The Raptor is a status symbol for a lot of the buyers. They don’t refer to it as an F-150, it’s a Raptor. All the money put into the F-150, in large part will not be recouped in resale. Whereas the raptor holds its value extremely well. Great video, Mike.
i do agree with the resale thing, but... i will tell you about Brazilian F150.... its costs us in Brazilian money (F150 Platinum v8 5.0 = 100.000 USD), with the taxes, yeah... our corrupt goverment takes that, 100% of the price in taxes, so they can eat caviar and stay in nice hotels on govermental trips... but back... if I want to have the raptor will take about 250.000 USD or more to import it to Brazil.. So what I do, I will buy the F150 Platinum, will send back to USA, set all the acessories that i want, wheels, tyres, flares, suspension, supercharger, everything, will cost me about 35.000 USD for the acessories, installed in USA, then bring back to Brazil, this will save me about 40.000 USD.... do you believe it? yeah... in terms of cars and taxes american have a huge advantage.
V6 won't hold value
"believe it or not, we don't really use the bed that much"
No one is surprised.
2A All Day This is exactly what I was thinking. Why are you spending $70k if you aren’t going to use a truck what a truck is used for?
Weston Giles some people just like them for off-roading
Jobu Jobu True. When off-roading, you typically use the bed eventually. At least you should!
🤣🤣🤣
What’s the point of having a truck like that without using the bed. Doesn’t make sense lol
99% of people who buy a 70k Raptor are not gonna Baja off-road it. So a 35k modified F150 that looks visually close just makes sense.
David Stewart its funny, same goes with jeep wrangler rubicon’s. I see more on 22’s than with beefy tires to do what they are made to do.
The SVT Lightning was the truck for the street. I miss mine. Had and '02 for 8 years.
All the raptor haters never owned or even been in a raptor.
You can't beat the resale of a raptor.
Buy a used one with low miles and save 15-20k.
Also his xlt has a few grand in mods.
Drive a raptor vs an xlt, night and day. Then come back and talk to me.
@steveo314 I see plenty of dirty ZR2's though... for a another solid 30k less than the Raptor lol
@@joshruiz809 I loved the SVT Lightning. There is an old timer who drives a red one in my town and it looks brand new. Every time I see it I am more impressed.
Says he doesn’t use the bed, buys two pickup trucks for 35k and 70k
Vincent Iglio he’s a dumbass
Vincent Iglio He leased it for three years too, so he actually paid $36000 plus the $8500 in mods. So $44000.
He got a huge engine cause it sounds great. Lol
E P I hate to break it to you but a 3 year lease is a lot more than $10,000 especially for that trim package
SMH I thought the same exact thing.
That small carbon fiber wrap around the touch screen is definitely worth the extra 40k
Agreed
Or you could just get a wrap
It doesn’t come around the touch screen factory. It’s the shifter, door panels, glove box and the sliding door in the console.
You do get a wider truck, bigger tank, and more mileage on the raptor. Plus it’s better for off roading.
@@ryanmcnally4613 soo, raptors have the standard 26 gal tank of any normal f150. while the standard F-150 has an optional 36 gal tank. Also a Raptor gets worse mpg (15/18) than a 5.0 F-150 (17/23).
Great videos man! You changed my whole opinion on buying a lower trim truck and making it something you love 👍🏼
I have a 2018 Raptor with the same spec and love it. I much prefer having every feature you can ask for plus the suspension setup, all OEM. Only thing I did was do a Corsa resonator delete to up the exhaust volume a bit.
Love what you did with the XLT. Definitely my favorite of the two
I have been waiting for a video like this forever! Great Video Mike!
Just bought my F150 and am doing a lot of the same mods because of you! im going to film it along the way too and try to not mess it all up lol
Great video brotha! Made some really good points and it was cool to see you actually chose the xlt!
The hood on the real Raptor is sick and reminds me of the Army Hummers I used to drive in the early 2000s.
If 10% of Raptor owners actually use the truck for it's off-road use, I'd be surprised. 75-80K isn't something people want to put at risk! Great videos as always, Mike!
Mason Langosch perfect example shown here
I Don't see what's wrong with keeping the raptor on the pavement. I Know a lot of raptor "enthusiasts" like to comment about, "It's meant to be driven off road! Not driven to Starbucks!" It's easy to comment about somebody else's money/property. I Would be the rest of the 90%! The Raptor is a beautiful truck, and i don't feel like dinging up a 80K truck. Personally? I Would get something less bulky and a whole lot cheaper to off road. A Few open flat fields/open sand would be fun, but i can't imagine putting a Raptor in steep/climbing conditions.
My Raptor is one of the best trucks Ive owned It is not a work truck But that's not what its made for I live in the country and have to drive on gravel roads everyday The Raptor handles the roads better than any other truck out there
I agree, he said it on the video the Raptor never gets used for hauling or towing anything, he rarely even drives it.. so why do they need a truck in the first place? Might aswell buy a sub if you aren't going to use the truck. Lol but as with most people they buy things for status not to actually use it. Poor Raptor will never touch a blade of grass or grain of sand unless it's on the driveway.
Mason Langosch Agreed, personally I would just buy a luxury trim instead at the price point.
+J2 J Any truck would handle those roads just fine though.
I think both of the trucks look amazing
So in other words, you are the wife.
Common Paul wtf are you tryin' proof, dude.
By law the wife is supposed to have the better vehicle
Max DiGiuseppe dog it’s a joke don’t be such a bitch
hahahahaha sounds about right
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great video. You helped me decide on what truck to get. Will be getting rid off my 2001 F150, and getting the 2015 F150. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Finally a side by side review
Now that the front end is wrapped I am glad that you did this video of the comparison between the Raptor and Raptor Lite. lol ... Both are extremely BADASS trucks in their own right and have their own endearing qualities. I actually don't mind the sound of the Raptor it is loud enough for me (yes I am only 35 years old not a grandpa), but I do love the sound of the V8 with the Borla Atak more for sure. Obviously as stated the big differences are the SuperCrew vs SuperCab, Fox Shocks (which you will get later with a better lift kit) and the interior luxury features. If the 2015 was a Lariat or higher it would be much closer. Even though the Raptor is cool, I always enjoy seeing how people personalize their own vehicles and that in itself is a 2nd kind of COOL! :D
I love this kind of comparison. Thank you for the great and detailed information. I would like to know your thoughts on the recently released Ford Ranger in the US.
I'd be happy with either but the modified F-150 looks amazing..looks better than the stock Raptor. Great wheel choice and build!
I can't really say which one is my favorite because I like both of them. Both trucks are "chill". They're unique and really nice trucks in their own right. Of course, the "mods" that you have added to the F150 made it look even better, despite the cops telling you that you had to remove some really great "mods".
Tell the cops to get rid of their modified engines and drive with the stock engine from the factory sure they can still catch criminals.
well for $35k you get just the basics but all the mods you did to the 2015 xlt f150 im digging the regular f150 xlt.
Enjoyed your video I had a 2017 f-150 with the 5.0 the motor blew☹️ but now I have a 2020 raptor and you just can’t beat it.
If you came for the Cheaper one.. 11:00
Daniel thx
I'll take a modded XLT any day. Thanks for making the video. The exhaust is perfect on the XLT BTW
Went from a lifted f150 like yours to the raptor. The raptor ended up costing 20k cad more than the lifted f150 but its worth every dollar and i would never go back. Great videos as always.
Still got my 2018 leadfoot gray f150. Love it as much today as I did then. Love the colour. I wouldn't trade my truck in for anything. Especially after the mods
Hey man, the 2015 xlt is very good condition. Y’all have taken good care of it. I just got my lariat and hoping it will look like this 10 years down the line
Thank you for your awesome videos
I'd still take the V8 I'm affraid. I couldn't justify the 70k
You can find the original 6.2L Raptor for fairly cheap now and many are in great shape.Def worth it.
@@iCycle086 where can I get a Raptor for fairly cheap? And how much is fairly cheap?
Same price or cheaper than the F-150 in the video.
Old raptors are a great deal.
Rowdy Guice I actually replied to that other comment and it doesn’t seem to be here which is frustrating. I found three raptors in my area for 32-35k lowest mileage one had 47k on it and looked to be in really good shape. I bought a zr2 new bc I got a ridiculous deal on it but had I not done that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a used raptor. Still might one day lol
Love your videos, I’m building a raptor myself, you’re a big inspiration!
Dude I do really like your videos, I don't know if I can afford a raptor but I can a f150, I've been watching your videos for almost 2 years now. my f150 2015 was stolen from my garage and I got the money to pay it cash with some mods, thanx dude!
It's not "crew cab" in Ford language, it's a "SuperCrew" in Ford language
right!
Wasn't this for the earlier raptors? Like 2011-2014 or something. I think they have changed it.
Yavor Martinov I’ve got a 2019 F-150 and they still call it super crew on the sticker.
You are absolutely correct
That awkward moment when the wife owns an off road raptor 😂
His wife probably brings home the $$$
He’s the bitch now lol
His wife believes in go big or stay home
The dude has a Ferrari f12
He purchased the Raptor for her as a gift, she didn’t pay for it
I bought a Ford F-150 super crew king ranch and I can say with out a doubt it is the perfect blend between these two it can with all the raptor interior (except the raptor logos) and the sun roof but it does have massage seats the but that F-150 looks so clean🤩
Excellent video and a good comparison between the two trucks. I am a long time Jeep guy but I plan on adding a F150 to my garage to keep my Jeep TJ company. I like what you did to the F150 - it is a sharp looking truck. Great channel - subbed.
Scott
17:06 AutoVlog almost hits someone and remembers he has collision warning.. HAHAHAHA
3:15 'we don't actually use the beds very often'
Owns 2 pickup trucks
not exactly the smartest or most sustainable buying practices lmao
At least his wife had something in hers.....even if just a bag of some old ass flowerpots 😂
Great video Sir and thanks for the detailed information on both trucks. I have watched a few of your videos now on the Raptor.
A few observations specific to this video are: (i) The price of your Ford F-150 XLT was probably closer to 50K all said and done. You mentioned that you leased the vehicle for 36 months which probably included a down payment and then monthly lease payment with a buyout at 26K. I added that in so I did a quick computation of 26K buyout + 8.5K mods + 14K lease over 36 months = 48.5K which is essentially 50K; (ii) I noticed a lot of vibration on your driver's side door on the F-150 XLT during your drive. That vibration over time will affect the seal on the door most likely. Not being critical, these are just observations. With those observations, I'm going with a 50K moded F-150 vs 70K Raptor
So, I do own a Ford Performance vehicle which is the 2017 Mustang GT 350. Since owning that vehicle, I have felt blessed to have driven a piece of engineering perfection.
My final conclusion and thoughts are that there is something special going on at Ford Performance right now and anyone who has a chance to take advantage of this opportunity should look into one of these vehicles. I'll be getting a Raptor soon despite the price tag and will even trade in my supercharged Audi S to get it. Thank you to him for Ford Performance Division. God Bless America and Long Live the Republic!
Agreed, well said.
I like the way your XLT sounds!
What is the mpg difference on the highway? How about towing?
Good video. Thanks.
I'd rather have the 35k one any day. A bench seat and a V8 tuned? I want it lol.
DJTexan 4202 383 Z71 on ranchos would crush both of them @$5000
TheBikemaster94 but nobody wants a chevy truck 😂
jldude84 no one gets 100% use out of a truck that has a v8, and can do 140 and pull a minivan with an elephant on it.
yeah sure but some people want the v8 not just for towing but for torque and power on a everyday basis.
I appreciate this, very well put together video
Great video!! I agree, I’m currently waiting for the bank to get back to me but it’s between the 74k raptor or a 2017 f150 xl Lariat and I’m leaning towards the f150 xl. Thanks again for a well informed video.
I’d still get a 1st gen raptor with that amazing sounding v8😍
Heck yeah
"we don't use the beds that much" yeah we know.
Your face after starting your black truck had me laughing out loud 🤣🤣
I like the aftermarket head and tail lights better on the f150 than the raptor stock stuff. I would be over the moon happy with either one really both super nice
Good morning Mike. I’ll take that Raptor.
I'd take the Raptor, but I'd buy the F-150.
I would go for the F-150 because its setup the exact way you want it.
Good call since they are both F-150s
Thank you very much! Absolutely awesome brah!
Such Great content is made on this channel!
6:58 🤣 your face says exactly what I was thinking about the sounds
I'd like to find a lifted supercab f150 xlt for 35 grand.
I work for Ford I’ve had a 2019 XLT just bought a pre-owned raptor 2017 a doctor owned it I couldn’t pass it up. It was a steal for me. The thing looked detailed and not a scratch on it when he v traded it in. I can’t explain what it is but something about the Raptor just feels better. You can change the exhaust to get the sound.
Sick trucks dude. The Raptor is my dream truck, even though I live in NYC. Plenty out here too bro !!
When I seen what could be done to a stock f150, I traded in my jeep and bought my first F-150. This video convinced me the F-150 has the most after market mods of any truck available.
For sure. You can turn 2008 f150s into 2016 looking f150s.
Without a doubt they have by far the best aftermarket support out there. F150s are basically the Glock 19 of trucks.
Perfectly Balanced lol
Here’s a crazy idea, sweet talk your wife into putting a Borla Attack exhaust on the raptor.
The Borla Attack sounds like crap on the V6. He should get the Corsa Xtreme. I did just the Corsa resonator delete and it made a big difference.
Both trucks are sweet. I like both. I’ve got an XLT love it. I’m not real into leather myself. I’ve got the 2.7 Ecoboost and it does great. I like the feel of the turbos. Makes it feel faster. Mine is set up for towing. With the highest package for XLT. As for those trucks they both are set up for a different feel and preference. Thumbs up
Cannot wait for the ford lightning to raptor conversion videos
I dub thee "The Fraptor" 😂😂
F150 sounds so good, I hope Ford makes a Raptor with a V8 again.
the new V6 is much more powerful than the V8, why do you want a slower Raptor?
It ain’t gonna happen. Thank god, cause v8 fuel economy will suck!
TE 300 a modern gen forced induction V8 is obviously what I meant. Not the old N/A V8s.
I heard that the 2019 ford raptors are going to have 7.0 v8
Have you ever had to pull an engine to replace a failed turbo?? Twin turbo engine has A LOT of extra parts that will fail in time. That’s why. I’d much much rather have a naturally aspirated V8, even if has slightly less power. It will be WAY more reliable in the long run. I have owned a twin turbo v6 and I can tell you they are huge complicated piles of junk once they’re over 100k miles. Nightmares. F THAT
This was EXACTLY the video I needed! Thanks! excuse me...gotta go search out my F150 base truck for a project.
Thanks for the comparison.
I looked at a house today. 4 Bedroom 2 bath cost 75k lmao!
Emilthehun what city/state
What city/state Houses in my neighborhood start at $500,000 I need to move
If your 4 bed 2 bath house cost 75k, I’m LMAO at your location.
@@TobyCostaRica because you are jealous?
Where I’m from, a 4 bed 2 bath costs 750k.
3:13 "That is NOT a dead body."
...then immediately checks to see if it actually was a dead body.
HAHAHAHA! 😜
Who did you kill this time
Great Video! You pushed me right off the fence..
The look on your face when you heard the exhaust classic!
Hey, are you the guy in that boat fail video?
John Skogman “TURN DOWN FOR WHAT”
Gotta watch the “remix”
😂😂
If his wife was one of the gals in that fail, that would explain why his wife has the Raptor...
Great video. I liked the review from your wife too.
g1rl6oo she nailed it... likes the luxo features
I have a good ear for music, who ever produced the intro has TALENT.
Love both trucks..great mod on the f150. Curious to know if you needed the cold air intake since you got the borla exhaust.
Give the F-150 a Roush supercharger.. BOOM now its as powerful, and sounds even better
ben russ still wouldn’t have the off-road capability as the Raptor.
Matt S who takes a Raptor off road?
Would love to have one of these but UK petrol prices and roads, especially London roads not ideal lol
as soon as you turned on the 5.0 i hit that like button.. lol nothing like hearing that purr..
With all those mods and upgrades it looks awesome. Ever think of upgrading seats with Katskin leather??
I’m not a Ford guy but I prefer the Raptor because for one it’s a Raptor and secondly it’s a full size pickup. F-150 looks kinda weird with that little half door that it has.
I actually have a feeling that the F150 sounds better than the AMG. It just pops way too much
My truck has the N/A version of the 3.5 EcoBoost. With my exhaust cutout open, it pops so much on deceleration that it's annoying.
That exhaust is everything a car enthusiast desires. Wow
P.s. my saweet 2012 blue f150 fx4 will be looking and sounding very similar, and soon! Thanks for the tips and the insight.
I have the 2015 XLT (4 door tho) with a 4 inch bds suspension lift. And I gotta say I love it.. wouldn’t spend over 40k for a truck tbh. But if I was I would get the Ford F-150 roush edition. sounds amazing
Nothing wrong with having two trucks, it’s a free country!
Yes it’s big, but safety is a great factor. Durability is better than most cars at an equal pricing.
Rudy-The-Cuban Gonzalez too bad theyre fords
jclark I’ve had a few Fords sadly the 2015 F150 XLT Super cab 4x4 Ecoboost 2.7L but it disappointed me in many ways.
"Safety" for the single occupant in the truck...increased risk for everyone else.
Rudy-The-Cuban Gonzalez I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 207,000 miles on it and still going strong. I also have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 on with 124,000 miles and still going strong and it's a beast.
For about $300 you can get very nice leather seat covers from Clazzio. We did that to my dad's F150 and it looks like it came that way.
niyr Leather is colder in the winter. So keep it in original
colder in winter, hotter in summer. Its just a looks thing xD
Love your videos!!
A lot of these features I have on my 2018 Ford Explorer
Hey Mike, ONE major oversight that you did not cover in this side-by-side comparison ?!? How well each truck RETAINS it's VALUE. Those Ford Raptors HOLD 81% of their sticker price after 3 years. The standard F-150 is closer to 53% mark. In addition, all of those aftermarket modifications will not help to bolster the truck's "blue book" value at all. Hope this helps Yo !
If anything, the mods decrease the value.
I would never buy a 2wd, I go off road way too much
Love the intro music can you tell me the name of it thanks thank you
I test drove a 2017 Raptor and it was nice, but too expensive. I ended up getting a 2012 RAM 1500 ST (5.7L Hemi) and I love it. For the money you can't beat the performance and styling. It is the opposite of a Raptor, since it literally has no luxury, it is pretty fast though (as fast as a Raptor). Love my truck.
I know it's probably not a high priority but what's your Mpg on the 5.0 with the wheel /tire setup ? Trying to decide between the 3.5 vs 5.0 , and Its coming down to mpg for me. For me Power and towing are both good enough and sound isn't a big deal. So I'm letting the mpg make up my mind. I will be buying a 2018 to get the 10speed
Dude I love your videos and both trucks are amazing even tho I’m not a big ford guy but I’m sorry personally I still would have went with the year with the v8 just the sound of a v8 is amazing to me
Looks like ur wife’s the pants wearer lol 😂
@Mike_13th I'm old Greg!
is kind of like comparing apples to oranges because of the price difference, but I would rather have the Raptor. I have the STX sport 4x4 with some cool wheels and tires...It would take a lot of persuading to peel me away from "My Truck", so I get the fact that personal mods helps with owner appreciation. Great Video, thanks
Like you say mike there is no replacement. For displacement,love your truck
We need a new lightning svt 150
u could also put a supercharger in the stock f150 which will blow the raptor away
Only missing leather seats on your truck, but it is really cool the way it is with the mods you did.
Don't worry about any negative comments that you receive, this video review is top of the line, the perfect example of what youtube was built for. Kudos to you brother, I am very jealous of your ability to hit the mark on making a video. If I had that talent, I would make videos everyday. You have hit all the marks on a professional youtube video. Last remark, does your wife have a single sister? Oh, and Borla ATAK is the bomb!
3:08 "we don't use the bed".. Then what's the point of owning even one pick up truck?
perhaps they use it occasionally? I only really use my bed 5-6 times a year for when I go camping but I love knowing that if I go to best buy and buy a TV I can get it home. Plus the ride height of a pickup is a huge pluc.
@@TheDragonslaya2000 also towing
Oh yeah and don't forget. It's fucking awesome
Well i also feel everyone needs a truck. Unless you live in an apartment
Because they can afford it? Lol. Believe it or not, trucks have become more luxury and people just leave shit in their beds all year so it looks like a work truck haha
Get your hands on a Hennessy Velociraptor 6x6 👀
Yes and then give it back because those things have 8 million different issues and the people who own them barely get to drive them due to them being constantly in repair lmfao.
Good man
Tough call. Nice clip
I actually like the look of the F150 better. Need to black out those ford badges to match everything else though
