Incase y'all are new around here, I placed an order for a 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R back in September of 2023 and just a couple days ago, it finally arrived! I'm beyond excited so I figured I'd share and kick up some uploads. I know I talked about the price & ordering process a lot in this video, but just based off what I've already been getting on Instagram, I figured I'd address some things here. Everyone likes to pretend they're my financial advisor when they're behind a phone or keyboard. Anyways, here's the breakdown: 0:00 - Intro 3:54 - Ordering Process & Price 16:01 - Impressions 23:49 - Quick Drive 27:15 - Wrapping It Up Things I added to my truck already: Short Antenna: amzn.to/3U5qwua Carbon fiber license plate frame: amzn.to/3vzAzyj Carbon fiber key fob cover: amzn.to/3VRKUjE RIGID lights amber covers: amzn.to/3VPSdsm Oh and I realized I never discussed the actual MSRP on video. This was $113,770 as configured. Much more content coming soon, thanks for watching!

I would get a Raptor (non-R) if it could last past 1 million miles. Unfortunately, I don't think it can. The phrase "you get what you paid for" don't always apply to vehicles.

Well it fits in the garage! Lol! Looks great Brandon!

Im glad for you that it all worked out. We talked about it and I was sketched about you selling the gen 1 and this one falling through, good to see it work out for ya.

This is really informative! Thanks for taking the time to walk through the ordering process and the markup! Beautiful build on your R!

Now that is a NICE lineup! GT500 and Raptor R ❤. WANT!

Congratz on your Team Rocket Ford Raptor!

I work right by the rail yard in San Antonio i may have seen your truck being transported on a trailer past my office. Congrats on the Raptor R probably the coolest truck in production right now.

In the words of Mr Burns - Excellent

absolute beatiful machine! congratulations!

bro you’ve had a beast collection over the years🔥

That color is 🔥🔥🔥

The color is BEAUTIFUL!! I love my Rapid Red but would be just as happy with that green.

Love that colour wow!

Your Raptor R is awesome brother! I got a 2023 Raptor 35 back in October and I love it.

Great video, can't wait to see more of this awesome truck. I'm super curious what your impressions would be of a bronco raptor...

Congratulations in the purchase, you got the best truck

But not the most reliable.

Heads up from a raptor owner who parks in the garage with the same amount of space. Continue to back in like you do. If you ever go front end first hopefully you don’t ever make the mistake of dropping the tailgate on accident. I did and then opened my garage and got a nice scratch through the paint. Nice truck brotha!

Very nice. Congrats!

What a sick looking truck 💪🔥

This is my dream garage setup, nice vehicles!

Amazing truck , congrats mate

Beautiful truck! Congratulations! Cheers from Leander

A set of bronze Method 304s would look SO good on that color! Other than wheels and maybe exhaust it’s the perfect truck!

Finally an honest KZreadr. ALL the others are lying saying they didnt pay over MSRP I automatically stop watching. EVERYONE is paying over MSRP this is legendary vehicle. Congrats man looks sick!

I'm from the Middle East and I would definitely go with the Raptor R over the Land Cruiser GR as it outweighs the LC in terms of features and power. Hopefully one day...NICE TRUCK MAN!!

You did good with the R, congrats!

Fuck yeah new video. She looks good honestly was worried it wouldn’t live up to how cool ur gen 1 was but it looks just as good.

My envy is showing in my green face. What a truck! The only thing I would have spec'd differently is no sun roof and no graphics (or the very minimum you can get). That's a 12 year truck at least. Congrats.

jealous. you got it going on brotha good for you! 2 stangs, a brand new raptor R, and a raptor ranger on the way...... im a huge ford guy, grew up in f150s, own a 2022 f150 myself, this is GOALS bro. totally agree that the 24s look better in person than we all thought from the pics

Man, that color is insane. Looks completely black sometimes, then green, then yellow/gold, then green and gold! I really like Black on a raptor but I don’t know if it’s a good move or if it takes too much detail away. Sick truck bro.

Love the truck !

Congratulations! I think $5K is a great deal given the demand for these. I would never pay $10K, $20K, $50K over MSRP...but $5K to have this truck is definitely worth it.

You can't say something is a great deal if you pay markup. We need to push dealers to go below MSRP and stop giving money away for free. This truck is overpriced event at MSRP and remember this was a CUSTOM order with a long waiting time. This truck was supposed to be his in the first place and dealership had no right to ask extra money for this (if not legal, then ethical for sure). You ordered something at some price, why did it change? $5,000 is still a lot of money in this country, so stop acting like it isn't.

dam you got it all bud! house with all the toys in the garage. congrats!!

I love the green and new front end and lights. I have a black 2023 Raptor.

Enjoyed this video. Love that truck and the color. I agree with your decision on the graphics. The rear “R” further distinguishes the truck, but the front graphics tend to distract, especially in bright light (like your garage lights). Also like that you are going to enjoy it and not treat it as a museum piece. Please post more videos with your new Raptor.

Mine has arrived and I placed my order in the end of 22

Great looking Raptor. FYI, I have the yellow amber lens covers too. But switched to the amber pro color lens cover. They are a darker amber and match the marker lights perfectly.

do vlogs you have my dreamlife, everytime i get tired i will just watch your videos to remind me why im working hard in life

Very Nice!

Impressive collection..

Congrats on the new truck man, the only things I’m not fan is the head lights and tail lights on new one

I really like the color ! I’ve got avalanche grey R . It’s my 3rd Raptor & can’t imagine it getting better . Traded in my 18’ Raptor & GT500 in for it . I’m really missing GT500 & need stall buddy

Nasty garage line up bro.

Such a good looking truck. 🥵

I currently own a Bronco. This is the only truck that could get me to sell my Bronco. Unfortunately I cant afford to finance for both at once so the saving has definitely started. Have fun with yours!

Let’s see the motor man!

Great video and info. I ordered in Sept 23 and still waiting with no VIN yet...

Good on you for paying cash, you killed it. Awesome color, beautiful truck. I have the 22 Lariat, and i love the look of that. But ive seen these in person and they are definitely growers! You need a ceramic tint though 👍🏻

Try remote starting again 2 time in a row, when you lock unlock it’ll start, when you lock unlock a second time, rpm will rev

Informative video. Thanks a lot! Truck looks sick. I am a fan of the new color and never had a raptor, but heavily considering a 24. The one dilemma in my head is 35 vs 37. I love 37. But sensible option for me is 35, but then again the truck isn’t most sensible, so may just go 37 lol.

Has mine in the shop now Stealth PPF and ceramic. The only mod I will be doing is upgrading the stereo system.

I’m planning on fixing my garage too, at least I can fit 2 trucks 😅 what type of lights are those on your garage?

Livin' the dream my man congrats. If you don't mind how much did you sell your gen 1 raptor for? I seen it was listed through one of the raptor fb groups.

Would you mind explaining the left gauge reading while you are driving. When you are at 50mph the left gauge reads 8 and blue line shows 1.5 RPM. What are these. I was afraid I was in manual and truck was skipping RPM or gear but I’m in normal mode.

Bro you have a nice collection.. what you do for a living??

Am I the only one who think 2023 model looks much much better ? .. I will buy Raptor R and definitely I will go with 2023 model.

Love the 23, was kinda so,so on the 24. Than I saw one in person and its awesome. The green on this truck looks nice, I have seen it on the Bronco Raptor a week ago. Im keeping my 17 supercab Raptor though. I would love to have this guys income, two mustangs and a Raptor R.

Nice! That luxuriously, smooth drive of your 2024 Raptor R, do you think the regular 2024 Raptor, 35 and 37, would drive as well, as smoothly, on highways and such? I just can't do that low average mpg. And could this use a little bit of a level, and if so, how much? Tough to see that in the vid.

Yes, the eco-boost versions are just as smooth on road

Make sure you turn on your brake hold so you don't have to hold the brake at lights!

Furthermore would it be possible for someone to give full detail of the display and gauge readings.

The Raptor is beautiful, I’m a Red guy, but green look great!

I love the shelter green. I have it on my Ranger Raptor (baby raptor) and it really looks better in person and in the sun..

Hey, i bought my raptor at Mac in Georgetown. I live in the area, you going to Texas Raptor run in june?

Could be a chip shortage thing for the auto start stop delete

24:00 It is hard to explain how the Gen3 feels to anyone who hasn’t driven it. It ‘breaks the laws of physics’ is what I tell people. It is CRAZY comfortable on-road cruising at 50 or 80. it is PLANTED. We have a house in the mountains and the drive up is very twisty. The truck is willing to go WAY harder than I have pushed it and I have PUSHED it.. grew up around racing and familiar with ‘grip’. Off-road it is cheat code.. it’s only real weakness is its size.. length and width. I have had to pick which side was possibly going to get scratched up at times.. it’s so wide. Also, living in LA.. I can’t go in 90% of the parking decks. I have owned a LOT of vehicles and my Raptor 37 is my favorite and it isn’t close. Congrats!

My gen 2 Raptor had the auto start stop that I had to press every time. My 2023 gen 3 (v6 unfortunately) does not have the auto start stop thank god

I can’t recall, did you have a supercharger on your gen 1, or just the exhaust and mid-travel kit? I recently picked up a 2013 Roush Raptor and I feel like it’s 80% of the truck for 25% of the money compared to the new R’s. Congrats though, the color looks so sick!

With no more Ram version great news for Ford and presumably support for this vehicle which started out amazing then had some major Gen 2 issues.

The slow walk to peek the 350 had me nervous for a sec.

How does the speaker system sound? I drove a 23' Raptor 37 package and the speakers were not very impressive. I heard they updated it for 2024. What is your opinion? Thanks!

I wish I could buy one of those, sadly they aren't available in Australia.

I don’t like spray in bed liners.. right now just using BedRug liner. Just the bottom. Cheap and soft. I can sleep on if needed.

Damn, still over MSRP where you're at? In Arizona, you can find Raptors and Raptor Rs left and right going for MSRP or below. I have an order in for a 2024 Raptor 37 that's arriving next month and have an agreed upon MSRP pricing.

Beautiful truck. The R is awesome but just more than I need. My 2022 Raptor 37 gets 12 mpg.. with an R I’m likely under 10. Also, we have a place at 5,300’ and the R would lose 100 HP while my turbo loses minimal HP. One tip.. 38 lbs all around in tires will lead to coning. I am 36 front 32 rear at 70° and no weight in bed. That’s from a Raptor experience person. May go heavier in front with that heavier V8. My KO2s aren’t going to make it 3 winters.. likely less than 25K.

I would love to own a Raptor R.
