Should You Buy A Gen 1 Raptor In 2022?

- The Gen 1 Ford Raptor was a game changer when it came out in 2010 and now with Gen 3 Raptors and the NEW Raptor R coming out, I want to step back in time and see if the Gen 1 Raptor is still viable option in 2022.
Gen 1 owner here. I have a 2014 with 119k on it. SCREW with 36 gallon tank. I did the shock exchange on mine right when i got it, you have to service the shocks ever 10-50k miles..depending on how you drive it. Also the fuel pump relay has to be done on all the GEN 1 trucks from 2011 to 2014..Its still a 20 amp but it has to be relocated. They make a kit for it ..ford even has it but they dont do it for free. Other than those 2 things that i did the truck has been amazing. I have a 5 star tune , true dual exhaust with 40 series flow masters, an S&B CAI. i average in the city 12.5mgp and on the interstate i get about 15.3. Thats with a fully loaded bed, 3 passengers and a 240lb english mastiff named tank. I use a fuel additive on ever other fill up and only run 93 octane which with the tune i have loaded has to be used anyways. I have 0 complaints about the truck. Be prepared for IWE failure due to the vaccum hub engagement, you will know if you have this issue trust me. You can do a delete and use Dorman or go back with OE and keep the vaccum engagement. I love my Raptor and it still turns heads and I always get compliments on the truck.
Great Comment. Thanks for the post... I'll be getting a Gen 1 Raptor this week with just over 50k miles and was just curious about the two items you mentioned...Relay relocation as well as servicing the shocks? How would I know if this is done or not? Is this something Ford handles or can independent service facilities take care of this? Also what is IWE failure and how do I fix it. Sorry about all the questions, I'm trying to crash course on Raptor's and what I need to do when it arrives. Thanks Again!!
Would add another item on the "to do" list, add a Cabin Air Filter kit
@@cdf8821 You can tell if the relocation has been done if there is a fuse in slot 70. There should also be a sticker under the fusebox lid. Shocks are hard to tell if they've been done unless the truck is obviously riding rough. I would say with 50k they probably have not been rebuilt but unless you can ask the previous owner its hard to tell. Texas shock works put a date sticker on mine when I got them rebuilt so you could look for something like that. IWE failure happens when the vaccuum lines going to the hubs get brittle and start to deteriorate, this causes a vaccuum leak and the hubs will partially engage 4wd which will make a grinding noise in 2wd and go away in 4wd. You can get IWE deletes but the CVs will always be spinning... not really necessary unless u offroad alot just check/replace the vacuum lines periodically (like every 25-50k miles). Ford doesn't rebuild shocks, you can do an exchange program like texas shock works or forged offroad or buy them new, alot of guys will also go to the bolt on 3.0s vs the stock 2.5's because they have longer rebuild intervals and ride better on and offroad but youre looking at about $5000 for all 4 corners.
@@jackbrink9898 I have a 11 6.2L F150 even though there was a fuse relocation sticker, they fused the wrong circuit, there is a similar wire in there :lol:
So gen 1 all the way
Yes, after a comprehensive maintenance of the Raptor 6.2, I say with pride that it is the best truck in the world, and even better than using EcoBoost.
Showing LOVE for the channel thank you for this video, I'm honestly about to be in the market for a gen1 and I just so happened to see this video on my home page out of the blue so I truly do believe that's my sign LoL thanks again for the video man. Have a blessed day everyone
Thanks for posting the video, great job! Glad I am not the only one that feels this way about Gen1 Raptors. Being a 2011 Raptor owner, I always said I would drive this thing until the wheel fall off. 165k miles and still running strong! She has done all I have asked of her from off road to hauling an RV to hauling horses on a goose-neck I had installed. You can dress her up or take her to work. And being in her advanced years, she still turns heads. Love my Raptor and hope to get many more miles out of her!
Nice man thanks brother 👊🏻
I agree!
I own a gen 1, 2011 here in France and I love this truck. The only problem is the Fox shocks. Already rebuilt once but the problem has reappeared after a few months
Do you think the raptor could handle being a minor work truck with the lower payload? I would be switching from a 2015 with about 600 pounds of potential tools and I don't need to put much in the bed but may have more people in it than just me at times. The tools would be sitting in the rear rather than mostly the bed and I would be getting a four door 2013 with the reinforced frame
Thanks for the review brother! I just bought a 2014 raptor and so far I’m loving it!
I love my '13 Raptor supercab! I ordered it back in the day, blue flame, spray in liner from Ford, fully loaded minus graphics. It still turns heads and gets compliments. Only mods I did is Stainless steel headers with Flowmaster outlaw series mufflers, CAI, SCAT custom tune and bigger throttle body. IMO, you just can't beat that V8 sound. It's a keeper!
I just bought a 2012 gen 1 single owner all records maintained and in a folder. This thing is very nice to drive it has lots of little upgrades such as MSD ignition coils new NGK plugs, drilled and slotted rotors, bbk throttle body,bbk cold air intake,corsa extreme cat back exhaust, aftermarket headlights and tail lights, different diff cover with drain, method rims, sequential signals in mirrors and a host of other nice little mods has 100k on it and the previous owner shared pictures with me of him threw several stages of this truck going down the assembly line. I feel i got super lucky and got one from a guy that really loved his truck.
2011 base raptor here 283k on it daily driver
You still have the truck? If so, how many miles now?
@@raulgallardo5140 I have a 2010 with the 5.4 as a daily. At 198K right now and so far no major issues.
@@DavidBnks02 thats amazing 😎
I'm planning to buy a gen 1 2014 Ford Raptor SVT and your video helped me a lot. I could really make a good decision. Keep it going. Loved it 😍😍
Good review. Have 2013 Gen 1 and still love it 👍
Just got my gen 1 a few months ago and I love it! Might be little biased though since I'm coming from a dinosaur 04 duramax lol. But I love it, I daily drive it and I have a little fun with it on the weekends to! It rides great, it sounds great had just enough power and it looks good! Perfect daily and perfect weekend toy!
I just picked up a 2014 Crewcab with 60k miles and LOVE it...! In the 3 weeks I've had it, I upgraded the front rotors and pads with slotted discs, replaced the factory rear diff cover with one that has a drain plug and changed out the fuel pump fuse as a precaution- Apparently, Ford trucks of this era have a fuse problem that needs to be upgraded (easy fix). If I drive @ 70-75mph, I'm turning about 2000 rpm and getting 14.1 mpg on regular fuel... My Toyota 4x4 pickup only got 18 and couldn't tow like this 6.2... Drives like a Cadillac, really! You will PAY for a clean, low miles first gen, but way better than buying a run of the mill 4x4 for $60k+
Good review! After having a gen2, now a gen3, i wish i would have sprang for a gen1 back in the day to have a full understanding of the 3 gens. I wont go back now, but gen1 was the pioneer and the Raptor in general (all gens) has proven itself over and over, and why i keep coming back for more!
Sorry my friend your gen2 and gen3 are not raptors they are a sad piece of overpriced garbage with a camry motor trying to clone the real deal.
Love my 2010 Raptor SVT 6.2 V8❤️🔥
Wanted one since 2010, and my patience paid off back in August of 2021, and I haven't looked back since.
Just bought a 2010 myself. Can’t wait to actually drive it haha
Love our gen 1. We live in Hawaii and Cruz on the beach. It’s got 120k , still going strong. Can’t beat that V8 sound!
Just grabbed a Gen 1 2013 Super Crew Cab with 66k miles here in California. Well kept by the previous owner. Paint and interior is in great condition. Love it so far!
how much was it
Ofcourse you should . I just got mine 3 days ago and love it every time i get in it and drive . Its a 2014 ruby red with 157k miles .. drives perfect
I have a Gen 1 with just over 200k miles on it only upgrade I’ve done were new oem shocks
Also a 2 inch lift great truck and very dependable if you take care of it. It will take care of you
My daily driver I bought it with used 12 k miles on it first owner was older man so he took very good care of it.
I have a 2013 super cab in the terrain color. I’m going to replace the suspension with SVC’s King upgrade package, install lights and bumpers, and some power upgrades. With those upgrades I’ll be holding on to the truck forever.
What I love about the Ford Raptor and Ford Mustang is that they are so damn timeless.
I would NEVER guess that truck is a 2012 because it looks so damn similar to the 2022 other than the crew cab.
But I say all that to say, you can buy one and keep it forever and not feel the need to upgrade all the time for the "newer look"
Yes. Just got my 2014 Ruby Red high mileage and drives like a dream. It is a legendary truck
I have one with Roush super charger. I love it it's fast I still get 13 mpg but hands down best vehicle I've ever owned.
Liked and subbed. Not nearly enough likes on this. Well done.
2010-2011 FR Raptor XT
Changed the cams for 500hp naturally aspirated.
How much did that set you back? Looking to get a little more power, but don't really want to go forced induction.
Love my Molten 2010 with the 6.2!
My 2014 SVT special edition has 117K with only a battery, rotors, shocks, tires replaced. This truck replaced my 2012 SVT and is the only time I have ever replaced a vehicle with same after owning over 50 cars in my 75 year of existance. I am one of the few that payed well under sticker! I still have the window sticker and this super cab with EVERY option was only around 55K! Anyway, my dealer says "never sell this truck". This will be my last vehicle I will likely own or drive at my age. PS I run regular gas so considering how many newer vehicle now require premium at 50 plus cents a gallon, well not too bad. Thanks for the great review - well detailed and easy to understand.
I just bought a 2011 Raptor and I am absolutely loving it
Mine is a 2013, 6.2 liter. No side graphics, which I like! Kind of like an undercover Raptor! Love the power, don't know why anyone would want more! Fun to drive! Hard to find used, but got mine for $36000, lucky me! Yeah, allot for a used truck, but just beat the used car market! Sure I could sell it for much more, but won't! Very happy with it! Dream truck! And that 6.2 is one of the most dependable motors ford ever built! Honestly like the 1st gen looks better than the newer ones!
I’m thinking about bought a 2011 Ford raptor 90k miles on 15,650. Is a good deal?
@@ea8644 15k for an 11 raptor with 90k? Seems to be about half what it should be what's the catch? Lol. If there is no issues with it that is an extremely good deal but check it out because it seems suspiciously low.
@@midnight347 they’re very depreciated on my country cause the gas prices going up nobody wants to buy a 6.2l engine I recently seen another new offer for 14k with 192k miles
@@ea8644 what country is that? I would fly in and buy both of them right now! 😂
@@MrCalifornia0 Panama City, Panamá
SPOT ON, I just purchased a 2011 SCrew with 62k on it. Yes it needs new tires, yes I need to rebuild the foxers, but you hit on the main bullet points that pushed me over the edge for these icons! I purchased from a guy that thought he would never sell his, meaning, he purchased a FORD Premium care warranty that will cover me until Aug of 2027 or 117k w/ a $100 deductible😮… what’s not to love from the 6.2 beast, wide fenders and must have cigarette lighter😅. I drove 5.5 hours to get her and love every inch of her. Great review!
Sold my gen 2 when I had multiple cam phasers issues and got a Gen1 single owner never abused and drives better than my gen 2 did.
I’ve heard that the 2nd gen is the worse.
Still have my 2012 SuperCrew Gen1. Last week was the build week start for my Gen 3 37. My truck has 190+k on it and it is the best truck I have ever had. Shocks have been rebuilt 3 times and it runs, sounds, and feels like it did the day I picked it up. 2nd owner. Had 23k on it when I picked it up. Was originally planning to keep it till they and the Gen 3 announced the R. I am at the top of my dealerships' R allocation list. From a milage standpoint. I get 14.5 mixed city/hwy with regular gas and always have. I typically see 17ish on road trips but that can change if you are pushing higher speeds (up around 80) or pulling a trailer. Even with nearly 200k, it is going to be difficult for me to part with it when the new truck comes in.
To be honest, it will be tough to let your Gen 1 go...Seems like you have history together, lol...Oh, how often did you have your shocks rebuilt? What company did you use to do this? Thanks
How in the world are you getting 17ish on trips? You have a miracle truck man.
Just bought a 2013 Raptor to replace a 2015 Silverado. The 6.2L engine sure bears the eco boost sounds by far. Glad I went with the work horse.
I love my Ford Raptor 1G 2010 Red Magenta 5.4L
Love my gen 1 raptor 2010 just hit 100k miles in 2022
The only drawback is super cabs can’t fit subwoofers under the rear seats without a small down fire box so sound system up grade is limited at best
I have my 2014 SE for 8yrs and will never let it go.
My 2013 has 138K miles and it’s a great truck.
My dad's got a 2010 (Build date on the door is actually 2009) despite it falling apart due to New York salt he still enjoys driving it.
Yes you should. I Just bought one last week 100,000 miles on .Found it in molten orange 2011. Never own one but I love it. Hope it last a long time.
I just bought a 2012 Supercrew with 16k original miles. Never even been off road, the thing is mint condition. Very excited
Thats insane! How’s it been holding up so far?
Considering a low mileage 2012 H-D edition that has the 6.2 in it. Looks solid. History is good. Any tips on what to watch for? I know sunroof has problems, but the dealer did work on it, and I would never open it. Heard about the fuse 27 issue. Spark plugs a pain/expensive. Anything else? Appreciate any advice.
2012 Raptor super crew owner here in iconic silver. I absolutely love my truck! It’s very rare seeing a Gen1 in SoCal, all I see are Gen2’s and more Gen3’s. Once every few weeks I’ll see 1 other Gen1 and never in my color!
But I have bronze method 305’s, black widow exhaust, k&n intake, winch, air compressor, fox 3.0 with KHC coil bucket, evil mfg uca’s/LCA’s, deaver +3 springs, RPG RST 18 in rear with fox 3.5 triple bypass, iwe deletes, going to be switching out my front setup for rpg bolt kit soon with adv fiberglass all around and 37’s.
It’s a hell of a truck, better gas mileage than the Tacoma I had plus much more power! Now my malamute has room to move around in the truck!
Would I buy another?! Absofukkinlutely!!
That’s a beautiful truck.
Had a gen 1 2011, traded it for a gen 2 2018 which was rear-ended and totalled so I bought a super low mileage shelby gen 1. It's hard to tip that v8 6.2 sound and feel.
I just bought one. 2014 supercab. It’s being delivered tomorrow
How are you liking your Raptor? How many miles did it have? Any work you plan on doing to it... Congrats!!
@@cdf8821 it has 248k miles. Runs and shifts perfect. Interior is very clean. I’d like to upgrade the shocks to the new Fox 3.0 set and change out the front and rear bumpers, upgrade to the Shelby big brakes, and eventually overhaul the motor with larger pistons and put a whipper supercharger on it.
@@cdf8821 it already came with the Sync 3 upgrade that works perfect, Smittybuilt winch, air pump w/air tank, and LED off-road lights.
@@cdf8821 mine is white with the exact same black interior with the blue accents as the one in the video
@@patriotarmament7407 Geez Umm!! That's gonna be one hell of a truck!!! Hopefully you can do a walk around video on it! Congrats again on the delivery tomorrow!!
2013 raptor with 203k runs amazing.haven’t found anything this truck can’t do.
I bought my 2010 6,2 Raptor in 2011 in Alaska. I have only 71,000 miles but I beat the crap out of it off-roading. I retired to NC and drove it only in bad weather. It’s 2024 and I have a new found appreciation for it! I think I’ll supercharge it and put big ass shocks on it and make it a true Baja truck.
i own a Black 2014 SVT Ford Raptor (SuperCab) , i live in Kuwait and the Raptor is imported from America, i am the 1st owner
Just hit 62 Mile-ish. it is my daily use truck. and it is VERY clean.
And if there will be no Raptor R, i would even THINK to sell it.
This truck is the best in everything. hands down.
and i am planning to sell it around $42,000
Edit: (SuperCab).
No upgrades needed... Gen 1s rule! The first the best I feel.
Oh! If you drive it on the freeway, like a grandpa I am,,,, you can get 16 mpg out of it. Got 16 mpg out of it on my trip to south dakota.
Got rid my 2009 Range Rover Sport with 85k for 2014 Gen 1 Raptor silver w/ exactly like the one you demo ed except it’s a four door and it’s a beautiful thing sooo much leg room both in front and in the back my two Mastiff’s Cane & 22 yr old French Mastiff ( think he’s an anomaly ) they lay in between while my daughter is in the booster seat lol, all her friends in school admire Dad’s truck they call it the cool monster truck when I my off and take her to school or come get her … Had an Avalanche 20 yrs ago which I loved too especially for tailgating @ football games the coolers side compartments was great but the Raptor is all around the best & coolest driving , sounding All around truck . I’m never getting rid of it .
I sold my 2017 Gen 2. I couldn't stomach the sound of the V6. HAVE to have the V8 sound and performance. I bought a 2014 with 55k miles. I'm looking forward on some engine upgrades soon, along with an exhaust.
I’m thinking about selling my 2018, are you still happy that you exchanged for the Gen 1? I love my Gen 2, I just constantly wish it had a V8!
@@MrCalifornia0 I'm so glad I made the switch. Nothing like that V8 sound and performance. The ONLY thing I miss from my 2017 is the bells and whistles of the interior. Of course it being a newer model it's going to have more to offer.
Hell yeah I bought one in 2024. Great trucks
Got a 2012 Raptor last month and love it got it with 152k miles on it i was a little nervous at first but I’m glad i pulled the trigger. Haven’t done any Mods yet but want to add FlowMasters and some other things
Been hearing about the shock rebuild and the fuse but havent ran came across any problems yet

Yes it'd be fine, it's also really easy and common for people to just throw another set of deaver springs in the rear to handle the additional weight better 👍
@@cg6301 thanks man.
Would be nice to have a truck that can do it all instead of needing two different ones.
I love my 2014 screw...mine is charged.its changed my mind about ford in general. I have 156k mi on mine. I wouldnt trade it for anything. The things raptors are capable of are amazing. My truck has saved my bacon many of times.
I've been so busy trying to figure out if I should, that I never stopped to think if I could... And I can't xD
My biggest complaint is the lack of leg room in the back. Anyone who wanted to ride in the back would need to be of short statue. Still it's cheaper than the newest trucks.
There’s one near me 2013 with 114k miles for 29k should I pull the trigger?
I've only ever seen a 2012 ford raptor Shelby for sale once.
I like the blue instead of orange interior
Great Vid, I just purchased a 2014, and no info came with it. So these Vid's are super! It's so damn Sexy!!
I’m looking at reviews of first gens and personally it feels dated to me, I rather get a second gen but I want that v8
80k on my gen 1 she has never left me stranded and I mob the hell out of my rig. I drive new trucks and go home to see that they offer nothing more than my truck already has. She is a hammer compared to the Drill as I like to call the boosted engines. Yes a drill is faster, but a Ol hammer will never let you down!
I can't find ANY that arent all ragged out.
Curious how many miles these motors are good for? I just looked at a 2013 with 231k miles on it. Great condition and appears to be well taken care of...but at over 200k in miles how much more life can the truck really have left in it before some major money has to be spent on it? Thanks in advance!
I would like a answer on this also but I think that most things on the truck like the shocks, the fluids bushings, and even certain parts of the engine will have to be thoroughly looked at numerous. Always remember that things don’t last forever.
I've got 225,000 miles . I do have a squealing noise . Replaced woth idle rollers, belt tensioner, alternator, still have squealing. Guess I need to take it to dealership . Maybe harmonic balancer, or internal timing chain tensioner.
Maybe power steering
I have an opportunity to get a 2012 Raptor in race red with a lot of options, 38” tires, 6inch lift, light bars, intake & exhaust etc. it has 120k miles going for $32k is that a good deal and is the mileage too high?
That's a good deal bro u especially I'f it comes built jus look inspect the truck I'f it hasn't been abused or jumped before buying that's my experience
@@antoniodelgado4939 That one sold but I found another with BDS lift and a lot of other upgrades 2013 with 90k miles $33k
@@Lilwebstarr that's a good deal to bro go for it there really reliable trucks
@@antoniodelgado4939 Thanks man I think I will. I’ve heard they are extremely reliable and bulletproof engines lol
Owned my 2012 for 5 years and it has 83k now. I can say with conviction it is the best truck ever made and I will never sell it.
Laughing a bit at how important "technology" is to some folks. Less the better over the long run. My main concerns are does it run well and reliably.
What’s the max I should be paying on a 1st gen raptor
Depends on the year and cab. Rule of thumb is less than 90k miles = 33,000. Over 90k 29,000. With gas prices the way they are you will easily bargain to these prices. Stay away from 2010 and 2011. 12, 13, 14 supercrew best.
It really depends on the miles and mods. On the extreme high end I would say $55k would be the max for a low miles supercharged 2014 until you get into built prerunner territory.
Got a gen1 with 60k miles and whipple going in next week.
I just got mine last week. 2013 Roush Raptor with the Roush supercharger 30k Miles in Terrain color. The thing is a beast!
@@tannercc That's Awesome!!
How much did y’all pay for your raptors?
🔥
I have 2014 Raptor , it just stands out from a regular truck … super reliable..they are UNIQUE 😎
Still love the truck! 13.5 mpg average most of the time. Again, as docile as you want or as stupid as you want,,, all depends on your right foot! :)))
Thinking of buying this 2014 raptor with 170k dealer asking 27k. What do you think is it actually worth?
I think 20k sounds more reasonable it has alot of miles but that's just me
@@antoniodelgado4939 yeah I ended up getting a used 2014 from a private seller for 21k. Has 4.56 gearing, 37s, deaver springs, icon upper control arm, svc bump stops, rad flo front and rear shocks, sync 3 upgrade, upgraded brakes/rotor.
Should you buy a Gen __ Raptor in the year _____? Answer is always yes.
Especially a super cab gen 1 with the 6.2. That is the best one imo. It starts out with less peak hp but the na v8 has snappier response and when I get one I wanna throw a 2.3 tvs on it. I'd like to throw a 2650 on it but I can't find where anyone has done it. I don't want a Whipple I am a tvs guy not bashing the Whipple I just like the tvs blowers and I think they fit the character of a truck well with their snappy response and torque and they can go much longer without needing a rebuild.
Comparing the horsepower to other trucks, the Raptor is so heavy, you’ll lose every race! I used to own one… 😂
The first were $130k but sticker on these were like $43,000 in 2012. Even with inflation, current pricing is completely inflated and unnecessary.
Gas mileage is CRITICAL to me (storm chasing = massive annual mileage and cost)
Personally, I really wanted the 5.4L to have been offered longer. I don't need extreme fast performance and the slightly better mileage would have been waaaaay better for me. HOWEVER, the 2010 (only year of the 5.3L) was only offered as an extended cab. The full crew cab was added the second year (2011) but dropped the 5.3L. I really wish I could afford the Ecoboost although the longevity/reliability is questionable and always prefer V8s (same with 4runners/Sequoia debate. I don't know...maybe if I could get my YT monetized I could afford any of it.
Got mine for $31k with 70k miles matte black with fuel rims I like it
Drinks in the rear Cupholders get hit with my elbow
The raptor should have a open tailgate senser warning in the dash
Lots of things to be impressed about but
Man wheres the warning
The weatherstripping below the back doors are completely missing by the factory leaving the cab open to snow and its rusting out the door sill
Love the seats
Backup camera is in the tailgate
Useless when its off or down
The white backup lts arent even bright enough for the camera to be used for backing up at nite
Took it to a ice covered mud bog
The ice took out the left exhaust manifold
Its get a whole lot of looks and im very happy to have one
