    Another great video, Alex. One area I REALLY disagree with you, however, is your desire to see the 15 inch screen get added to all F150 upper trims at refresh. I have a 2021 Lariat 502a Powerboost and I find the current 12 inch wide-screen set up with physical controls below to be outstanding. I do not want to see them give up those hard buttons in favor of a slightly larger screen, as in the upper trims of the Lightning.

      Was a good video but it is a 2021 Raptor... not a '22! Easy to tell... no MyMode Settings button on the steering wheel that only the '22s have.

    I have to say the ZR2 is a Tremor competitor, not a Raptor level truck at all. Here is why;
    1-Standard width truck. No added stability.
    2- It has 33" tires which are standard width.
    3-Not a special High Output motor.
    4-It has 18" wheels. Off roaders prefer 17's.
    5-No Baja Mode or special off road race settings.
    6-Does not have extended length A-arms for extreme travel front suspension.
    7-Doesn't have a special frame or truly bespoke panels.
    So it is essentially like a Rebel or a TRD-Pro with a front E-locker. I think you may find that the since the Tremors front Torsen works in 4HI and it is equipped with Trail Turn Assist it will literally run circles around the ZR2 on tight trails.

      I agree, it's pretty obvious looking at it that the ZR2 isn't trying to be what a Raptor/TRX is. I actually think GM's real Raptor/TRX competitor is the Hummer EV, it's got a more bonkers price tag but also boasts more bonkers performance, and it definitely feels like they tried to push that platform and packaging to the absolute extreme which is what I feel like Ford and Rams engineers did on the Raptor/TRX models respectively.

    Your F150 vs Bronco assessment is correct except for those who need greater towing capacity 8200 vs 4500. So for many of us (me) the 4500 limit is way too low... in fact I almost didn't buy my 2018 F150 Raptor due to its low towing capability (been dealing with it, but certainly not ideal). So yeah, if not for towing capabilities I would for sure by the Bronco Raptor for its pure FUN factor (as you pointed out).

  • @Steve-yr5vi
    @Steve-yr5vi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    the 37" tires don't just raise increase ground clearance. The physics of a larger diameter tire make climbing obstacles easier vs. a smaller diameter tire, so a Raptor with 37's will have an easier time covering any obstacle than a 35" tire. The larger diameter makes contact with the obstacle sooner and spreads the effort required to climb the obstacle over a longer distance. Also the larger diameter tire has a larger contact patch than a smaller diameter tire, the practical result of this is larger tires don't need as aggressive tread patterns as smaller tires for the same traction. Realistically you could put more fuel efficient tires on a Raptor with 37" wheels can have the same mount of traction as a truck with 35's.
    FYI: throttle house was able to average 21 mpg in regular driving with a Raptor with 37's.

    "this is insane, its stupid and I absolutely love it" literally the whole truck in a nutshell, you can end the review right there. Hopefully the R has the 6.8L supercharged V8 that they were prototyping and not a supercharged 5.2 like the gt500. On the note of the screens, that 15 inch should be a seperate option in every trim and every package. The big screen they have in the f150 now is already huge, and the expedition now gets that giant screen too and I personally just think its dumb. I've seen them, I've tried using them, they suck. The screens were nice in the 8-10 inch range but screens are getting out of hand in cars, and this is coming from a tech enthusiast.

    If I would buy a truck, its practicality would value to me the most rather than the situations like "Look boys how this thing can fly!" It is good that it can be fast and comfortable, though, but it is really a secondary thing. BTW, driving part of the video is really quiet, I am impressed. Is is noise cancellation or cabin is that quiet?

    Raptor is a Truck that can tow stuff, great on road (dry or slippery) , good carrying capacity and top notch off road. Trust me, I just got one..
    On a different note, I just found out that the navigation that came on the 21 Raptor is only active for 3 years., however wireless CarPlay works very well and I rarely use the one that came with the car..

      I pay for for the GPS in the truck it works better. Example, on a trip I was using both; the GPS on my truck suddenly had me exit off I-95 while headed south, take a state road for perhaps 10 miles and get back on. When I got back on I pulled on just ahead of a slow moving wide trailer that was blocking both lanes doing about 40 mph. Google maps did not even register the slow down. I have found this to be case in other situations, I use the option to use navigation from the truck vs. CarPlay on long trips.

    Honestly if the bronco raptor lives up to the hype, ford just canibalized their own f150 raptor completely, as the bronco raptor would simply be the supoerior offroader in every way/shape/form. Lighter, shorter, better angles, and while the engine isn't as powerful, the 400ish hp 3.0 ecoboost comes close enough for the weight difference to where it balances out. Also ford just made the expedition timberline, which has the same engine as the f150 raptor as well as upgraded suspension, skid plates, beefy offroad tires and I believe the same 4wd system.
    The expedition just also got a street racing trim, like the explorer ST, but its called the limited stealth performance. I think they did that to match chevy giving the tahoe RST a performance pack which gets the 6.2 V8 and sport tuned suspension with magride dampers

    0-60 in 5.5 is really no different than the top Ford, Ram and GM full size trucks. Ford knows they have lost the majority of this market to the TRX, so the Raptor R can't come soon enough

      No, they have not. The Ram TRX would have to sell for years if they even want to play in Fords ball park. The TRX did amazing for the first run, but they don't have the same following as the Raptor. Give it a few years and they'll be there.

    Alex, you like having unique criteria when evaluating vehicles - trunk comfort index, mother-in-law seating, gallon of milk in the compartment between the front seats, a 10" tablet in the glove box. How about adding a new one - a front-end loader bucket of gravel in the bed? That's my criteria for a truck - can it take a full payload of gravel from a front-end loader? It's a dynamic visual process that should look good on video. My 1977 F-250 could take a 1 and 1/2 tons without a problem. Alternately, you could try what my truck also carried - 60 sheets of 4'x8' half-inch sheet rock. That's what a pickup truck is for - to pickup things and carry them.
