2024 Ford F-150 Raptor Review | Is the EcoBoost Enough?

[@987die]

I have had my 24 Raptor 3.5L 37 package (same one in this video just white) for 7 months now. It still makes me smile every day, i offroad a decent amount impressed for a stock truck what it can do coming from a tundra built prerunner in the dirt world, its a lot of fun. No complaints on my end I am sure the R is a different beast but it’s my fault and already 160 bucks filling up each time would be worse with the V8 every week if that lol

@@987die but…. Smiles per gallon! Lol congrats on your truck, it’s an awesome machine.

I’ve never felt I needed more power with my ecoboost Raptor, it’s not a race car but for off and on road it’s more than adequate for everything I’ve ever done in it

[@qazqaz-kp1xj]

I owned a 2022 Raptor, and now I am confused whether to buy a 2024 Raptor or to buy a 2024 F150 xlt of road. v8 5.0leter Your opinion is important to me and I follow the channel. I use it inside the city and sometimes I go to the deserts

[@whocaresjustdoit]

If you actually take the Raptor off-road, the Ecoboost is already way too powerful. Not sure if the horsepower from the Raptor R is gonna do anything besides making the front heavier. But, of course, most Raptor owners drive their Raptors on the pavement so I suppose V8 is the cool one.

[@BlueDevilBrew]

It depends on the type of “off road.” If it’s desert pre-running, which the Raptor was sort of built for instead of rock crawling, you can always use my HP.

[@johnt6673]

If I recall correctly, ford said 60lbs more weight when the R had 700hp. Now it has 720 same weight, even more fun.

[@rolandb.3989]

Ecoboost is tunable and there’s a market for it. Upgrade the turbos, downpipes, tune, FMIC, some corn fuel and that’s all you need.

[@mrtorque6488]

Ecoboost is enough if you get goosetuned!

[@sKysharKog]

Gen 1 is the bestttt, imo

[@chrisdriner]

My ranger raptor will have 455hp and 536 ft lb torque in a few days and was cheaper (but smaller which I like as I do trails with it)

[@8799crosby]

yes but it will still never be a real raptor

[@Davidb9599]

lmao the the RHO guy

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

RHO is just a whole other level.

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

Yeah below this one if you want to run dunes The twin valve suspension alone is superior to the trx/rho

[@8799crosby]

bilsteins have nothing on fox

[@987die]

It’s not out yet so I wouldn’t base judgement on a video. Only time will tell once people start running them

[@mousie8660]

Not much help if the truck is worth buying

[@JimmyMak]

@@mousie8660 in summary, if you want a fun truck shell out a bit more and get the Raptor R. Might as well get the big v8 while you still can. If you’re looking just for an everyday truck, just get a regular f-150.
