Love your reviews they are so organic keep up the good work
Thank you, jeepmanls1. We appreciate your support!

Love my 2017 supercab raptor. It is a daily driver.
Sweet! Enjoy your truck, john T, and thanks for watching!
Loved your review, and LOOVEE THAT COLOR 😍... blessings from Panama 🇵🇦
Thanks you, Borys Pimentel! We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
This seems to be an exciting truck to drive.
Great review 👍🏽
Thanks, MoNo K. It truly is.
Ive been looking at raptor videos for a couple weeks now, doing my fair share of research before I really consider buying one. Your video really was easy to follow and hit the major features of the vehicle, with good information, great video thank you.
Happy we could help, Edward Griffin. Thanks for watching!
I use mine as a daily driver. It’s perfectly comfortable in a city environment once you get used to it. Just gotta be aware of parking garage heights.
Straight to the point I like this
Great video! Like your channel, you always have good reviews.
Thank you, M RS. We truly appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Solid review thanks
Thanks for watching, kbkesq!
I'm proud to say I'm about to own a 2019 raptor at 26. My dream car 🥰
Congrats, Daniel Nguyen. Enjoy your truck and thanks for watching!
Congrats dude! I'm literally in the dealership right now, did you pay cash for it? Or did you finance it
Great review, excellent truck!
Thank you, BPRIME! The Raptor is an amazing truck. Thanks for watching!
This is the greatest review of anything I’ve ever seen. That’s not sarcasm or hyperbole
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching, too!
I have a 2003 Pontiac grand am right now and I will buy the 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor some day
just purchased one
Congrats on your new truck, Michał Kwiatkowski. Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Love my 2019 Raptor Supercrew in Ruby Red Metallic.
Nice! Enjoy your truck, sixshooter4570. Thanks for watching!
Best truck on the market love mine!
My Dream Ride !!!
Thank you very much for showing us the truck, instead standing their on camera and then talk about the truck like so many yahoo's critiques out there. Good video. Thank you.
We appreciate your comments, Gregory S. Thanks for watching!
Nice review
Thank you, analyst pamper!
Nice bike!! I was an engineer at SCB during the original VPP development. Then I was an engineer at Fox during the Raptor development.
Chris says "thanks," Honey Badger Offroad! He loves his Santa Cruz and it sounds like you've had some pretty cool jobs. We appreciate your contributions to VPP and Fox. Thanks for watching!
Nice review. Nicer truck. 😁
You’re like my brotha from another motha- rides a Santa Cruz Bronson (mine’s the Industry Blue), likes to offroad, and good taste in sunglasses (I have the same ones you were wearing while driving!). Lol. Nice review.
Ha! You've got good taste, DADventureTV. My Santa Cruz is the Hightower, but that's just semantics. Santa Cruz is Santa Cruz. LOL Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics haha hell yeah- Santa all the way. If you find yourself up in the DMV (DC MD VA) or even WV hmu and I’ll show you some of our trails. 🤙
@@dadventuretv2538 Sounds good!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wow my brother I am very happy to see your video how you efford these cars
Thanks, MrPob. Sadly, these cars aren't mine. We just get them for review then I have to give them back. But we do get some cool stuff to share with you. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics 👌 well done
Fantastic video nicely done 👊
Thank you very much for the kind words, CHUNKY CATS FISHING. And thanks for watching, too!
I would take this beast out on the weekends but the commute I do and the traffic I’m in everyday to and from work, this truck just would not cut it. Spend alottttttttt of money a year for gas if I used this as my daily driver. That’s the only gripe I have with it being a daily driver. But for people who don’t have too long of a commute or a lot of traffic in their area then this would be perfectly fine. Super comfortable truck and probably the best looking full size truck on the market. Mid size truck the trd Pro Tacoma is the best looking imo by far.
I love mine!
We bet you do, 1TUFFTRD. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. I've been a Raptor owner for just over 8 yrs. It takes some getting used to thats for sure and not just drive thrus. Parking lots can be a PITA sometimes and you better check that parking garage clearance before entering.
Very true, My Road Tours. Enjoy your truck and thanks for watching!
Is it that much more noticeable for parking than the f150 super crews?
I wish the raptor front end would of gotten updated with the rest of the f150 lineup in 2018 onwards
It’s too wide to go through drive throughs, but if you fold the mirrors it can go through anywhere!
Just about, el Caballero! And what it can't go through, it'll just go over. Thanks for watching!
There should be a Raptor Classic with the 6.2L, 6 speed and fewer bells and whistles. Btw, nice review.
Thanks for watching, Centredoorplugs Thornton!
Did you take it to downtown Atlanta, to asuper tight parking decks and test bull in china shop mode?
Ha! Sure didn't, gghostrrider. This truck is certainly not made for that. LoL. Thanks for watching!
Nice intro
Thanks, inflow divide! We appreciate you watching.
My 2018 Raptor darts around when I am at freeway speeds and hit an uneven spot in the road; it is actually quite scary. Everything seems tight in the front end but I haven't had the alignment checked yet. I tried but it wouldn't fit on the local garage. Have you had this problem? I don't know if it is the tire setup I have or what, this is the last problem I would expect.
The truck in this review was a press vehicle on loan from Ford for review, Duane Berry. And no, we didn't experience anything like that while we had it. Sounds like you may want to take it to a Ford dealership and have them look at it. Hope you get some answer soon. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice cars
Thanks for watching!
One day man one day.... I’ll own one
That's the right mindset, Ivan Aragon. Don't let it go. Thanks for watching!
My 2018 already has over 15k miles, Fox suspension rides soft, V6 turbo offers much more horsepower and torque than the 5.0, with a 17 average on fuel. If you’re a good driver you can get into any spot and drive thru in town, but it’s not for everyone.
Very true, Claudio Escobedo. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
what bike is that???
I have a wife, a 17 year old kid and a 90lbs dog. I am looking to get a pickup truck sometime next year 2020. I have watched your videos to try to see which would fit our needs best. The trouble is most all reviews focus on towing. My situation is a little different. My primary purpose is to haul the family and commute to work daily ( about 60/40 city/freeway) nothing extreme, and only about 50 miles a day round trip). The truck aspect is for the occasional trash haul, or helping someone move, or getting plywood at Home Depot for some project.
With all that being said, I want the most comfortable room, best fuel economy, reliability, safety and price. What is your recommendation?
Thank you
First and foremost, thank you for your support, marco lopez. In all seriousness, a minivan would handle your needs perfectly, but we assume if you're considering pickups, any of the full-size examples would do you well. We can't comment on reliability, but they're all spacious enough for your family and can surely haul your trash or help people move. A diesel or one of the small 6-cylinders might help with fuel economy, but none of them will be as good as a minivan. Keep in mind, a truck with a serious tow package will get considerably less fuel economy than one without. If you don't need 4wd, a rear wheel drive example will make a difference, too. Hope this helps a little and thanks again for watching!
Thank u
Now let’s see your review of that Santa Cruz....
Ha! We'll have to see about that, John Cardin. Thanks for watching!
AutoAcademics maybe we’ll see you at on the trail some where. :)
@@johnbcardin That sounds like a plan!
V6 3.5? I thought the raptor was standard at the 6.2...I wonder how is the take off compared to the Hemi!
Thats what I'm saying, bigger truck, bigger engine.
Yup. Ford is now running the 3.5 in the Raptor, bbrownasu. Doesn't sound as good, but makes great power. Not sure how acceleration compares to the Hemi, but the Raptor can get to 60 in the low 5's. Thanks for watching!
bbrownasu In Sport mode it is QUICK
What's with the background music
Great review. Wonder why Ford didn't make the 5.0 v8 the standard engine for Raptor.
Derrick Adams Construction Channel cause it doesn’t make any sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Common sense people!!
@@invasion1824
I don't buy trucks without v8 engines. My personal preference for a $65k truck and common sense.
I thought the same thing. I used to have a 2013 with the 6.2L but after purchasing a 2018 with the 3.5L and putting a COBB tune on it...I don't care that it doesn't have a V8. Yeah, it doesn't sound as good as the 6.2L with exhaust on it, but you really don't need to upgrade the exhaust on these. Much quicker, funner to drive than the 6.2L.
You don’t need airbags, you will probably end up driving over top of whatever vehicle is coming for you
Damb I’m buying it lol
It's a mean truck, BENZ GLC63. Thanks for watching!
Intro a bit cheesy
How tall is this guy ?
Chris likes to say he's "average height" but we figure he's around 5'8 or 5'9. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Trucks bite cars.
36 gallon fuel tank 👀
Yup. 500 miles of range on a tank. Thanks for watching, Elliott!
Yep..Most f150 has it
The ride in this truck is not as comfortable as these guys say it is... I don’t know why Auto Academics is not telling the truth about how incredibly harsh the suspension is🤔
darnell rogers Something is wrong with yours then, my 2018 just floats on the highway....way superior to the Platinum/King Ranch. That was the main reason I bought it!
Osteoblaster
Man... It’s a very bumpy ride had a few instances at highway speeds hitting a pot hole that were very dangerous...I mean it’s not a Cadillac but nah...trade it in
darnell rogers something had to be wrong with the one you drove in. Compared to other trucks I’ve had mind almost feels like you are floating on air. It’s in incredible drive no matter what I go over.
This truck has some strong points for sure. At speed this things floats over harsh roads. If it has a harsh jolt it will stabilize its self quickly. My others trucks would not even come close to handling what this truck is capable of. On road the truck is very comfortable.
Is your car for sale? Love to take it over. New is too much. Ha ha
Unfortunately, this Raptor wasn't ours, Cambodia, so we had to give it back. Thanks for watching!
#bolsonaro 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I’ll stick with the TOYOTA TUNDRA 4x4 PRO!!!!
