I saw a new 17 raptor in person for the first time today. I am a die-hard RAM and Chevy guy but... Im telling you that the videos and pictures don't do it justice. I am going to buy a Raptor lol

There is nothing about this truck I dislike, I just miss the V8 rumble.

Ya know I love the sound of the V8 just as much as the next guy, but that new 3.5 Ecoboost sounds good, real good! Augmented sound or not Ford did an amazing job and if anything it just needs to be louder. If I owned one the Flowmaster Outlaws would be my 1st mod! 😁

Who cares how many cylinders, when you have 450 hp and 525 tq.

I just bought a 2017 Supercrew Raptor, picked it up last Saturday. I LOVE this truck, and even more surprisingly my wife loves this truck. This is possibly as fun as my 2015 F80 M3 albeit in a different way. It is comfortable, well built, quiet and just overall the best truck I've ever been in. I love, love, love this truck and I don't know if anyone could have done a better job building a fun, exciting truck. I love this truck.

People loosing their minds over this sound issue, a dog may be able to growl loud but how hard can it bite ? In other words sound ain't everything

Thanks for this vid. I honestly didn't even want to touch the new raptor cause I'm an old school V8 guy but I can't help but admit I'm impressed and my mind has certainly been swayed. Great job.

corvette doesn't have fake sound, it has an exhaust with valves that open and close though! Glad ford guys know their stuff

That speaker system is really cranking out that oh so sweet synthetic V6 turbo charge sound.

those new raptors are sweet. too bad i cant afford it lol

magnesium dude!😁TFL guys are physicians of trucks😁

This Turbo charged engine is powerful and light, which is perfect for off-road, if you want the V8 u can get it in the F150 or F250

Phenomenal vid. Well done Andre! Love the "look in" window overlay sync'd with the hood cam. Love it! Sweet driving too!

I really like the guy giving us the info on the truck. He did great explaining while keeping you on route

I like how this engineer doubles as a navigator as week he did a good job

that was awesome. I know that had to make your day. You have been waiting for this.

This really helps me understand the use of the word "heartthrob". Cause when I see this truck, my heart jumps with longing...

Does a day in Borrego Springs come included with a Raptor purchase? Looks like fun! Not far from my hometown. 3 requests Roman : (1) Once you've completed your test drives and uploaded you drive videos, can we get a 7 min review, overall impressions, strengths/weaknesses, etc, not a recap of Raptor specs, just your thoughts on the truck (2) video of as many different color Raptors, I'm interested in seeing how they all look so perhaps a quick walk through the parking lot staging area? (3) Will this be a limited production vehicle or not? The 1st gen was some dealers are claiming the 2017's will be limited to current allocation, others claim this is an initial allocation with full production to meet demand forthcoming. Thank you TFL!

love the way the truck looks

I like the way this video was made, its raw but well made.

hopefully will pick one up by the end of the cycle. I love your channel fellas, keep it up.

Looks like they are running Summit Road off of Red Cloud Mine exit on I-10, east of Joshua Tree National Park. That set of train tracks goes to Eagle Mountain.

That engineer like man he’s driving i need full face 😆 j/k

To all you complainers ford put the twin v6 in it because it's hell of a lot lighter than the v8 is and the raptor is about getting up their fast and speed and the twin v6 will do it

He says "all the top of the line sports cars have engine sound enhancement" But that doesn't excuse the fact that its distracting in those cars as well, most people get that feature disabled even.

Great to see what the Raptor is capable of and sounds awesome, just need to find a sandy desert near Calgary. PS doubt if I would drive it hard off road especially after spending over $90K CND.

70k is fair bit of jingle to hardcore off Rd in. I know they start at 50 but I've never seen a raptor not fully loaded

Thought I was going to purchase a new WRX next summer, but may have to save for another year and purchase one of these. Normally use older trucks for yard work and off-road adventures.

Nothing like a Raptor, so glad I got a 19

Love the ending.

Was the ride as smooth as it looks? Watching Roman in the driver's seat, it looked like he had a smoother ride off road in the Raptor than you get in some sports cars on pavement!

Shoulda had borla tune the exhaust note and get more base to it

wow is it me or did this driving look hard af... good job roman

That must have been great fun!

adding the paddle shifters was awesome but they had to improve the shift time to less than 2 seconds

Atleast make the 5.2V8 VooDoo optional. but personally I would like the price to go down a bit by offering the 3.7 V6, the bench seat for a 6 person layout, column shift, wash out vinyl floor, still keep the 10 speed and everything else for people to option out the way they want it.

Roman did a good job baggin' the shit out of the truck (as much as he could). I am impressed which is not easily done. I thought he was going to sand bag it. Well done Roman.

Looks really fun. edit: I wish it sounded like that ram, that has the hellcat engine. That exhaust sounded great.

Nice! needs a more overview (sound) of the anti lag when they send you a press truck. just tooling around varying the throttle

I've gotten our 2010 RR sport supercharged up to 90 on a loose gravel road until it started sliding.

That windshield camera being tilted is so amateur guys. otherwise, good driving Roman and nice job Ford. Should have twin turbo'd the V8 though.

Awesome video.. Thanks TFL!!!

damn that looks fun.

where was this test done? looks like some nice place id like to visit. great review!

I will also admit. The V6 looks fast. Faster than the V8. Sound still lame though.

TFL I think you guys should put the new raptor and the rally fighter from local motors against each other in a head 2 head episode. Please

@TFL -- Just to confirm - it's a front limited slip (Torsen) and rear open/locker? Were you driving this course with the rear diff. Open or locked?

wow! Definitely thrilling! great job guys

Incredible. When will TFL enter Baja?!?!?

I like that new Raptor but can only imagine how difficult most trail repairs would be and the cost of replacement parts...

I love my 2017 Raptor but can't wait for the 7.0 liter that comes out late 2019

Man, that looks like so much fun!! Envy you guys... :)

I can't believe that Ford flys this guy to test this truck and he whines about some piped in engine sounds. Really? I'll say it again, next time send Andre the Russian mechanic, he knows what's important.

"Having a good time.." Bang! "ooohhhh" hahaha great video

From what I have read the KO2s are trash in the wet and rain and hydroplane a lot. Any comments on that TFL?

Awesome job guys and ford wow can't wait till I get one hey what does ford do with these test trucks I'll volunteer long term drive when I get back from deployment next year lol

magnisium DUDE!

Dang! That was pretty intense.

So it's okay for a GTR to have a V6 but not a Raptor? Make some sense people

Wow! Great video!

did they strengthen the front IWEs or is the torsen going to still rip them to pieces with the throttle

Take my money

Wasn't the old Raptor advertised as 100 mph off road? What is the max speed for this one? And what is the jump speed?

The Raptor is a desert runner. This is how to compare the Raptor and TRX. The TRX wins the drag race. That aside I wager that both trucks are the equal of each and it comes down to personal preference. I do like that the Ford has plenty of power and is lighter weight.

Great vid...awesome‼

do you still need to put it on neutral to change it to 4x4?

i wobder with 20% more suspension travel will it fair better at a 90 ft jump than last generation...

The 6.2L has anti lag built in too and sounds better!

Where was this recorded?

That was awesome!

and he flips it end over end.....wow!

Yes it may sound like sh**. But that ecoboost is an amazing engine with tons of power.

i just went to Baja, for the Baja 1000 off road race and i have a raptor/expedition conversion in video send me your email so i can share it...great fan of your channel!!

That V6 doesn't sound as bad as I thought it might.

I learned my lesson about buying brand new production vehicles. I can't wait for them to have every wrong thing possible fixed before I'd buy it. I may wait for another year.

2H, 4A, 4H, or 4L?

What happens when it breaks?

whats the ground clearness ???

Notice the lack of a sunroof. Ford doesn’t want that headache in their test trucks!

I love Ford raptor

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TECH FAILS ON THE TRAIL?

What is an augmented engine?

Ford hates your comments about the lack of a V8. I love them. Ford could have developed a good V8. V6 engines sound horrible so lets give the customer a fake sound. Nonsense.

Not sure why Roman decided he wanted to honk the horn... lol

there is good reason to test the breaks ... so we know how good they are not

there is no corvette that uses fake engine sound

*It sounds like a Military Vehicle, and with just an ECU tune expect +100hp & +100tq*

Great video. Side note:Engine sounds horrible.

Even though the sound is augmented, it sounds good but not for a badass pickup truck, it just doesn't match the look of the raptor

does it have a winter mode or can u use baja mode for winter driving

I hate how Baja mode feels in my new 18 raptor. I think somethings wrong with it.

traction control (Delete)

I would love to take my rzr 1000 turbo out there

Fun!

Glad the raptor is a selling success despite all the-hom-os saying it’s not a v8, giving each other hand jobs about sound

Is it normal for the Bed to much that much?

Salesman was shitting himself LMFAO

Would to see the trx side by side the raptor- not a race but just compare ride, build quality…

Cool vid good job looked fun as fuck....

reminding everyone this is a stock truck.
