"Cheapest New F150 Raptor" 2024 Ford F150 Raptor Base Trim Is The Real Deal?!

[@David-zm9jf]

Just took delivery of my 2024 F 150 Raptor. Ordered 2/19/24. Only option sprayed in factory bed liner. The truck is everything you described in your review. Can’t wait to get to Utah to learn how to drive it.

[@MP-lg6xh]

At, above, or below MSRP?

[@sonnyjay1347]

How ya like it? 35s or 37s?

[@_not_sure_]

you should've taken it to a specialist for the bedliner. some dealers just spray over the paint. hope you didn't waste your money

[@alexmar1382]

The base Raptor is more practical for daily driving and like you mentioned you can actually park it inside most standard garage even though it barely fits in mine and need to be in reverse. As for the color, I'm the opposite; I like the darker or neutral colors and stay away from "hey look at me" attention colors.

The twin turbo 3.5 is a fantastic engine. 450 hp, 520ft lbs torque and sounds like a V8. Kudos to the Ford engineers!

[@alexandercura1523]

in the U.S. the regular F-150 has gotten so overpriced that the base raptor seems like a good value. For example, an F-150 Tremor is the $80k and a similar equipment Raptor is $82k…

[@SamCarLegion]

Crazy

[@coramsauto]

💯 agree to this. My first thought when I saw the Raptor price. It hasn't increased as much as the others.

[@joshharrison1160]

aren't the two versions the same size except for the tires? so you could get the smaller tires on the V8 if you need the smaller size

[@987die]

The 37 package has different seats and carbon fiber in the interior and the dual valve shocks that are different and it’s geared for the 37’s. Different front modular bumper.

[@benjaminbrown7127]

Ford is proving you can make a V6 truck sound almost just as good as a V8

[@SamCarLegion]

Agreed

[@asamper369]

I wouldnt say sound as good or better than a v8.. i would say they are making a v6 sound amazing. The v8 has a different sound and no matter what anyone does. A v6 and a v8 sound different. But i dont think thats a bad thing. It def sounds awesome.

[@benjaminbrown7127]

yeah thats true@@asamper369

Are you joking?

[@TJ-po9ol]

The base Raptor doesn't get the dual valve shocks, sadly. You can look up what they look like. Need to get the package with the 37's and it has dual valve.

[@booster222jc]

You're correct. I have driven them both and I actually prefer the ride and handling characteristics of the 35 inch base package. It feels lighter on it's feet and quicker steering. Now, that is on the street and I'm sure the dual valves and 37s would payoff in the offroad environment.

[@itzbensolo]

@@TJ-po9ol that was my question as well now answered.

[@ryanhoeven7826]

@booster222jc trick is to buy a 37, and ditch the tires and put on 35s

[@michaelfrock2473]

Great review. I would love that V8 but 40k more for it when as you have show the 6 is pretty good as well.

[@SamCarLegion]

V6 is more usable

[@anilbouri1485]

nicely done! enjoyed the video thoroughly!

[@TheMooFam]

Just bought a ‘24. I’ve had every raptor made and it’s by far the best overall. I had the OG 6.2. Best engine choice ford made but the 24 ride and interior makes you forget quickly. They finally made the 3.5 sound decent enough to enjoy. I couldn’t find a Raptor R to buy or I would have. With that said, the price of the base Raptor is a “deal” in today’s market. I got the 35 package. The 37 pkg made no sense to me. If you go 37’s you must get the V8 in my opinion.

[@ohnoayotaylo]

Just bought mine yesterday! Shelter green with decal delete, pano roof, & spray-in liner at… MSRP 🥳 (in New Jersey nonetheless!)

I own a 22 37 truck. I love it. I’m gonna wait to see what the next gen will bring. The facelift is not enough to make me trade in. I will say something I noticed on the test truck… the sheet metal is horrible. You can see the waves in the “military grade” aluminum.

The base Raptor don’t get the dual live valve suspension. Just the 37 and R

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Do you know, could I put a large cold air intake into the 35 or 37 Raptor and get a bit more power and maybe one or two mpg better? Is it even possible? Thanks.

[@kenwolf2431]

To get the new dual shock Raptor you have to get the 37's. You can always put the base wheels on the Raptor R to make it lower to fit in your garage.

[@harisjaved1379]

Hi Sam I have a m550i but we need a truck, does this raptor have enough space for car seats? How large is the bed size? Thanks

[@ProjectBaggedRice]

I feel like this is a question to ask a sales advisor at ford :)

[@harisjaved1379]

@@ProjectBaggedRice yes I am going there, I am just abroad at the moment.

[@garys2157]

Same size as any F150, rear seat space is huge, bed is 5'6", the Raptor does lose payload and towing capacity compared to other F150's, The Tremor is a nice alternative available with both the EB and the 5.0, and some features from the Raptor.

15:23 that is not the new dual valve live valve ! You can clearly see it only has one black valve and the new dual valve has 2 that are colored red & blue. The dual valve only comes on the 37 package and Raptor R

I have a 23. Im thinking of a 37 package with the next gen (I'm hoping big changes in response to the RHO). 37 package gets dual valve shocks, but you lose 1 inch of travel. Just something to consider if jumping it.

Ummm…not sure where you saw a dual valve there. Dual valves for 2024 are only R and 37 PP. Base Raptor is still single live valve for compression. Edit: after looking at other comments, I realize I’m a bit late to the game. Haha
