- For this video, we hop in a beast of a truck- the Ford Raptor! This is the first time I've reviewed a truck in almost two years, and it was a lot of fun! The Raptor is extremely capable even on the street where I didn't go easy on it. Stay awesome and have a great day! Social stuff, Tshirts, and more below!

218k miles on my 2013, 0 issues. Local guy has 406k miles on his original drivetrain on his and 0 issues. Love mine.
I cringed when he put it in 4low and launched it
8 years late, but yea that’s a good way to nuke the transfer case
This thing seemed like a tank compared to some of the cars I've driven- was such a blast though! Thanks for watching and stay awesome!
ThatDudeinBlue since this is your 399th video, are you going to do a special video to celebrate the 400 milestone David?
ThatDudeinBlue Now all that's next is the Velociraptor from Hennessy
Lean Max87 400th vid and 300k subscriber special?
ThatDudeinBlue have you considered doing video on your opinion on the 2016 raptor?
FatalityTwinz 300k video yes, 400th video no.
Oh you lucky son of a gun.. I adore that car
TJ if you can, review some trucks bro!
Tj Hunt tj That's not a car... That be a truck....
I hate it when people car trucks cars... Pet peeve of mine.
Lukas19360 Yeah... I hate when people car trucks cars as well...lmao
+Tj Hunt Don't listen to these guys Tj they knew what you meant there just trying to point ur mistakes out.
I'm not a truck guy, but this is the only truck I would consider getting.
What about dodge srt10 ram
That immediate grin as you drove it....Mine hasn't faded since I bought my 2012. Raptors are incredible.
Awesome video as always! All I would like to add is that the reason it doesn't like 40 mph in 4 low is because 4 low is more for crawling and going speeds under 15-25 mph. 4 high is for those speeds over that.
Not sure you should be running it in 4x4 Low on pavement.And not sure you should be doing like 40MPH in 4 low either.
+Torpedomtb Agree! There is a big difference between all wheel drive and four wheel drive and he seemed to think it was one in the same.
Ugh, I cringed. Never go above 10mph in 4lo on ANY vehicle - not just a Raptor.
John Lamb yeah especially with over 400hp
You can go as fast as the truck will let you in 4low and it won't hurt it
I would've never guessed you would've reviewed one of these but I'm so glad you did.
You aren't supposed to put the F-150 in 4wheel on dry pavement, in the manual it even says DONT
You really shouldn't be using 4WD high or low on dry pavement. the center diff is locked, the front and rear axles can't rotate at different speeds, every time you take a turn you're chewing up tires.
he did it for the review its not like hes driving it for like a week and doing that. you have no chill.
murmaider2 yea i cringed when he took off in 4lo
Yea but it's not his
alex ruiz
or I just want him to be aware of that for the future since he clearly didn't know. Calm yourself.
It's ok to do that in a straight line, there's people that even drag race locked. But for turns your completely right. You can even snap diffs and axles doing it.
TRC shirt=thatracingchannel.
ThatDudeinBlue I thought it was a TRD shirt and was laughing at that.
Huge fan of you'res I love the reviews whenever the come on I just think would you look at that, just look at it. You should ask forest to drive his new Cummins.
Aww I thought it was TRD- Toyota racing development
DUDE YOU NEED TO DO A SRT8 JEEP!!
+rcysi yes I fuckin love u
Since youre doing trucks, do an SVT Lightning please!
Awesome review David!! I have always wanted a Raptor and now after watching your review I want one even more.
David I love how regardless of what you're driving, you can't help but smile every time you accelerate hard... Acceleration always brings a smile to my face too, especially when there's boost involved, it just never gets old lol...
from my experience you never wanna come close to 40MPH in 4low... like 10-15 tops... 4high you should be able to do upto 40 with no issues
Nice vid! Should have taken off road. I used to be a car guy but since i bought my fx4, im now a truck guy for life. Raptor is my next vehicle!
We wanted too, but were limited on time and also nowhere to take it legally. I also thought since TS already proven off-road, why not still review it as a street truck.
David = King of cinematic car shots!
Brilliant Video! :)
Was waiting for a nice review of this truck, great job!
Man I stopped watching after you put that beautiful truck in 4 low and hauled ass. That's designed for when you're stuck and need to slowly crawl out of mud, snow, and sand and can also be used to pull someone who's stuck. If you had to use 4 wheel drive on the highway use 4 high. Not hating on you just throwing that out there.
Yeah, I cringed when he hauled ass and stated he was in 4 low.
Very cringeworthy!!
Wow I about had a heart attack when I saw the same thing. He has no business driving a 4wd.
+Esokol88
im sure his buddy is gonna love that part of the video! lol
i had the same thought lol I was like noooooo...
Raptors are awesome. Not too much of a truck person, but they're pretty cool
Trucks will grow on you. It is all about execution and body style.
Simple Auto1 Yeah, any performance truck is pretty cool imo
Jared Moore this is one truck I like too. Have a couple of customer's who have them. They bring them in for service. Really good looking trucks. I could drive one as long as I also had a sports car.
Ty Gobble Same here. I couldn't just drive it, but as something to go off roading in an stuff, it would be sweet(especially if you step up to the Shelby version :)
+Jared Moore. Hey, you just taught me something. Didn't know they made the Shelby version. That sounds even better...lol
It's amazing how fast David's channel has really taken off!!! He's almost at 300,000 subscribers already!!! I remember watching his Smurf videos and loving his car which now I myself own a 2014 Mustang GT!!! Huge fan :)
I've been waiting for you to review this truck for so long!
FYI: 4 low is for hardcore off road stuff and slow speed crawling whereas 4 high is used in snow and higher speed off-road situations, ie dirt roads. The whole point of 4 low is to get the engine into its power band more quickly and to maintain a slower speed. It's also useful for engine braking on loose hills. Any kind of crawling you do will be in 4 low.
NEVER run a vehicle on dry pavement in 4 low, that's a really good way to destroy a transfer case. I know you didn't know this so I'm just giving you a heads up for future reference :)
Source: Been driving 4wd trucks since I was 10.
I personally think you should explore the truck scene some more, David! I have a decent amount of friends with trucks that are absolutely wonderful to drive. One of my bestfriends from high school has a second-gen Ram 2500 with a Cummins turbo diesel paired with a 6-speed. The term "Smiles per gallon" is ever so true with his truck.
***** He should! David, you can test drive my 2011 F-150 FX2 Sport!
3.5l Twin Turbo V6, 6 speed, 3.15 gears, MPT 93 Octane Tune, 22lbs of Boost, 500hp, 630tq. 0-60 is low 5sec and would be just as fast as your 5.0.
It's stock man, 3.5 ecoboost. 365hp and 420tq stock at 12psi, with CAI, Catless DP, and a custom 93 octane performance tune you get 135hp and around 200tq at 22psi. Hell, just a preloaded tune from SCT gives you 74hp 124tq.
Jason Davis The 5.0's stock do 0-60 in 4.5 sec, so not quite as fast.
***** yes?
Oh true, I thought they were in the 5's
loved the video David! it was a nice change of pace to see a truck video.
Love the truck reviews every once and a while
One thing I've noticed about the new F-150s, is that the back seats have so much room.
Great vid David, I've always loved Raptors! They look so aggressive!
I've been waiting for this review for a long time. Bad ass truck.
I'm sitting here watching this for the first time, thinking to myself, "I hope he's not really driving on a dry, paved road in 4 wheel drive!" Perfect way to fuck your shit up, doing shit like that!
dude you're gonna fuck that truck up launching from 4wd on pavement
Owner told me too.Challenge accepted.
ThatDudeinBlue well if he gave you permission, no harm done lmao
how do you fck up when launching a 4x4?

lmCIoudz Launching/ driving straight wont hurt anything at all. Only when turning will the driveline bind and possibly cause damage.
It always interesting to hear someone's point of view who doesn't drive a truck everyday. I've grown up driving trucks, and some of the stuff you say just makes me smile... Haha.
Never been a big ford guy but they have been killing it the last couple years with the new mustang, new gt, the fiesta and focus ST, and the raptor.
Okay I need to correct you on something. 4H is for regular off roading and any other situation where you need better traction such as snow. 4L is for situation where you need better traction and a lot of low end torque such as pulling something or hard core off roading.
I'm not a really big truck giy either, but I do love the Raptors. Plus this thing looks amazing in black. Great review as always David.
guy*
Hey hey another truck review! Sick
I love the Raptor, nice to see you doing one of these.
Dude you don't put it in 4low and take off
Flights Daily glad you just say not to with out giving reasons why
Youre asking to break stuff taking off in 4LO... Also 4LO in the snow is usually nearly uncontrollable.
i just watched a full comercial for you dave! it was a Ford commercial so it wasn't so bad ;) love the channel
You know when I went to a "rich kids" high school, the parking lot was always full of G wagons and Land Rovers, etc. But along with all that there was this couple, a guy and a girl, who both drove Ford Raptors with Insane Lift Kits. His was Black with Green Decals, hers was Pink.
In those days, when i was driving a hatchback, I scoffed at how huge and audacious they seemed but now that I own an f-150 xlt I've been looking back at the anthology of Ford Trucks and hot damn.....do I want a Raptor.
I wouldn't opt for the lift kit personally but when there exists a tank amongst cars I want in.
if you had to pick a Lightning or a Raptor, what would you choose?
Hey dave your almost 100 times larger than when i subbed.
Pot0107 OG Status^
Great and Consistent content Dude keep it up.
Really enjoyed this review man! I was laughing when you told the story of the fod ranger because I have one xD
"If you want to daily a truck, you can get a Raptor" LOL! Not unless you want to deal with 8mpg or less. That truck is a weekend fun truck and that's about it.
Haha yeah, I was thinking more of the interior and what not for comfort.
ThatDudeinBlue
I actually know someone who daily's a Raptor. But he has fuck you money. He used to have a huge five bedroom house and he had a three bedroom pool house with a full bar built next to his pool so that his guest wouldn't have to spend the night in his house.
When his kids started going to this private school that was about 30-45 minutes away he bought a second three bedroom house near the school so that when the kids had sports practice and games they could go to that house and work on their homework before the game instead of going back to their house and not having as much time to do homework before they had to head back out.
TheCobruhAlienat0r I currently know a guy who dailys a raptor (and he doesn't use it for construction of landscaping or anything like that) he just uses it as a daily vehicle and he owns just one 5 bedroom which only costs about 450k at most, sooooo
Leois12
Okay? That's still a lot of money for a house so he has 'fuck you' money as well. I don't think anyone would use a Raptor for construction or landscaping because it sits up too high and it's payload and towing rate is lower than a normal truck.
The guy I was talking about sold both of those houses and bought one big house, I think it's a 5 bedroom as well, and he still owes money on it. I think his was over $1mil.
TheCobruhAlienat0r honestly his wife drives an old Nissan sentra, so if he were as rich as you think she probably wouldnt drive that car
Shouldn't you be driving a Camry?
I have a 94' lightning with beltech drop spindles and minor bolt-ons and I've always wanted to watch one of your videos on my truck!
I'm a car guy and I agree that this truck has a special effect on many other car enthusiasts. I saw a red lifted one yesterday and my jaw dropped. Also, hi David!
what're you talking about? ALL of Virginia is the worst road in Virginia. lol
I want to tear that 6.2 litre engine out and put it on a '60 fiat 500 and then super tune it so I can hit warp speed
Verbose Slayer haha yes that would be great
+Verbose Slayer Just don't hit warp 10.
you can only go so fast with the 6.2 because of gear ratios and redlines. it's the torque and acceleration you're looking at getting. otherwise a straight 1.6 liter 4 cylinder with the same red line as the raptor and the same geared tranny would have the same top speed
ThatDudeinBlue Seriously love these vids man keep up the good work!
Sometimes I feel lost with all of the car lingo on this channel, but I still love seeing all of the reviews you post. I love cars, but I only know car names, brands, and what type of body structure I like in a car. That's as far as my car knowledge goes. I especially love Smurf. Blue is my favorite color.
Why do you keep calling the truck a car?
Gee, wonder I you can get your hands on a Ram SRT-10
Darude Her Right In The Sandstorm™ me too, roughly 2 hours from him as well
Hoping to film one of these on our channel soon! :D Jealous you got to drive it. We've got quite a few of random dirt roads that lead to lakes and stuff so hopefully we'll be able to take it off-road
Me and my dad actually got to drive the Raptor about 1 year before they came out since they were cold weather testing them where I live and he knew some guys who worked for the state (that's who was testing them for ford) and we got to test it out on some dirt trails! It was a blast.
Do a Cummins turbo diesel review
lol wut?
Adam Cooper cummins supports gays lol. Look it up along with their rainbow ads
Christian Miller You got a problem with that?
Random Finnish Sounds like you do though!
Afraid to give a clear answer?
Wait isn't 4H for snow and 4L for crawling?. Correct me if I'm wrong.
4 high is used for general traction situations. Snow, ice, mud and such. 4 low is beneficial when you're going up a steep hill or going through thick mud or sand. With the lower gear ratio, it will turn the wheels slower but increase the torque output to the wheels.
So if you were to try going up a steep hill in 4 high, you could come to a point where you lose momentum and have to give it more gas, which could result in your tires spinning. Here, 4 low helps to keep the tires moving slow and steady but with LOW rpm torque.
BleedBlue_ _TillIDie Aha. Thanks for the info.
Raptor are really awesome indeed , here in Australia we've got a few and man they are cool !
I love the review good on ya buddy
Australia
I think a lot of car guys feel the same way you do about the Raptor David. I'm not a truck fan by any means, but if I were to ever buy a truck it would be the Raptor. The motor, the interior, the sporty outside look. It appeals to car guys and truck guys
such a sexy truck

David does the Smurf struggle to take corners quickly?
Nope. Just have to have confidence. Haha. Motortrend years ago did a times lap with E92 M3 and a coyote mustang and the Mustang only lost by a tenth. Good ol willow springs. But driver confidence/skill must be higher
TonyAvalosGTA if it doed, what suspension components did you have to change in order to remove all the body roll?
ThatDudeinBlue Glad to hear that :D, thanks for the advice and response, keep making awesome videos!
I've always liked the look of the Ford Raptor, Great video
Great video, this truck looks great. I always liked the Raptors glad to see you review one. Only thing I don't like is the very prideful FORD on the grill, I would change it out. .
holy fuck using 4 low like that, hope you paying to rebuild his transfer case.... and if your gonna talk about 4 wheel drive at least know what your talking about
the Raptor is so fucking overpriced.
I saw one on a Ford lot with a $72,000 price tag.
Awesome David, I always wanted to drive a raptor.
Crazy how far trucks have come. My 19 Silverado LT Z71 Trail Boss has a knob for off road and sport modes, off road display, rancho shocks, 2" factory lift on Duratracs, AWD and 4wd on the fly, and a loud exhaust. It's 80% of a Raptor for half the price
And from the sides it looks like a Toyota Tundra and I hate the front end
Ferd rerpter
4 low is for the snow? Lmao you have no clue what you're talking about
KMT15 yeah he's definitely not a truck guy
4 low is good if you have a house you need ripped down or tree uprooted 😂but not even needed in a raptor
@@kevindavidson6715 In the raptor its there to crawl and get out of a sticky situation, and i mean ppl by this truck as a daily do everything truck so its necessary for uprooting a tree, why wouldnt you do that ? you should have to go buy a fricken F350 King Ranch Dually Super Douche to do some yard work? its still a Full Size Truck dot dot dot (awkward)
BiG Dee I was only kidding 😂just saying that the truck is soooo torquey that 4 low is almost unnecessary if I lock the rear diff and use 4 high mine would easily pull a stump or crawl up damn near anything I can put in front of it 👍
Probably my favorite truck out there!
I have an ecoboost quad cab same color but have friends that have raptors and the ones that are die hard off roaders actually up graded the shocks.
Honestly, I don't have a problem with the truck, but it seems like everyone I've met that happens to drive a raptor, is just a complete asshole. They try to act like they're better then everyone else on the road. Hope this isn't the case for everyone one that has also met a raptor owner or owns one.
HazardWolfGaming sorry to hear that - don't know where you are located, but you will find the most amazing gentlemen and ladies - all raptor owners - at facebook.com/groups/MidAtlanticFordRaptorAssociation/
Supratim Sanyal I'm in Southern California. I guess I could've just said that everyone drives and acts like an asshole 😅
Also from SoCal and totally agree...raptor drivers here are not chill, I also think most of these raptors have never even come within 50 miles of actual dirt.
Yeah in Australia if I see a raptor (really rare so I get happy) the driver is a bit of a douche. I think its like the mentality that they've got a big truck and I mean, I'd move out of the way I I was in an mx5 lol. Or it could be compensation...
Nah jks
HazardWolfGaming lol sounds like you are butthurt
Stopped watching when launched in 4low.... He doesn't know much about trucks....
Yes, I love trucks and the color on this Raptor is beautiful!
nicely filmed and edited!
Dude after that 4wd low launch on payment.. Unsubscribed. GL with channel but that was amateur hour and too many other channels out there.
Lol leave dumbass we dont need people like you who "unsubscribe" for a launch on pavement ! haha! See ya ✌🏼
Not like he is in your car.
Oh no the channel lost 1 subscriber!! Like anyone gives a flying fuck dude grow up.
sweeeptheleg get the fuck outta here!!!!!
+matt1315s You miss the point. That was completely stupid to do that in any 4x4 mode. Toasted axle and transfer case for sure. He won't have to deal with it though. Someone like me who buys it 10 years later will be the one to fix it.
you should NOT be reviewing trucks! you know NOTHING about them! 4x4hi is for snow, the 4x4lo is for offroad. you obviously HATE that transfercase if you're launching in 4x4lo... leave the 4x4 trucks to the guy that actually know what the hell they are talking about...
uhm 4x4 hi can be used in dirt snow mud or anything 4x4lo is for crawling out of sand and from being stock and rock crawling
Awesome review! I am about to retire my '02 yukon denali... thinking of getting a sierra but leaning towards a raptor now :)
By far my favorite truck in production today
Great refreshing review
That looks like beauty.Cool
Dave you missed quite a few things. If you PULL that 2-Hi 4-Hi 4-Low you get into diff lock from 4-Low - really helpful because in diff-lock your free wheel will not spinning with the stuck wheel stuck - power will get the stuck wheel unstuck as well. Also there is FRONT CAMERA that comes on if you engage the OFF-ROAD MODE (round button) in 4-Low. The other round button does a super-impressive job of getting you down a VERY steep hill (the front camera comes in really useful). At the minimum, you should have tried these too.
I agree about the raptor making an impact on the car world, I have never been into trucks but the raptor is an awesome beast
In three more years when Im done with my home morgage Im planning on getting another truck and Ive seen the 2017 Ford Raptor but like the 2015/2016 Model so getting one of those models instead like them more.I liked this video alot so I can know what to expect on the truck I decide to get.
Sweet truck!!! The raptor is my favorite of the sport 4x4 trucks.. I'd love one :)
Its a shame how people say they've had trouble with ford trucks. I love these trucks and they've never given me a problem! Hope the Ranger makes its come back soon!
My friend's parents have a roush raptor phase 2 and it's no slouch i love it and its loud
I'd love one of these or a Wrangler as my secondary vehicle... so badass
My old man just bought a Raptor last year and it's awesome.
awesome review
I have to have 1 of those
I've heard that the shocks are rough, and the seats have minor support which in turn causes back issues. One of the guys at work has the Raptor and is searching for more comfortable seats because of this.
I want one of these soooo bad!! there's no other truck that's like it for real
A Very enjoyable truck that kick butt I really like driving my own Raptor I have a custom 595 horsepower with a supercharger very fast and super powered.
Honestly, your channel is by FAR the best I've found so far. I'm religiously checking it. Got all my peeps to subscribe as well. Just over a hundred or so. Quick question, whats the shirt with the shifter, wheel, and pedals called? I want one soooo bad, but can't seem to find it. Appreciate your help if u can. U stay golden pony boy!!! #Smurf4Prez
Theres a guy who live by me here in uk with a raptor and oh my the roar from that v8 is loud af
Nice! I have one too, and it almost looks like a mirror image of that one, but mine has suicide doors and red and black interior
