Why it's TIME to DECIDE: 2018 Ford Raptor or 2014 Raptor? - Raiti's Rides

- This is one of the most detailed side by side comparisons of the first GEN & second GEN Raptors.The 2018 Ford Raptor broke away from the first generation by Ford switching to the 3.5 V6 EcoBoost mated to a 10 Speed transmission. With all updated sheet metal and interior plus the 450 HP lurking under the hood Ford thought the fans would be happy. The problem is many people miss the 6.2 V8 mated to the 6 speed gearbox in their Ford Raptor. Find out all the details to see which way you decide!

Gen. One . Al the way, everyday!!
Thanks for sharing your input!
I love my 2014
As my uncle says, “full-sized trucks with a V6 are like a man with one testicle. It works but it’s really weird.”
I own a Gen 1 and won’t buy another Raptor until I’m in a position to buy the upcoming Raptor R, which will have a V8.
I own a 2013 Gen 1 6.2L Raptor and love the truck. Never had an issue and it’s rock solid. I test drove the 2018 Raptor and while I liked it, the engine sounded like a weed eater. It had plenty of power but each time I stepped on the gas it made me cringe. The interior is nice on the 2018 and I like the look, but for me the V6 Eco Boost was the deal killer. I’ll buy a new Raptor tomorrow if it comes in a 7.0L v8. In the meantime, my current Raptor is perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience and input! I am so glad you are enjoying your Raptor!
Some of the first gens have the step in the tailgate.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Cptjockitch I was thinking the same thing. My clever girl has one and she’s a 2012.
Yes my 2014 does have the step but one thing that’s kinda annoying about them is that it rattles, when you have the back slider window open you can hear the handle shaking around over bumps.
Yep my 2014 had it
@@krazyksssicheck4264 Is it still possible to find accident free Raptor gen. 1 in good shape from first owner in the US ?
I own a special edition 2014 Ruby Red Metallic Raptor. It basically like the one in the video. It is amazing what it can do. I highly recommend the 1st gen if budget is a concern. Personally , I think the 1st gen curved body work looks better than the squared look of the new raptors
Thank you so much for sharing your input and personal experience! I appreciate you watching!
yeah I have 2014 blue one with 48 000 km, I love my bebe hehehehe. I guess the new one might be technically more advanced, but the budget is important as well. I agree with you Omar that the first gen looks more aggressive than new Raptors. They look sort of GMC for me.
I have a 2011 and love everyhing about it.
I guess I'll have to choose the 2014 raptor, why? Because my ole lady would kill me if she found out I spent 70k on a truck. :)
Happy wife happy life!
Where you find one of those for 70k cheapest I found was 86k
Mine was 2012 at 45k
There’s plenty in Florida in the 50s
Adan Badillo I’m in CLearwater looking at a 2014 with 99k miles for $34K
get rid of the old lady and keep the truck
I like your videos. A lot of good content. Hey I have a 2014 Raptor and I do have that extra step and handle on my tailgate.
Another great review!!! Very interesting video to see the two, thank you !! See you on the next ride!!
That is so great of you to say! Thank you for your amazing support! Yes you will!
I bought the identical Ruby Red 2018. Love it so much fun to drive! Love how it sets so high up. Better than the Porsche's I've owned.
Congrats on your Raptor! I am so glad that you are enjoying her! Thanks for watching!
The 1st gen also has soft open tail gate, step out tailgate, and pop up handle on the tailgate. I know because my 2014 1st has all that. And also the power center glass in the rear windshield
No V.6 full size truck for me. I'm buying a 5.0 V8 coyote F150 4x4....then slap on some Fox shocks myself.
That is definetly one way to work around the issue. Thanks for watching!
mixflip ok 👍🏾 but I’m smoking you on the road with my twin turbo V6 🤣!!😭
@@richardjackson5670 wellllllll all he has to do is but a supercharger or turbos and he will absolutely destroy you and out tow you
@@richardjackson5670 who gives a shit about smoking someone on the road with a truck that was designed for off roading?
I own a 14 Raptor and went straight to the comment section have not seen your video yet. Look up videos of the 6.2l Raptor with the Corsa extreme exhaust and you will be sold. Good luck they are both great truck
I totally agree with you!
Currently looking at a used 13 SVT Raptor, still debating.....Great video!
Thanks Richard! Good lucking tracking dow your Raptor!
Love your videos! Love the Raptors in Spartan crimson red too!
Love the '18 Raptor. Too bad they didn't offer the 6.2L as an option. Is the paint quality on both the '14 and '18 as good as it looks in the video? I really couldn't see any orange peel. But times, they are change'n. :-(
The paint quality of drop dead gorgeous, especially on the new one but the 2014 is still holding strong!
As a Ford mechanic that ecoboost twin turbo engine in 2nd Gen is garbage it won't last like the 6.2l engine from the 1st Gen I should know because I did work quite often it's either the engine is blown or one of the turbo need to be replace... If you in the market on getting a raptor stay away with those ecoboost.
Just got my 2018 Raptor (Magnetic) finish and just love it, need I say more....
Congrats! Well done sir!
Both look badass👌👌👌👌👌
You got that right! If you had to choose which would it be?
Raiti's Rides probably the 18 ,looks better in my opinion
I would agree with you!
But the 1st gen sounds bad ass....etc
that 2014 raptor doesn't even look old .. it looks as if it was just manufactured.. it doesnt look dated at all... i luv it
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective!
HI Joe, I enjoy your videos but you are incorrect about a few things- The tailgate step was available as an option on the Gen 1 Raptor so it's not unique to the Gen 2. Also, there was a very nice black hood decal that was available for the Gen1 which, in most people's opinion, looks better than the 2 black stripes you see in the Gen 2 hood decal option.
While the Gen2 is a nice progression to the Gen1, the Gen1 is a timeless classic and will always hold a place in automotive history and be an enthusiasts truck for decades to come.. especially with that amazing 6.2L V8 N/A motor.
Great review, and first one I've seen side-by-side like this, I've seen a ton of Raptor reviews and even with all that I found yours interesting all the way through.
fourtraxer thank you so much for the extra info. I always invite extra clarification. I really believe my channel is a community of car and truck enthusiasts. Thank you for your kind words!😊👍🏻
Hey Joe! You must have been reading my mind again I love a double double. Both trucks are beautiful, still like the rumble of a V8.Here is one for the suggestion box how about a Raptor Cobra 500.Ooooeee.
That Shelby Raptor may be coming! Stay tuned for a Super Snake review heading this way!
can you put the steering wheel from the 2nd gen into the 1st gen and make the paddle shifters work?
new raptor with the old motor would be the absolute perfect truck
About to puck up a 13 raptor... need a good monster to drive when the GT350 should stay in it’s home. Sooooo, I hit you up and you deliver!! Thanks again man!!! Great review but I wish I had $60k to buy a used gen II....
That is going to be a great Ford setup! I am so gad that you liked this one! I really appreciate you watching! I'm filming a 2019 Ford Raptor tomorrow!
That gen 1 is a special edition, somebody took the special edition wheels off of it and put on the standard wheels
Traded my 2013 Raptor for a 2018 Raptor. 2 different animals. I had the mid perch mod, CAI, painted to match fender flares and bumpers. 35x12.50... now loaded 2018. Getting used to it. Rides much better. No mods yet. Going to go 2.5 collar leveling hot with 37x12.50. Should be killer
I still can't decide.. i love the sound of the v8, but ecoboost is good as well...
Would you get a 2019 or wait for the next gen raptor?
Hey, do a review on the Raptor with the 6 tires, I really like that one.
I'm jealous over Florida trucks. How clean that frame was and what not. Mid Atlantic sucks with the road salt
cant go wrong with either Raptors.
Ford missed a good chance to put the V6 Ecoboost engine into the Mustang
but i prob think the V6 Turbo might cut into the profits of the GT
in another story, MarkCup70 has issues with the new Focus RS engine.
Boost leak and possible head gasket leaking oil
I totally agree with you! A 3.5 EcoBoost would be very interesting proposition in a Mustang.
My RS is still running strong with almost 10,000 miles.
27 Aug 2019 I bought my first 2019 Raptor in black. Yesterday, I bought my second Raptor, a 2020 in lead foot gray! I sold my 2017 Challenger ScatPack, 2015 Ram RT, 2012 Toyota Highlander and my 2008 FJ Cruiser to buy my two Ford F150 Raptors!
I love that 2018 ford Raptor ♥️♥️♥️she’s a beaut!
Especially in that Ruby Red color!
Minor detail, but the truck bed step assist was also available in the 2014, I have it in mine 😅
I have a 2014 raptor that I have owned since new, the thing has been bulletproof and I have definitely put it through its paces. The new one I heard has had inter cooler problems with condensation sucking into the motor. Plus I keep hearing how much better the gen 2 suspension is, but why when I look up buying the gen 2 rear shocks and front coil overs I can find them new all day long for 600 bucks and the gen 1 suspension is still going for almost 2 grand. If they’re so good, why are they selling for so cheap?
That is a very good point that you bring up! Thank you so much for sharing!
There hasn't been any intercooler issues with the 2nd gen Raptor. There were some IC issues with the first gen EcoBoost engines but those were rectified well before the 2nd gen raptor was released, which actually has a 2nd gen EB motor that was never plagued with that problem.
I think im about to get a older one. its about time to trade in and I like these older ones and have since they came out.
Yes i love them amazing awosome truck u show use on ur video and the camera crew you're awesome brother keep up the hard work God bless y'all and stay cool
I am so glad you are liking these! I hope you have a blessed week! Thanks for watching!
Two Beautiful Trucks-Which Ford Raptor would you choose, Joe?
I'm going 2018 all the way! I just love the looks, the interior, and the performance! How about you?
I'd say they look terrific
Great review!
hey man, i enjoyed this video, if i lived in your area you would have me sold, great presentation and you appear very welcoming. cheers brother.
That really means a lot Dennis! Thank you for letting me share my car passion with you!
i have the same exact ruby red 14 mines just have the svt wheels on it just bought it couple weeks back couldnt be more happy with it when i want to tow big things i use my ole 7.3 dually for heavy towing !
Congrats!
Both look beautiful! But to choose one the 18 of course but they should have kept the V8 with more HP and torque :))
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! What would you think of a Voodoo powered Raptor?
The Voodoo in the Raptor would be awesome! I believe Dodge is coming out with TRX Rebel truck 6.2L and 575 HP! Ford should keep up with the competition lol
I firmly believe that competition improves the breed!
What kind of gas should you use in a GEN 1 Raptor? What kind of gas should I put in my 2018 Raptor? I get so many different answers. Thanks
I would run 93 octane if it is available in your area.
Paddle shifters are not aluminum! They are magnesium!
Thank you for the extra bit of info! I really appreciate your support!
This truck does not have the carbon fiber package and the first gen did not have a panoramic sun roof.
both are music to my ears
mystery wolf and a blast to drive!
You are so right...
at the end of the day, it's to the eye and the driving experience of the beholder, including wallet expansion.... Love the look and the overall experience of it.
but one thing that hinders is, that we live in the southern hemisphere. OZ. and we drive on the left side of the road. therefore, the steering wheel to our vehicle is on the right side.
anyone knows how this can be sorted?
That is a great question!
Hey joe why is the 2nd gen raptor rear shock is in oposite possition
Fox discovered that by flipping it around it helped with dampening. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I use to laugh at v6s but the raptor twin turbo v6 smokes the 6.2 v8 all day
Lights in the 2018 mirrors are LED flood lights, not turn signals.
Id Take a gen 1 ....over gen 2 all day long...first gen has more collectors value as well ..
It will be interesting to see how the prices of these trucks go!
Both truck are nice, but anyways i test drove a Ford raptor it was a 2017 and wow i just barely step on the pedal and pushed me back in the seat like if i was in a rocket wow, awesome for being a truck and drive smooth on the highway and reg streets awesome truck just have to save up my lpennies and dimes lol, nice video.
Thanks for letting me share these with you!
Ha Once again Awesome job. I am torn Thay both look Great!! I have a question all vecal
Thank you so much for your awesome words! I appreciate your support!
My sister and I both own the Ford Raptors. Hers is the 2014 model , mine is the 2018. Someday we’re going to line them up to see who’s going to finish first. I’m hoping it’s going to be the 2018. Their is a lot of features on mine l like better than the 2014.
1st gen all day. Ive talked to many 2nd gen owners who ended up trading it in and just getting an f250. On the other hand anyone who has had a 1st gen KEEPS it Including myself.
Like the look of the 2018 better. The front end is more squared off.
Same here!
of course you had the tailgate step at first gen. raptors too!
This is true! Thank you for the extra info!
Generation 1 had also steps and a Handle in the back....
I may be biased but I like the 1st gen, I guess because I have a 2013 SVT Raptor.
How may miles do you have on your 2013 Raptor!
80,xxx mi
Make sure the next reviews are in the ruby red so I can buy one soon 😂. I live in the Brandon Area and I’m looking for a raptor . I’ll prob contact you soon or stop by
I think ford did a good job on turning that v8 into a v6 in terms of fuel economy. V6 has a 450 hp while V8 has 411 hp. transmission 1st gen has 6 speed while 2nd gen 10 speed. not sure if the towing capacity changed tho. hahaha This is just my own perception no hates!
Thank you for sharing your input and feedback! I appreciate you watching!
I would not agree with fuel economy since in real life Raptor V6 gets pretty much same milage as any F150 with V8 5.0L engine.
my gen 1 has 590 hp 🤫
The bed step was optional on 1st Gen Raptors.
In 20 years the 1st Gen will still be wanted the 6.2 V8 will still be working. Can you say the same for the 3.5 twin Turbo V6
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Why the weenie shants? (halfway between shorts and pants) They don't sell blue jeans where he lives?
I love V8s, but why in the hell would you want a slower and heavier engine just for sound. Only a handful of people will actually appreciate it.
I'm in the market for a Raptor. Here are my choices 83,000 mile, super clean, stock 2014 in triple black for $45,995 or a 2017 Raptor with 95,000 miles, stock, clean for $49,995? Which should I go with?
My 2013 has tailgate assist. Know your stuff. And my 2013 has a strut on the tailgate that lowers the thing slowly. Know what? Mine will outlast the newer ones! My v-8 is the most reliable engines Ford ever made. But I'm old school.
2024 I still want Gen1 Raptor!!
I honestly think that the 2018 exhaust note sounds better then the 2014 with the V8!
I totally agree with you!
You guys must be smoking some good stuff haha
Been a Diehard V8 fan since I was 16
Now I'm 54 & My 2016 F150 Eco Boost
Is all I ever want....no more V8 for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is always best to hear from actual owners!
Love that red🔥🔥🔥 Nd ik this is off topic but I’m doing research nd is interesting how the Subaru cars especially the crosstrek insurance is cheaper than a Camry accord corolla civic nd the rest so far the crosstrek is $286 a month nd Impreza $312 on state farm
Unlike the Camry nd Accord is between $400-$400🤔🤔
I am so glad you like the Ruby Red, because I love it! I'm not surprised by what you discovered about the insurance costs. Subaru makes some of the safest cars on the road, especially the Crosstrek!
Raiti's Rides I’m really surprise tbh wasn’t expecting that Nd the Subaru is just as reliable as Toyota nd Honda but just need more caring tbh but wow nd the newer u get the car the cheaper insurance gonna b I’m assuming cause all the driving assistance tech especially when I’m
Not even 25 Thts a huge plus
Anderson Rodriguez so very true! Plus the Crosstrek holds its value so well!
Raiti's Rides all Subaru vehicles especially the new ones the old ones didn’t cause he old consumption
Very good point!
I'll take both Raiti..lol..another great review.
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS I had a feeling you would say that! 😉👍🏻🏆
Raiti's Rides I've had two 6.2 F-150 trucks and switched to the EcoBoost in 2016 and will never go back .
I appreciate you sharing that personal experience! I have a neighbor that said the same thing!
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS lot of your comments have not aged well since you have switched to ram and renamed yourself.
@@michaels7984 because I just changed trucks ..lol..
Great video!
I mean both are really nice.What do you think?
Thanks man! These drops are so killer! I want one so badly!
They are both awesome but I'm going with the 2018! I just love it to death! How about you?
Great!
I really wish I could get a Raptor!
GEN 1 is a sleeker looking truck, new one is just has too many sharp angles and is far too indistinguishable from the new F150. When you see a Gen 1 Raptor, you know its a raptor. New Raptor just looks and feels like another F150 option like Lariat or HD edition.. Last point, when i think full size truck, i think and want V8.. Gen 1 all day
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Shane.
which one your favorite color?
On the Raptor it's either the Ruby Red or Blue, then followed by Lead Foot Grey! How about you?
you could have the tailgate step in the first gen as well have it in my 11
I appreciate the feed back! Thanks for watching!
Cool. Ford ranger raptor 2018 is my choice. Respect from Ukraine.
Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate your great support!
Excellent video Joe and Tom! If I could afford it I would choose the 2018 Raptor even though I'm not a big fan of turbo engines.
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I think it would be interesting to see the voodoo engine out of the GT350 put in a new Raptor!
You're wrong about the tailgate step. My 2014 gen 1 has the step.
Absolutely 2014 rambling V8 for me any day but, in a 2018/2019 shell.
Whats unique about the Raptor is its performance (V8) without that lawnmower sound,
of the (V6)... it defeat the purpose and ethics of the customer who buys it.... hope Ford
Company listen to its Customers. that will indeed leave them competitive in the market..
GEN 1 had the tailgate step too....
So very true! Thank you so much for watching!
@@RaitisRides loved it. Good stuff mate! Love my Gen 1. Maybe trade it for Gen 3
That really means a lot! Thank you!
The first gen did have the step and handle on the tailgate!
Thanks for that info.
I don’t have that seat in my 2014 raptor man I’m jealous
Turbo charger in time wear out the engine faster so id stick with the 2014
I prefer the V8 but I prefer the new Raptor design.
Imagine if Lamborghini could collaborate with ford and make a Lamborghini edition f150
I was looking for a 12-14 and every one I test drove were 30k piles of sh#%. I just got a 18 and now have to deal with v6 noise’s. But it’s so much nicer.
That's a 2017 model, not 2018. Ford completely redesigned the grille and headlights for 2018. It may have been built in 2018 but it's still a 2017 design.
I prefer the Gen 1
There is nothing wrong with that!
Love the '18 - but I really like the bonnet & grill on the '14 - but yes the '18 wins.
More of these side by sides - any size any segment. And hello to BGM !
I am so glad that you liked this one! I will bring you more side by sides, and the great news is I already have some in the works!
I think Tom should get BGM tattooed on his arms!
My neighbor, The Headless Horseman, said he prefers the 2018.
Very cool! I would go with your neighbor!
up's 😬 my bad all the vehicles I have had I have worn out the brake's bad I guess I am hard on them. can I just get bigger brakes. instead of getting brakes every 6mo or so no matter what vehicle I get.🐬🐬
Sure what kind of vehicle are you driving?
waiting for my disability to be approved. hoping to get a 2006-2014 Expedition with low miles that does not sound like A scam.
Thanks!!
Of course anytime!
Is it true Ford is going to put a 5.0 echoboost in the Raptor?
I have not heard anything about that! I knw some are speculating the return of the V8 though!
Nope It wouldn't be eco if it was a 5.0
@@chambersr1176 If they were trying to get V12 power out of a V8, that would make a 5.0 eco.
Never driven a gen 1, but I have a gen 2. Other than exhaust note, it’s not even a close call. Gen 2 is by far and away the baddest production truck ever. Ford will put out a Raptor w a coyote and we’ll be good to go.
Do a 2019 Raptor review
It is already a done deal!
th-cam.com/video/7u-_Bsq1R68/w-d-xo.html
Um...that 2018 does NOT have the Carbon Fiber Package...
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
It took you longer to get to the dealership on the 2018 than the 20 14 did .........hmmmmm
LOL! I had to edit some of the video out because I did not want the review to be too long! Thanks for watching and your really paid attention!
What's is the sticker price?
For the 2018 Raptor it's $70k.
