I’ve got a Gen 1 sitting at 116k. Replaced both blend door actuators and now onto the shocks. Love the truck! It been great and very dependable.
Great to see that the truck is still treating you well. I have 135k and love my Gen 1, but one glaring issue I've had was replacing the transmission due to some module failing. It's rare but can happen. Other than that, same general maintenance like you've had.
Your transmission issue is always in the back of my mind, but I have hardly seen anyone with 2014s have issues. I'm doing a trans filter replacement and fluid drain this weekend, hoping that keeps me good for a while. I'll make a video about this, but I really want a 2nd gen raptor, but I can't justify selling this tank and replacing it with a newer truck that may not be as reliable
GEN 2 raptors have the ecoboost which has a slew of issues, the plastic oil pan leaks, the camp phasers will go out sometimes twice before 120k miles and its a steep bill, yes FORD has revised cam phasers but i have seen those fail too... also turbos like to fail around the typical mileage people are buying them used and thats a pretty penny.. IMO its not worth it. and the large moon roofs are notorious for leaking @@Garagetopics
I have a 2012 with 98,000. Changed plugs, flushed coolant, flushed transmission, new brakes and tires are next. I’ll probably bite the bullet and replace the shocks too. Not looking forward to that. I love it! It’s been a great truck.
The camper shell looks great. 👍🏻
Send the shocks to Texas Shock Works. They offer a rebuild service where once you get your rebuilt shocks, you send yours back to them.
Nice! It sounds like we have a similar ownership timeline, I bought my 2014 scab Jan 2023 and has been great since. Only issue i've had: Leaking transmission cooler lines. Swapped those out immediately. Also rebuilt the shocks and got new brakes all around
Raptor videos are always great👍
Definitely a cool looking rig, even with the cap! Glad to see you’re enjoying it in good health!!!
Thanks! Can't complain these days 😎
Love all Gen 1 Raptor vids.
I've got a very similar Raptor, sitting at 105k. Picked mine up after selling my 2013 FX4 and regretting it. The only issues I've had is the Sync system, but I've had a bunch of Ford vehicles with that system, and they all have problems, but I'm still loving my truck.
You can upgrade to a SYNC 3. I just started looking into doing the swap myself, because the SYNC 2 system is garbage
Why regretting it?
@christopherroque9494 not regretting the Raptor, regretted selling my FX4 so I got back into a Raptor
White raptor goes hard ! Built tough
I love my race red 2014.
Absolutely love the cap. Beautiful truck!
Im really considering buying one of these now with how affordable they are.
Thanks for the video. I’m looking to move from a 1st gen tundra to 1st gen raptor also.
It's fair to say that I have 0 regrets!
What kinda bed topper is that? Looks good.
What camper is that?!?
I have been contemplating selling my 2017 F150 5.0 for one of these. Wonder if it is really worth it.
It is.
Needs a supercharger or at least NOS!
That is a good point. This may help with reliability
No Toyota tundra
Please For the love of God take that camper shell off of that truck that just makes the truck looks stupid and ugly and screams that you ain’t gonna use that truck for truck stuff. It’s just a grocery holler vehicle
I use this Raptor to haul cheerios and jump strip mall potholes 💯
Looks more likely to use it for truck stuff with the camper. Assuming taking a truck into the wilderness camping is still truck stuff
Camper stuff is truck stuff
