None. Basic F150 (XL/STX) with 2" lift ($500), valance removal (free), and aftermarket tires that I was able to choose myself. And, you can get the 5.0 if you want it. Way under $50k new. Just as offroad worthy as FX4/Tremor for 99% of us.

Josh #stoneyridgefarmer Raptor! Once you own one...tough to go back. Mine 17.8 mpg highway. If you're buying a $80k pickup for fuel economy...seek out a 2005 ford ranger 4cyl my friend and save some money....you're buying a Raptor because it's a very sexy supertruck. Drove through the most recent snow storm on the east coast...felt so safe and comfy. I agree..if ya live in downtown San Francisco ya don't need a raptor, comfy, roomy and sexy...fuel economy of a Toyota Tacoma!

[@shawnvsshawn3573]

Totally agree. I understand the video shows functionality and thats the premise, but no one buys a raptor for its city functionality. I bought one because I think they look, sound, and feel awesome to drive. I love taking it on road trips because the ride is so smooth, you don't feel anything! Loads of space and it has the available power when I want to get up and go to merge or whatever. The fact that its such a capable offroad vehicle straight out of the factory is a pleasant positive, but there's a lot to like about this truck even in city driving.

[@db09jku]

I went with the 2021 XLT with Sport and FX4 with an upgraded 20" wheel, upgraded the street tires to BFG AT KO2's, and leveled it. It has surprised me in fields heading to the duck blinds. Idealy I would go with the Tremor, but due to some issues with getting in and out with my wife, I stayed with the one I got. Ground clearance aside, these 4wd systems are fantastic on these trucks. Oh and the front air dam you were worried about on the FX4....it can take some pretty good hits!!! Trust me!! Great review of some actual off roading!

[@Cooldibs]

I removed my air dam, looks much better without it!

[@peruser155]

If you're comparing ground clearance, install some rear blocks for the cost of a steak dinner, and you'll have Tremor ground clearance with your front leveling kit! I agree with your recipe, but mine starts with a sub-50k STX crew 4x4 instead. As you say; better tires, 2" lift (for 90 bucks I've ALWAYS lifted the rear along with the front--such a no-brainer and just looks right), and remove valance, and you've got a Tremor for TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LESS.

[@lackingpoint]

I did something similar with my 21 Lariat FX4. Added a 2.5 inch level and a Roadmaster Active Suspension which raised the rear lightly. The truck sets almost perfectly level with a very slight rake. Put some 285/65-20 Faulken Wildpeak AT3 that measure at 34.6" gives near Tremor stance and performance.

[@peruser155]

@@lackingpoint A "slight rake" is perfectly fine. Heck I prefer a pronounced rake even. Pickup trucks have had a rake for over 100 years. Although they do make vehicles with zero rake; they are called passenger cars. ;)

[@prometheusfallen]

Right. Because, literally, a lift kit is the only difference between these three in terms of off road capabilities. 🤣

[@bobdennis4801]

I believe the Tremor sounds louder because it has last generation Raptor exhaust. It’s got the same HP as non Tremor 3.5 Ecoboost pickups so I don’t think it’s tuned for more power.

[@MambaBlanca]

The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor goes 0-60 in 5.2 mph and the turning radius is actually less than the Tremor and FX4. I'm not sure if he is testing the 2022 or 2023 but seeing how nothing really changed between years, I'm not sure where he is getting his info from. The tires and suspension on the Raptor actually make it one of the smoothest riding trucks out there for everyday driving, plus its only wider by a few extra inches on each side which doesn't really change anything when parking. Also, he shouldn't let personal biases affect his testing, such as his short height. Overall, you get what you pay for.

It's very specific when you can go hands off and hands on just to touch - 2 hands - on the wheel when it's steering is not worth it. Now, in rush hour with no hands or pedals it rocks.

I chose the raptor because I love off roading, and it looks better than the fx4 and tremor. But if you want a truck with very good offroad and more fuel efficiency than the raptor and more towing capability than the raptor. You can also choose the tremor. And if you usually don't go offroad you can choose the fx4 which is very fuel efficient and easier to drive.

Fx4s have an amazing suspension for off-road traveling

[@peruser155]

Brandon Macon Could you please enlighten me on how it's different from a base F150? "Different shocks?" "Skid plate?" You say the suspension works so well with FX4. Is it just monotube shocks versus standard-issue F150 shocks that make the package worth it and amazing? Honest answer please. I'm considering the package, but on paper it looks like another gimmick package. No real world difference to me. Standard XL F150's are just so capable right out of the box, and probably go anywhere you would take one with an FX4 decal on the side. Just wondering if anyone has actual experience where they can honestly say they went somewhere that, in their opinion, a regular 4x4 F150 would not have made it. Before I spend the extra money. Thanks.

[@mrjon75]

Those are ALL awesome trucks! I'd be stoked to own any one of them. As an 04 F150 4x4 owner (bought new) who loves his truck but not the combined 13 mph, I'd get that FX4. I drive a lot, in and around Houston, and the narrower than Raptor size would be more pleasant. FX4 could still handle trips at my brother's Hill Country acreage and trips to the ski slopes in style. Now if I was my retired brother in the country I'd get that alpha Raptor....

Which one would I want parked in my driveway? The Ford Maverick. I went on a Jeep trail today in a Maverick (with Falken wildpeak AT4’s instead of stock Pirreli Scorpion ATR’s), where I had track width + 18 inches to maneuver between the uphill slope and the edge of the downhill slope, which was 2,000 feet down to the valley floor below at a 45 degree angle, or 100% grade. The “pucker factor” was 8/10. Sliding over the edge would have resulted in a rollover x 20. The Ford Maverick is 1 inch narrower than a Jeep Wrangler. Would I be willing to try it in a full size truck that is 10 inches wider? Hell no! Could a full sized truck made the switch backs up the 25% grade as I climbed from 2,000 feet elevation to 4,000 feet? Probably not. Want to try it yourself in those F-150’s? It’s not that far away. I mean you guys drove from LA to the Gorman SVRA to film this, like 90 miles, right? Try taking these on the Bouquet Canyon OHV trail, 7 miles north of Santa Clarita on Bouquet Canyon Rd. That is only 50 miles from LA. Try that and tell me how you like your 4x4 F-150’s when they scare the absolute fucking shit out of you because of how wide they are. Want a baby weekend warrior truck for camping that can off-road, still drive nice on road and still get decent mpg? The Maverick beats the F-150. The F-150 is a job-site truck for contractors that need to haul bulky cargo.

[@nickwojtow6787]

The Maverick is one step above a Honda Ridgeline which is the gayest truck on Earth. If you want to do serious off roading just get a Jeep and be done with it. Trying to use trucks for something they were never designed for is just stupid. Might as well compare a Maverick to a Subaru Cross Trek to a Rubicon Jeep. What's the point? They are all built for different things. I'd own a full size truck because of the utility of being able to throw a crapload of camping, hunting, etc. gear in the back and go. I can tow any number of RVs, trailers with ATVs, and boats. Trucks are great for long haul camping/hunting/adventure trips.

[@larzlarz1140]

@@nickwojtow6787 I used to have a 2 door jk rubicon with 37’s, skid plates and a winch. I did the Rubicon trail with it and took it to Moab. If you’re in an off-road club and plan trips to do the most challenging rock gardens, it’s great. The flip side is that it got 13 mpg on the freeway and it would overheat climbing long mountain passes at 70 mph and go into limp mode because of the lift, large tires and bad aero. The inside was also cramped because of the outboard fenders and narrow body. And it had a 2,000 lb towing capacity. It was totally overkill for typical fire roads, sucked on the freeway and sucked with its fuel use. Now I have a Maverick awd with the fx4 off-road package and 4k towing capacity. It is the perfect Swiss Army Knife for being able to bring a camp trailer, pulling it at freeway speeds, still getting better mpg than the Jeep unladen, drive in a comfortable, spacious interior and then also be able to go on national forest service trails without getting stuck. I get much more utility and versatility out of the Maverick than from my Wrangler Rubicon.

The tires on the FX4 are all season 31” and the Tremor 33” All terrain. Unfortunately the FX4 has become more of a trim / decal pkg. I have extensive experience with 2 Gen 2 raptors and a 22 and 23 402A Tremors.

Not offering the hybrid powerboost option on the raptor is understandable. With that said, I think Ford not offering the hybrid powerboost option on the tremor is a mistake. As much as I love an off road worthy truck, ( the raptor is my favorite truck of all time) if I could afford to spend 70K on a new truck, I would buy something with the hybrid powerboost option)

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

It all depends on what you are going to do with the truck and where at. Like you said the street driver champ FX4 is best for basic off road challenges (less nature and more man made dirt roads). I'd definitely go Raptor if huge rocky mountain off road capabilities with rocks challenging driving forward. Notice the axle ratio is wider so that bigger tires on it more match what Hummers or jeeps will possibly outdo F-150s at (note the U.S. military uses Hummers in war more). The other Tremor is only better to use in almost the same rocky mountain terrains as the Raptor but to be able to move fuel efficient on general bumpy dirt roads place to place if there are more man made roads vs nature terrains to drive through daily.

[@peruser155]

What are these "nature terrains" you speak of? In the northwestern U.S., off road is illegal on any public land. HUGE fines and possible jail time, if not a throat punch from a fellow public land owner. This is why I don't own an overpriced Raptor. And I love the looks of them! But I can't justify it when the only roads I drive on are maintained for standard-issue government pickups. You must live near many "offroad terrain parks." I have heard of those.

[@peruser155]

Love that Ford offers something like the Tremor now. However, like Raptor, our local dealers are gouging buyers. Sometimes by $40,000 or more. I've always just put on a 2" lift (front and rear) for $500, then better tires (offroad aggressive tires in 34"). This combination actually gives another inch of ground clearance OVER Tremor, and is within an inch of the Raptor, all for only a couple grand on top of any of the lower priced 4x4 crew F150 trims. I am very interested in someone on the internet doing a COMPARISON EXACTLY like this one, but adding the "poor man's" F150 I just listed. After my previous 2 F150s with this exact recipe, and considering the places I've taken it, all the while saving $10,000 to $40,000 in the process, I would bet it would perform up with Raptor, at least in any of the tests in this video. But I digress, most buyers want it right out of the box. Heck, most buyers wouldn't know where to start in the above modifications, or think it voids warranties (it doesn't). So I suppose these trims are here to stay, and I'll just keep using my savings to buy my wife a new SUV while having a very capable offroader for myself.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Good stuff. How about comparing the Raptor 35 with the Raptor 37 performance package and larger tires? On and off road? Good weather and bad, snowstormy weather? Also, if I was to get the Platinum with the powerboost engine and fx4 package but also level it, maybe 2.5"s, and add larger 35 tires and a small amount of poke, do you think it would still drive smoother and more quietly than the Tremor, especially on highways? If I got the Tremor, I'd likely level it with 35's also. My last choice is just full bore Raptor, but deciding between the 35 and 37 package. My priority is the smoothest, quietest long distance highway drive, but also the confidence of being my go anywhere, anytime, any kind of weather vehicle, on and off road. I don't really go "off roading" per se, but I do go off road to get to destinations, fishing spots, trail heads, campsites, ski areas in terrible blizzards...

[@highwayman1218]

Its the same truck..... It boils down to an extra 1" clearance off road (also 1" less suspension travel) with the 37 package. You already know the rest on road, lower mpg, slightly slower, the usual with a taller / heavier tire. Biggest drawback here in CA is the 10k ADM for 37 Raptors...

[@dmegahan]

I actually like the tremor looks the most. Put some 35s on that tremor and it would be even more of a rock star.

im just now getting into the truck scene i might be coming up on a 2023 fx4 hybrid and i belive if you were to change out the suspension to somehting similar to the raptor you basically get a raptor powerboost, i am excited to learn more about this new platform and i dont think anything could beat that 7.2kw generator

[@Baneslayer]

Take good care of the frame, underside, parts and engine and this truck will love you. I'm still driving my 2011 FX4. It's a BEAST. It's paid off in full and I can mod, upgrade, repair and maintain it all I want. It's literally in the Ford shop right now to have a new timing chain, a few other parts replaced, some parts cleaned and then I'm going to be Line-X spraying the front and rear bumper / rocker panels. I had the bed sprayed when I bought it and put on custom headlights years ago. This F150 FX4 has really gotten me into the upgrading / modding / repairing / maintaining scene. You can literally replace every part on the entire truck with brand new parts straight from Ford.. not to mention the aftermarket scene... There is a reason guys buy Ford F150's and Mustangs :) Easy and cheap to find parts to repair the rest of your life.

The chin strap on the FX4 is simply ridiculous. Remove it, replace the OEM suspension, and add improved 18” tires and the fx4 provides overall best value.

[@2003evodave]

Even though this is supposed to be which is the best off roader to be more comparable they should have compared the 35” tire Raptor vs the 37”. The 35” equipped Raptor gets much better MPG and accelerate faster than the 37s yet still would be the best off roader of the group.
