A proper review is correct . I am about to spend $90,000 on a pick up truck so I have been hunting videos such as this. This is the most thorough video about the new 2021 raptor there is . Thanks for all this excellent content will definitely shop is your stuff.
Thanks Mark! That’s great to hear! We are enthusiasts too! So it means more to us than most. We’re just like you. We want the facts and we want people we can count on!
Excellent review sir. You gave us information that applies to “real world” living with this vehicle. I used to own a 2018 model and parking it inside my garage was always a careful and painful task. I’m so glad you mentioned the potential problems of parking this vehicle with the 37 package!!! My garage dimensions have not changed and I hate to leave my vehicles out in the open. I guess no 37 package for me! If someone out there has figured out a good way to park this truck in congested parking lots, I’m all ears. I sold my Raptor mainly because I was terrified careless people would dent or scratch my truck while parked. It took every bit of space in parking spots. Parking wherever I went became a shore that almost had to be planned ahead of time. It took a lot of the fun away from owning this amazing truck.
I'm still a hard-core Gen 1 myself, but nice presentation. Most reviews are rushed and they don't cover each item in depth. You certainly covered a lot more, and explained the accessories better. My 2010 Raptor SVT didn't come with the graphics package either. I've got the V8 6.2 engine. I like a lot of the features with the new Raptors, but my heart will always be with my SVT.❤
Appreciate it man. I hoped it would help and be more informative than what I’ve seen. Someone commented it wasn’t a review because I didn’t drive it… he said it was just a demonstration of features??? I’m not sure I agree with that? It was a review of features and benefits. Anyway, I don’t think you get much from a driving video aimed at the guy talking while he/she drives. You can’t really tell what it feels like from watching a driver drive and talk. The only way I think a driving video gives much detail is when it’s something taken off-road with cameras in and outside of the vehicle, even close ups from a third person perspective. That’s my thoughts. What are you’re thoughts? Since the video seemed to help you a little. Would you think it would have been better if I drove it like that? That’s kind of what I was trying to get away from unless it was more of an off-road driving demo from all perspectives.
Thank you for the great description. You just made up my mind for me. Ford took back my 2018 Raptor under the lemon law. I took a 2021 Platinum power boost because they exclude Raptors for replacement vehicles . I Will be trading it in as soon as I can find a dealer that has a 2022 Raptor allocation not wanting $5000 over MSRP. Best description yet.
Why FORD includes the interior when it comes to an exterior package is really strange. Keep them separate,why not make that interior option for the 35 tire available
Great video! Thank you so much, very in-depth not like most. I receive my new Raptor next month and your video showed me a lot of great information. Thanks again.
I have 2018. But recently I went in for service. They did some update believe the power stuff is at whole different level. Response to accelerator is at whole different level
Great review! Blue Recaro interior is now stand alone option with 2022MY and not grouped with 37” package. Also tailgate step is grouped together with moonroof.
REALY REALY ... YOU ARE INDEED AN EXCEPTIONAL EXCELLENT PRESENTER 👏 👌 👍 ... MOST CAR PRODUCERS 🚗 SHOULD USE YOU ... UNBELIEVABLE HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING IN AN EXTREMELY DETAILED CLEAR WAY ... I AM REALY IMPRESSED AS IF I READ THE WHOLE CATALOGUE OF THE CAR 🚗 ... CAR COMPANIES SHOULD USE YOU IF THEY WANT TO MAKE IMMEDIATE SALES ... I AM FROM SAUDI ARABIA 🇸🇦 BUT I NOW HAVE A FULL CLEAR IDEA ABOUT THIS FAMOUS FORD CAR 🚗 ... THANKS A MILLION DEAR SIR ...
I love my standard leather seats in my 17 compared to these. These do not seem to be bolstered as much. Will have to sit in the new one to make a final judgment. Loving the new exterior more and more.
'17, '18 seats were all leather and really nice. '18,'19' added cloth inserts which looked cheap to me. Stitching on my '19 started failing at 10K and ford didn't have a good warranty solution other than an upholstery shop.. These look better but I wish they would ditch the cloth insert idea.
Yeah, tough decision. What made up my mind was the fact that it would be just barely too tall to fit in the garage, as well as the blue seats that come with the package. Someone pointed out that the blue seats wouldn't be required for the 37 package in 22, but I haven't confirmed that. The last was the taller tires. Where it may have even more cushion (but it doesn't need more) the taller the sidewall, the less responsive on pavement on hard cornering at higher speeds. In life, everything has trade offs. It just depends on what your preferences are.
Excellent review! Excellent truck! But how will this truck do in cold, snowy, icy weather at altitude in ski country, like in the Rocky Mountains or New England, even up in Canada? That's even more important to me than hot weather, off roading, that and lot's of highway and secondary road miles to get to the ski areas. The best skiing is during snow storms, after all, and I want to be able to get anywhere, anytime in any kind of weather, including bad snow storms. Any thoughts and/or experience to share on this issue? Thanks.
Well technically it’s designed as a high speed desert dune jumping beast. However, sand and snow have similar characteristics if you think about it, with the exception that snow can pack and harden. However in the desert, you may have rocks which are hardened and sand. In general, the large wide tires with heavy tread grab snow, and ice just about as well as they do sand. You can dig a hole in sand by spinning the tires to hard too fast just like you can snow. You can get stuck in a sand rut and need 4 wheel drive in both, and you can certainly lose control in high speed corners as sand in quantity can be fluid (movement) just like snow. All that said, I live in the Midwest and we get snow and with the 4 wheel drive capability, big tires and suspension, I think it out performs just about anything. You can always add a winch if you think you might get stuck. John
@@jtrischler Hey, thanks for the substantive reply. I waited so long to decide, that now, ordering F150's is problematic, so many chips and other things not available. I even think I saw somewhere that Ford was stopping making the F150 line until the supply issued cleared up. If that's true, than I may end up going for a very recent late model used instead, but one that has all the stuff in it. I am a little concerned about the extra 5" width being wider than the snow tracks on highways for instance made by cars of normal width. If you've ever driven on highways during snow storms, it tends to be fine while you are in a lane, but changing lanes things get wishy washy, slippery, and i am concerned with that extra 5" on the width it would never get into the groove and would always be a big slippy slidey on highways in snow storms. What brought this concern to my attention was a youtube video of this vehicle off road in the woods in some hardened ruts, and instead of tracking well within the ruds, it was forever sliding up and down both sides of the ruts. It was actually more of a concern than the once instance in that video where the tracks went between two trees that were so close that the driver had to nearly stop and inch forward to make sure the trees didn't knock of the side mirrors trying to get thru. I loved that extra 5" on the width, until these two concerns came up, primarily the snowstorm one. This has opened me up to consider the Tremor which is only 1" wider than normal, but sadly the Tremor only has springs in the front and has leafs in the rear, while the Raptor has springs both front and rear. Apparently part of the reason the Raptor has been identified as the smoothest driving pick up on highway driving in the market (Though I have heard the Tremor isn't bad).
I just got the 37 but I want to take the decals off I got this exact color black interior orange stitching I just don't want people telling me it's not the 37 after I do it
Nice! Thanks! Check us out for all your accessories for your new Raptor! We have bed covers, lights, you name it. We will have industry exclusive Fog replacements, light bar kits etc! Spvparts.com
@@drevenaguilar8598 Hey Dreven. So Ford eliminated the 802A code. They didn’t eliminate the trim level though. In the previous generation, they had 800a base, 801a middle and 802a premium. This Gen, they just have 800a base and 801a premium. So the 801a is the same as the 802a used to be. They just simplified it. They could have just had 800a and 802a, but I think they just thought it was cleaner to have 800a and 801a. So great question. They just trimmed that mid level out. In fact, even that base model 800a has more content. It’s probably closer to what the old 801a used to be.
The bed inside is virtually the same. The only difference is that top bulk head to the frame of it by the cab that is thinner. That caused the track lengths of bed covers to need changed unfortunately, but it did zero to add space to the bed.
No. That's not a real thing yet. Google and Tesla have been working on that for vehicles. It does have their "Co-Pilot 360" type of adaptive cruise control which supposedly will be capable of some future updates. I am not sure how autonomous it is capable of becoming in the future with just updates. There will be a lot of regulations, requirements and probably updates to roadways and infrastructure before that becomes a common thing. The Adaptive cruise and "Co-Pilot 360" features have sensors so that when on cruise control, they will slow down when vehicles in front of you do, and even come to a stop and start moving again when the vehicle in front of you does. All without touching the pedal. You still need to steer though. However, with the lane keeping system, it somewhat can stay within the lines if you take your hands off the wheel for a moment. I wouldn't trust that though. I think that's what the updates will probably be able to improve. The lane keeping technology. So you can put it on CC and take your hands off the wheel for a short bit in some situations, but it isn't 100% there yet. Also, if you come to a stoplight and someone ISN'T in front of you. It won't stop. So lots of upgrades in those areas and that's the way vehicles are moving, but as a whole, no one has perfected that technology for public use yet.
The way that the title is written I thought that this video was going to be about a literal wash and detail combined with the way the main image was constructed it really looks like it was going to be a wash and detail… might want to rewrite it lol. “2021 FORD RAPTOR REVIEW DETAILED LOOK” or something …
Well, I can't speak as to how they compared it? Or if they had a preproduction model that maybe wasn't tuned the same or not. All I can say is, I have owned a 2017, the 2019 and put several miles on both, as well as driven and sold Hundreds and Hundreds of them when I ran that department at a dealership, including the 2010-2014's with the Roush Supercharged V8 package and the 17+. Of them, I can personally attest that the new gen feels a lot faster, and more responsive. Very visibly so. I can also say, that added performance and better shifting comes at a cost of about 1mpg.. but not a big deal. I would rather have the power. So the claim that it performs better is from PERSONALLY experience. I didn't dyno test them. I just drove them. However, there is no question that a GT500 type supercharged V8 in a Raptor R will be much faster. The question is, who will be able to afford one? Let alone find one available. (Trust me, I would rather have the V8 all day long) That truck will no doubt be awesome! But with this model coming out between $80,000 and $85,000 loaded up.... With many dealers charging $5k-10K over sticker... I would venture to guess the MSRP on the Raptor R to be no less than $100,000. Remember, the Shelby GT500 track (R) model was like $102k MSRP with the normal one around $80k. However, that GT500 Track model sold at dealers for an average of $25k-30k over MSRP. You also have a great point with the 37's. Those tires will absolutely reduce high speed performance and fuel economy. Often people don't understand that just because it is an option you can check off, doesn't mean it is the best option for you, or even a step above. The 37 model has a purpose. It is a more capable desert dweller and rock climber, etc. For most though, who want an awesome road queen, those 37's are larger, and heavier and require more power for the motor and axles to turn those wheels, and therefore eat up more fuel and rob some end use power and acceleration. Also, the taller the tire, the more flex. So hard cornering ability is reduced in a 37 over a 35. With anything, its give and take. You can put low profile tires on 20" wheels and it will out corner a 17" wheel with 35's... but it won't have a soft ride. The Raptor, with it's Fox suspension and tall tires ride better and smoother than any truck I have ever ridden in, but how much is enough and how much is too much? It all depends on how you want to use it and what the benefits vs the trade offs are. The 37" sits higher and has a different stance, but it's all in what your buying it for. On a side note, since we are discussing motors, and the Raptor R and the GT500 R. I am sure you all saw the Lightning that is coming in 2022? That all electric engine makes major power. In fact, it's ironic that Ford brought out the GT500 in 2020 and claimed it made more power than any Mustang... Then this year, they came out with the Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition. It is supposed to be even faster 0-60 with an all electric motor. So mark my words... In a couple years, they will have an All electric motor Raptor. I don't know if they will have a gas motor option initially at the same time? or if they will just switch over completely... But the Mach E is the start of that transition for the Mustang... and the Lightning will be that transition for the Raptor... I have a Mach E GT Performance Edition due in at the end of October. I am pretty excited to check it out. I am concerned about the change in thought though, as you need to prepare to charge batteries, etc... but the range is supposed to be about 230 miles.
TFL 🤣🤣 ... same guys that just had PaxPerformance 2021 conversion F150 into Raptor with 770HP (Whipple Supercharger Coyote 5.0L) and they couldn't get more then 5.16 seconds 0-60 out of it. Same truck in Hennessey hands does 4.1 seconds 0-60. These guys driving skills are a joke.
LOL, well it depends on if they put a quiet restrictive exhaust on it.. lol I have seen that happen over the years... But, the good news is, the V8 should also have an adjustable exhaust with open loud modes as well as quiet so you don't wake up your neighbors in the morning.. lol
@@jtrischlerit's a 21, I ordered it on June 6th and still waiting for it. If you get the most expensive rims then you get the blue seats I believe. I got the middle rims black seats.
@@JoshWalker. This is false, You could never order a 21 with 37s and black seats. You can only with a 22. You could order a 35 with the beadlocks and black seats, but not the 37 package.
Yeah, this one was a detailed feature review. I like to split the two up. I could go on and do a 2 hour review on most things. I have to stop myself in segment’s lol. Because no one will sit that long. So that’s why it’s a sitting still demonstration review.
There is only one downside to this Raptor..same old engine. The money you are spending the engine should be making around 550 hsp and 600 torque at least ..Ford saving money ..and when you get the Raptor R ..even way more $$$$. This Raptor looks good .....the engine is sorta a let down ..just saying
The RAM truck is so much better. Ford turned into the Walmart of vehicles; do everything you can to just sell billions of units, that’s their only goal. Ends up being plastic’y poop
Every single vehicle has plastic. Look at $90K TRX and whole front facia ... nothing but plastic. Look at TRX screen surround ... semi glossy black, cheese looking plastic like in $25K Chevy Cruz.
This is a feature review. We like to break things up in segments. I’ve done videos that have features and test drives in one. There are 2 issues. Either they are way too long (I think this one is already around 30 min?) or you try to cram too much into the same time and don’t show all the features. So for most broadcasters that try to really cover the detailed features and information, I think it’s good to break those two up. Especially since there are some people who only want to see the driving, and would only watch that video. The ones trying to figure out all the features and options to buy one would prefer one. Maxed out on those details like this, but they also may watch the other. We will continue to bring out many new videos.
A proper review is correct . I am about to spend $90,000 on a pick up truck so I have been hunting videos such as this. This is the most thorough video about the new 2021 raptor there is . Thanks for all this excellent content will definitely shop is your stuff.

No, unfortunately Ford made it the light blue only as of about 2018, but you can turn it on or off and adjust the brightness.

Blue Cruise yes but it needs to be activated.
It will not be activated blue Cruz is dead on the Raptors. If you have it, you should be receiving about an $800 a day. That’s what they gave me.
TFL already showed this 21 is slower than last years especially with the 37’s 😂 once the R comes out it will be worth the price 👍
Well, I can't speak as to how they compared it? Or if they had a preproduction model that maybe wasn't tuned the same or not. All I can say is, I have owned a 2017, the 2019 and put several miles on both, as well as driven and sold Hundreds and Hundreds of them when I ran that department at a dealership, including the 2010-2014's with the Roush Supercharged V8 package and the 17+. Of them, I can personally attest that the new gen feels a lot faster, and more responsive. Very visibly so. I can also say, that added performance and better shifting comes at a cost of about 1mpg.. but not a big deal. I would rather have the power. So the claim that it performs better is from PERSONALLY experience. I didn't dyno test them. I just drove them.
However, there is no question that a GT500 type supercharged V8 in a Raptor R will be much faster. The question is, who will be able to afford one? Let alone find one available. (Trust me, I would rather have the V8 all day long)
That truck will no doubt be awesome! But with this model coming out between $80,000 and $85,000 loaded up.... With many dealers charging $5k-10K over sticker... I would venture to guess the MSRP on the Raptor R to be no less than $100,000. Remember, the Shelby GT500 track (R) model was like $102k MSRP with the normal one around $80k. However, that GT500 Track model sold at dealers for an average of $25k-30k over MSRP.
You also have a great point with the 37's. Those tires will absolutely reduce high speed performance and fuel economy. Often people don't understand that just because it is an option you can check off, doesn't mean it is the best option for you, or even a step above.
The 37 model has a purpose. It is a more capable desert dweller and rock climber, etc. For most though, who want an awesome road queen, those 37's are larger, and heavier and require more power for the motor and axles to turn those wheels, and therefore eat up more fuel and rob some end use power and acceleration. Also, the taller the tire, the more flex. So hard cornering ability is reduced in a 37 over a 35. With anything, its give and take. You can put low profile tires on 20" wheels and it will out corner a 17" wheel with 35's... but it won't have a soft ride. The Raptor, with it's Fox suspension and tall tires ride better and smoother than any truck I have ever ridden in, but how much is enough and how much is too much? It all depends on how you want to use it and what the benefits vs the trade offs are. The 37" sits higher and has a different stance, but it's all in what your buying it for.
On a side note, since we are discussing motors, and the Raptor R and the GT500 R. I am sure you all saw the Lightning that is coming in 2022? That all electric engine makes major power. In fact, it's ironic that Ford brought out the GT500 in 2020 and claimed it made more power than any Mustang... Then this year, they came out with the Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition. It is supposed to be even faster 0-60 with an all electric motor. So mark my words... In a couple years, they will have an All electric motor Raptor. I don't know if they will have a gas motor option initially at the same time? or if they will just switch over completely... But the Mach E is the start of that transition for the Mustang... and the Lightning will be that transition for the Raptor...
I have a Mach E GT Performance Edition due in at the end of October. I am pretty excited to check it out. I am concerned about the change in thought though, as you need to prepare to charge batteries, etc... but the range is supposed to be about 230 miles.
the same guys who couldnt get a trx into the 12s lol.. they cant drive
TFL 🤣🤣 ... same guys that just had PaxPerformance 2021 conversion F150 into Raptor with 770HP (Whipple Supercharger Coyote 5.0L) and they couldn't get more then 5.16 seconds 0-60 out of it. Same truck in Hennessey hands does 4.1 seconds 0-60. These guys driving skills are a joke.
@@codename7832 definitely wouldn’t trust any of their times.
You dont need an exhaust setting with a V8.
Well said.....👍
LOL, well it depends on if they put a quiet restrictive exhaust on it.. lol I have seen that happen over the years... But, the good news is, the V8 should also have an adjustable exhaust with open loud modes as well as quiet so you don't wake up your neighbors in the morning.. lol
How tall is the 37?
I ordered a 37 and got black seats. It can be done.
Was it a 22? I think that’s the difference.
@@jtrischlerit's a 21, I ordered it on June 6th and still waiting for it. If you get the most expensive rims then you get the blue seats I believe. I got the middle rims black seats.
Great vid by the way!
@@JoshWalker. This is false, You could never order a 21 with 37s and black seats. You can only with a 22. You could order a 35 with the beadlocks and black seats, but not the 37 package.
@@ihoffland hmm ok I'll look into it again
i noticed , most raptor owners are short stature
Lol, ok? That could be the case? I don’t know why it would be? I think people in general enjoy them.
Cool
Thanks for watching!
Detailed review without 0-60
Yeah, this one was a detailed feature review. I like to split the two up. I could go on and do a 2 hour review on most things. I have to stop myself in segment’s lol. Because no one will sit that long. So that’s why it’s a sitting still demonstration review.
HONESTLY ... (( FORD IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD ... ))
There is only one downside to this Raptor..same old engine. The money you are spending the engine should be making around 550 hsp and 600 torque at least ..Ford saving money ..and when you get the Raptor R ..even way more $$$$. This Raptor looks good .....the engine is sorta a let down ..just saying
Dude your all talk
The RAM truck is so much better. Ford turned into the Walmart of vehicles; do everything you can to just sell billions of units, that’s their only goal. Ends up being plastic’y poop
Every single vehicle has plastic. Look at $90K TRX and whole front facia ... nothing but plastic. Look at TRX screen surround ... semi glossy black, cheese looking plastic like in $25K Chevy Cruz.
Two things 1st Dodge had better start making something right. 2nd the TrX gas mileage is poop
This is not a review of the truck you did not even drive it. This is a demo of the features not a review.
This is a feature review. We like to break things up in segments. I’ve done videos that have features and test drives in one. There are 2 issues. Either they are way too long (I think this one is already around 30 min?) or you try to cram too much into the same time and don’t show all the features. So for most broadcasters that try to really cover the detailed features and information, I think it’s good to break those two up. Especially since there are some people who only want to see the driving, and would only watch that video. The ones trying to figure out all the features and options to buy one would prefer one. Maxed out on those details like this, but they also may watch the other. We will continue to bring out many new videos.
don't like anything too bright color. draws too much attention.
