2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R MPG towing Travel trailer B&W weight distribution hitch initial Impressions

[@TheMonkdad]

Checking my MPG gives me the exact same feeling as stepping on the bathroom scale. Cool WD hitch.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@motofunk1]

Just get two scales, one for each foot, the number will seem better. If you don't like it, just lean.

[@ril850_1]

Your results were what I sort of imagined. Can’t wait for the hitch and new TT review. Awesome!

[@paulbaker7489]

This the kind of content I've been looking for. I have a Gen 1 Raptor that I use as a daily (9mpg, hence wanting to upgrade) and off-road it hard and I'm looking to upgrade to a 2024 Raptor (normal, not R) because I want to be able to tow an off-road trailer (Bruder or similar) while also carrying a couple of KTM 300s in the back.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Heck ya. Great bike choices! I have some more videos of towing you can check out as well as dirt bikes!

[@motofunk1]

Thanks for the video... The mpg was a bit of a disappointment but all else was as expected. Trying for 9th gear didn't really add any benefit as boost stepped up from 4psi to 9psi to support that gear. Fuel economy would be the same or worse, maybe the sound was reduced a bit though. Would be interesting to know exactly how much tongue weight that was.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Great point, I will be doing more towing in the future to get more data on how the raptor tows this setup! Thanks for watching

‘24 Ecoboost towing 24’ Grey Wolf 18RRBL (6.5k lbs) after about 1.5k miles towing , lots of mountain passes and freeway getting 9.3 average MPG on 87. Average speed 65ish.

[@motofunk1]

@@0TheWholeShabang0 Regular F150 or Raptor?

[@murrkem8239]

Mostly what I figured. I wonder what % of raptor owners actually tow with it. I think I saw a number of less than 2% of raptor owners use it for offroad applications (all raptors not just the R). Id imagine towing is similar to that. thank you for the video!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

That makes sense. Thanks for watching.

[@mikek743]

2% crew here, 25’ travel trailer. Raptor pulls it really well.

[@sshag4653]

Ive towed a corvette Z06 track car with my 2017 raptor and it’s perfect. Gas mileage isn’t that bad

[@tech-Nic]

Did you mention the dry weight of the trailer? If so, I missed it. Help a brother out!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

No problem. Around 7k dry!

[@StreetOHV]

need airlift airbags as well. helps a ton

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Absolutely agree!

[@robspring81]

The airbags I had on my 23 raptor lasted about 6 months. Go Eibach HD +500 pound spring. Wayyyy better option

[@ej99f1501]

How did you get the side cameras to come on when you change lanes with the trailer?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Once trailer is connected truck does I automatically on the 24 raptor!

[@ej99f1501]

Oh that figures, I’ve got a 23… lol

[@niurkanoce2929]

What is the height of hitch receiver from ground to inside top of the receiver?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I need to find my notes but I think around 23 inches.

[@JC-tc7uh]

What's the payload capacity on that Raptor?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for watching. Right around 1340lbs!

[@rodneycrable7502]

That’s pretty close to max payload especially if you have gear and family. Love it though and awesome video!

[@joshuathibodeaux5911]

What's tongue weight of the trailer?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Around 1100lbs loaded up!

[@leejennings3397]

See how it does when the trailer is loaded.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Future video coming!!
