[@ACCELER8TV]

Which one looks better? The Gen 2 or the new Gen 3? *EDIT: Yes, the step tailgate is offered on the 2nd generation. Mistakes were made.

[@ianmcalpine]

Gen 3 for sure!!

[@klierly7942]

Seeing a 2020 on the road led me to ask, "Is that a Raptor?" However, with the 2022, there is no question

[@conorloy3345]

Gen 2 is a million times better lmao

[@mrod0855]

Surround view camera available on both.

[@mrod0855]

All the tailgate features you noted with the exception on the power close are available on the Gen 2. Seems like you have low optioned Raptor for your Gen 2.

[@dylanw890]

I know that Ford may not be the most luxurious vehicles out there but if there is one thing that they do extremely well is their exterior lighting. When I see these lights at night, they are just so crisp and bright.

[@johnt1059]

20:08 is part of ford blue cruise autonomous driving system, there’s also two cameras located on either end where the hazard switch is to monitor driver eyes when blue cruise active. Blue cruise is subscription based and on select roads or highways.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Thank you for letting us know!

[@salmanahmad9268]

I just prefer the old headlight design...looks more badass in my opinion.

[@OmarAli-vq8gs]

I 100% agree. It had that calm agressive look to it.

[@jonathancardenas783]

I disagree😬

[@allanyang21]

Gen 3 look will grow on you. At first i prefer the gen 2 headlights, but now i love the gen 3, looks completely bad ass.

[@jonathancardenas783]

@Dr. WomenHateShortMen 🧐 for a DR you seem to not be that bright.

[@angelgabrielviray8333]

I respectully disagree

[@kobbycrentsil2859]

I have never been a fan of trucks... until NOW, this Raptor has caught my attention 🔥

[@zachv8286]

Excellent review - tons of information packed into an entertaining and digestible package. Awesome action shots and great commentary. This really is one incredible truck, particularly with the 37s. Love the updates and especially the new exhaust, which finally matches the Raptor’s personality.

[@youngdaggerdick8410]

The production and content is amazinggg!!!

[@craighunter988]

Great video!!! One of the better videos on the Gen 3 Raptor! 👍 for being in Ontario Canada! I can't wait for my 2022 Raptor!

[@pshoan007]

The edit deserves a lot of credit. Great work guys!

[@hockeymann88]

Ford did a good job improving the exhaust sound. These things remain so capable. 450 hp is plenty for a truck especially considering the significant torque.

[@josef9592]

Am I the only person who thinks the Gen 2 Raptor has the best front and back headlight design? 🤔 It looks more aggressive and flashy the new front and back headlights look to plain and small

[@harlemknight120]

100k+

[@jonesjones7057]

Agreed

[@Tumi_n_Company]

Nooooo gen 3 looks soooo much more aggressive

[@snakeheadparadise]

Yes.

[@pacman-in-oz]

I’m with you👍

[@aychihuahua99]

Love the quality of your videos

First time watching your videos and I subscribed. You put so much effort into the video. I truly hope your channel blows up, and it will as long as you keep up the same energy and level of detail. Excited to see where this channel goes. Cheers!

[@raymondrileyjr]

Concise, focused and hella informative 👍🏾💪🏾. Thanks for making this one bro! I’m currently in a Gen 2 18 looking to pull the trigger soon on Gen 3 but wanting to see the Raptor R first.

[@FM_Chatti]

Awesome review vid!

Thanks so much Lucas! Glad to have you on board.

[@danielharry1075]

The Raptor is simply fantastic and stragely attractive which most trucks can't do.

[@tymurzavalnyuk6322]

Just bought this truck. I love it!

[@krisbohn4118]

Great review !!!

[@abdulghani.2006]

I had a big smile when I heard the sound for 2022.

[@ala-lash3710]

You're so fun! Instant sub 💯👏

[@mouloudboukhalfa247]

I don't know what I like more, the car or the review!

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Another great review, as always! And what a beautiful truck! I've been looking this over, and as tempting as it would be to get the Performance 37 Gen 3 Raptor, I'd likely stick to the 35 Gen 3 Raptor, as long as it still came with the springs rather than leafs. It's funny though, what really stands out to 59 year old me, that foldable flat worksurface in the front center console. That would be so incredibly useful to me. Frankly, I saw your 2021 Cadillac Escalade review, and almost got one. Had it had that foldable flat work surface in the front center console, I probably would have. Actually, the 22" wheels on the Escalade worried me some, so I'd still have had to figure out if I could get it with 20"ers. Don't have that problem with these Raptors. And from what I am hearing, the Gen 3 especially drives incredibly smooth on the highways as well. Wish it had the Platinum's massaging and fully reclining seats, oh well, nothing's perfect, but this Raptor looks pretty darn close. Love your reviews, and love this truck! Thumbs up, once again!

[@Lisa4Me2]

That "thing" you were wondering about is one of the two Blue Cruise sensors. that one to the left of the steering wheel, on the driver's side door and the second sensor is on the dash, top right of the screen. You can drive hands free BUT those two sensors are watching your eyes to make sure you have your eyes on the road.

[@songun101]

Quickly becoming 1 of my favorite car reviewers

[@BLACKPANTHER-ux9vo]

Awesome review love the content😀😀😀

[@SohailKhan-ik7ro]

Great review..🔥🔥🔥

[@drking3000]

Time to start hustling some more. I need this in my life.

[@mini2nut67]

The 37” tires look perfect on the truck. It makes the 35” tires look small and undersized!

[@aphelelezoleka4309]

Wow...God I love this car...I have been a fan since the first Gen

[@charles17508]

I love that truck they did a great job my 14 has about 130 thousand miles on her I like the ecoboost it's a reliable engine so maybe when the dealer mark up goes down and shit goes back to normal im thinking in about 2 years if it's smooth sailing till than we should be good I'd take that one on 37s over the trex any day .

[@robertohernandez-bh9rv]

Damn bruhh, I was debating about getting the new Raptor, and this video convinced me!!!

[@veesaldangol2681]

Liked and subscribed❤ Beautiful review😍

[@tejasflo7076]

This review made me a subscriber!!!

[@ROGER98SS]

The little thing you referenced on the driver's side windshield pilar is actually a camera, so you can be watched for safety reasons. When I was ordering my 2022 Raptor my sales rep told me what it was. I have a 2017 that will have 100K miles on it soon and it has never been in the shop.

[@dakotabu]

Yep! you are right! I have 2017 Raptor. I keep my truck.

[@AmericanMuscleTruck]

Who's watching you in your own vehicle?

[@ROGER98SS]

@@AmericanMuscleTruck Uncle Sam is who is watching.

[@AmericanMuscleTruck]

@@ROGER98SS that's what I was worried about

[@reelfishingadventures950]

Cameras so that the driver & pasangers can be watched? Is that really true? Does it have to be included? 🤔

[@eddiev.manday9233]

I repeat watching this video many times, I love this car. Hope to drive like this car in the future. Hayys.

[@antoniohinojos3808]

Mean af, probably the only truck I'd be happy to drive. Way to go Ford, made America proud on this one! 💯🔥

[@antoniohinojos3808]

@Dr. WomenHateShortMen 🧐 not anymore, not with current gas prices 😂

[@NoonMight]

I like how excited you get when you drive it

[@paulm6481]

Great video. Great truck. Ford has perfected this recipe. If I won the lottery I buy it. Beautiful.

[@richardjasareno7845]

Very good presentation about gen 3 raptor

[@mrunknown7886]

Very nice review 👌

[@SolarBlackShine]

I just came across your channel. First video seen. I'm subscribing.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Thanks Jay!!

[@lizzyav2555]

Damn! IM IMPRESSED!!!

[@lavdimavdiu4584]

Very nice presentation 👍🏻

[@perc10-550]

wow and i was thinking of getting the 2020 ford raptor because i didn’t see a difference but you have changed my mind

[@aroihou6116]

That's really cool

[@geeeforce7149]

I love the mean and modern look of the old version , that looks sexier than the newer version for some reason , i wish the newer version had the front of the older version 😍😍😍

[@blackericdenice]

After owning a 2016 F165 for 5 years. I gotten used to the 2.7 aka 165 cuin twin turbo v6 sound. I have 81k miles and both of my turbos are good. My last fill up was 19 mpg mix driving. I used HP Tuner to raise my top speed to 120 mph. My stop/start does not work anymore. No I did not turn it off.

[@KINGSHTRO]

The best video!

[@GameboyStudios1]

Nice video 👍

[@chazliam]

nice content. subscribed👍👍👍

[@greatsena]

My dream truck. May be I have to wait a little while and buy a slightly used one. I really love this car.

[@captainamerica7442]

It would be hard to choose but the 2022 would be the best pick honestly 👍

[@mohnster4000]

The 37"s make it look so good

[@redjonnyboy00]

They make it slower too

[@RK-ck2ee]

quality vdos! awesome stuff! btw which is the bgm track played? adds damn punch to the cool quo!

[@Bird2920]

You are eccentric like me.. Almost like you're talking to yourself, but not exactly. Great content! Thanks for giving an in depth look at both trucks!

[@sultankuto8724]

Beautiful just beautiful can't wait to get me one and travel ,travel, travel thank you ford

[@TheCARLOANExpert]

Worth your effort Bro, I like this review From PHILIPPINES New SUBCRIBER here...🙏

[@bosejakub]

Looks exactly like my dream! Me and my son are just 😮❤

[@Rommer2258]

For more of the extreme guys a gen 2 would still be better, people will find the rear 5 link layout will be extremely limiting when it comes to adding rear travel. The ability to plug in Long travel leafs and cut the bed and run a 18" shock, with out redesiging the rear suspension design. But stock for stock the 3rd Gen will be a better design

[@nadebothd4006]

Bro alot of those features on the gen 3 I have on my gen 2 lmao. You just don't have a very optioned out gen 2 no offense meant. Also the production quality on this video is damn good man you guys do some good work!

[@MustafarRecRoom]

Still rockin' my first gen '12 SCrew, in great shape and runs like a top....gonna run it into the ground. ...plus I can't afford $100K plus for a new one up here in Canuckistan.

[@elvinlopez0371]

Brutal 👍🏽

[@bradpowell843]

Good video with the exception of your crazy MPG figures between this and the TRX. They are only 3 MPG different as proven by TFL truck in a apples to apples driving scenario.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Pulled from the white label from manufacturer!

[@freddywayne]

That's one of the sensors on the inside driver's mirror panel for the Ford Blue Cruise Autonomous Driving.

[@user-ci1yn8or2h]

My next car for sure ❤

[@rudyllana9881]

One day baby one day!!!

[@AdamJDMartin]

LORDY that exhaust makes me purr.

[@dpowell468]

Waiting on that 2021 jaguar fpace svr in satin yellow review lol that would make my whole year

[@michaelballew1415]

My 2020 has the step. Waiting on my 2022 to be delivered to my house!

[@chrismahoney4972]

That little thing is for the Blue Cruise system that will implement the self driving feature, such as your Tesla. I’m not sure when the download will be available, but it should be soon.

[@Shiba_Inu_Des]

Gen 2 has a more aggressive front end IMO

[@davidbarfield3489]

I ordered my 2022 Raptor today!!!

[@ACCELER8TV]

So sick!

[@tribegeronimo7096]

Definitely GUN compartments bud 💪🏾

[@HKX_ORANGECHICKEN]

I'll take either one!

[@fear-gearfordpinkmermaid702]

the small thing on the door frame i gues are active drive assist, uses a driver facing camera and infrared lightning to monitor your eyes and head position,to detect if you are distracted.

[@foadaltouri2004]

the look of the red truck is just killing , way better than the white one.

[@naturalsound5247]

I real love the blue one

[@haroldmccarthy8382]

nice trail out there, looks like one of our conservative park!

[@nevillemander]

So proud of Ford Australia who designed and engineered Ford Ranger and the Gen 3 Raptor is hopefully my car in 2022. Ranger is #2 car in Australia, NextGen 3 Ranger will go #1 in Australia.

[@Hao-ro3to]

11/5000 Except for the newest Ranger，Ford Australia's cars are ugly，The dismantling of Ford Europe is a pity

[@drmolina5853]

This is my dream car hopefully I can afford the V8 when it comes out.

[@YoungMoneyInvestments]

The Gen 2 did have the tailgate step option. Likely what happened was whoever built the Gen 2 chose not to add that $500 option and neither did I when I built my 2019 Raptor. It's really not useful, especially when considering how much the option is.

[@aqswdefrt1]

I have the 2020 Raptor and the tailgate does have the step built in. That said, the new Raptor is awesome.

[@satishtummala5084]

Same here...my 2019 has the tailgate step. Maybe it wasn't available in Canada.

[@BobbyBimmer]

The 2022 is where it’s at, for me imo.

[@vanmeter_]

CANT WAIT FOR THE SUOERCHARGED V8!!!!!!!!

[@arturoalvarado1796]

I can’t wait to get one!! Is like drive a gt 500 but in truck!!

[@TrojansOwl1]

the grill and exterior on the new raptor is growing on me

[@fitzrob1399]

The 2nd Gen also has 360 camera... as well as a tailgate step.

[@manilamartin1001]

Damn that's a good looking truck.

[@justinpenn9250]

The 2019 Raptor has the tail gate step - I find it hard to believe the 2020 doesn’t. It is optional - not standard if that’s what you mean. The stickers on the front and rear are a waste of money, imo. The rear suspension change and 37” look awesome!

[@michaelgordon3897]

They do. my 2020 has a tailgate step.

[@danigreatprogresslana570]

Nice

[@caseyjackson2400]

That’s what she said, it’s so wild and smooth.

[@landonvanway7892]

A lot of the stuff you were saying in the beginning about the 2020 wasn't right. They do have a full 360 "birds eye" camera as well as offering the tailgate step

[@damigamermx-us8291]

6:20 The Gen 2 actually feels like a Raptor because it’s huge. And the interior still feels modern and the touch screen is fine, in the 14th Gen F-150 they just made the screen bigger but we almost don’t look at it because we are driving.

[@shemtv9199]

I just hope i have one too 🔥.

[@julesguedry2466]

I wish I had this much fun at my job

[@cathywhippy3377]

I DREAM OF HAVING THEM ONE DAY. I LOVE FORD ❤

[@CRatcliffe]

Are you mentioning that these are options on the 2nd gen? My 2017 gen 2 has the tailgate step

[@mdjak3686]

Straightpipes reviewed the Gen2 also. And no power tailgate on Gen2.
