Very thorough review, nice job. I have had a '22 Raptor for a few months now and agree with everything you said in the review. It is a fantastic truck and daily driver. Ford really got the transmission dialed in on the new truck, so intuitive. Nothing like the clunky shifting on my 2019.
@@Driven-Productions I was on the fence between a ZR2 and the Raptor, but pretty sure you’ve sold me on the Raptor. Have you done anything on the ZR2 that I should watch before I fully decide? Hope you can keep growing the channel to move to it full time 👍
@@jaredlee9427 I have not had a chance to review the ZR2. Check out the Rivian R1T review though if you just need a cool truck daily and don’t need to haul a lot.
@@Driven-Productions thanks man, I’ll check that out. I have 3 young kiddos and had to get rid of a Gladiator due to lack of space, so I’m concerned about its size. But I’m always open to watching cool videos about cars and trucks 👍 Think there’s probably a few out there going back and forth on a ZR2 vs the Ecoboost Raptor…plenty of similarities in options offered, but it’s a 6.2L V8 vs the 6cyl Ecoboost and the ZR2 is almost $10K cheaper.
nice review but dont say the shifts are much better than the TRX ... Im a ford fan boy and i admit that the trx shifts more much better than the raptor .. lets be honest
Yes I have a question I test drove a 2022 Ford raptor yesterday and the price right now is 72,000 it only has 4,000 miles on it would you as a car guru recommend buying a vehicle of that magnitude with 4000 miles you know of any issues or anything on that, plus I have a trade-in and I'll be putting down a few thousand dollars but would you buy that even knowing it's been used there's not a speck of damage or anything on it thank you if you could get back with me.
Excuse me but I'm a bit confused. I am flying out to pick up my Code Orange 01AC group Raptor in a couple days. Mine is running 35's which unless you get the 37 performance package is what comes standard. Is this the 37? Correct me if I'm wrong.
This one is the 37" package: distinct beadlock capable wheels and some suspension modifications. You can fit 37" KO2s on a 35 without any rubbing or day to day issues. Just wouldn't jump it.
If you want to avoid scratching up the metal, a bed liner or a weather tech cover is very nice. Also the grip of a weather tech or spray in prevents contents from sliding around, which is a plus for me.
Truck absolutely in nice, but those clown bar graph gauges has got to go! Ford needs to look at how Porsche designs their gauges and just copy it!!! Even Honda does a better job in designing analog gauges!!!
A tire is not a wheel. The raptors didn’t start in 2015 hahaha. You should do some actual off-roading before you review a purpose built off-road truck.

Thank you for watching and commenting sir. Please subscribe love your thoughts on future videos
I’ve watched hours of videos on the Gen 3 Raptor and this is one of the best reviews I’ve seen 👍
Ford owes you some commissions 😋
Really appreciate the kind words. Wish I could make a living doing this, maybe one day.

Without stickers looks so good!
Agree. Stickers kinda make it look like a boys toy.
This truck has almost everything one needs!
Yeah, liked it more than I thought I would. More than everything anyone needs, but why not live in a world of want and not need. 🫡

2 months later , there are 3 raptors at my local dealer and more lightings than u can shake a stick at

Seems fair to me 👊
Is the R turbo charged? Super charged? Naturally aspirated?
The R is supercharged similar engine I believe to the GT500. This one is turbocharged.
The Ron Jeremy of steering wheels😂😂😂
Old Jeremy Clarkson line 💯 The GOAT
Ford refers to the wheel as the Hedgehog

Does anyone know if there are any positives of not having a bed liner? For $93,000, you’d think the truck would come with a bed liner.
If you want to avoid scratching up the metal, a bed liner or a weather tech cover is very nice. Also the grip of a weather tech or spray in prevents contents from sliding around, which is a plus for me.
I have a blue 2nd gen, wish I could upgrade to this!
One day 💯
Which dealer 5k over MSRP ?
Well we sold this one at $5k over, although I’ve seen higher from franchise dealers, especially for R models way higher.
what is name of company that sells the trucks? Thanks
It was Direct Auto of TN, but they went under last year.

A V8 and a lower price=PERFECT
That would be nice, but at $110k before any adm fees the R is expensive. Kinda makes you want to get a V8 gen 1
Tired of all the over sticker scams.. just one of the reasons our economy is shit these days is people ripping each other off
It’s the free market capitalism doing what it does my man. Supply and demand
🔥🔥😮💨
Ron Jeremy steering wheel?!? “Nice and thick and feels good”. WTF!
Old Top Gear line, from Jeremy Clarkson my man. 😂
You ran multiple stop signs.
I'd take the Raptor over the TRX!
Ford is the only manufacturer to charge 100 thousand dollars for a truck without a heated steering wheel. Sad.
5000 over MSRP? Lol
Back then that was a solid deal for a spec like this with the 37 package.
Not worth above MSRP
Well that is why it’s almost the perfect truck right, she ain’t cheap.
My fucking Dream Car. 💪🔥
Just for the price adjustment I’m going dislike this video
😔
