Considering there are a bunch out there by now, that's high praise- Thanks Mario! -Justin

Haha- Nic Cage! You know that's exactly what I was thinking when I said that! lololol -Justin

Sure in a lowered reg cab (Ranger) this drive train might be cool, but not in a RAPTOR. The name alone conjures up visions of power and fear. But it's roar is a "meow:...LOL...LOL

:Morpheus Meme: What if I told you a truck can be Powerful and Badass without a V8? -Justin

Then get one while the kid across the street boost's his 5.0 and makes 700 hp off only 10 psi lmao

SaadMG just a quick question, how has the reliability been in your truck so far? Any issues

SaadMG any problems?

You seriously made my day Kyle- thanks man. -Justin

Do I get some merch thrown my way. that would make my day lol.

Exactly! "once you get past the sound". Why buy an "off road monster called a RAPTOR" that you "have to get over the sound"??? Imagine a Raptor (the animal) that sounded like a "meow". You would look at it in fear, then laugh when it "roared"....LOL...LOL

Because 'Sound' does make this thing good or bad off road (Its great btw) 'Sound' doesn't make this thing blow the doors off the 6.2 (which it does, handily)- 'Sound' DOESN'T DEFINE PERFORMANCE. Robert, we get it man- you're 8 comments on this video hating the sound makes that perfectly clear. But c'mon... lets sprinkle a little logic in there with your opinion- there's more than just sound here. -Justin

Ya your right, it's a great truck!

Also, my 1993 Ford Ranger XL 2wd 4c in Brilliant Blue Metallic has only 98k miles on it if anyone is interested!

A lot of people feel that way! Sounds like it's not a deal break for you +Tank Buster. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us and for watching :) -Elaina

SAME HERE!!!!

Congrats Mark! I've been in mine for the last 6 months or so and absolutely love it. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of the Raptor Assault class Ford includes with the price of the truck - you won't regret it! -Justin

Haha, thanks Maki! -Justin

Maki dd

Glad to hear some honest feedback from a guy who's owned both. Thanks for taking the time to comment! -Justin

So yes the V6 did ruin the raptor!!

Its all good Robert- you know we appreciate your continued support of the channel along with your enthusiasm in the comment section. Just try pacing yourself next time ;) -Justin

I don't know about the exhaust but you definitely win comment of the day. Thanks dude lol.. -Justin

We'd love to get our hands on one of those! Let's see what we can do :) - Will

That's awesome JJ, thanks man. Much appreciated! -Justin

Just outside of Philadelphia and thanks for the kind words Zep! -Justin

I thought the terrain looked familiar, I'm only an hour and 1/2 away from Philly.

Yeah umm no boat achors

How about a single turbo? A much bigger engine doesn't need all that boost. But frankly, a non-turbo will last a lot longer. How much power do you think you need?

Glad that you liked the video Robert :) Thanks for watching and for the kind words! -Elaina

I hear ya Mc Stan- and sign me the hell up for a new Lightening. Until then, the Roush 'Nightmare' is about as close as you're going to get. -Justin

Mc Stan Well just look at aftermarket parts sale, whats the number one selling truck accessorie, lift kits. The manufacturers see that so they try to capture that market right from the showroom floor. I personally agree with you, i would love to see sport truck come back to market, and with the t56 6 speed behind a 5.0l.

That would be more logical for most people since there trucks never leave the street including mine ( hey I"am just being honest lol)

Because maybe a truck suits someones life better than a car and they still would like to have something fast and fun, cars don't have beds or tow hitches. Also while driving I am on the street more often than off road. We don't need 700hp cars and we still have the option to buy them. At the end of the day trucks are meant for working out of and hauling things not off roading or racing but it's what the consumer wants so they make it.

Mc Stan then make it a street truck yourself

Thanks! -Justin

I'm sorry but that is incorrect. Go to Fords site, click on the 'build and price' your Raptor, check out the exterior options and you'll see two sets of wheels. The standard CAST aluminum wheels that are on this truck, and the forged aluminum bead lock capable wheels- as stated in the video. I just double checked because you had me worried but it confirmed what I said. Thanks for the compliment though Scott! -Justin

You're right, when we were going over the options I remember seeing forged wheels I thought ford both beadlocks and the stock ones which seemed odd to off forged wheels as standard. My bad, AM needs to purchase one and see what y'all can do with it.

Do it the 6.2 isnt as cool weaker frame worse suspension

Nay needs a V8

im a believer after racing a ecoboost with my 5.0!! ill take power and speed over sound any day!!

Why not take power, speed, sound, smoothness, and reliability with a V8? GM's LT4 in the Z06 and Zl1 is pushing out 650 hp and torque. Just saying a V8 is better in everyway over a V6 except for gas mileage, and if you're buying a $70,000 truck, I don' t think gas mileage will be such a big issue :) Speaking of gas mileage, the ecoboost engines get horrendous MPG's when tuned for performance. 15/18 for the raptor and 11/18 for the Ford GT, both worse or almost as bad as their V8 predecessors. I think Ford took a wrong turn in pushing so hard for Ecoboost engines by putting them in the GT, Raptor, and Mustang (Unless they come out with an 3.5 Ecoboost for the Mustang). They should only belong in the ST/RS family, Fusion, and their other non-performance cars.

Nay

Nay!

You can do more than exhaust with $10,000! I completely agree with you there. - Will

Maciej Hajbert nope here its ford only

Love the raptor but I would buy a power wagon over the raptor any day.

Yeah dude and it has more travel

Anyone who wants an engine that will last, that's who cares.

No hate! If you do it the right way with a solid suspension setup, Raptor fenders/widebody kit, and a nice front end conversion, it will look pretty damn mean! Best of luck! -Zach

No supercharged and no v8 v6 is life more power available

No it wouldn’t because with the gas prices and I do care about the earth, so v6 EcoBoost is the way to go.

@@invasion1824 The V6 gets much poorer fuel mileage than the 5.0.

scarhart53 that’s impossible!

Since this is a base model truck, it isn't equipped with the 'BLIS' system (Blind spot warning) and this can alter the look of the Tail Lights. -Justin

AmericanMuscle.com oh thanks!

If we did, I guess that would mean I would need to get a personal RS, for 'testing purposes'.... I APPROVE! ;) In all seriousness I don't know if we have any immediate plans to support the RS any time soon, but I've been wrong before so you never know! Thanks again for watching and for the kind words! -Justin

Couldn't agree more! -Justin

BS

I hear ya- and at first I was like 'Yes- Paddle Shifters!!!!'. And then proceeded to use them for 5 minutes before switching back to 'Full Auto' lol. Its honestly a little much with the 10 speed. -Justin

AmericanMuscle.com yeah, I have the manual shift mode on my 13' FX4, and have only used it maybe twice. The feature is nice on a Auto Mustang but not the greatest on a truck, in my opinion.
