@sasserdave Its puropse isnt so customers can go to work and grocery shopping at the speed of light. Its purpose is to kick ass off road. Besides, 4:10 gearing (what the raptor has) compared to 3:73 results in lower fuel economy, but benefits in acceleration and pulling ability (towing trailers, etc).
@sasserdave its costs 3k more than a fx4, and less than a king ranch or platinum so its not expensive. its way cheaper than it would cost to build a truck that way. its also not stupid, it hauls everything it needs to. it is not slow on the road, it does 100 at 2500 rpm. doing another lightning would make it pointless, the lightning couldnt tow either, it couldnt have back seats, it would be more expensive and it would just be another fast truck. off road pre runner has never been done before.
@sasserdave a lot wont get taken off road, but that doesnt make the truck pointless. not all 911 gt3rs are taken to the track, are they any less purposefull because they dont have back seats and a radio? but a lot do go, if they have the opportunity
@4223037 there are complainers that the rap is ext cab only, so they are making a crew cab. they couldnt do that with another lightning, so they couldnt sell very many new lightnings
@sasserdave it is worked out. i was at ocotillo (the day i shot my vids) and the ranger there, who was in a lt siverado, said he was jealus and wanted one "But they arent coming in YET". so hey will probably get a lot of them, they are more expensive to buy but they dont need new shocks and a arm every hundred miles
@sasserdave 0-60 with the 6.2 is 7.6 not 8.2 seconds. who tows with thier race rig? if you need a truck that can tow your probably in a company F150 XL 4.6L white truck. its not a wannabe, it came 3rd in the baja 1000. they ripped the entire stock suspension out and stated over. the front lower control arm, even though they went from cast iron to alluminum it weighs 9 lbs more. replacing the shocks will set you back almost 3k dollars. and its a daily driver.
@sasserdave if your concerned about payload, the 5.4 has a payload of 1000 lbs, not 950. thats the 6.2 payload. i know guys with blown 5.4s making 600 rwhp and guys with a tune, exhaust and cai keeping up with the 6.2. where do you live you girly street queen? you have never jumped a off road truck? you would break more than your splitter
@sasserdave ford has already sold more Raptors than they were expecting to. before the 6.2 came out, they had already got 7k orders for 5.4 raptors. its the best selling svt to date, not in the first year, the best selling svt ever. it got all the other truck makers attention, because chrysler came out with the ram runner, toyota some custom tundra, and chevy another sticker and wheel special called the zr2. so when you live in the southwest and there are huge
@sasserdave oh is 4 feet of the ground for 3 seconds not a long time? your not poving anything. they could have ripped the bed out and put a cage back there it would still be a better truck than anything the government builds
@sasserdave youtube doesnt allow you to post links, so i put spaces between the . in the url. ford is going to make a batch of work truck raptors. they gave billions to gm and chrysler but cant throw ford a bone even though they get something out of it????
Although this truck is pretty bad ass a high performance street truck would have been a better, and more lucrative, idea and as far as I know they would initially have no competitors in that particular market.............But then again Ford never said they wouldn't build one....
The funny thing is I can go out and buy any used truck for like 10 grand, take the other 30 grand and spend it on suspension and engine. Pretty sure it would rape a raptor in all aspects! Real off road enthusiast don't buy built trucks, they build them!
@sasserdave leave a comment on one of my videos, then tell me how pointless the raptor is. go onto svtoffroad dot com, and find me, BentToast on there, and tell me and Bojangles and lvdesertdog and others how pointless the Raptor is. then tell me why i shouldnt drive the leather covered, nav/sync equiped Raptor everyday
@sasserdave well the normall F150 can tow and haul more than any other truck in its class. when a car company is doing good, like ford is, they can afford to spend money to develop halo cars. gm cant afford to do this, which is why they are the only ones without a halo off road truck. on road performance is useless and pointless in a truck. typical gm fanboy
expanses of open desert you will wonder what the point of your useless street truck is. no truck is as good as a sports car, and no street truck can tow or haul anything. trophy trucks are not work trucks, they are toys for people that can afford to buy an run them. just because you cant does not mean they are pointless.
Man 13 years already passed by like it was yesterday!! That beast still looks awesome!!
Just an amazing truck........Ford really got it right with this one. The new 6.2 will make it an awesome beast.
Love my gen 1 raptor!
can't wait fr the 6.2, gonna be a beast
We have a 6.2 Raptor And we Absolutely love it
It's a hell of a lot better then that ecoboost V6 they have now
Eric Fortune
Why can't we have good performance and good sound (that isn't fake) at the same time
jon doe EcoBoost Raptor DESTROYS the old crappy one.... any new EcoBoost engine puts it to shame
Country Boy The new raptor is a more capable off-road machine as well. A supercharged V8 in the new raptor is the ideal combo.
I know the eco-boost is more impressive but I’d rather have the The 5.4 L Triton Then the ego boost I think the 6.2 is probably the best one
@@GyroPyro121212 Fotd F150 Raptor is furious truck. 5.4 and 6.2
I still have my tuxedo black 2010 Raptor super cab. I still LOVE it
Pretty nice truck and the price is not that bad for what you get.
Very nice and pretty this Ford Raptor
The 2014 version is also pretty nice 👍🏻
amazing how they cost 38k back then & now 3x that price for not even 2x the truck
The 6.2L version should be a real beast!

"built for the baja 1000" but 95% of these are glorified mall crawlers with 27 light bars that never get used.
Lol
Yeah, but they still look cool. That’s why you own one bruh.
Why so mad?

Had the extended cab correct!
Put in a Ecoboost v6. That's going to be a great Baja offroader.
bmwmsport11 stunning prediction..
bmwmsport11 damn you nailed that prediction
bmwmsport11
No
Just
No
This guy predicted the future, holy shit.
r4mp4g1
He must be psychic
@smokeythatokey Ok but will it be DOT approved and how about the reliability? and you also have a warrenty that goes with the raptor.
@sasserdave a lot wont get taken off road, but that doesnt make the truck pointless. not all 911 gt3rs are taken to the track, are they any less purposefull because they dont have back seats and a radio? but a lot do go, if they have the opportunity

Wow 16.2 14mile? Amazing now the 2018 f150 run the quarter in the 13s!
Because this one was equipped with the 5.4 3v v8. The 6.2 would have performed much better
The newer trucks are significantly lighter and more powerful, as well as having better transmissions.
We Should get the New 2022 US Ford Ranger Raptor.
@sasserdave 0-60 with the 6.2 is 7.6 not 8.2 seconds. who tows with thier race rig? if you need a truck that can tow your probably in a company F150 XL 4.6L white truck. its not a wannabe, it came 3rd in the baja 1000. they ripped the entire stock suspension out and stated over. the front lower control arm, even though they went from cast iron to alluminum it weighs 9 lbs more. replacing the shocks will set you back almost 3k dollars. and its a daily driver.
@viper5856 yes, we do
@sasserdave so they are supposed to not wash thier trucks during the week?
@sasserdave if your concerned about payload, the 5.4 has a payload of 1000 lbs, not 950. thats the 6.2 payload. i know guys with blown 5.4s making 600 rwhp and guys with a tune, exhaust and cai keeping up with the 6.2. where do you live you girly street queen? you have never jumped a off road truck? you would break more than your splitter
nice truck but i dont think people that buy the truck will use it for what its made for
0 to 60 in 8.6 seconds? A new F200 can beat that. (F200 is a F150 with the base 3.3 liter 200 cuin v6.}
LIE!!!😪😪
Badass truck!
