2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Car Review

[@elliottmanning4116]

I love how excited Julian was with the Raptor. Even little things like the tailgate step impressed him.

[@TheM3csl]

Been following this channel for many years. Never fails to deliver quality content.👍

[@actoraa]

This got to be one of your most entertaining reviews. 👍

[@CARS_AT_100]

yep agreed with you on that one. love the review.

[@Bryan-T]

I'm not a fan of Ford or trucks in general but this is something else.

[@mirumask]

Bryan T same!

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

Same here. What a beast! Respect to Ford for building this truck.

[@KingKwon]

Bryan T, I was in the same boat. Not interested in trucks...or Ford. Until I purchased a new '14 Raptor and now the '17. Resale value on the first one was awesome, lost very little money.

[@dan_6915]

This and the GT.

[@namitaagrawal562]

Bryan T you are true

[@MightyGreed]

I'm actually really happy that they chose to go with a V6 instead of a chunky V8, its something new for real American Pick-up Trucks!

[@brucec43]

The ability to get a full size truck with an extended cab and the short bed to keep the wheelbase short is intriguing. Much more manueverable in town.

[@Cjdergrosse]

I am definitely not a truck person, I'd rather have a Expedition over a F150 anyday, but not this... This thing is a beast!

[@SSS-mp8th]

I have no interest in a truck but the Raptor is badass, if I could afford it I might actually consider it. Same with a Hellcat/Demon.

[@kingdaniel3519]

You know, the first generation isn't all that expensive. You can find them for sale online for less than $25,000. Especially the ones that had the 5.4.

[@CARS_AT_100]

its a big car, i tried driving it and i felt like sitting in a tank. overall not bad.

[@venom5809]

I don't like pickup trucks but I love the Raptor, that's extremely high praise.

[@williamscott7763]

Absolutely love this truck and your videos Tom. Great scenery as well! Extras were pretty good too!

[@babamarktesoro]

Was never a truck guy let alone car guy but man is this thing beautiful.

[@cizzane46]

“Beauty and the Beast” that’s what i would like to call this truck

[@davidrussell5570]

That thing is a complete BEAST!!!!

[@TheHelghast1138]

My God I love this truck!!! Awesome scenery too! :) Great video as always Tom!!!

[@Fierrosporcelular]

As usual, the best in the business. You rock, Tom!

[@CDNRower99]

Never knew what a 'Prerunner' was. Thanks Tom!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Great Drama in this one! All the extra help made for an extra fine video.

[@TheHelghast1138]

I love this truck soooooooooooooooooooo much!!! Epic video, thank you Tom!

[@jody024]

Very entertaining video! What a gorgeous place to shoot!

[@TheDrunkardHu]

What a story!! Thanks for sharing it, and the review!

[@MrSamsam911]

I dont care for pick up trucks nor ford. But the exterior on this is amazingly executed. a reason to buy it alone

[@danmurphy1994]

You had a Raptor. No need to call the tree service guys just tie some para cord to the hitch or w/e and tie the other end to the tree, throw the raptor in 4 hi, turn off traction and stability mode shift into manual mode, 1st gear, then (make sure there's plenty of slack so you can build enough speed.) then floor it, you want the para cord to tense when the raptor has accelerated to about 8 mph. It won't uproot the tree (that's what the new super duty line up is for) but it'll shake the tree violently and knock your drone on down! Also, it shouldn't hurt the Ford! I have no idea what I'm talking about and I shouldn't own or be around heavy machinery. Do it though. Since the new F-250's frame is 2400% strong than the already ridiculously strong predecessor I bet that'd be able to accomplish much more impressive feats of strength, like demolition: tie chain to goose neck hitch, tie other end of chain to the chimney in the house, (this had better be a VERY strong 75-100 foot chain) and follow the aforementioned steps for the Raptor drone retrieval project. Definitely clear out the house first because that bitch is goin' down!

[@Irroxin]

I loved the drone story

[@larryg3326]

Good review, nice truck. Timely drone rescue, I spent this morning rescuing mine from a tree. Fortunately it was on my property. Unfortunately I had to wait a month for the end of fire season and then take down 3 trees to get to it. Wood won't be wasted but a morning was.

[@healthcareIT]

Love the drone commentary

[@CleanClaspCollector]

Love this review and the overall feel of the channel. Very well done!!

[@2jazzen]

It looks like Ford brought us the sophisticated beefy beast :) Great review!!! Tom👍👍

[@philipc239]

👍😊 from 2021 still an amazing production

[@1guyin10]

Still wish they would offer a V8 in it. A Raptor just needs that V8 rumble - and not of the synthetic variety....

[@jody024]

This is better though in terms of HP and Torque.

[@Jans_world1730]

7.0L coming next year 💪

[@Lewenthh]

Nice content man, i loved it!

[@KineticMantis]

another awesome review!

[@olamorken]

Great work!

[@rc9raptor207]

THIS car is REALLY AWESOME

[@vaneztax]

Great review. Rock on

[@buzzfeedright4154]

Ford explorer sport is kinda fast in its own right, like in a smooth power kind of way.

[@DronieUp]

Looks great!

[@swanblake]

Really dislike the sound of the ecoboost. Would take less performance in exchange for that 6.2L V8 sound. Should have at least be an option to spec the v8

[@Jimmyxsx]

Blake Swan just get a 1st gen Raptor or if you have really deep pockets im pretty sure you can swap the ecoboost with a 5.0L.

[@natewallinger9270]

big yee Or you could do something crazy like put a lt4 on it.

[@Jimmyxsx]

Nate Wallinger LT4 overheats in the corvette z06 so that would be a big no.

[@ryanb8736]

In person it actually sounds good. It has a military sound to it.

[@natewallinger9270]

big yee I'm pretty sure it was the auto transmission not the engine. Because the manuals don't really have that problem.

[@vijayshan3804]

What a truck ! Ford please bring this to Australia !

[@T4nkcommander]

Vijay Shanmugamany you guys are at least getting the Ranger Raptor!

[@australianmade2659]

So does the direct injection still foul the intake valves?

[@amosainger3068]

Did i just hear Julian and Ricky showed up! Where's bubbles ?? Haha

[@MyPhonePays]

Kool video best video ever on the KZbin

[@albertmartin6298]

Sweet ride

[@steve4294]

great video, as always. is it just me, or is there water leaking from center console (at 5:10 minute mark)?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Some speed shine I use to keep the cars clean

[@respect411]

great review as always....u know thats an eagle though right? lol

[@DrivenCarReviews]

... and eagles are raptors.

[@8lack8bird]

sport sandals ftw

[@ChristopherJustin-yt2vf]

Julian is sure a happy man I hope he's still smiling in 2024😂

[@MarcusLundin]

Deserves a like just for effort, but great review as usual :)

[@jackyff8]

Great review!

[@vitobustamante2576]

Julian said, it sounds like a race car. It sounds like I don't know, a base chevrolet silverdado

[@isaacvanness2539]

I LOVE trucks, I'm a chevy guy, but this impressed me

[@Raven1180]

Excellent vid

[@LordLauderdale]

Looks good !

[@CalvinHikes]

The old saying is, "There's nothing easy about good photography."

[@McSMACKthe1st]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing this video since you mentioned it in another review and I wasn’t disappointed. That Raptor looks like a very fun truck all the way around. I guess it’s fun off-road and civil on the road? How was it driving down the freeway? Anyway, another great review and thanks. By the way, did something get spilled? Looks like something was dripping when you opened the center armrest.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Surprisingly easy

[@Khaled-tx5xj]

Is it wider than the hummer h2 ?

[@Firejob2]

What is the payload on a Raptor

[@DiabolicalRunner]

why u driving with indicators on?

[@saibushayer]

We really need a review of the new Lexus LC 500. Hopefully one's on the way :)

[@DrivenCarReviews]

About a month out. Already shot.

[@HL99DMD]

Nice video!

[@samsaltonstall2943]

5:11 was that milk dripping from the center console?

[@policies8534]

Aren’t you dead?

[@chrisdblue]

What kind of tree was it that it was stuck in. I loved it 😍

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Don't know, I'm not a tree guy

[@SchmitzGarage]

Nice review but why did you slam the doors into each other...

[@Navneetyadavvlogs01]

Top model price please talk about this highest price of this car

[@khunopie9159]

This truck combines rugged athleticism with sophisticated elegance. Like Bruce Jenner crossed with Kim Kardashian... it really is _that_ special

[@farazbaber7239]

Nice vid... thanks

[@gogutzy]

Tom, I'm going to tell you the truth. Your videos make me want to move to Washington. Greetings from Eastern Europe.

[@apolo2286]

nice car

[@cadsux]

Ford should put this 3.5L V6 in the next Ecoboost Mustang. I've heard this engine is supposed to address the problems of the Ecoboost lineup, such as carbon build-up, thru tricks such as the mentioned piston cooling. So was all that trouble getting the drone back worth the whirlwind date with this beauty?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

It was worth it to get my investment out of the tree. Those things aren't cheap.

[@lexusfan100]

can u do 2017 passat SE with tech package review..thanks

[@TRDGE]

why was the center console so wet when it was opened? @5:09

[@merlinguillaume7487]

I love this one bring me this

[@petedavis8701]

Very interesting and funny

[@asakirothman5459]

I love this haha!

[@Ms89giogio]

Maybe you should write: tree drone review

[@PEDROLUCAS-fg7om]

Esse carro é top

[@martymcandrew7402]

I miss Cooley so much. Toms the other car reviewer who can match his style and “comedy”

[@FoodyTunes]

Just curious, what’s with the water dripping out of the center console at 05:10 ?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Some speed shine I use to keep the cars clean

[@babalmeroeng2349]

Price??

[@tomasandersson7710]

What is that liquid thats drops in the center armrest at 5.10?

[@jody024]

water, fridge underneath condensed the top.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Some speed shine I use to keep the cars clean

[@volcom52002]

Ford raptor and a gt350 is all you need.

[@davidmandziuk8493]

Gettin a Yamaha RAPTOR , and if things go good, I'll be showing my O face. OH. OH. OH yeah !!!!

[@sreenathshree5570]

How much???

[@ottovonbismarch5022]

5:09 there is an open bottle of milk on the upside i think

[@richd6818]

Where is the liquid coming from at 5:09

[@Aliakbar.m]

How long have you been using the drone for your videos? I had never noticed that!

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Off and on for the last 18 months

[@Aliakbar.m]

Driven Car Reviews Great!👍👍👍

[@supraphonic88]

5:10 Spill something?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Some speed shine I use to keep the cars looking good.

[@Cjdergrosse]

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that!

[@jimmy4x4socal44]

This truck was built in Texas hahahahaha

[@mahdishenavariyan3739]

خیلی عالی این ماشین آرزوشو دارم

[@nanomage]

So yeah, it got 3rd place in the Baja race (stock full class). Now on the surface this sounds awesome, dig a little deeper and you find that it came 3rd of 3 finishing vehicles. So what beat it? A 1999 Hummer H1 took first place and a 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser took second. So the race is really punishing, there must be a lot of vehicles that didn't finish right? Nope, the full stock class had 5 entries, all of them finished the round trip of the race course but you only have 36 hours to do so and two of them didn't make that cutoff, the raptor only made it with 52 seconds to spare mind you. So you want an awesome high speed offroad vehicle that's still in production? Get a Toyota Land Cruiser, it's cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain and finishes the Baja faster than the Raptor. Do you want a Ford pickup for hauling the family and gear around, get a normal F-150 or Super Duty. Don't have a family and want a coolish pickup and can handle the short bed? Get the Raptor. Just don't buy the sales pitch hook, line and sinker.

[@porscheguy09]

How much did it end up costing you to get the drone down? I guess even a couple hundred bucks is better than replacing it. A cheap Phantom 4 is $800 just for the drone.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

They only charged my $120. I had $130 on my and gave him 125 since I wanted 5 bucks for dinner.

[@ZaneRobertFrost]

Why was there no battery in the drone when it was in the tree? I own a P4P and the battery cannot just fall out. Nice review however.

[@davismathis845]

This is my dream everday driver car

[@Cretens]

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!

[@resul750]

İs it diesel?

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Raptor Car.

[@omolemophaoe]

I went from watching the mk4 supra review to watching the ford raptor f150 😂

[@Lilreeces10]

Daaaaaang, it sounds like a V6 LOL

[@olassa6975]

whats dripping at 5:10 ?????

[@khelvinjass3112]

5:09 why is there dripping water in the glove box

[@DrivenCarReviews]

It's speed shine I use to keep the cars clean

[@BPara2181]

Love Driven, love the raptor, love twin peaks and cherry pie, don’t need the opinion of a dude wearing flip flops in the woods. Cheapens Driven’s usual quality.

[@geigerzoola6642]

Tom whats your favourite car?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Depends... I could name a dozen.

[@geigerzoola6642]

Driven Car Reviews name one please pretty please
