Yes please, more update videos. I am curious about longevity and reliability. So I’m gonna say that you have not had an issue with heat soak that I have heard about.

[@dougfa3515]

Love the Raptor updates! I missed this one when it came out... just seeing it now. Good stuff, man.

[@PineknotterJim]

In what world can you give this guy a "thumbs down" on this or any of his videos?! Very concise, so knowledgeable.

[@americantrucks]

Hey thanks J.A.! Unfortunately you can't please everyone, every time- especially on the internet lol. We'll just keep trying our best to make quality videos to support the site and help you guys along the way! Appreciate it man. -Justin

[@sk8er2420]

If you’re a jealous Chevy owner...

[@THE_TURTLE.]

I like that this dude has sway away shocks, kings and fox are the most known but there are more options out there for less money and just as much performance 👍

[@americantrucks]

Thanks Eric- I've been pleased with them. -Justin

[@benmaldonadoiii5596]

Keep the Raptor videos coming!

[@colinmullins9155]

I am loving this channel more and more every video I watch. Came from American muscle, but I think this truck content is better. You have definitely made me lean more towards a truck than a mustang...

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for the love, Colin! We appreciate it! -Zach

[@cbalano]

Nice video. I watched it to the end and felt like I wanted more.

[@johnmorrison8351]

Cool to see an honest real world review. I just got a 2019 last week and will be doing similar modifications down the line 👍

[@americantrucks]

Awesome John- you'll love it. Whats the first round of mods? -Justin

[@johnmorrison8351]

So far all I have ordered is a Leer100XQ topper. The next thing I would like will be window tints and a Cobb Stage 2 kit. Then lighting with bumpers, wheels, brakes and suspension last... It’s going to happen pretty slowly, which will give me plenty of time to keep changing my mind on exactly what I want

[@alextrainor2552]

Ridge grapplers are awsome

[@mewho4393]

Truck is sick. Definitely considering the brake upgrade probably will be the first major change I’ll make

[@carlosromo179]

Love your videos man! Keep grinding :)

[@ShelbyDude1]

Hahaha...I know what you mean about "limited" offroad driving. I have an older Raptor and bought it with the best of intentions to be off-road every weekend slinging mud...climbing steep hills...high speed desert stuff. 125,000 miles later and I've been off the pavement about 3 times. But at least it looks good going down the Interstate----LOL. Very nice video, Justin. Thanks for posting.

[@americantrucks]

Haha, I'm glad you can relate! Thanks for watching and for the kind words. -Justin

[@johnt6673]

Need some more offroad videos. I love my stock 17 raptor. Your truck is awesome.

[@rarityd]

please let me know if your awesome Alcon kit would also work with the gen 2 stock 17 wheels? thank you

[@cameron22322]

Please get more content up of this monster! Great videos, keep em up!

[@americantrucks]

We're working on it brother- thanks for the kind words! -Justin

[@cameron22322]

@@americantrucks Justin, I'm picking up a 17' 802 in MA this weekend however I'm located in NJ. I think your over in PA? It would be awesome to do a video with the raptor on local places to take it in the NJ/PA area??

dont loose faith Justin, 2022 Raptor R 5.2L supercharged, no more games

[@dansan382]

Looks like you took a nice ride down route 29 and business 30! I'm always down there, hopefully I get to see this raptor driving around!

[@americantrucks]

Haha, good eye! I'm on those roads every day. -Justin

What brand rims do you have and what are they called? @AmericanTrucks Ford

[@andrewboyt-cullis6516]

Looks like the lane holding is good on this truck, seeing as he talks using his hands haha

Здравствуйте а можете снять про топливную систему и электронные ошибки???

[@cheeznhard]

Great video /update 👍

[@lindasanford9928]

Awesome Looking Ride

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

How long you planning on keeping this bad boy Justin?

[@dozereo2479]

What's your advice regarding tuning and warranties? I just bought an '18 and want to tune it but don't want to void any warranty. I've been told that it can vary from dealer to dealer whether not or my warranty will be valid after a stage 1 tune. Anyone here have any input or experiences they want to share? Thanks in advance!

[@markely7587]

It’s sad that you don’t off road that truck. Upgraded shocks, better tires, what the point if it isn’t taken off road?. Ship it to me in AZ and I’ll off road it for you.

[@americantrucks]

[@aliecerfalcon9481]

question: why you didnt when with ctsv caliper 6 piston front 4 back $2000 new from ebay and another grand for rotors ...

[@edmeyer4800]

Trying understand what your talking about? Are you saying the breaks from CTSV Cadillac fit the gen 2 Raptor ?

[@aliecerfalcon9481]

Which part of “calipers” you don’t understand?

Lay off the drugs

[@shanedunn4110]

Mine looks just like this, just got it 2 weeks ago. It's white as well. I'm an 18 guy, with 54k miles lol.

[@americantrucks]

Nice Shane! How you liking it so far? -Justin

[@shanedunn4110]

@@americantrucks absolutely love it. It's very fun to drive , and I can't wait to go off road. Also, it always puts a smile on my face when I come out of my house or a store when I see it. I'm not much of a material person, but I make an exception when it comes to the raptor, I have wanted one since 2010, and feels pretty special to own. one.

[@graphguy]

Love that rig! How do you get in the garage with the wife's car?! If I lived in baja country totally makes sense, but here is the Sierra it seems to big for our trails.

[@americantrucks]

Haha- unfortunately the garage thing is never going to happen with this beast. Thanks for the kind words and the view Graph Guy! -Justin

[@SolidMikeP]

Bro, can you sell this to me when you are done with it? I can probably afford it in 2021.

[@_Bandido1911]

Solid Mike P same 😂👍

[@drainmonkeys385]

That’s funny..l. Because now it is 2021. And it’s worth more that he paid for it... seriously

[@Khaled-tx5xj]

Is the raptor wider than H2 stock ?

[@americantrucks]

It is- and its nearly as wide as an H1 (86.3 vs. 86.5...H2 is 81.2 for reference). -Justin

[@bertraminc9412]

It’s too bad the interior is so damn cheap. The B&O Play is a huge improvement but the interior is rock bottom quality. Ford never really has had quality interior. It’s really too bad, but it is a Ford after all.

[@americantrucks]

Really? I think compared to the previous gen its a nice step forward- but maybe its just me. Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@bertraminc9412]

Yes. It’s mostly plastic and fake leather. The door panels are cheap and the carbon insert has little to no thought. It feels like a random thought poorly engineered. There needs to be a quality leather option for the interior and the dirty feeling air conditioning vent surround coating is a plastic part as well. The interior is absolutely awful for a 71k truck. It’s really pathetic and suckers still buy it so Ford continues to cheapen it down in their primary objective.... which has NEVER been about quality, but only quantity and profit. American auto manufacture doesn’t care about you and quality. It’s about them and quantity. They know they can make considerable profit on service as well.

[@alextrainor2552]

Umm, all truck manufacturers are cheap like this.

[@bertraminc9412]

Umm, I agree with that. The reason for this is inherent American business philosophy. Americans have never build a car based upon quality. It has always been about quantity , not quality. And continuing this philosophy is the low standards typical American truck buyer who is enabling this awful cheap industry. If Americans stopped buying cheap trucks, these low character manufacturers would have to increase quality. It's the opposite as proven by the Raptor. Ford has done nothing to increase the quality and based upon trucks sold, they've actually increased prices to over 70k for a terribly cheap truck. They are rusted on the new car lots and have a history of leaking oil due to the high pressure of the EcoBoost turbo engine. This should have been identified and corrected before release but that would cost Ford money. There is little to no effort to hold a design until the flaws are corrected using testing. They put in out to the public and let the flaws manifest by using the buyer as a test and evaluation sucker. Then they correct your fucked up truck with a recall. They had Ford trucks with suicide doors actually open up going down the highway. Drivers fell out of Ford trucks onto the road but THIS is the philosophy of American auto manufacturers instead of high quality and tested products BEFORE release. They don't have meetings to discuss your life... they have meetings to discuss how much profit they can make, period.

[@cameronz717]

Not cheap at all
