As a 2024 Raptor owner, I’m here to say it’s not a rational choice. I didn’t cross-shop anything else, because I only wanted a truck to light my hair on fire. The Raptor makes me laugh and smile every time I drive it, and that makes it worth every penny.

[@jamielancaster01]

NO I don’t NEED one BUT I want one😃 And last week I bought a 2023 402A Avalanche 3.5L with only 7100 miles on it & garage kept. My neighbor going through a divorce and he took a job in South Korea. I got it for $17,000 off his sticker.

[@rdsii64]

The question in the title is "do you really need a raptor". A tremor IS NOT a budget raptor. If your perfect off road destination is the hills of western North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee, the Tremor is the truck for you. On the other hand if the Glamis dunes or Ocotillo wells is more your jam, the raptor is the truck the truck for you. These are different off road vehicles for different kinds of customers. The raptor is my favorite truck bar none. The catch is if I had the money to do more than talk about buying one, The tremor with the 7KW pro power option is the perfect truck for me.

[@AndyNC]

Can you get the big pro power option in the tremor? I thought this option is only for the powerstroke. But again... if you pick all available options then a lariat, platinum or limited are in the same price range as the raptor and a full spec tremor is not far away from the raptor. If you need it is not the question... "Do you want it?" is the question.

[@dansievers5915]

Push buttons on the tailgate is not always practical. Toyota is putting them by the taillights. I love that.

[@vickyn8162]

The hood vents are functional!

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

Not teally

[@jakes24o69]

Looks great, price is insane. Sad they went away from XLT trim levels for the single cab short beds. Would be cool if Ford offered premium trims for regular cabs. My Tacoma will get me back and forth to work for the 250,000 miles, and my '02 F350 will continue to do all the hauling I need it too. For less than this truck cost by itself.

[@OutbackExotics]

I would like that as well but it’s not super popular

[@JT012]

The running boards are great, especially in areas where it snows. Easy to stomp the snow off of my feet before I get in the truck. In addition it helps the kids get in.

[@brianurness6747]

Other best part about the running boards are that no one can ding your doors. I’ll never rock crawl and use them for that, but they are good daily driver armor

[@psosa26]

I love every F150 2019-present with a little lift and tires..everything else is a plus

[@Jay-me7gw]

No you don’t need a raptor unless you are running in the wide open desert. I was trying to find a truck that could both tow and offroad well and test drove two supercab raptors(the short wheelbase ones) and it was immediately apparent that they would be worthless on half the trails I run. Even with the super short wheelbase of the supercab, it’s still just so wide. I had a regular F150 before and even that was big for a lot of trails. I ended up in an LX570, which is 3.5” narrower than a normal half ton, and that’s a pretty happy medium. It still tows extremely well but has a super short wheel base and insane turning radius and can get down most any trail

[@pete6705]

This is on my list of possible next vehicles. But I still haven’t decided if I’m going truck or sedan

[@TangibleExistence]

Tremor 5.0 + Whipple….no V6

[@Nate-zy5ce]

I've been wanting the 2024 or 2025 Tremor when it comes out, but have been leaning towards the Platinum to be able to get the Powerboost engine. Someone said they heard the Powerboost engine would be an option for the Tremor in the 2025 model. Do you know if this is true? Whichever I get I plan to do a 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" level and get larger 35 tires w/ just a bit more poke after market, though the Tremor is tempting just as is. A beautiful vehicle, and its off road capability, though not a Raptor, exceeds that of the FX4 package so better than the Platinum in that regard. I didn't know those hood vents are not functional, just cosmetic. That sucks.

[@AndyNC]

I'm thinking the same. Will buy a new one in the next weeks and have not decided yet if I want a nice lariat, platinum or tremor... I like the look of the tremor and that is in between all the other top trims...

[@RockyBaker-ze9td]

❤Thank you for sharing Beautiful truck love you all God bless you

[@cccatch-js8xb]

Maybe they can get Kevin Bacon to be truck spokesman.

[@kumudukulasekara6684]

Please buy these vehicles. The economy depends on high spending behavior.

[@bajaboater7836]

It’s a nice truck yes but it’s got STX headlights. I bailed on it and traded my 23 lariat and ordered a 25 lariat

[@OutbackExotics]

I think the front looks better to each there own tho

[@JT012]

The V8 has the 'kick stand' as well.

[@jasonjonathan78]

Not a proper truck without a V8 and V8 rumble. V6 sounds terrible.

[@commonduck10]

Why would you remove the vents on the hood? Holes in the hood…

[@Jinchuricki27]

95% of the people in the market for a pick up don't need one.

[@tudoralexandrubartes5119]

Ford still have great pick ups,but i feel like they are robing us for some years with the prices and less quality.

[@commonduck10]

No engine cover

[@JT012]

They had covers that were a foam. Squirrels and mice loved them. My 5.0 Coyote has a hard plastic engine cove, which has been left alone.

[@android-ud2nf]

This thing is the 1/4 the cost of a new home where I live. I can’t afford a home fianaced for 30 years and I def can’t afford this financed for 5-6 years. Fords decision to sell less trucks but mark the ones they do way up is ruining the affordability.

[@georgeszurbach444]

Do you need a F150 to start with ?

[@Sasquatchflow]

Ik I’ll never buy new again! I’ve had two new vehicles over the years and it’s not worth the extra money at all!

[@bcw686]

Justification for getting the V8 is better reliability, family member is a master mechanic who works at Carmax. He sees all kinds of cars and trucks, he said all of the ecoboosts are trash. He constantly sees the 3.5 and 2.7 in for repairs, and I am not saying the V8 is without its own issues but they last longer on average.

[@MANTRAKKK]

cool

[@rickybryan1759]

The size of this thing for a non American

[@Freddy2TakeOff]

Hi :) ... Maybe you heard of the new Capri, which Ford plans to introduce as of 2025; it'll be an SUV-EV with the iconic name of a sports-coupé, which was built from 1967 to 1987. Sadly, the design is very dull and though a graphic design like you, named @Theottle, has at least corrected the shitty SUV-shape back to a sleek 2-door coupe, it remains dull: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmqpgpSpbLydpNk Which is why, I'd like to know, if you could draw an adequate Capri in memory of the original, based on that coupe-sketch from Theottle? Would be amazing to see that & maybe Ford will recognize, that they're about to enter the market with a model, nobody wants. Tyvm :) Freddy

[@redhunnid5142]

$66K for that bs Ford has lost their mind it literally looks a $25K-$30K truck nothing about this truck looks like $66K 😂😂😂

[@CapELarry]

Ok keyboard warrior. When you come out of your basement you’ll realize things have changed. That price range could barely get you a Camry or Corolla.

[@jesusmelchor7681]

Stay with your cheap vehicle then man! Obviously you can’t afford it then why even comment 😂

[@redhunnid5142]

@@jesusmelchor7681 It just looks cheap for that much money bro I expect more it has nothing to do with me being able to afford it I have a GMC Denali I’ve been looking at Ford lately that’s all I just don’t like the direction they’re going I see cheap materials being charged for more than what it’s worth I just happen to leave a video of the new 2024 Ford F-150 Shelby off road and this popped up

[@vickyn8162]

Its NOT about how it looks. It's about what it can DO!!!!

[@muddwhistle7833]

Thank Joe Biden

[@MaticTheProto]

a true car designer wouldn't simp about a generic utility vehicle

[@SuperDave-pe1zw]

Big trucks need a V8 not a turbo 6... V8 will last way longer, I've heard nothing good about the turbo motor after a couple of years 😳

[@Mikey-iy7sj]

I just bought the 2023 tremor, my previous f150 I put 100,000 miles on it and owned it for 9 years. It was a echoboost and no issues! Now you heard someone say a good thing about it! I hate to tell you v8 is going out. Dodge is stopping thier v8 and you will see others to follow. F150 isn’t considered really a big truck. Half tons are considered a full size truck, now you go with the F250 and up.. That’s a big truck

[@dansievers5915]

I think the Tremor should have a leveling kit.

[@JT012]

The rake is for payload. Levels when full.

[@AlexNishi-hb2ne]

When is Ford gonna make an actual new f150? Same body style since 2009 they just change the front and rear lights.

[@redhunnid5142]

What’s the point it’s a truck lol

[@AlexNishi-hb2ne]

@@redhunnid5142 a truck that keeps going up in price every year for the same design since 2009.

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

It looks good

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Problem is they will change it and make it look worse. The current f150 is a nice clean look.
