I had a 40’ Raptor that came out in 2008 and was a brand new floor plan at that time. Had numerous issues. Most of the problems were fixed under warranty but required extensive work, including removing one of the slides and rebuilding a section of wall around the bathroom. There were 3 linoleum floors that had to be replaced due to the crappy build quality and after the third replacement, Keystone refused any further replacements of the flooring. I contacted Keystone directly to insist on an extended warranty due to all the issues but was shut down immediately. They refused to stand behind the factory warranty and refused to extend the warranty after all of the issues we’d had. I’m sure the Raptor has come a long way since 2008 but I’ll never purchase another Keystone product. Do your research on this product and company because your stuck once you buy.
First Toy Hauler I've seen that I actually like. Thanks for sharing JD awesome Toy Hauler.
Nice to see Keystone adding solar. A must have if you're boon docking!
Got to agree with you. That is the best toy hauler layout I have seen to date. Thank you for the great video.
Saw your segment on KYD’s channel when they selected their new 450. Really enjoyed the cross channel advice with them. It was a great segment from the most knowledgeable truck guy. Again always great perspectives JD.
You do a great job covering all the features. I have a 36 ft. BIGHORN and totally love the design and features.
Thanks for the video that is nice to manufacturers are starting to listen to their customers and it's probably because of your videos thanks 😊
Wow! That's a really sharp looking fifth wheel!
Beautiful layout with the kitchen living area, it’s about time, really like the dual pane window option also.
Dude that is one thing I want when I get older that thing is soooooo nice
You're right this is hands down my favorite toy hauler layout. Most haulers living room, or lack thereof, drives me nuts
Beauty. I have a 2016 332ts, solid rig from Keystone. This thing would be great to full time in.
I LOVE THIS TOY HAULER!!!! Love it❤️
By far my favorite too. FINALLY a big 5th wheel with a full size outdoor kitchen!
I would love to live in this one year round!! So nice when the toy haulers have the doors that are kind of like sliding glass doors but I'm pretty sure its plastic but still when it's cold out it's much better than just the screen doors . . Wish you would go over the type of doors.. looking for something like this because of older kids who need there own room.. just would love this😊💜💜👍👍 I know this is older but it's still one of my favs!!
After doing some ofy owm research ive got to agree this one just has that right flow you want when traveling in obviosuly a smaller space than you home. 👍 Good taste!
Love this TH floor plan.. I agree, Keystone got it! I'd like a smaller garage thou, 13' is more than I'd need 😀
We are getting one of these soon and I’m really excited lol
Hey JD, great review.. We just pulled the trigger on a Vengeance 348A13 for the same reasons... great seating inside with the fireplace and TV in a great location..
Huge fan of the Keystown products! I know people complain about reliability but I think they are still built well. I’ve had my eye on the Raptors but money/no dually interfere with me buying one anytime soon. Thanks for video!
LOL at the end of the video he zooms into the murder report on tv 😂
I was looking at toy haulers until I realized that a 45 foot to hauler with a 15 foot garage is only 30 feet of kitchen/bedroom/living room space. I am looking (soon, hopefully) to move from a Silver Creek Silverback 35QB4 to a Riverstone 39FK. I LOVE that front kitchen and with the kids grown and out of the house, the 4 bed bunkhouse is useless as a screen door on a submarine.
I agree. This is by far one of the best layouts. The only negative I have is the loss of the 1/2 bath.
After researching toy haulers I decided to go with the Raptor 424. Picking it up this week. It was between 423 and 424. The 424 won out because of a couple features the 423 didn't have. The 424 has a 1 foot longer garage. A lot more room in the bedroom to access both sides of the bed and most importantly it has a second window in the bedroom. We do 99% boondocking and at night if we don't have a cross breeze in the bedroom it's just not all worth it.

This is a nice RV for 2019
Very nicely done with the description, getting to the point and stating what is important in a timely manner. We've all seen the one's that seem to drag on for days. This trailer is THE ONE! You are absolutely right with the haulers and no living space, tough/impossible to find. You mention the tow vehicle with the 3500/350 and dually. I would take it above that and increase the tow vehicle weight by adding the crew/super/mega cabs and long bed with the 4X4 for the added tow weight. Any smaller a truck would be too small/light to tow this thing with it's weight along with the size, in my opinion.
Good advice on trucks, thanks.
I like the new feel, showing still shots and slower panning. Although a couple of jump cuts that distract from the smoothness of the video.
That’s a sweet toy hauler ! 😎
That is a beast of a rig.
I like how you mention the right truck first a ram 3500 dually
Nice floor plan and decor. I like 2 entrances into the master bath. Another great review by BTBRV.
Outstanding presentation! Not once did I hear you say, "you've got your" or "again", which are completely unnecessary comments that are so very annoying. You have also stopped waving your hands around in front of your camera! AND kept this vid down to far less than 8 minutes! The picture and comment pacing was also excellent and did not drag or need to be sped up! Please keep up these improvements and you are heads and shoulders above other presenters. You already pack in a lot of excellent points and technical information. This is like a nice polish job on top of your great content.
This looks beautiful
I really like this rig!
I completely agree with you on the controls. I do not like those touch screen deals. Give me regular switch’s for everything.

Incommand also allows smart phones to connect to it, and some models are also wifi capable... meaning if you connect the panel to the wifi, you can access it still while you are away from the rig. If you have pets you can make sure furnace/ac is running for them, turn your AC on before you arrive at your site to chill it for arrival, or monitor for issues... Plus it also allows Keystone Customer Service to assist remotely with troubleshooting like doing a screen share with tech support for your computer if you allow them access. Helps you and them diagnose and troubleshoot issues quicker over the phone and get the parts sent. With the touch screen, smartphone/tablet connection, internet connect, manual switches on control board, and the old fashioned override cranks on the motors themselves, technically you have 5+ ways to monitor and operate the rig to control everything vs. The ones that just have switches. On the flip side... it adds some complexity to the system for tech wary folks, but I do applaud them for trying something diffent in the age of home automation and Internet of Things (IoT) era. For the record, I dont work for, get endorsed by, or own a keystone, or any rv for that matter. This is just information I found from Keystone factory tours on KZread where the technical manager gave a long detailed overview on their system.
New to RVs and not the best of credit. Just got a 2007 raptor 3814 with 14' garage. I love it, but this is my new dream rig. When I can upgrade this is what I'm looking for!
One of my favoritives toy H. I would still like some more mod. & very much lkke the color.👍👍👍🌟👍👍👍
Love this so much. ❤️
I like this one better than some of the others.
I love the living area floor plan of this toy hauler. We are looking at upgrading I just do not like the north south bed position
This is the right one!
For a more economical choice , check out the Forest River Wolf Pack 365 Pack 16.
A great piece of kit... for me (a non-toy hauler) I'd see if you could with the kitchen wall around (eg the one with the microwave in the cabinet, so it's next to the TV cabinet), push the kitchen 3 or 4 feet into the 'garage', have the washer / dryer side by side under a counter top and have a bespoke kitchen / dining / patio area with a more relaxed, private living room space... overall sa gorgeous RV...
LMAO Dude really said just don’t fall of the tall ladder 😂😂😂
Someday soon if you could do a review of the GD Momentum 395 M, we would like to see it. Thank you.

The Jayco Seismic 4113 you reviewed last year is my first choice but I really like the layout of this unit. It would be a close second choice. I agree with you about the placement of the sofa facing the TV. The only down side would be giving up a side patio deck, and I love the step up mid kitchen on the Seismic.

I have looked inside that floor plan, and I agree, it’s my favorite too. Completely separating the kitchen and living spaces is what I think has been needed. What took them so long? According to the specs, the garage will (barely) fit a Polaris Rzr XP 4 Turbo S.

I like this trailer..I have been saying some of the same things you mentioned with our XLR Boost..cabinets are too dark, hate the convection oven, dislike the loft only use it for storage as I would not put kids that high up to sleep in..we took out lousy mattress put in an RV short Queen..took out the reclining sofa of faux leather and put in a Laz-y-boy reclining dual love seat. I really like your kitchen arrangement..like the bigger frig and how much your tanks hold. Well..lol..other than all of that..I like your trailer
Would love to see your thoughts on a Raptor 427. For a one bike family I think it’s the best “livable” hauler
Just picked this trailer up 3 weeks ago and love it! Has a few design flaws but nothing that isn’t easily fixable in my opinion. Great toy hauler!
Great video, I like the floor plan. I think I would want a queen size bed instead of the king. Not much room on the drivers side.
This now at the top of my list! Thanks !!!
That was a nice touch man, showing that murder at the end of the video.
Awesome!!!
Would love to see a review on the wolf pack 365 pack 16 it has a great price point would love to see your thoughts on it
I'm not really into toyhaulers but I like this one
JD if you ever get the opportunity check out the 2019 Keystone Fuzion 429. I went and looked at one last weekend. It has (imo) by far the best floor plan out there for a toyhauler. You maintain the 13 foot garage for the kiddos or toys, and in the garage you have a 1/2 bath. In the living area you have an "L" shaped couch facing the TV and fire place. As well as a dinette slide with NO CARPET that can seat 4. The kitchen is good a size as well. The 429 is definitely on the top of my list. I'm gonna search for this one as well. I would definitely like to walk thru this one.

Question. I have looked at them online but can't tell how much room is between TV and main couch sitting position. Is it too close for 3 hour movies or you think its liveable. I live in my coach for 3 months at a time so important to have good TV viewing angle. Thanks
Nice. Have you checked out the Grand Design Momentum line? The 397TH has a full bath in the garage that does not take up any garage space, nice layout in the living area as well.
@mikeb8342

Also, if you don't need a huge garage (one motorcycle or a couple scooters) the 376th is almost perfect..... except taking up kitchen space for the w/d. I'm considering both the 376th and 397th myself. Of course I'm about 15 yrs out from my purchase....
Nice rig
This floorplan looks a lot like the Alliance Valor we want, the 40v13.
That is very nice but I still think the Keystone Fuzion 429 takes that design up a few notches.
Question: could you haul two horses with the stablemate system in the back of it?
Wow, this thing is massive. Many parks we go to, this would not fit in. These just keep getting bigger.
Look at the Grand Design Momentum 376TH. Single motorcycle only, but LARGE living room and kitchen.
Love it, definitely don't need a dually to tow it though. SRW 1ton has the capability, 1400lbs under my rams max payload and half the weight 15,000lbs under my trucks max towing capacity 👍

I agree, the best one yet! Just need to delete the secondary bathroom entrance (seriously! Why are those so common? Big waste of wall space!) and turn the bed to recover lost closet space. Then you can turn the shower stall perpendicular and get a much larger shower stall.

Actually, it's because most toy haulers in this class size have a second bath adjacent to the garage. For a retiree couple that doesn't have guests join them much, the 2nd bath probably isn't needed.... but neither is a bigger living room. To each their own.
I love the inside.. as a young buyer i hate those old cheap wood and interior looking rvs. Its so unappealing. But this one looks nice and bachelor looking very hip and modern.. you dont get that elderly people vibe. Its nice but id like to see some with bigger and more windows along with a window in the front on top of the RV.. i hope to buy one at the end of next year so hopefully i can get a good luxury looking model for a good price. Cant wait to get it and put my motorcycle in the back.

I would like to see the layout with the slides IN. We are considering full-time and I would want to be able to get in the fridge and to the stove without having to open everything up. Quick lunch stops or overnight stays like in some parking lots 🤔
Would you please review some HDT tow vehicles? I think a dually is too small. I believe you have looked at an MDT. I’d love your thoughts on an HDT. Thank you
You should check out the vengeance 420v12 toy hauler
You shoukd also check out the Fuzion 379 and 430.
You should checkout the riverstone toy hauler. The bed lifts during transit and that is your garage. Just as much room as a traditional toy hauler and the same setup as a traditional 5th wheel. It’s quite ingenious.

Hi, love your channel. QUESTION; I saw the video you did about notched z frames on toy haulers and strength. I'm looking at buying a Fuzion 419 but see some notched and some not for the same year (2020-2021). What do you think is up with that? Thanks
That's pretty nice. Do they let you custom order these, or just make a floor plan and throw it out there for sale?
I want a toyhauler just like this but with a bunk house just in front of the living room.
Very nice 👍👌😎
Have to agree...awesome floor plan! And, while I disagree with you on some half ton towing abilities, without a doubt, this monster is dually territory! Great RV and great review! Nobody hits the details like you.
Could you do a 'slides in' view in your reviews? It would help a lot of people to know the functionality with all slides in. Thanks and appreciate your videos!
It is very nice 5th wheel unit, but I think they overlooked something, this beauty is to accommodate 6 people or 8 if we go crazy ... lol, whatever ... I miss the half bathroom in the garage because with that number of people inhabiting this 5th wheel ... it's insufficient ... it's my opinion and that's why I love the Cyclone 4005 Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler ... good video
I always enjoy your videos… will you consider making a video about the ATC all aluminum 5th wheel trailer like the 40ft game changer? I would like your opinion on the features, equipment etc, is it worth the money? Thank you so much
My aunt Kelly Sweeney has a camper just like that
If you live in California, you can definitely afford one of these, when rent is over $ 3000 for a two bedroom and almost 5k for a house, getting a new one and a new truck to pull it with may cost you around 2000 a month...

What's behind the massive exterior door on the passenger slide out? Looks an outdoor kitchen and/of outdoor entertainment center?
