As a 3rd gen tacoma owner I should not get behind the wheel of a ranger raptor. My truck is on 33's and I mob around that thing like its a hellcat. The ranger raptor looks like trouble to me. And the things I'd get myself into with this truck! Ford really got this one right. What a fun little truck.

love this truck, in the process of editing my review and i couldnt get over the way this thing sounds!! ford is doing a great job right now. cant wait to see more on this from you

Just drove my brother's it was bad ass! Surprisingly good amount of space in the backseat. Sat behind my brother who is 6'1 and I'm 5' 10" had a few inches of legroom.

Really love your new truck. Congrats on the new baby...I'm glad everyone is healthy and happy!

4auto really works in the wet. I have a F-150 Raptor and 4A hooks up for traction and steering still feels really good

Incredible and impressive video as always! Over the last years I learned to push my cars to their limits because of you Mr. Topher, being comfortable and knowing your cars limits is truly skill, and I learned it all from you! Thank you!

Looks like a great little truck. Thanks Topher.

Just secured an allocation for one in shelter green. Build starts in July and have been waiting for this video! Very exciting

Fun video, man. And congrats on the baby!

Congrats on your new baby!

good afternoon topher! and congrats on the baby!

That looks like my kind of fun: extravagant power in a relatively small, practical package. This is nothing like my 1999 V6 Ranger, haha. I'm looking forward to following your experience. Thanks for the ride, Chris, and congrats on the new kid.

For the price, I’d take the Raptor over the Tacoma TRD Pro any day.

Very cool. Thanks for taking us on the drive. The comparison amongst the top offerings from GM, Ford, and Toyota is going to be one of the best vehicle comparisons we’ve had in a while. Thanks again! (edit) And of course congrats on the new little guy!

nice ride! And congratz!!

Love that Ford can still make exciting cars. I'm really enjoying the content on the Raptor and Tacoma!

Raptor looks sick! Congrats on the newborn!

I just picked up my first American car ever. Bronco badlands + Sasquatch and I love it. The 2.7 engine is awesome.

as a Dad in SE Michigan with young kids like you who ALSO has a Ranger Raptor on delivery, I appreciate this.

I've had that tonneau cover for 8 years on a F250. They keep changing the name through the years but it still works great.

First and most important of all, congrats to you and the family on the new arrival. So happy for all of you. Great review. Love seeing how much you’re enjoying this ride. Glad you didn’t go with a BakFlip tonneau cover, as I did a review on how bad mine has been. Really thinking of getting this vehicle although I don’t think I’m quite ready to give up my ‘15 F-150 Platinum with the 5.0 just yet. I’m scared I would really miss the limo-like interior room I have now. Looking forward to more reviews, especially when you go to Silver Lake. Thanks again.

Gotta say as an Aussie that accent was one of the better ones I’ve heard 😂

Congrats on the baby & glad u are enjoying the raptor. I got one in the same color too

I've ran BFG AT's on my trucks for decades. I've always hated the wet performance and over the last couple years I've been doing more highway driving than ever so I looked for something else. Been on Nitto Exo Grapplers (3/4 tonne Dodge Cummins) and I really like them. They were very good in the snow, and blow the BFGs away in wet performance especially standing water.

I really liked this comprehensive, real world review and critique. This goes great with Doug Demuro's review.

Can’t afford this unfortunately, but the Ranger Raptor is my dream truck.

Great video! I'd suggest closing the tailgate before latching down the bed cover, you'll get a better seal with the rubber flap over the tailgate.

Interior looks so good 👌

congrats on the little one! and the mountain biking. LOL

I want one so bad!! Congratulations, enjoy the truck bro!

You almost got me with the title Chris I thought your raptor was broken in you know like vandalism lol 😆 also congrats on your second child bro 👏

Seems like the perfect modern truck as long as reliability is sound

I have the Herrod power upgrade for my Ranger Raptor and it goes really well. I thought it was great stock, but after the upgrade it is something else entirely. A pleasure to drive.

Nice Speedmaster, dude...oh and the trucks pretty cool too.

Mine isn't, but if you offroad yours, my rear suspension sensor popped out at 212 miles disabling all modes....if you drive it properly yours will too! :)

Love the color of your raptor! We don't have that color in our local ranger raptor model here in the Philippines. I think that's way better than the conquer grey color.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac if you want a long lasting A/T tire that’s also capable off-road. I run them on my TJ and they’re in my opinion pretty quiet (for all terrains) and I’ve gotten 70,000km out of them so far and some people have had theirs last uptoward 80-90,000km. Crazy good tire.

Bro has entered his truck guy phase.

Now I want one!

Congrats to your baby number 2!!

Misread the title at first and started watching with the thought of oh no is this another tedward and his lexus situation.

Hey The Topher , I was wondering if u could do a POV drive review a B8/B8.5 S4 with the supercharged V6 sound ! Love your vids as always

I am more into the fact that it has front lockers. As one that enjoys off-roading, the rear locker is awesome to switch to but game changer when engaging the front locker.

Love that Ranger Raptor....possibility for me. Have a paid off 2014 F150 STX right now. Congrats on Baby Boy #2!!!

Good sized an everyday use truck. Need one too. Great vid

I feel like the tires were chosen specifically for their off road performance and their on road gr86/brz characteristic. It blends on/off road handling so you get to know the truck and can predict its moves more regardless of surface. Just a thought. Ford dumped a lot of resources into the raptor engineering, and id like to hear their thoughts on tire chioce for the Ranger Raptor.

I had that Trxedo cover on my Tacoma... loved the cover.

“The front mud flaps are for myself. The rears are for everyone else. So eat my rocks”.

I can honestly say I would rather have the open country instead of these K03's I've went sideways twice in the rain Off road the ko3s were great

lol also dad of two phase, congrats man.

I hope the Ranger Raptor continues to trounce the Tacoma TRD Pro as it is becoming increasingly clear Toyota got too greedy with their assembled in Mexico Tacoma. There is no reason the vehicle was designed with such a small backseat and priced like a Lexus.

Topher is working needing new tires sooner than later! 😂. That's one way to get rid of those K03's!

Very nice, I'm assuming the wipers aren't speed sensing ? My 08 GTI had it and in down pours it was a nice feature.

The Ranger seems it has more room in the rear compared to other mid-size trucks.

Looks like you were having a blast…when the Bronco first came out, a few people were running 4 auto all the time on dry pavement and burned up the clutch pack in the transfer case. Do you know if ford fixed this?

Love the truck! I have a blue one. Where did you get your net for it? Thanks!

I like that truck I just can’t get over the body style

Any idea if the tow rating can be increased? Maybe with rear overloads?

I recommend Toyo Open Country ATs for tires. I had them on my F150 and 22 Ranger FX4. If I don't like the Ko3s, that's what I'm replacing it with.

honestly I would love to own one of these. Only trouble is in the UK if you had anything in the back people are going to help themselves to whatever it is you have in there

Hey my man, how's your fuel in Australian measurements?

@TheTopher Maybe you can answer me this question since I'm not a truck guy, but why aren't people asking for something just like a pickup truck but with a built in hard body cover...so namely a van? All this tinkering to secure an open truckbed that no one is filling with anything that exceeds the height of the cabin kinda blows my mind. A 4WD van with tall cabin and removable seats would be the ultimate answer to every flaw in a pickup truck (except maybe for 5th wheel applications). Family shuttle, work vehicle, towing capacity, offroad. It's like they could kill a couple of their other categories and just make certain things like bed length, height, engine and interior fitments modular and focus on quality. Heck, they could even utilize the cabin frame as a platform for a crane to lift engine blocks or whole pallets in for deliveries they could unload themselves. Unless you really wanna toss a shovel in slo-mo into your truck bed like the commercials show....about the only reason I could imagine you'd want an open-top truck bed. Giggity.

Please give me your opinion on why you bought the raptor versus a Trd pro for the bison? I prefer the raptor I think, but I have not driven any of them and I am currently searching.

Just saw a 2025 raptor ranger on rotunda dr and southfield fwy in dearborn, mi and it had the sun roof option available i also saw a maverick lariat with everything loaded and it had the new bigger horizontal screen thats in the new ford escape

Need to take it on some trails. That fox suspension is built for it
