2020 Ford Raptor - 1 Month Review in the High Desert of New Mexico

It's been 1 month and 2,500 miles in my new 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor, so I decided it would be a great time to give you my initial impression of the truck and my thoughts on buying one brand new here in 2020. I took the truck out to our local proving grounds we call the Rio Puerco to show the truck in its natural habitat.
While the Ford F-150 Raptor surely isn’t for everyone it's an off road package that is truly special.
I hope this was fun, useful, and, if anything, is inspiring you to go and check out your local surroundings.
WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL! My name is Gavin Malm, and as far back as I can remember, I have had one true passion, CARS! Professionally, I'm a real estate broker in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and while I love what I do, nothing quite beats a great car on a great road with a great soundtrack. Recently I decided I'm going to review cars and share my builds with you all even if nobody actually watches them. Oh and occasionally I shoot a New Mexico Travel Vlog
If you do, I hope you enjoy my content. If you are actually reading this, consider subscribing.
Whatever you love, do that… and drive safe.

Man I thought you had a million subs the way this video is so professional

[@GavinMalm]

Geez! I really appreciate that, I have really been working on making my videos better. I appreciate you supporting my channel!

[@steveadams8977]

Perfectly said bro, I own a 2019 and think it’s the best vehicle I ever owned both on and off road.

[@GavinMalm]

Thanks man, I really do appreciate the feedback as i'm working on developing the quality of my videos. I too agree, as someone who has owned many offroad trucks and sports cars I have to say the Raptor is one of the best vehicles of all time. Thanks again, I appreciate you for supporting my channel!

[@wyliecoyote5.082]

I love the Raptor content, keep them coming!

[@GavinMalm]

How did you like the latest videos?

[@wyliecoyote5.082]

@@GavinMalm I'd say your getting pretty good with the shots! Love the Raptor!

[@Desert_spool]

Awesome video! Keep it up. Let me know when you want to come down to El Paso, TX. Take you on some good trails here.

[@GavinMalm]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Looks like I might have a new truck replace it here soon!

[@duck748r]

Great truck for sure and you nailed the analogy to the ///M cars.

[@GavinMalm]

Glad you liked it! I thought it was a decent comparison considering I have now owned both a Raptor and a M car.

[@Iphone3gsFTW]

Awesome video!

[@GavinMalm]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you supporting my channel!

[@johnheath4305]

I have one. They are great trucks driven hard they still hold up. It is an amazing experience.

[@GavinMalm]

Totally agree! I had a good time with that truck. I picked up a 350 Tremor a little over a year ago.

[@jackollason6074]

Loving the drone footage my dude!

[@GavinMalm]

Having a drone again is going to be a total game changer!

[@joshuadanielblessing3446]

Keep up the good work.!

[@GavinMalm]

Thanks you for watching and supporting my channel!

[@nmunmnm]

Stellar production quality sir!!

[@GavinMalm]

Thanks my dude! I appreciate you always supporting me and my channel.

[@apmathai]

He’s back!

[@GavinMalm]

Gavin's back, back again! Thanks for always supporting my channel! Since my 4Runner days!

[@erikracz4162]

Nice truck, keep the raptor content coming. Good job.

[@GavinMalm]

More to come!

[@larryadeva4996]

Definitely would follow a build

[@GavinMalm]

Build series is on the way! Currently have lights to install, wheels, tires and I will be doing a bed rack setup! Thanks for stopping by and supporting my channel!

[@manny2door]

Sick shades bro!

[@GavinMalm]

Thanks!

[@jackollason6074]

Oh my God dude that drone landing was epic! I secretly hoped it was gonna crash through the moon roof but the gentle landing was even better

[@GavinMalm]

I almost didn't put that shot in the video but it turned out to be epic!

[@Spazaustin1390]

Raptor.....blown turbo at 6000 miles....4 weeks for part

[@GavinMalm]

Yeeeeesh, that's a bummer. I'm just under 5k miles and its all been good so far.

[@owenp.39]

What grey color ? 🤔

[@GavinMalm]

It's called Leadfoot.

[@drewzombiez]

Lol if I didn't already do a lot of research before watching this video, I wouldn't want a Gen 2 Raptor or possibly a Raptor in general. There are some bad things about the Raptor and you're totally flying right by it. 😂😂😂

[@GavinMalm]

The purpose of the video was to talk about the truck after 1 month of ownership. If and when those issues were to happen there would be a video about it. Let's all hope my cam phasers don't kick the bucket. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

[@jimmyjam505]

A bicycle is basically what you have underneath the hood of that Ford Ram power waggon now thats a truck

[@GavinMalm]

The Power Wagon is a great truck that I even considered buying. However, they were engineered with two entirely different goals but to say the Raptor has a bicycle under the hood is just WRONG. Power Wagon 6.4L Hemi V8 making 410HP/429TQ. 0-60 in 8.4 seconds. Raptor 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 making 450 HP / 510 TQ 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. So the Power wagon is down 40HP / 81TQ and 3.3 seconds slower to 60. The Raptor clearly makes more power and can get out of its own way in the way the Power Wagon simply can’t.

[@bcelectricc]

I would love to try a 450hp bicycle! As fpr the power wagon .....not even close to a raptor .

[@cparkerz2968]

Pretty sure any stock 4runner or even 2wd anything could handle the type of Off-Road driving in the video.

[@GavinMalm]

While I agree with you most of the driving in the video wouldn't push the limits of either rig in this video I can also tell you that a the first shot of the hill would be pretty much impossible for a stock 4runner to get up. It would at the very least need some decent tires to be able to get up the hill. I'm very familiar with the 4Runner platform having owned two of them. Scope out this video of me wheeling my 2013 Trail I had kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHWqZnqwqrOEo8U Thanks for supporting my channel.

Real nice i want to see that piece of shit make it through a 70 ford commercial. It can't.
