an off road vehicle, not a Shelby. the Raptor isn't designed to go around curves it's designed to go over things found off-road. Your Compairing the Raptor to a similar priced luxury vehicle. That's Apple and oranges. The Raptor can be optioned as a luxury truck, but can do things a regular luxury truck could never do. From what you had to say. It appears your not a Raptor fan. A lot of negatives while recommending purchasing an extended warranty.. You know it not for everyone, but for those that own them. They love them. Would I purchase a Raptor? As great as it is. It's not on my purchase list. Do I like the Raptor? Of course. I think it's a fantastic well-designed monster of a truck. But for me. It's Just to much truck for my daily driver.
To me, a raptor is my dream car/truck. Over anything else you could throw my way, from audi, to porsche/ferrari to bugatti. I have no interest in fancy supercars (2019 m5 competition may be a look in though lol), i want to drive a vehicle, that where i live in southern Italy will soak up the shit roads, has room for 5 comfortably, or throw my dogs in the rear seats, some gear in the bed and go to the mountains. Considering what i drive now, this is the epitome of luxury lol. People complain over v6 vs v8, i'm english, if it goes, and faster than what you currently drive then it's a winner. Waiting for that lottery win though as these in the UK are pushing $110,000 when converted currency. And regarding the looks, i think as far as trucks go, it looks clean as hell. Not over done SQUARE wheel arches ( whats the deal with that), no weird hoods that look completely out of place with the rest of the truck, as far as proportions go, it's bang on in my opinion.
Damn this eats alot gas
More off road less talking
My lats are wide enough that my 07 F150 hugs me very well.
I can’t sit in my wife’s car for long which has more like bucket seats.
Great :-)
To save almost $10K I would invest in aftermarket Camera’s installed by professionals. And save over $8500
Matt seems like you're just talking a lot of crap about this Awesome off road killer. Maybe stick to small cars.
That’s embarrassing. My 2014 lifted Jeep Wrangler with a bunch of added weight gets better mpg that this.
A crappy turbo aided v6 in such a beast truck.
Unfortunately V8s are being shown the door.
rta
70k for a fucking truck
V6 ninny mobile.

Concentrate on reviewing regular cars, BUTTERCUP!! awful review!!
Junk
You talk too much bro show the car more ..
in 6 months this truck will be in repair shop for issues...go japanese trucks
Frank Crooker angry bigot frank.
I wonder when Toyota will figure out how to put a factory remote start in their trucks?
Euclid Eureka I’ll keep you updated with that, oh it’s been over six months and it’s fine so stfu
You've clearly never owned a truck!
