- Well everyone here it is we have had the 2023 Ford Raptor for a few weeks now and I have found a few things I really like and a few things I think can be worked on on this incredible Beast of a truck.
So come along for my 3 likes and 3 dislikes about the 2023 Ford Raptor with the 3.5l twin turbo v6.
Enjoy...

I have a 37 package 2021 and I can verify that the Recaro's are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in in my life!
I agree !
Love the truck hate the shifter. The ones they made in 2018-2021 looked awesome very solid. The ones today that fold down are all plastic. Great video bro.
The loved the carbon fiber shifter in my gen2
I strongly agree, what dipshit at Ford thought it was a good idea to put in some garbage plastic shifter. Only reason I won’t buy the truck.
Agree 💯. Just traded my 2018 Platinum in for a 2023 Raptor. Awesome truck…but def hate the shifter. Loved the pistol grip shifter from my Platinum!
@Pilot545 Me too! I just sold my 2018 F250 had it for one year.
I have 40 years Experience in Paint & Body . The left front door on your Raptor simply needs the striker adjusted in slightly to pull your door in . At the same time will fix the air leak sound . It’s a 5 min fix . I am still laughing at the thought of Ford replacing your door for this tiny adjustment ! 14:48
The adaptive headlights are the best thing to the automotive industry in years ! We have it on our new SUV as well
Super cool I have to see that thing sometime too
My 2007 Lexus IS 350 had adaptive headlights and cooled seats. It's nice for sure
Great video! love your vinyl work with the lettering front and back. :)
Definitely gonna look into that for mine .. thanks !
Looks beautiful brother! I have a 2014 Gen 1 Raptor that I do videos about on my page. I wish I had that automatic tailgate on my truck that’s a nice feature!
Keep that Hammerdown!
I love my 22 Raptor! Did have to get the front bumper straightened. Waiting for my R now.
Be careful the new R’s are having massive oil leaks and tranny issues. Hopefully resolved by when you get yours.
@@BigMikeRobinsonFJB Yea, I'm hoping the delays are them resolving it.
The standard Revolver covers are notorious for dents in them from acorns or hail- the standard trifold ones. The cover you have looks like it would be better for small dents
These are not necessarily problems. I was hoping to see common problems that occur with the Raptor. How is the reliability of the V6 engine, gearbox? Why exactly do people complain most often when they take their cars in for service?
Love my '23 Raptor. Only things wrong with mine has been the auto wipers didn't work from factory & it needed an alignment. 5k mark engine is broken in. I also did my first oil change around then. EPG will improve around there, I am at 15-16 avg, but hoolin it 13😂.
Hmmmm... Ill need to check mine.... I noticed yesterday when it was raining they weren't coming on. I thought maybe they didn't come with auto sensing and just ran em manual... Is there a setting you need to have them on for auto sensing?
you have to double press the tailgate button on the gen 3, so that's why you had to press it twice.
My 2023 Raptor has the same exact door panel transition. The bottom of the doors align perfect. The very top of the door aligns perfect. However the area just below the window, where you pointed to, the front door is about 1mm further out. Not bad enough for me to have it messed with. Body panels aren’t as good as my Lexus, but better than my friend’s Tesla.
they were able to fix it at the body shop
Love the lighting, size, grille
Dislike the wheels that’s about it. I like the ford headlock wheels.
But still an amazing truck
I was going to tint my sunroof on my 2018 raptor. Multiple shops said not to do it because it can effect it's ability to shed the sunlight heat. Ultimately the glass could fail. Just passing on some info. I learned. Let us know if you end up having any issues. Thanks for the video!
Yeah I’ve done others my super duty has had it for 2 years no issues
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Good to know. Much appreciated.
I have the exact same color combo as yours I love this truck definitely needs power running boards. I bought the rough country need to get them installed.
You will get really nasty rock chips if your raptor ever touches dirt without the oem running boards
I like mine being ford dark tbh looks better imo. but yours looks pretty good
I've had two recalls for my 22 raptor. Went to the dealer and they did a 10,000mile service costing over 500$$
dang like a Porsche oil change
It sounds like a chevy lumina back in the early 90s.
Where did you get the vinyl work?
Also the tonneau cover?
I do like my 22 raptor. Only thing I don't like is the step rails I think are on backwards.if you look at the cut outs they don't match up
I have the same Exact problem regarding the drivers door on my FORD RAPTOR 2023 37"
Really would love a raptor but worry about reliability for such an expensive truck. Which do you prefer this raptor or the ram rebel? I know totally different
Source for the FORD letter white vinyl? Thanks.
no one complains about the ride being too stiff? Gen 2 has a much more comfortable suspension with leaf springs.
The Raptor 37 is too sporty, there is not much left of the old gen 2 nice spring. Have to sell my gen 3 and keep the gen 2.
I just watched your video I do believe if you adjust your Stryker on your door that will fix your issue with the wind noise and the door sticking out. You'll be surprised how dumb the dealerships are that they wouldn't figure that out. Also your lights coming on every time you get next to it you will wear your battery out if you're walking by a lot you can shut that option off.
I am very glad my 23 R didn't happen. You got a good one overall many was ripped into at the dealers to correct issues. Plus the 24's look better.
I went and watched my Raptor get built...after production they have a team looking at the alignment of the doors and all the seams to make sure they line up correctly and actually fix any mis alignment on the spot...pretty cool...but it looks like they missed yours...they will fix this issue if you ask them to.
Yeah Sucks but I have an appointment to get it looked at soon hope they can fix it
Hi Hammerdown could u tell me what's the brand of ur softcover and where can i purchase by any chance thank u love ur video😊
Any update ?@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA
@@mr.7soon.x705 dealer had a body shop align the door
A simple striker plate adjustment will do the trick
Got my 23 raptor a month ago and is already getting the tailgate motor replace lol . Went bad in a month
Maybe just a faulty motor and not a sign of more things to come.. Beautiful trucks!
Where did you get those front ford decals
Nice truck, what happens with the RAM?
What % tint did you do on the front windows and the back windows? Like the look of the truck!
18 all around and over the factory rears
Thanks for replying! Love the channel!
Yea that shifter is the thing that stood out to me when I drove one. It is really bad quality compared to everything else, and all for a useless feature.
I can only figure one use for it, but it's not the same one ford promotes it for lol
I just bought a 2023 can you please provide a specific link for the grille and tailgate vinyl. The link in the description for EBay not coming up?
Yeah eBay sucks like that check out premium auto styling
How’s the long drive comfort ?
Ride ? Quiet ? Db at 65 ? wtf No Heated wheel ?
Is the steering wheel heat ready and jist need the option installed like the switch? Same wheel as the heated ones. That sucks. One og my fav and nessity items
Luckily mine has the heated steering wheel. Heard a lot of raptors didn’t which is strange for 2023
The vinyl decals you did look great. Did you make them yourself or did you buy them?
Thanks I ordered them online premium auto styling
Appreciate it! Just bought the same truck today
@@rudyhernandez9091 congratulations they are awesome
Any experience with Diamondback to compare to Bakflip?
I have not had any experience with those but I would be interested in trying one on my super duty
For the price there should be no problems lol
Where are the decal graphics from? @hammerdownmotorsports
Premium autostyling
I heard this truck shuts down, loses 4x4 and driver mode when going through water. If the water reaches your front bumper, the problems listed above can happen
Not sure never had any issues thus far
The heated steering wheel option is industry wide. Please correct if I am wrong, but I read this is all manufacturers. Sorry about the door, that would bug the crap out of me. Anyone have a great recommendation on extra lights?
Yeah they fixed the door already I’ll just drive my Rebel if I need the heated wheel I guess lol
Glad I didn’t have the heated steering wheel issue.
You also don’t have a front torsen differential 😢.
I’m grateful for my 22 lol
My truck had the same issue with the door, i loosened up the door striker and moved it inwards a smidge.. problem solved.
Yeah they took it to a body shop it’s all sorted now
The problem is I gap these with my 2017 3.5 ecoboost Lariat… for all that money that should not be the case AT ALL…
But can the Lariat Baja? Lol yeah they could be faster I agree
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA You got me there…I tried to jump it once (little baby jump) and did not end well… lol
It was a chip shortage for 23. The 24's will have them
Hopefully even the R had it missing
The problem is they cost toooo much
Let me know what dealership you take it to.
Ford took off the heated steering wheel and Advanced security system off the trucks cause it’s was causing issues with the truck. Dang you only get 13mpg I get 18mpg in my raptor and only have 300+ miles on it
yeah I'm a hooligan with it
No steering wheel heat or auto start stop due to chip shortage.
I just looked at a 2022 raptor with 11,000 miles on it the dealerships asking 83,000 good deal?
I just bought a 2022 Raptor w/ 23k miles for 80K. I think that’s a good deal. My truck was listed for 87K and I got them down to 80. Hope this helps!
@@Matt-zn4zp thanks Matt! I currently on a 2018 raptor just about to turn 40,000 miles. Hoping for a good trade if I go for it.
@@dancellana6002They will probably give you 50k for it. I just picked up a 2018 with 42000 miles for 56k
Is the raptor worth the money 💰 you pay for it!?
I do really like it
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA thanks I'm looking see, if I get it but I want a reliable truck to keep for a while and I do love the 2024 raptor R. And again thanks for replying back 👍🏼
Gotta love FORD's junky plastic interior that is in literally every F series trim level. Their cheap leather seats wear out after 30,000 miles too. RAM has really surpassed these guys on interiors.
Fords cost cutting is really showing in the new trucks.
90% of this video was about Aesthetics.
They shouldnt need to paint to match a white door. Not metalic
Trucks nowadays are way overpriced
Seems pretty gay . We all know Ford manufacturers the F-150.
Truck is perfect; you are just complaining too much bs brother; sell it and get another brand, that’s it
