Fast Off-roading - Stock & Shelby Baja Raptor | Everyday Driver

We've discussed Ford's Raptor many times but haven't ever put one on camera. When we mentioned this to our friends at XPEL, they got us more than we imagined. Join us as we drive in the snow, mud, and high-desert to discuss what happens when off-roading meets supercar tuning.
To get XPEL paint protection film for your truck or car, go to XPEL.com and search for your nearest installer. We have it on our own cars and swear by it.

THIS IS WHAT ITS MADE FOR *goes 35 down a dirt road*

[@crazikyle]

I was thinking that the whole video, my moms minivan could do most of this stuff.

[@DylanTheVillan]

went back and put 2x speed and was much more satisfied

[@raydelarosa1927]

Needs a real driver... Too much truck for some

[@decordejohnson7910]

William Coles exactly !!!💯😂😂😂😂

[@928_tyler]

Tell me y

[@galiailar]

It takes a lot to make a raptor look boring...but you guys did it!

[@Yohanyothan]

That was the most intense puddle splashing I have ever seen. A toyota carolla could handle that road

[@mikeycassey8507]

my old Daihatsu Charade 1.0 liter 3 cylinder bush basher can go faster than that raptor.

[@phillipburns5617]

But....but....but..he got mud on it😄😂😂😂

[@lukecasler7811]

I testify a Toyota Camry can too

[@surpuscristal92]

You could and you would destroy the suspension on the 1st day of doing 55 on that dirt road

[@salehalsayaad]

Toyota Corolla can handle everything

[@deathdog1644]

Yeah, I’m gonna go back to watching Ken Block who knows how to drive ones of these beasts past 25MPH

[@AudioFreqx]

It would take Block 16 hrs of recording time and 400 tries.. but yes.

[@alexwolf8019]

People that own Raptors are probably laughing at you. This was a ridiculous display of its capabilities.

[@Sakitsunebi]

Any respectable truck owner is laughing at this video lol

[@T4nkcommander]

You go faster than this at Raptor Assault, where you drive fords trucks. You could hit the speed limiter on the roads in this video

[@Albertacoshop]

🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@GLo1406]

Most people that own Raptors have probably never taken their trucks off road 😄😄. They're watching this video thinking, "Wow, my truck can go off road?"

[@romanbogdan8872]

You are showing the same puddle 4x in 30 secs

[@daynesandelin5015]

It was a really nice puddle

[@tonem427]

OMG. It hit me when you said it. I just realized ive been watching you guys since 2007, I had only been home a couple of days back to Miami after 3 year of college in CALIFORNIA when i discovered your show... I dont miss an episode. from the 305👌👌👍👍👏💪

[@NissanR33Ztune]

Great to see you guys back .... been a long time coming....

This video is award winning... It wins the award for the only boring video about a raptor ever.

“You can just jump it, becuase it’s Tuesday”. 😂😂

[@tyk5719]

We all know the video of the raptor jump and how that went. Or didn't........

I counted 6 passes through the same puddle in the first 3 minutes. Cool truck, lame footage.

awesome! as usual

[@hellraiserx9490]

I had a 2019 raptor and was totally unimpressed with it kept it about four months and got rid of it bought a Dodge Challenger hellcat redeye now that is a vehicle that really knows what performance is about

[@timephire]

Man that's beautiful!!

[@marcoulibarri5744]

I could watch you guys all day and not get tired...good job.

[@jb1995]

Great video.Best line ever, you can jump it because it’s Tuesday!

[@barrthom603]

Sorry guys Shelby didn't add 3 inches of suspension travel. They raised the front 3 inches but overall travel is 100% same as a stock raptor. The Shelby shocks are 3 inch the same as the stock raptor as well, Also a 2019 Stock raptor suspension live valving technology is far superior to the Shelby Raptor suspension on and off road.

[@taylorthruelsen324]

200 dollar spacer lift... You are right.... Buy a raptor and build it yourself...

[@CoreyAllen77]

Car guys reviewing off-road truck: "this is cool! (I'm totally out of my element)"

[@Shane-Singleton]

I like the look of that Shelby. I know most people think of the mustang but I like to think of the Shelby edition dodge cars from the 80's and 90's. I had an 89 Daytona Shelby that I loved. I wish I still had it.

[@razen944]

I've driven on a more aggressive dirt road at 50kmh in my 2006 Hyundai Sonata

[@R3LF13]

Sometimes I hesitate to click on a video when I know its going to make me particularly jealous. This was such a video, but I'm glad I watched. :-) amazing truck!

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@spade0655]

I think you're amazing 😉

[@trinidadsanchez3342]

Sweet channel 🤘🍺

[@HowToGoSupernova]

I think that the way these videos are made are very different. In a good way. Both if them alternating their opinion is really helpful for getting the view across even when they oppose each other.

[@kuniwata5239]

Thats off load car is so very big. You guy nice video .i enjoy it right now. Men.

[@plk7592]

Nice truck guys, but I gotta tell ya, over the years, driving down dirt roads has somehow equated to going off-road. In this video you had maybe a 15 seconds of this truck actually driving off road. I guess that's suppose to mean it can actually handle going off road, but for me, I gotta see a whole lot more of that kind of driving before I accept its an off road truck. In most of the states in the mid-west, and west, they have a hell of a lot of dirt roads that's considered normal everyday driving, not going off road.

[@rodrigoalmendro3118]

you should watch ken block's vid. You'd like it.

[@joseflores-sx4qw]

yea, but ken blocks truck was not stock he added more travel and bypass shocks, my friends raptor in barstow c.a could not keep up with my xp900 on whoops and hard core bad terrain.

[@T4nkcommander]

@@joseflores-sx4qw you mean a 3 ton truck with 360 cameras, AC seats, and adaptive cruise can't handle really bad stuff like an offroad rig only buggy can? I've hit whoops as least 14" high at 60 tho in my stock Rap, so it is no slouch even still.

[@archetype1931]

Thank you

[@williamm4366]

This should be the official truck for the Daybreakers (in the Daybreak netflix show) that would make this truck so much advertisement worldwide !

[@Yohanyothan]

My driveway poses more of a challenge

[@russellduguesclin2001]

like all the other comments, you guys (EverydayDriver) are amazed by the Raptor driving straight on a dirt road at 25 mph, and then continue to commentate in amazement on the mundane.

[@BDoh]

Thanks for posting gents! This was fun

[@famousmidnight]

I love that it sounds like a Mazda. So aggressive.

[@Jeremy.Nevermore]

What area were the desert scenes filmed?

[@navsigda4030]

I love the stock to tuned comparison, and would like to see it as a more recurring theme for your content. May I ask why you never took it off gravel road? With the features you boasted, I was hoping you'd fling it off the road any second

[@kettlemoose]

Funniest comments section I've seen in a while 😂

[@slaWterCH]

A few years ago I did 100-110km/h on similar terrain, maybe even a bit rougher, in a stock Toyota Hilux. In the South African desert. All day long. I‘d say this doesn’t even use half of the Raptors capabilities 😄

[@Beyond_The_Beard]

Do you have any videos on half ton trucks or heavy duty trucks. Diesel Trucks versus Gas Trucks?

[@josephhampton4070]

Hoping EverydayDriver could help me understand the setup on the grey Raptor at the beginning of the vehicle. The wheels and tires definitely did not look stock and I was wondering if you could share the details? Thank you!

[@westerntui]

You hit those puddles at breakneck speed and that dry gravel oh my gosh it just soaked up the little bumps like they were even smaller little bumps.

[@sedp8710]

I can’t wait to see a Raptor R Shelby Baja

[@floycewhite6991]

I'll run out and buy this for my everyday driver.

[@adamsharif4589]

You’ve managed to make a Shelby F150 Raptor look boring!!! Well done 👏👏👏 That’s some achievement!

[@erichmazon624]

Keep it up guys! Always feel like I'm having fun with you gents.

[@EverydayDriver]

That's our intention. Thank you!

[@marlonpupo3245]

3:20 well I have to admit that when I hear Shelby I think about loud, powerful V8 engines not an ecoboost raptor hahaha

[@wrongwayup8217]

I like the big screen in this one very much. I test drove a raptor the other day and that was my only disappointment.... And it's not as fast as it's reputation would suggest. Still a very nice truck

[@thisisntgood71]

WOW!! PUDDLES!!! CRAZY

[@drew.851]

I used x-pel on my camaro. It’s great

[@joshuaholmes7929]

I don’t know if you guys take requests on cars to do but if you do can you guys do the Tonga edition F-150? I’ve seen pictures of them and a video about how it looks but I’ve never seen videos of the performance.

[@TheReggiegirl]

I love the design on the raptors. Wish I could get one but to expensive

[@davidclark2075]

Lol I'm a new Sub & great work. Should of had u guys on Top Gear US.....might still be on the air. Oh....is one of u 2 a old star on MASH....😁

[@jamesspiller4698]

I just discovered you guys today (09/04/2019).

[@SethHartley]

My dad drifts my neighborhood corners in his Raptor, u have an entire desert to do stuff in and your doing stuff I can do in a Walmart parking lot

[@pix00l]

Well it's not their car

[@brianbirc]

The Raptor is the best off road truck you can buy new. Not cheap ! Shelby does a little improvement like addin 3 inches to the suspension travel . The suspension is the key to off road at higher speed off road. Travel, Shocks, springs and strength. The Raptor travel is 13" front and 13.9" rear on good FOX shocks I personally can not spend 70K or 120K on a vehicle easy. That on a off road truck I would not feel comfortable driving fast over rough in that much money. I have an old full size Bronco I spent some money and a lot of work on. It is not as fancy to take to fine restaurants but nice. New internal balanced and blueprinted 408 AFR heads custom exhaust etc... Built trans and T case, gears, lockers, driveshafts chromoly axles, new performance brakes, all fresh better bearings, seals, u joints hubs and some special upgrades. Glass fenders bedsides and hood. Long travel TTB cut and turned gusseted and plated + some 4x4 with King shocks gives 17-18" front and 18"rear travel. Hi amp alternator for upgraded lights and off road lights a winch and great sound system. Some money probably 30 -40 K for truck and upgrades including a little more planed. A lot of work doing it. To have it done would be way more and I would not have it. What they can do compared to my 5 previous lifted with Ranchos and some upgrades is off the chain amazing. Through 3" whoops at 70 MPH without spilling your drink in control is something I never thought a truck from the 90's and street legal and drives good there too restored like new doing what it can. I get amazed on trips a lot.

[@sandeepbhandarkar8249]

Great video on the super truck and great articulation as well. I really felt like buying after watching your review. Keep up the good work 💪👌😎❤

[@custodianfile]

Great truck, I have two of them, But Ford you should have address and rectified the plastic oil pan leak in all 2017 Raptors. Many Raptor owners are still dealing with this mess.

[@carlopabale22]

Wow i want this shelby baja raptor

[@StreetCruizer]

always a pleasure seeing something from you Paul and Todd. Can we get the new boosted V8 from the GT500 in the next Raptor please?

[@mohamedhussein5190]

StreetCruizer I maybe wrong but I believe Ford has already said it won’t fit

[@stevenp3176]

Mohamed Hussein Unlikely a figment issue. There’s several Superchargers available for the coyote f150 which has much more room in every direction compared to a mustang.

[@mohamedhussein5190]

Steve Pounder true but the GT500 is a 5.2 liter rather than the coyote 5.0. Not a huge displacement increase but still could possible cause packaging or motor mounting issues.

[@stevenp3176]

Mohamed Hussein Block is identical in size externally. Differences are larger bore and slightly longer stroke.

[@stevenp3176]

Mohamed Hussein Heads and blocks ect are interchangeable for this reason. The pick up just simply has more room under the hood in every direction. This is why there’s no twin turbo in the mustang because it won’t fit in the factory configuration. Aftermarket goes up front high or back and low for this reason.

[@dhmcfadinful]

What tesla style screen is in this truck?

[@Batsu2101]

Always amazing content, keep it up gentlemen.

[@truckstreestoys]

lol they put it in valet mode before handing you the keys

[@meadmaker4525]

I've always liked the raptor, and the Shelby version looks even better. Couple of problems, though. The V6 ecoboost engine should never have been in the same room with this truck, much less actually put into it. It sounds like an anemic lawnmower and doesn't tow or perform for crap before it starts developing coolant leaks and other problems. It's just junk. They had the perfect engine for this truck, the 6.2 V8. Should've stayed with that. The other problem is the transmission. You're right, the people who buy this truck are car enthusiasts, and most car enthusiasts would puke at the idea of a 10-speed automatic in a vehicle like this. Makes me nauseous just thinking about it. Put a solid manual transmission in there, with a manual transfer case shifter while we're at it, and a Shelby-tuned 6.2 V8 and it would literally be perfect. As it is, it's just not worth the money.

[@turbotj99]

Why am I no longer satisfied with my 2019 Raptor??

[@nordic5490]

Hillarious. Blasting through the desert in a 1000hp Landcruiser is quite normal in Dubai, not this crap.

[@joevillareal191]

Still a 6 BLAH , get the Coyote 5.0 with the Super Charger 758 🐎 & Raptor set up & Drive Tha Fudge out of it...... LIKE ITS MEANT 2 BE....

[@beermansf9791]

Just make sure to have this truck in shop for weeks . The transmission leaks like a mother

[@stevechaulk]

Sounds like my Dad's old VW. Hey I guess that's why Ford put the engine sound on the speaker system.

[@JsGarage]

The Shelby trucks just look too overstated to me personally. Raptor is a sweet truck though.

If your spending that much money on a Shelby raptor, you can pretty much do your on trophy truck

[@scarhart53]

You know, you wouldn't think a V6 would sound THAT bad!

[@Powershotknecht]

cool

[@tommy-jt6kj]

best truck in the biz

[@brianbirc]

I built an 87 Bronco and it has more travel on King shocks than the shelby raptor. New engine drivetrain and fenders front rear and hood tires wheels etc.. A lot less than a raptor with same horsepower and torque. New great stereo but not all the electronics just windows and door locks and a Lowrance GPS. Plus lights etc... etc.. Not sure I would do much of the off roading I do in a $117,000.00 truck if I could afford one. I will stick with my Burrow Brah off road surprises happen and fast at speed.

[@nanceeleana]

A no holds barred deep pockets build would be a Ford Raptor first to Hennessey to dump that ecocrap 6 banger in favor of their 5.0 V8 swap upgrade then to Shelby for the dress up package....best of both worlds.

[@_the_dude_abides_]

I love the accolades, but that squeak ain't goin nowhere

[@strix4667]

A hard packed dirt road with some mud puddles at 25 or 30 mph is hardly considered "Fast Off-roading". I do understanding taking it easy since they don't own the truck though. It is funny to see guys who spend all of their time in a car get in an F150 and think it is so big at only 6000#. Compared to a car, yes that's heavy, compared to useful trucks, 3/4 tons and up, that is pretty light if not average; my F350 weighs 7000# dry. I am trying not to hate on the video too much as it was really entertaining to watch and that Shelby Raptor is awesome!

[@Dialysisforever]

I get the feeling you guys have very little off road experience you can compare the Raptor to. A Shelby employee should have drove the truck with you guys as passengers. Maybe a Shelby employee would have showed us something impressive. I did enjoy the video but I felt the truck had so much more. Also, I must say, driving on dirt roads is not considered off roading. I live on a dirt road. Thanks for the video.

[@EverydayDriver]

We appreciate your point here. We would have liked to have done more with the truck. But, we as we were driving Shelby's test truck, they had limitations on time and things they wanted us to do. Interestingly, one of the vital people in the build is actually riding shotgun for this whole video, and they chose the location and roads along with someone who has done the Mint 400 race before. As a result we wound up on the High-Speed Mint 400 roads and the rock crawling you see here. In a perfect world we would have had all day and lots more variety, but we're glad to be able to share what we could do. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@JerkyTreat]

@@magnacartasamadams8189 My point being, is that people buy a Raptor to buy a Raptor. More than half of them will never even ride them through dust, let alone that puddle they keep rolling through in this video. I think a lot of people don't like mid-sized trucks like the Colorado, Ranger, Tacoma because there is not enough room inside and they can only tow landscape trailers. I am sure your truck is nice, but 37K for a mid-size? I think the bank is the only one laughing here. Laughing at your monthly payments.

[@magnacartasamadams8189]

@@JerkyTreat It's a lot better than 70 to 80k And the only reason my truck can't tow 10000 pounds is that bumper and getting more airflow to the radiator A couple mods and I can get 5 to 600' pounds of torque Out of that diesel Nope I'm the one who's laughing because I got my new and MSRP they're usually 50 Also 30 miles to the gallon yeah I'm laughing to the bank

[@JerkyTreat]

@@magnacartasamadams8189 I hate to break it to you man, there is no way that your truck will tow 10,000 lbs. It's just plain physics. If the salesman told you that, he was lying to you (a new bumper is will fix that?!?!?-LOL!) I really do hope you are enjoying your truck though, but for your safety and especially the safety of others on the road you really do need to know it's limitations.
