ito ang tunay na "honest" review! does not rely on what the manufacturer's post on their website! very informative, answered all the questions on my mind. more cooking show with the raptor uncle Peter!

BEST REVIEW OF THE RAPTOR!!! And your dad is so supportive. So lucky!!

[@elijahestrellanes4261]

i love the honesty of this review. not a ford fan but I love the looks of the raptor ever since it was released few years ago (older model) and its good to hear from an owner and not just a vlogger who reviews borrowed car, owning it really makes you a real reviewer by using it for days instead of just few hours.

[@FranzGaw]

Doing reviews like this is probably the reason why I never get lend outs 😅🤣

[@tupeskib1022]

This is the first Ford ranger raptor review that I actually like and enjoy considering that I'm not really a ford guy. Some reviews tends to give out praises without justifying it on their review. But you guys really gave out an awesome review. Straight to the point pros and cons. Especially on that rev overhang which IMO can be a bit annoying which I also didn't hear from other reviewers. Kudos to you guys!

[@FranzGaw]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Now if only we could make more of these honest reviews with other brand new cars 😅

[@atomedina]

This is what I'm looking forward to when my son is on legal age to buy a car. Enjoyed watching this father and son. good job! :)

10:59 The key cut out at the bottom of the center console is used to start the vehicle if your key fob goes dead or if the vehicle is not able to detect the key, maybe because you’re in a garage.

[@FranzGaw]

Thank you so much for sharing! 👍

[@Toyotards]

Nakalimutan ko yung exact term jan eh. I think "key profile" ata. you have to set your settings e.g. speed limit, seat adjustment, driving settings etc. para kapag kunware pinahiram or iba ang gagamit is may sariling preference. ibang driver ibang settings.

[@vcasipong]

Franz thanks i found your channel..straight away you got me subscribed. Since yesterday i was viewing the raptor new gen..choosing color between the "absolute black" and "code orange"...but i think i prefer the orange color. Do you have any idea "but i believe you do have" how much is the top of the line now? For example instead of dp of 20% i will do it by 80%. Is there any discounts so far? Promotional discounts etc. Thank you sir.

[@rudys1209]

I own the previous raptor also and I sold it already. It has also the same with throtle overun and the aircon becomes smelly after 2 years. I got it cleaned pero bumabalik ang amoy amag after 5 months. Malakas mag produce ng moisture ang condenser dahil super lamig ang ac kahit summer. They also found out 2 of the fuel injectors are not performing well but in fairness pinalitan naman kasi under warranty pa. Malakas sa diesel even in highway pag tumakbo ka ng 100kph and above you will consume 8-9kpl. Parang hindi magagamit yun 10th gear sa high speed because of high fuel consumption. Ride quality is even better than sedan. Mahirap ipark sa mall dahil sobrang laki. Steering is good kahit malaki ang tire pero hindi ganong responsive pag tinapakan mo ang gas pedal.

[@youHaveNoEnemies214]

If you regularly do offroading Raptor is a good truck, but if you're just casually driving in the streets and will actually never do any offroading then the Wildtrak with the same 2.0 bi-turbo engine as the Raptor's, is more suitable, functional specially with the stepboard on the side of the cargo bay, and has a more comfortable interior.

[@tennesseetravelr]

Rear Arm Rest suggestion... If sitting in the rear passenger seat, reach across with right fore finger and take the loop, use left elbow to push toward the rear near the top of the arm rest. I think, with rear-ward pressure on the arm rest it will easily release. Try it and let me know?

[@dreilabradores2893]

V6 petrol engine is a different beast, you’ll definitely trade it in if it comes out in the phils😉

[@dahlgarcia2737]

[@lycanszpeedforcemotovlog7668]

And with regards to the exhaust vent on the sides and on the hood, it's functional and not fake, you can see it under the hood 😉..

[@KazuharaShiro]

That's what I thought as well but I just double checked today and make sure, unfortunately they didn't make the vents functional for the 2.0L diesel variant, at least on the side vents. I haven't properly checked yet on the hood.

Code orange actually what sets it apart from the other ranger variants. Other variants can change the grille part to look like a raptor but it would be hard to change the color ehehehe. Kaya yan din ang pinili kong color. And also very true about the suspension on this vehicle. Sa ibang sasakyan I always try to avoid speed bumps and metal plates on the road pero dito parang excited pa ako cause the fox suspension absorbs the impact so well.

[@FranzGaw]

Code Orange ftw! 👌

Mods nalang ang sagot sa cabin rain noise. Pwede tanggalin ang headliner and dikitan ng sound deadening mats (kahit 3mm thickness) ang roof. Malaking pagbabago ang ma notice.

[@janrycajigal6876]

[@jengee5875]

One reason why I chose the Navara over the new ranger wildtrak is because of the seats at the back. Big difference in terms of seating position and comfort. Anyway, Congratulations and Nice truck! 😉

[@AlphaVirgo8]

is the ranger wildtrak rear seat is the same with ford raptor rear seat thats in the video? is it a stiff angle also? so it will be uncomfortable for the passengers to seat too. because the ranger wildtrak was one of my choices to buy soon.

[@ErnestMarvinEsteban]

@@AlphaVirgo8 same lang yan. Mas maluwag at mas inclined pa nga sa raptor haha. Trust me i have both

[@AlphaVirgo8]

@@ErnestMarvinEsteban really? magkaiba pa pala sila? pero same na ford lng naman yan haha. So you really have both pala bro? na-experience mo same na umupo sa back seat? may mga complain ba passengers mo sa backseat is it really uncomfortable ba? I wanted the ranger wildtrak too. its one of my choices to buy soon. and tell me do you have issues/problems na ba bro? also in raptor? balita ko kasi may reliability problems daw tlaga ang mga ford. and ang hirap daw humanap ng piyesa nito pag may nasira? pero gusto ko parin sya. do you encounter? thank you for the reply bro

[@raycuizon8226]

How's the engine? Seriously thinking of getting this truck when I come back next year in the Philippines but my concern is the size engine. 2.0 liter is very small for the size of that truck. I wouldn't even own cars with less than 5.0 liter. My current daily driver has a 6.2 liter engine. Could it tow a decent size boat? I'm not really a features type of guy. I prefer performance and power when it comes to vehicles.

That's a shame that Philippines didn't get the v6. The reason I didn't get the last gen was because of the 4cyl bi turbo engine.

Im looking at The raptor, GR-s Hills or the new Triton athlete. I can deal with all the negatives accept that throttle overrun. Thats something that could give problems after the warranty runs out. If you ever have issues with that please let us know. No vehicle is supposed to do that. First time I've heard of a vehicle doing that naturally and not be something wrong

Excellent review Franz. I've been waiting to watch a honest purchase review like this. You and one other tuber did some honest take on this truck since,...oh i dunno why some mainstream car channels didn't do some *REAL* day-in-the life review of this truck. Im wondering if Ford somehow withhold some review units from them,...kinda something odd about this. Coz its like there are *MORE* than 10 dedicated channels for car alone in the country yet not one of them did a follow up drive after that impressions vid in Taguig. And, oh YOU did a perfect review for this truck....in the rain and considering the horrible conditions our roads have on that type of weather that it WAS a perfect opportunity to showcase this trucks strengths. And oh, i think the diesel mill *IS* perfect for this truck which the vast majority of them ends up as an urban crawler anyway. Id bet no less than 13% or so will trash it in Paoay Dunes or Pampanga riverbed or something similar. 😉 The only thing that dings this truck is the maybe questionable transmission, noisy roofline as you have shown and *NOOO* B&O sound system which can be *perfectly* useful while stuck in the rain,....and the horrible EDSA/Metro Manila Traffic. And oh, will you do a trail test with this one like you did with the Raize Franz 🤔😉😉 Overall this review is 💯!!

[@FranzGaw]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Being brutally honest is good for you guys but for us KZbinrs, it actually disencourages car brands to give us lend outs. This was only possible because we actually bought the car. If it was a lend out from any car brand, I don't think there would be a second time for me. 😅 Yup we'll take it to the trails soon 👍
