A way of those lacking confidence to try to transfer an idea as fact that they themselves feel doubt over. Alternatives? 1) just bold-face lie 2) sell on the merits, and discuss the negatives if they come up at face value. People also do that when they’re just plain arrogant or have a superiority complex. I’ve never met the guy so I can’t say one way or t’other but if you just stick to the merits you can get through with your integrity intact.

I don't have a Raptor or Raptor R, but I'm getting over 20 mpg combined in my 5.0 tremor with 3:73 gears (if I recall correctly), so mileage is obviously getting better all the time. I haven't supercharged the tremor (yet), but I'm contemplating it. I bought the v-8 specifically because I thought I might supercharge it but having the 20 mpg in a full-size truck with 400 hp is giving me a little pause. Peace, Love!!

@michaelparsons541 Жыл бұрын

That’s the truck I want, but just can’t swing $75K right now, much less the $111K for the Raptor R. But I would like to go back to a v-8 before they stop making them. I guess that’ll be after I have some fun with my Bronco. 20-mpg on a v-8 Tremor…that’s incredible…my 3.5 boost never did that for me.

@kylesummers1565 Жыл бұрын

@@michaelparsons541 I was absolutely shocked at the mpg. I checked the first couple tanks and I'm checking the current one. I'm a little over 3K miles and I've never owned a vehicle that got better than advertised mileage. Hell, I don't know if I've ever owned a vehicle that got advertised mileage. I wonder if Ford is pushing the eco-boost because they have so much invested in it. The eco is a very powerful engine. This was a special-order truck, but it only took a month for me to get it. I really only bought the truck because my company needed work trucks and my personal truck had been super reliable and a great off roader, so I sold it to them (us/me) to save $20K over buying a new truck. Peace, Love!!

Ive always daily driven modified 4x4s and the ones i built when i was younger rode terribly on road ill admit that but my favorite thing about daily driving our jeeps nowadays is how soft and comfortable the ride is going over bumps and curbs and pot holes speed bumps all of it is really just a fun ride. Our jeeps are pretty extreme compared to the raptor since so much is custom built and aftermarket but i can totally understand the appeal to someone who isn't into off-road 4x4 stuff wanting to daily drive one of these. Our jeeps arent built for racing like the raptor is more geared towards desert racing trophy truck type stuff but i do understand the soft ride and handling of a quality suspension it really is nice to bomb down a dirt road with a super smooth ride or drive around town floating over crap roads and things. One thing thats amazing is the stability and capability of these trucks right off the showroom floor, i am not a ford person at all whatsoever but these raptor trucks are a lot of fun. I think its so cool that company's are building vehicles to be this capable and powerful. I dont think we are going to have these sorts of vehicles available new for a whole lot longer i hope im wrong but it feels like some of these awesome vehicles are coming to an end with the push for electric and little putt putt cars. Modern gas engine technology is just so cool too pushing that much horsepower reliably in a stock vehicle with a warranty although id argue some arent as reliable as others its still really good.

@Extra_Ordinary_Gary Жыл бұрын

I got a Ranger Tremor because it's all that was available when I washed a base model. Anyways, their point about the bad roads is so valid. I'm in Alaska, our roads are horrendous. The off-road suspension and tires really help driving dynamics if you live somewhere with questionable road surfaces.

We decided to lose the leaf springs on the Raptor, not for stability, but because the TRX didnt have leaf springs and they needed to step up their game. I had the Gen 2 Raptor the Leaf springs sucked on the lighter Raptor. Coils are so much better and I love my TRX. I think the Raptor R is an awesome truck, but not for 110k base price. I had a hard time justifying the 82k price tag on my 97k MSRP TRX.....

@apexresidences6815 Жыл бұрын

Love the look of that Raptor. And a very informative video, much more so than so many videos I see out there. This is I think the best I've ever seen actually. Thumbs up. I have 2 questions at the end, but first some comments: The raptor "R" is really more than I need, but I want one, darn it. 🙂 May end up getting the regular, latest gen Raptor, instead of the more powerful "R", but we'll see. It's funny, but the primary reason I'm only considering a Ford F150 and not some other brand, is that optional fold out flat work surface between the front row seats; I would use that so much, taking my laptop with me and along with a mobile hotspot making my home office mobile; sometimes it's the little things, and no one else offers that. There are other reasons I like the Ford F150 too, of course. I should probably just customize/raptorize an F150 Platinum at my age, those massaging, more luxury seats would be nice, but that Raptor, wow! Two things I do wonder about: How does the Raptor do in very cold, snowy, wintery weather and at high altitudes in ski country? And though those Raptor seats are really nice, is there any way I could get the loaded, blacked out, all leather, max luxury, massaging, reclining seats of the Platinum in the Raptor? If I could, then my only remaining decisions would be "R" or not "R" version, and the 35 or 37 tires. I generally would get all black, and dull out those bright stickers, but that grey is nice, so that decision too, but I'd be happy with either of those colors.

Dealer “market adjustments” on this truck are insane. Now Ford is making available a dealer installed supercharger for 5.0L F150’s with a 3 yr warranty. Horsepower will be 650+. Knowing how California dealers work, that supercharged F150 will likely get market adjustments that could drive the msrp closer to the RaptorR. Fast trucks, but expensive.

My '05 F150 had that keypad entry when I bought the truck. I thought it would be a useless feature, and turned out to be the most useful feature I ever experienced.

Nothing rides better than a raptor.

I agree. My buddy had an f450 and a raptor, he refused to drive the raptor and he kept having heart attacks. I kept saying it's because the f450 rides harder than a dump truck. The raptor is definitely America's Cadillac these days

Now that you say it, manufacturers don't try for ride comfort anymore. It's all about styling and who can piss harder. Even the rolls royces don't focus on ride comfort, probably because rolling on 15" wheels isn't acceptable anymore

It's a high truck on tall sidewall tires, it's never going to ride like anything but a big vehicle. That's why all modern cars have rubber band tires, people want the quicker steering response vs a mid 90's buick or Ford Taurus with tall sidewall tires. You throw rubber band tires on there and it suddenly "feels like it's on rails", at the expense of ride quality, you feel every bump.

I don't appreciate new stuff that I can go to a dealer and see, but I appreciate it's part of the car culture. What I'd really like to see is Guy Martin and Jay Leno talk bikes. If Guy had a ride in Jay's Merlin powered car, he'd be over the moon.
