All the tailgate features you noted with the exception on the power close are available on the Gen 2. Seems like you have low optioned Raptor for your Gen 2.
I know that Ford may not be the most luxurious vehicles out there but if there is one thing that they do extremely well is their exterior lighting. When I see these lights at night, they are just so crisp and bright.
20:08 is part of ford blue cruise autonomous driving system, there’s also two cameras located on either end where the hazard switch is to monitor driver eyes when blue cruise active. Blue cruise is subscription based and on select roads or highways.
Am I the only person who thinks the Gen 2 Raptor has the best front and back headlight design? 🤔 It looks more aggressive and flashy the new front and back headlights look to plain and small
Ford did a good job improving the exhaust sound. These things remain so capable. 450 hp is plenty for a truck especially considering the significant torque.
That "thing" you were wondering about is one of the two Blue Cruise sensors. that one to the left of the steering wheel, on the driver's side door and the second sensor is on the dash, top right of the screen. You can drive hands free BUT those two sensors are watching your eyes to make sure you have your eyes on the road.
Excellent review - tons of information packed into an entertaining and digestible package. Awesome action shots and great commentary. This really is one incredible truck, particularly with the 37s. Love the updates and especially the new exhaust, which finally matches the Raptor’s personality.
The little thing you referenced on the driver's side windshield pilar is actually a camera, so you can be watched for safety reasons. When I was ordering my 2022 Raptor my sales rep told me what it was. I have a 2017 that will have 100K miles on it soon and it has never been in the shop.
For more of the extreme guys a gen 2 would still be better, people will find the rear 5 link layout will be extremely limiting when it comes to adding rear travel. The ability to plug in Long travel leafs and cut the bed and run a 18" shock, with out redesiging the rear suspension design. But stock for stock the 3rd Gen will be a better design
After owning a 2016 F165 for 5 years. I gotten used to the 2.7 aka 165 cuin twin turbo v6 sound. I have 81k miles and both of my turbos are good. My last fill up was 19 mpg mix driving. I used HP Tuner to raise my top speed to 120 mph. My stop/start does not work anymore. No I did not turn it off.
Another great review, as always! And what a beautiful truck! I've been looking this over, and as tempting as it would be to get the Performance 37 Gen 3 Raptor, I'd likely stick to the 35 Gen 3 Raptor, as long as it still came with the springs rather than leafs. It's funny though, what really stands out to 59 year old me, that foldable flat worksurface in the front center console. That would be so incredibly useful to me. Frankly, I saw your 2021 Cadillac Escalade review, and almost got one. Had it had that foldable flat work surface in the front center console, I probably would have. Actually, the 22" wheels on the Escalade worried me some, so I'd still have had to figure out if I could get it with 20"ers. Don't have that problem with these Raptors. And from what I am hearing, the Gen 3 especially drives incredibly smooth on the highways as well. Wish it had the Platinum's massaging and fully reclining seats, oh well, nothing's perfect, but this Raptor looks pretty darn close. Love your reviews, and love this truck! Thumbs up, once again!
I love that truck they did a great job my 14 has about 130 thousand miles on her I like the ecoboost it's a reliable engine so maybe when the dealer mark up goes down and shit goes back to normal im thinking in about 2 years if it's smooth sailing till than we should be good I'd take that one on 37s over the trex any day .
Concise, focused and hella informative 👍🏾💪🏾. Thanks for making this one bro! I’m currently in a Gen 2 18 looking to pull the trigger soon on Gen 3 but wanting to see the Raptor R first.
The Gen 2 did have the tailgate step option. Likely what happened was whoever built the Gen 2 chose not to add that $500 option and neither did I when I built my 2019 Raptor. It's really not useful, especially when considering how much the option is.
I love the mean and modern look of the old version , that looks sexier than the newer version for some reason , i wish the newer version had the front of the older version 😍😍😍
6:20 The Gen 2 actually feels like a Raptor because it’s huge. And the interior still feels modern and the touch screen is fine, in the 14th Gen F-150 they just made the screen bigger but we almost don’t look at it because we are driving.
The 2019 Raptor has the tail gate step - I find it hard to believe the 2020 doesn’t. It is optional - not standard if that’s what you mean. The stickers on the front and rear are a waste of money, imo. The rear suspension change and 37” look awesome!
First time watching your videos and I subscribed. You put so much effort into the video. I truly hope your channel blows up, and it will as long as you keep up the same energy and level of detail. Excited to see where this channel goes. Cheers!
A lot of the stuff you were saying in the beginning about the 2020 wasn't right. They do have a full 360 "birds eye" camera as well as offering the tailgate step
So proud of Ford Australia who designed and engineered Ford Ranger and the Gen 3 Raptor is hopefully my car in 2022. Ranger is #2 car in Australia, NextGen 3 Ranger will go #1 in Australia.

Still rockin' my first gen '12 SCrew, in great shape and runs like a top....gonna run it into the ground. ...plus I can't afford $100K plus for a new one up here in Canuckistan.
That little thing is for the Blue Cruise system that will implement the self driving feature, such as your Tesla. I’m not sure when the download will be available, but it should be soon.
Bro alot of those features on the gen 3 I have on my gen 2 lmao. You just don't have a very optioned out gen 2 no offense meant. Also the production quality on this video is damn good man you guys do some good work!
4:04 The tailgate step and railing is available on all F-150s and Raptors as an option. To say it's not offered is incorrect. That checkbox wasn't selected when that particular 2020 Raptor was built-out on the order sheet. Very misleading.
the small thing on the door frame i gues are active drive assist, uses a driver facing camera and infrared lightning to monitor your eyes and head position,to detect if you are distracted.
That black thing on the door is a sensor that watches your eyes in a way. If you're using its "self driving" feature then it'll make sure you're looking at the road and hands are on the wheel
Have very basic f150, doesn’t have any vents on the back, only under seats. But the AC is still powerful enough to cool down temperature in hot Florida summers. My fancy bmw X5 has vents all over the place, and not even close to f150.
Great video but you can get that pop out tailgate step assist on the 2020. I've test driven 3 raptors in 2020 model and they all have it. I also drove nothing but 802A equipped versions but wanted chime in since that wasn't quite accurate
So regarding that "sensor window" on the front of the drivers door.....I don't know what it is, but I believe the Owners Manual is loaded into the center console info panel/Nav/Head unit??
Good video with the exception of your crazy MPG figures between this and the TRX. They are only 3 MPG different as proven by TFL truck in a apples to apples driving scenario.
If you haven’t figured this out by now, your main owners manual should be built into your truck like it’s in your computer/screens of your truck from what I researched
I think ford should make the next raptor a v8 hybrid. The electric motors boost its power to almost 900hp 🏆. I also personally like the headlights on the white model .
Yenno I’ll probably never get the chance to own a truck this awesome I have a 2009 F150 XLT and even tho it’s nothing compared to these beasts, it’s a best of a truck to me.
My Gen 2 2019 has the step in the tailgate and also opens with ease and with the key fob too. It doesn’t go back up like the Gen 3 tho. Hmm weird. I wonder why mine has the tail step and the one in the vid doesn’t
Which one looks better? The Gen 2 or the new Gen 3?
*EDIT: Yes, the step tailgate is offered on the 2nd generation. Mistakes were made.
Gen 3 for sure!!
Seeing a 2020 on the road led me to ask, "Is that a Raptor?" However, with the 2022, there is no question
Gen 2 is a million times better lmao
Surround view camera available on both.

Thank you for letting us know!
Am I the only person who thinks the Gen 2 Raptor has the best front and back headlight design? 🤔 It looks more aggressive and flashy the new front and back headlights look to plain and small
100k+
Agreed
Nooooo gen 3 looks soooo much more aggressive
Yes.
I’m with you👍
Ford did a good job improving the exhaust sound. These things remain so capable. 450 hp is plenty for a truck especially considering the significant torque.
I have never been a fan of trucks... until NOW, this Raptor has caught my attention 🔥
The Raptor is simply fantastic and stragely attractive which most trucks can't do.

Yep! you are right! I have 2017 Raptor. I keep my truck.
Who's watching you in your own vehicle?
@@AmericanMuscleTruck Uncle Sam is who is watching.
@@ROGER98SS that's what I was worried about
Cameras so that the driver & pasangers can be watched? Is that really true? Does it have to be included? 🤔
I had a big smile when I heard the sound for 2022.
Raptor for life. You couldn't give me a TRX! 702 horsepower is what it is, but the raptor is still a better tuck.
Raptor R 760 horsepower so I'm told is going to kill TRX
Raptor for life
@@CorporaciondeInversionAlcista a Trx killed a 775hp Shelby f150, don’t get your hopes up
@@adilsagadiyev5090 What I'm really waiting on is this 850 horsepower Cadillac truck I keep hearing GM is going to build
And it's not a caricature like trx is
For more of the extreme guys a gen 2 would still be better, people will find the rear 5 link layout will be extremely limiting when it comes to adding rear travel. The ability to plug in Long travel leafs and cut the bed and run a 18" shock, with out redesiging the rear suspension design. But stock for stock the 3rd Gen will be a better design
After owning a 2016 F165 for 5 years. I gotten used to the 2.7 aka 165 cuin twin turbo v6 sound. I have 81k miles and both of my turbos are good. My last fill up was 19 mpg mix driving. I used HP Tuner to raise my top speed to 120 mph. My stop/start does not work anymore. No I did not turn it off.
Joined the family at 81k subscribers now we're at 93k, I'm proud of the progress
Thanks so much Lucas! Glad to have you on board.
Gen 2 has a more aggressive front end IMO
Another great review, as always! And what a beautiful truck! I've been looking this over, and as tempting as it would be to get the Performance 37 Gen 3 Raptor, I'd likely stick to the 35 Gen 3 Raptor, as long as it still came with the springs rather than leafs.

The 37"s make it look so good
They make it slower too
I love that truck they did a great job my 14 has about 130 thousand miles on her I like the ecoboost it's a reliable engine so maybe when the dealer mark up goes down and shit goes back to normal im thinking in about 2 years if it's smooth sailing till than we should be good I'd take that one on 37s over the trex any day .

The edit deserves a lot of credit. Great work guys!
Mean af, probably the only truck I'd be happy to drive. Way to go Ford, made America proud on this one! 💯🔥
@Dr. WomenHateShortMen 🧐 not anymore, not with current gas prices 😂
Great video!!! One of the better videos on the Gen 3 Raptor! 👍 for being in Ontario Canada! I can't wait for my 2022 Raptor!
Are you mentioning that these are options on the 2nd gen? My 2017 gen 2 has the tailgate step
The Gen 2 did have the tailgate step option. Likely what happened was whoever built the Gen 2 chose not to add that $500 option and neither did I when I built my 2019 Raptor. It's really not useful, especially when considering how much the option is.
I love the mean and modern look of the old version , that looks sexier than the newer version for some reason , i wish the newer version had the front of the older version 😍😍😍
Quickly becoming 1 of my favorite car reviewers
the look of the red truck is just killing , way better than the white one.
6:20 The Gen 2 actually feels like a Raptor because it’s huge. And the interior still feels modern and the touch screen is fine, in the 14th Gen F-150 they just made the screen bigger but we almost don’t look at it because we are driving.

They do. my 2020 has a tailgate step.
I don't know what I like more, the car or the review!
I love the raptor so much.
I think it's more beautiful than the trx
Just bought this truck. I love it!

A lot of the stuff you were saying in the beginning about the 2020 wasn't right. They do have a full 360 "birds eye" camera as well as offering the tailgate step
The 37” tires look perfect on the truck. It makes the 35” tires look small and undersized!
It would be hard to choose but the 2022 would be the best pick honestly 👍
So proud of Ford Australia who designed and engineered Ford Ranger and the Gen 3 Raptor is hopefully my car in 2022. Ranger is #2 car in Australia, NextGen 3 Ranger will go #1 in Australia.
11/5000
Except for the newest Ranger，Ford Australia's cars are ugly，The dismantling of Ford Europe is a pity
Correction...Gen2 did have the steps as an option. No difference in design. I have a 21 and had a 20 both with steps. Great video otherwise.
Me too! Have the 2018 gen 2 and my package came with the step down tailgate
yes, my 2nd gen 2018 has it too.
2020 also has surround camera.
Time to start hustling some more. I need this in my life.
Like a criminal under cover

That little thing is for the Blue Cruise system that will implement the self driving feature, such as your Tesla. I’m not sure when the download will be available, but it should be soon.
I have the 2020 Raptor and the tailgate does have the step built in. That said, the new Raptor is awesome.
Same here...my 2019 has the tailgate step. Maybe it wasn't available in Canada.
Liked and subscribed❤
Beautiful review😍
i dont know where from you get your raptor 2020 ... i have a raptor 2020 an i have nearly all the features in the 2022 !!!!
Gen 2 looks better from outside
Love the quality of your videos
I ordered my 2022 Raptor today!!!
So sick!
Bro alot of those features on the gen 3 I have on my gen 2 lmao. You just don't have a very optioned out gen 2 no offense meant.
Also the production quality on this video is damn good man you guys do some good work!
Never cared for trucks but I’m 1000% sold
You're so fun! Instant sub 💯👏
This is my dream car hopefully I can afford the V8 when it comes out.
The 2nd Gen also has 360 camera... as well as a tailgate step.
4:04 The tailgate step and railing is available on all F-150s and Raptors as an option. To say it's not offered is incorrect. That checkbox wasn't selected when that particular 2020 Raptor was built-out on the order sheet. Very misleading.
He should go watch Doug Demuro's review of the previous gen Raptor.
Damn bruhh, I was debating about getting the new Raptor, and this video convinced me!!!
the small thing on the door frame i gues are active drive assist, uses a driver facing camera and infrared lightning to monitor your eyes and head position,to detect if you are distracted.
I repeat watching this video many times, I love this car. Hope to drive like this car in the future. Hayys.
My dream truck. May be I have to wait a little while and buy a slightly used one. I really love this car.
That black thing on the door is a sensor that watches your eyes in a way. If you're using its "self driving" feature then it'll make sure you're looking at the road and hands are on the wheel
Finally the correct answer!
the black glass cover in the door is a face recognition camera. it will detect if you are tired or just not looking forward...
quality vdos! awesome stuff! btw which is the bgm track played? adds damn punch to the cool quo!
The second gen looks so much more aggressive than the 3rd gen. That whole front end just doesn't look as agro anymore.
The 2022 is where it’s at, for me imo.
I just came across your channel. First video seen. I'm subscribing.
Thanks Jay!!
Raptor is the Top of the tops!
Have very basic f150, doesn’t have any vents on the back, only under seats. But the AC is still powerful enough to cool down temperature in hot Florida summers. My fancy bmw X5 has vents all over the place, and not even close to f150.
My 2020 has the step. Waiting on my 2022 to be delivered to my house!
wow and i was thinking of getting the 2020 ford raptor because i didn’t see a difference but you have changed my mind
Worth your effort Bro, I like this review
From PHILIPPINES New SUBCRIBER here...🙏
Awesome review vid!
Great video but you can get that pop out tailgate step assist on the 2020. I've test driven 3 raptors in 2020 model and they all have it. I also drove nothing but 802A equipped versions but wanted chime in since that wasn't quite accurate
For anyone looking to buy a raptor, I strongly recommend buying the 802 package. I know it cost a bit more but you’re never regret the purchase.
Looks exactly like my dream! Me and my son are just 😮❤
Great review !!!
So regarding that "sensor window" on the front of the drivers door.....I don't know what it is, but I believe the Owners Manual is loaded into the center console info panel/Nav/Head unit??
Good video with the exception of your crazy MPG figures between this and the TRX. They are only 3 MPG different as proven by TFL truck in a apples to apples driving scenario.
Pulled from the white label from manufacturer!
The Owners manual is loaded in the system, you can search and review it on the screen.
That’s what she said, it’s so wild and smooth.
The 2020 looks better!
That's one of the sensors on the inside driver's mirror panel for the Ford Blue Cruise Autonomous Driving.
The raptor is it’s heavy duty?
I would like to buy one of those but I work on construction I do tile installation & Demo
I like the ford design of older tailgate better
The sensors you were wondering about was for the Blue Cruise that will not be available.
If you haven’t figured this out by now, your main owners manual should be built into your truck like it’s in your computer/screens of your truck from what I researched
I think ford should make the next raptor a v8 hybrid. The electric motors boost its power to almost 900hp 🏆. I also personally like the headlights on the white model .
Yenno I’ll probably never get the chance to own a truck this awesome I have a 2009 F150 XLT and even tho it’s nothing compared to these beasts, it’s a best of a truck to me.
I like how excited you get when you drive it
I think the black marker on the pillar lights up when someone is in your blind spot
I prefer the ones that don’t have a $30-$40,000 dealer markup
My next car for sure ❤
the grill and exterior on the new raptor is growing on me
Beautiful just beautiful can't wait to get me one and travel ,travel, travel thank you ford
So how long did it take you to wash?
Ha! Great question!
About an hour.
My Gen 2 2019 has the step in the tailgate and also opens with ease and with the key fob too. It doesn’t go back up like the Gen 3 tho. Hmm weird. I wonder why mine has the tail step and the one in the vid doesn’t
I have a question, how much oil does it consume on a daily basis?
Красная машина просто сумасшедший вид! Это просто кайф. Молодцы производитель Ford !!!
Very good presentation about gen 3 raptor
Definitely GUN compartments bud 💪🏾
If i am not Wrong..
Leaf springs are more sturdy than the Coil spring !
