I have zero practical reasons for owning an Raptor. I want one so bad.

Most typical truck drivers know that when switching from 4H to 4L you must first place the transmission in neutral.. this makes it shift way easier than driving 5 miles and causing it to clunk 🤣🤣 shows how much you know about your new Raptor

I'm shocked by the resale value... wow. when the raptor came out I said to myself that's a sick truck, maybe I'll pick one up used some day... looks like probably not anytime soon, haha.

Wow has it been 3 years already?!? I still remember the video of you signing the papers and getting it from the dealer!

That trade-in value is insane. Damn good investment.

I love my raptor too. Same color just painted the wheels matte black. The whipple and livernois cams I had install really wake the raptor up. By far my favorite truck I ever had.

I have a 2011 F150 Raptor with 80K. Here are my known issues. @ 15,000 mi - Rear sliding door went out. Fixed under warranty @ 60,000 mi - The notorious clunking noise! Fixed under warranty @ 72,000 mi - Backup Camara works when it feels like it. Fixed under warranty Nothing major really. Love my truck. Can't wait until the 2020 Raptor with V8 Ecoboost.

I recently got a 2010 SVT with the 6.2 l V8 engine. It has the locking gas cap as well as the flap. I like the added security feature of not having to worry about anybody stealing my gas while I'm out in BFE, and the gas station is miles away. I am also doing the 5 year purchase on mine. My base price was 28,995.00, and with all fees and interest it will be about 40,000.00. But it's my dream truck, so I am extremely happy with it. Mine also originally came from Colorado as well.

Great video. I've got a 2011 with 145,000 miles on it now with minimal issues. No major engine or driveline issues. Never had the gas issue or locking into 4L either, so I think those may be isolated. I've had the check engine light come on once and said to check the fuel inlet. The service guy told me to blow air in the area which worked, so there was no service needed. Other than that, it has been a sound truck, but I'm selling now that I have an '18 on order and arriving soon. Hard to put a price on it, but NADA showed it was worth $31,800. Can't complain about that after 6 years and so many miles!

My 10 years old Lexus LX 470 now has 96k miles. Nothing but oil and other fluid changes, brakes, filter change. With all the issues roman listed and the raptor is so new. It's really unrealiable by my standard.

I am on a 2010 Ford raptor I have done no repairs on the routine maintenance spark plugs oil changes and shocks my truck has 252,000 miles on it and still starts and runs like brand new every day

that awkward moment when you try to show that something isn't working and it works perfectly fine with a camera on hand. LOL!

definitely looking forward to a head to head of old vs new raptor

I've got a 2013 Raptor. Love it. My power steering pump quit at 26K mi. Covered under warranty. These trucks will not depreciate much as Roman mentioned.

Great video and info: I have a 2012 f150 xlt 5.0 126k miles and have had minimal issues , a steering sensor and transmission leak at bulkhead connector, both around 60k fixed under extended warranty (never buy extended warranties if you keep an emergency fund, these repairs still didn't cover cost of warranty) work truck with 500lbs of tools in bed at all times

I have a 2010 F150 Lariat with the 5.4. 144k miles, 6 inch lift with 35s. I take anywhere. Hasn't gotten me stuck. Engine drives smooth. Gonna have the exhaust manifolds swapped for long tubes. I love it! My first truck I bought with my own money and it has been very good to me!

a modern car at 44k miles should have zero problems

I have a 2013 raptor that just hit 61k. I beat on this thing every single day. I’m always flooring it, merging onto the freeway quick, take it to the desert at least once a month and romp around. It’s my daily driver and carpool for the kids. Only issues so far is the cheap 4wd vacuum lines. Mine were dry and brittle and when I changed the shocks I ended up cracking a line. To fix the 1 crack you have to buy the whole vacuum line assembly. Surprisingly cheap at like $50 bucks at the dealership. Took a couple hours to put in. Those lines need to be routed from the hub, across the front of the vehicle to the other side hub, and then up and across the engine bay. It’s a known problem with those lines breaking. I do all my own maintenance, but I do have a 100k unlimited warranty which I’ve never had to use. Been dependable to me. I’m tempted to get a gen 2, but I like the v8 and how I have mine set up.

freaking love those Raptors. wish I could afford one

I have a 2011 with nearly 80,000 miles no issues except for general maintenance. very happy with the reliability and the resale value is great.

Wow better residual value retained than a Taco. Very impressive.

I bought a 1029 Raptor 6 months ago and it's bluebook is more than I paid for it. VERY good resale value, no issues so far. Good to hear the older one's are holding up well!

I really love the Raptor and that Blue color may make it more valuable since they discontinued that color for 2017. While I don't have a Raptor, I do have a 2013 with a 5.0L and it has been an awesome truck. I haven't had any of the issues Roman has stated. My steering wheel is stationary so that won't break but my brake controller has functioned just fine. The fuel filler has never malfunctioned and my factory brakes lasted me almost 80,000. My front brakes were ready to be changed but the rear still had half life when I opted to just replace everything. The only thing I have had to fix in 96,000 miles is the steering shaft. The shaft had a little play and made a clunking sound. Once I removed the shaft, I could see a little wear in the universal joints. Overall the truck still feels and drives like it did when I bought it. I am very happy with it and I wouldn't think twice about buying a new one. I will however buy the 5.0L version again. I managed a service station for 7 years and F150's did not normally need anything but routine maintenance. I think all the new technologies infused in these trucks makes them more susceptible to a service issue that has nothing to do with reliability. Infotainment centers in today's trucks have gotten out of hand.

44K miles in 3yrs boy you guys baby the shit out of this monster

the Ford Raptor has a 5 year/60k mile drivetrain warranty. 4x4 should be covered under that.

My daughters fuel filler had the same issue. Turned out, the nozzle at one of the pumps must have been a little different size because she moved to a different pump and it works fine. She just avoids that pump and has had no issues with the gas cap mechanism.

great new camera. the video is so smooth

I have 2012 big horn. It's had 1 issue it's entire life. At 140k miles the water pump went out. The truck is now at 156k miles. No other issues at all. I kinda want one of these raptors tho

i have a 14 year's old Toyota Land cruise that had none of these issues. great video as always.

My 13’ has 2xs that mileage and I still consider it sorta low miles compared to a lot of raptor owners on the forums who beat on theirs as well. I beat on it every other weekend in the desert, and also tow a Polaris RZR, only issues have been the crap IWE 4wd system, but that affects all f-150 models and is a poor system. I removed it myself with some aftermarket kits that came out. At 60k’ish my sunroof broke (fixed under warranty) Other then that and normal maintenance and replacing worn stuff like brakes and tires it’s been flawless

my 2013 F150 Raptor has 113,000 miles. 14.1 MPG over 113,000 miles. Zero issues. Zero. Also my original tires lasted over 100,000 miles. Go Ford. . Go Raptor!

At 3:33 "Over here is an oil stain from that old BSA Lightning Bolt motorcycle we bought..." Wow, that's the same model Hunter S. Thompson rode in his days riding and researching his classic 1966 book "Hells Angels." A great read!

I still see used 2010 raptor for 50k, WTF man, when am I going have my turn, you rich people lol

I have owned a Toyota Prius for 6 years and 61,000 miles. I have had ZERO issues with it. Absolutely none. I haven’t even had to have the brakes done. It only cost $24,000 out the door.

The truck has a 6 year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The Trans and transfer case all are under warranty

So crazy. 53k brand new back then. Now the 2023 is going for 100k for the v6 and the v8 is going for over 200k. Just how everything is now. 53k is a lot but compared to the pricing now makes this sound cheap at 53k.

Wow looking back I cant believe a raptor cost 53k. Thaf is crazy

Only thing that’s gone bad on my 13 Raptor is the steering pump.

I have an issue with your #2 issue. You are not suppose to drive it while it's trying to shift between 4 low and 4 high. Not to mention, driving it for 5 miles while it's trying to shift probably did some damage. Next time, try backing up a little ways to get it to disengage. That being said, it should still be covered under the 5 yr/60k power train warranty.

My 2014 just hit 44k!

Ford and dealers realized what a cash cow this truck is. We will never see another raptor under 70k

Thank you for the honest video!

From your video, it looks like that cloth you mentioned is so the strap doesn't fray when you roll the top and buckle the strap. But that's just a guess.

phil tripe you are absolutely right i had an 89 4x4 the manual said to back it up approx 9feet than go foward my 05 fx4 pulling a trailer out of a yard did the same thing i backed it up and it came out of 4 wheel low

The cloth on the Roll-X underside keeps your fingers from being pinched in the slat joints while rolling. I removed mine after it all started falling off. The next time I rolled it I discovered its purpose the hard way. This is something they definitely need to cure with a more heat resistant adhesives. Other than that I really like mine.

I'm used to Toyotas and Lexuses that you drive for 10 years and absolutelly nothing goes wrong. 40k miles is still a brand new car to me.

I had a set of BFG All terrains on a GMC Sierra. Replaced them with 92k miles on them with another set before winter. Sold them to someone else for $25 a piece since they still had enough legal tread. I had pretty good luck with them, maybe it was the difference in vehicle? My truck was also in alignment, and I have heard of some trucks wearing through tires in the first 30k miles.

Good long term review-video! in regards to the roll-on tonneau cover, Truxedo is of a much higher quality than the one mention in the video, with good quality locking mechanism! Have Truxedo on my 2015 Hillux Arctic Truck 37 inch.

So, Smittybilt is Shittybilt. Thanks for the warning. Cheers!

The gas filler was because stations sometimes put on smaller nozzles as an emergency. Filling thru the plastic nozzle under theback seat will get you to the next fillup.

7 years and 50k miles theres a raptor for sale for 45k Id say that truck really holds its value!

Roman the clunk you heard was in the transfer case, not the transmission. And it should be covered in the 5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty.

Very lucky to VHS such little issues with your truck . I had a early 2010 with a 5.3L with a supercharger and what a money pit !!! Glad you guys are enjoying your raptor thanks for the videos !

90k on my Gen1 and loving it

I think I’m gonna buy one!

So the truck is extremely unreliable (apparently to these internet mechanics) because a electronic steering wheel and trailer brake controller quit working? Btw you have to be stopped in neutral and put the truck in 4 high out of 4 low, then pull forward then put it in reverse and turn the steering wheel. It'll disengage.

I'm actually waiting on your direct comparison to determine whether I will be purchasing a 2014 Raptor super crew in white, with only 30k mileage for around $40k. or if I will just bite the $20,000 bullet and get a new one for around $62,000...

my dad has a 2014 f150 fx4 and the thing has had no problems at all

I thought it was going to have higher mileage. I've been contemplating on getting a used one with 100k miles, do you guys think that's too high?

Tires and brakes are wear items, the winch and tonneau cover are aftermarket accessories NOT "problems".. so you've had nothing that has made it un-driveable.. the 4wd issue is probably because the chain got all twisted tight and took a bit to loosen enough so it could release. It happens.. not just on Ford's. I had a 90 Nissan that did the same thing occasionally, but kept working.. the body and frame rusted out totally at around 280k miles but I NEVER had the driveline apart except for a clutch at 138k. Good luck.

check your power train warranty, it is typically 60k miles or more. I had my trans fixed under warranty at 57k.

i had a 14 raptor spcl edition. all the goodies. sticker was $59,000 . drove it 16 months. dealer offered to buy it back at $56,000 . SOLD not a bad return

Your shocks haven't wore out yet? Especially considering how much you truly use the truck I would be surprised if they didn't need to be replaced or rebuilt.

roman, youre the right man for this video!!

The Powertrain Warranty should be 100,000 Mils and That includes The Transfer Case. These trucks Come with a 36,000 Mile Warranty for the Other parts of the Truck that is not Powertrain(Engine,Transmission,Transfer Case) are all cover by 100,000 Mile

At 44k miles too many damn issues. Why do Ford guys just accept this as normal? My tundra at 180k miles and 11 years old nothing but oil changes and 1 brake pad change and a water pump replacement. Damn my 96 forerunner at 360k has all original parts except the rack n pinion replaced. My 08 256 forerunner zero problems other than normal maintenance

ypu are out of your 3year 36k warrenty but you should still have a 6 year 60k powertrain warrenty on the truck wich should cover the transfer case issue

The F150's come with a standard 5yr/60000 mile powertrain warranty so the 4x4 system should still be covered.

Why is anything broken? Only 40k miles?! My 1996 4Runner didn't break anything until 216k miles.

How is three years a long term update?

This is so confusing. The internet told me that Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. Are you telling us that you didn't have to buy a house next door to a mechanic? Inconceivable!

That does sound like a lot to go wrong with a vehicle in the time that you guys have had it. My old Chevy with 170,000 miles has had about the same amount of problems.

There is no way it only depreciated 3 grand.

I'm kind of jealous. When I had a 2005 F150 (Xlt, I think), the cheapest tires I could find were about $200/tire.

Somehow I find the truck's retracting seat and steering column function so obese americans can get in and out offensive.

Fuel filler thing was probably just some dust in the mechanism that worked itself out. Of course, now it's probably in your fuel pump sock.

Great review and your honesty on the flaws of this truck are appreciated. However, the KBB price for this truck is WAY overpriced. Why would someone pay this used price when they can spend $5-6k more for a new one - especially when these trucks are already as expensive as they are?

$250 apiece for truck tires isn't that bad actually. I really want to get one of these trucks.

i’m considering buying a 2014 ford raptor with 124,000 miles on it. is that good?

In my opinion, 44k miles is not long term. According to Time magazine, the average American keeps their car at least 200,000 miles, with the average car being 11 years old. Still good to know about the Raptor though! It is an incredibly capable truck!

i just gotta say you nailed it

So most of it was after market so thats good. The transfer case issue doesnt sound too good though

That’s not a longtime review my 2011 Ford Raptor has 463,898km USED EVERDAY IN OILFIED OF NORTHERN ALBERTA CANADA STILL GOING INCREDIBLE! Will post vid on my channel SNOWYOWL DRONES.

Hey TFLT, you can still go online and purchase a factory extended warranty from Ziegleresp.

Cloth is so you don't burn your hands when rolling up the cover on hot days, perhaps.

Powertrain Warranty is good for 60k. bumper 2 bumper is 36k, Read that window sticker.

The spray in bedliner shouldve been standard in the raptor. My 2012 has a painted bed and I just think thats ridiculous. But whatever. At least they put a tonneau on em

Nice vid , You did an upgrade to those brakes on the raptor , i wanna know how are they holding up and if it was worth it , where could i order them ?

Fix Or Repair Daily

Re sale is one thing, but how much have you spent in gas. and once gas goes above 3beans again (nationwide), its not really that different than every other car (per mile)

Based off of any realistic standard of "bullet-proof" it passed. Two electronic conveniences failed and were fixed under warranty, everything else was a aftermarket add on.

Please do a review of a Triton 5.4 on the Ike Gauntlet. A lot of us have them and would love to see your thoughts on how they hold up after all these years.

Roman, did you purchase any kind of extended warranty coverage?

to think this thing had to have brakes done to it at 35,000 is crazy to me. meanwhile my friend has a 2002 Chevy Duramax and has never needed to replace the brakes and has 300,000 miles on it.

The raptor is so bitchin' but I'd rather have a f-250 crew cab 4x4 with the 6.2l. :)

In Philippines, 90% of Ford Raptor 2.0 Bi-turbo owners complain about failing injectors, over and over just after replacement. It's poorly engineered and super unreliable.

In addition to the 3 year / 36k bumper to bumper warranty, Ford has a 5 year / 60k mile powertrain warranty. Is the transfer case / transmission issue not covered a powertrain component?

I'm surprised the trailer brake and telescoping steering wheel were covered under warranty. Thought the standard was powertrain only. Did you purchase extra warranty coverage?

i had a bronco a long time ago that you had to drive backwards to get it out of four low

I think fixing itself is an American thing; my 2013 Wrangler Unlimited fixed its heater (after 2 or 3 weeks blowing only cold) and its front power windows (after a few days) all by itself (and I have never done any water crossing)
