Don't buy a Ford F-150 Raptor R until you watch this!

[@OverlandEngineer]

I'm glad I found this channel. I have been looking for these exact builds. Not too many making videos on them!

[@delbaker6072]

What is the price tag for the truck shown in the video?

[@stephenfrost545]

I'm extremely happy with my stage 2 gen5x whippled 5.0 lariat high. Bilstein suspension, method wheels really compliment the truck. If I wanted a full raptor conversion, I would 100% go to you over ford, any day.

[@andres7196]

If you made a custom rear tail that says king raptor instead of king ranch that would be sickkkkkk

[@edmeyer4800]

Is yours getting 0 to 60 3.5 to 3.7 seconds ?

[@johngutormson9619]

As soon as I get a f250. I’m gonna tell you to raptor r it out. ! 🥳🥳🥳

[@BamaCooley]

Awesome work! What’s usually the lead time on one?

[@junior130007]

I need to do this with my 18 f150! Love what you guys are doing 🤘🏽

[@natechops4993]

Keep doing what you're doing Pax

[@paxpowertrucks]

Thanks! We love what we do!

[@seansparks8802]

I would love morre info on what you all are doing on conversions for the raptor r. Really need mire info

[@Jmill88]

I have an 18 raptor and although I love the truck the interiors getting more and more outdated and I really want a v8.. this seems very intriguing

[@alantoledo5908]

Will you guys be coming out with V8 conversions for the new bronco? Thanks 🙏 Killer build

[@paxpowertrucks]

Unfortunately, going to take a crazy big budget to make that happen on the new Broncos. Have to re-engineer quite a bit of the vehicle.

[@erin7995]

but who will win in a drag race?

[@tommypavlovsky5925]

Are you a licensed shop that keeps the truck under warranty with a whipple install?

[@paxpowertrucks]

Yes, we also self warranty our supercharged builds and think we have best coverage in industry.

[@Six.fo-1988]

Do you keep payload and some of the tow capacity with this conversion?

[@CaptainDisowned]

Does this work with a Powerboost?

[@blowe85206]

I get it..but the tailgate not matching the front end makes it look tacky imo. Looks like a raptor got in a reck and could only get the king ranch tailgate.

[@robertkifan4376]

I bet this is the same price point if not more than the raptor r! Also putting the old gen2 suspension that’s not active! You could find gen2 suspension for cheap now. At the end of the day this is not a raptor r and won’t have the same resale value a true raptor holds

[@saradtomlinson764]

Right but it’s one of one. And you can actually get one vs raptor r

[@Antho-R22]

The 5 link rear is kind of a big deal.

[@blankiyomadrid]

It says don’t buy one but I can’t even afford one

[@erickdowns1842]

Interested. Do your converstions include the different drive modes that the Raptor has (Baja, Sport, Rock Crawl, etc.)? Thank you in advance.

[@paxpowertrucks]

Yes, most of the modes were introduced on F150s with the 2018 and 10-speed. Baja is only on Raptors for marketing purposes, but you can recreate the same mode in an F150.

[@erickdowns1842]

@@paxpowertrucks I currently have a 2018 Roush Raptor and was wondering about converting it to a V-8.

[@Antonio20605]

Que combinación más loca

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

Where the R will beat this is in actual resale if that happens....but nice ride nonetheless.....

[@scottowens4411]

Try selling it in two years after you paid the 50k dealer markup. Who would have the better overall value on resale then. See my point.

[@ronsouza9309]

Yeah, its not just about the style or the power, the frame and the hardened areas of the Raptor R is what makes it what it is. Plus the live valve shocks. I would still buy a Raptor R over your truck

[@paxpowertrucks]

There is no special Raptor frame. All F150 frames are practically identical after 2015 when they became fully boxed. We can use LiveValve shocks on our conversions if the customer would like. The non-LiveValve ride a lot better, so are best suited for most of our customers.

[@CrisAnderson27]

@@paxpowertrucks So Ford just lies and says the frame is specially reinforced compared to the factory F150's?

[@stephenfrost545]

@@CrisAnderson27Yes. I was there for the unboxing of the gen 3 raptor. Theres nothing different in regards to the frame, besides small tweaks for mounting, suspension etc. You're paying 200K for a supercharged, v8, widebody f150.

[@KurtMalalis]

GMC jackal is better than raptor R

[@marcdanieltheriault3955]

[@seadoomania]

Why bother just buy a TRX

[@jimh.412]

Because it's still just a TRX.🙄

[@stephenfrost545]

TRX is a worse vehicle in every way and still more expensive. I've owned both and I daily a 775hp gen5x whipple 5.0.

[@casper24ism]

Look at that truck it has no heart no way that truck will out perform an R
