Good honest review..... Thanks for sharing

I have a raptor and get 10-12 mpg and 15 if I’m trying to get really good gas mileage

The 4Auto in the Ford and GMC act as an AWD system. So it stays in 2wd until it slips and engages the front wheels that are needed. My 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 has it and that’s what it tells you is AWD not 4Auto. And the sound isn’t technically faked, it takes the engine noise and amplifies it so you can hear it that’s why it doesn’t change it’s the same noise.

You got a 15% boost in mileage while getting 39hp and 76tq. Sounds like a good trade off for the V8 to me.

Tommy and Roman, it is a sheer Performance Truck, you can't us it as a grocery getter, and expect to get awesome fuel milage.

So much hate in the comments on the raptor. Personally, I’m part of the generation that is moving away from the v8. I don’t care for it. This v6 is more power than you need and makes it worth the purchase. I know you v8 oldies like the ideal v8s hold and more power to you. I just like the fun I can have in one and the capabilities that it has. It drove the TRX to become the beast it wanted to be so hand the raptor some love damn

I like the Raptor, always did. I don't know why most people didn't liked the color, I think its awsome. The sticker can be removed, to make it more subtle. It does need a big V8 and super/turbo-charged if they want to stay competitive with the TRX. It would drive me crazy if I would have to listen to the artificial sound below my music and can't be turned off. Can't stand the popup tent you guys put on the bed. There are nice tonneau covers even hard ones (steal protection) that roll out of the way for bikes, etc.

I don't know what you mean by most, but GMs system operates the same way. You are correct in how it operates though.

If there was any way that the exhaust could be made to sound like a Detroit Diesel 6V71, that would be amaaazzing. Hey, don't feel ostentatious Roman because everyone who sees a Raptor secretly wishes they were driving it.

I have an ‘18 and have very similar likes and dislikes. The ride does get more Caddy like when you have four adults or lots of cargo. The mileage is not so good and that it is really not a truck for loading with lumber or towing anything over 4000#s , so this is why I am keeping my ‘98 F250 Supercab 4x4. It loads up a ton + and tows 9000#s. It is a real truck with that great 5.4 Triton V8.

That's a beautiful area you guys live in. Totally envy you!

I LOVE my raptor, but the 2 things I do hate, exhaust note, and just how big it is. The power from the ecoboost, especially tuned, is amazing though

I have been on a few trails where it states if your rig is wider than "x" inches you can't do the trail. The Raptor and TRX are super wide. I do love the Raptor. I do like Romans views at the ends of the video.

You're getting better mpgs than my 2014 Ecoboost. I average 14. Sad the sync system is still having issues. They've had a lot of years and versions to get it right.

It's amazing how Tommy and Roman nitpick on the "hate" part about this truck but I bet if it had a Land Rover sticker on the front of it they would have nothing but good things to say about it even if it broke down!

We all get it for what it is. An ultimate off-road machine that looks the better than any other truck and also holds its value. What more can you ask for?

I have the Race Red one, and it was sitting at a dealer for quite some time. It took me a bit of time to warm up to it, but cannot picture driving any other color. I never see other Race Red Raptors, and the grey, gunmetal, black and white ones are just boring.

This might me a dumb question... is there any difference between putting a truck into a weather mode (snow/rain) or dialing the shifter to 4H? Own an 18 raptor, and I still cant tell the difference.

I still really want a snow tire vs aired down aggressive tire I'm running hybrid tires and they seemed to be great aired down

I run dedicated studded snow tires on my F150 in the winter and nothing beats them...period. In my opinion and experience, if one doesn't want to buy actual snow tires, the Goodyear Duratracs are impressive in snow and ice, much better than BFG's, especially if you stud them.

Severe snow rated all terrain all weather tires are still not as good as dedicated winter tires. I think they are good enough and not worth the effort to change tires unless in climate like Alaska. The interior needs to be updated badly. I assume it will be updated like the new F150.

Augmented exhaust noise should be standard on ALL trucks. That way when they come blaring by my home at 5am or on a quiet afternoon at least they are getting a good dose of what they are giving.

Good video - agree that the exhaust sound is terrible, especially inside the cabin. And the cheaply designed interior doesn’t help either. I get that a lot of guys who have been buying these things don’t care about interior quality or aesthetics, but for the money being spent, Ford needs to put some effort into competing with FCA interior-wise, imho.

I hate fake engine noise in the cabin, my Lexus LS500 is the same, twin turbo V6. A definite downside of stupid engineers or marketing folks.

@@2011blueman Yeah I know what it is, I just wish the manufacturers would do what Dodge has done and say, "Nah, not worth the savings" and simply refuse to do it. I mean, they're not really *required* to do it, they just pay more tax if they don't (which gets passed on to the customer, which I would prefer over having a small-displacement, turbo-charged engine).

Would you buy it again? I’m thinking about trading my Trail Boss for 2020 Raptor with about 16k miles. Just wondering if you liked yours enough to recommend buying it.

The only thing i think your off base on is that Trucks arent made to be Showing off money. But if you look at the average price of a pickup is much higher than a car and Suv. If you can afford a new pickup you prolly can afford the a really nice luxury car. If i see someone in a New Pickup thats not a base WT model i know they paid over 30k for it and prolly more like 40 to 50 for it. TRucks have gotten so overpriced its insane.

I wonder if the 2022 Raptor will have the grill and headlight style of a 2018 F150 since the 2020 has the style of 2017. That is the number 1 thing I'd hate about the Raptor.

It'd definitely look better than the '21 front end lol

I hate the fact I can not control the steering, suspension and transmission to my preference. I would like a button for each function, so I can get my custom setup. think there are 4 different thing changed when changing drive mode. I also hate the fact that I can not unlock the back door by garbing the handle, but have to touch the front door before I can drop my backpack on the back seat.

I love how father and son get to work together! My son and I have a channel called 3x7 outdoor. It’s a hobby grade r/c channel. Happy new year Roman and Tommy!

One thing I hate the most is no parking sensors on the front bumper.
