FIRST DRIVE: IS THE 2024 FORD RANGER RAPTOR THE BEST RAPTOR YET?

[@SpeedPhenom]

It looks like in the moment when I was observing the vents they did not look functional. Thank you for the correction! It must've been the shadowing which threw me off. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video! 😃

This truck has won its class the last 2 years at the Australian Fink off road races. Regarded as the toughest off road rally track in the world. The ranger Raptor was designed, engineered and tested in Australia. Amazing truck

[@ROC805]

The vents are functional...have seen the heat haze come out of mine in Australia

[@stevmstng5165]

I have a 24. Absolutely love mine

[@NemeanLion-]

I don’t know why anyone would want to change this raptor. It’s engineered perfectly to do what it does.

[@bryy2053]

Waiting for mine to be built in shelter green. They started builds late in the model year and ended it early in the model year, making this truck hard to come by. I cant friggn wait to pick it up

[@JDE914]

I’ve had mine for almost a week and I love it. The 3L is a great engine and a lot of fun, it’s not fast but way more power than you need. Everything is plush and super comfortable. It’s been a blast so far and I did peel the raptor stickers off and to my eye it looks way better.

[@MedStopPharmacy]

Boy do i want one!! was cool to see enjoying the desert run!!!

[@Ricster223]

Best new truck for sure

[@DavidFigs]

Glad I'm not the only one putting it through its paces. I agree with your assessment too as I've owned a gen 2 and gen 1 raptor.. Well done 🤘

[@joelopez5018]

The Tacoma trd pro is $70k+… I’d rather take this instead. More power and it’s a mother*ucken ford ranger!!

[@07slowbalt]

Maybe a Tundra not a Tacoma for 70k

[@joelopez5018]

@@07slowbalt Tacoma trd pros are $70k+

[@joshuaknuckles4594]

I’d take Colorado zr2

[@oni-one574]

I'll take a dirt bike. Feel the world around me. Also, Ranger Raptor was $77k OTD at every dealer I checked the Saturday before last.

Some Native American flute music would add to this but this is a great job 👏. I bought a cooler I can plug in back seat or far back in my Silverado 6.2 liter. It is a freezer and cooler! The V6 is key to this Ford product. Sad dealerships have done the old ADM’s. Even in corn country of Illinois they generally want 10k over. I saved big on 2024 Silverado High Country. I used some of my Z06 points to get an electric metal cover. Saved big. I’d review that beast too continuing with truck theme.

Great content Austin!

[@richardmodglin3900]

I remember your first Raptor drive vudei out near Barstow. I'm sure the R version is pretty sweet!

[@stephenr115]

I sure hope you’ll do a multi-state review to Colorado. Let me know as we can rock trail ridge road hitting 12,000 feet above sea level. I bought a Silverado ZR2 Midnight Edition. Beast class for sure.

[@msshelby8843]

GREAT VIDEO !! Sweet truck man looks like a BLAST!!

[@stephenr115]

Good job on this detailed review. Love the “new shelter green,” as well as the color reviewed. The shelter green very popular vs “eruption green.”

[@baronlappaRangerRaptor]

I own one I love it!

[@bryy2053]

I agree. Waiting for my shelter green to be built. I LOVE that color and can't wait to see it up close in person.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Speed Phenom Awesome Review I think that Ranger Raptor is Absolutely incredible for what it is and I think it's awesome that Ford made Ranger Raptors way affordable than F-150 and Broncos Raptors and still be well equipped

[@bobafetta3304]

More off roading please I was hoping for more press? Truck? Can't really find a lengthy video on it just love this truck

[@josem6929]

At last a review from a really talented driver that can actually put the Ranger thru its paces. Thank you.

[@beowulfgrendel24]

Just wish it had ventilated seats. Those northern manufacturers seem to forget how hot the south is

[@radic888]

I'm pretty sure it's made in the southern hemisphere.

[@brianchavez9208]

Two words “dealer markups” they like to ruin the market for anything good ford produces….

[@flubberlane8437]

Hi Speed Phenom 😀

[@ericmartin2555]

Ford raptor r doesn’t come with true 37s if u measure lol

[@Sticks1680]

You dont have the voice for this platform.

Big Bear Commiefornia

[@blakegarner3719]

Definitely a nice truck and good video. You shouldn't say it's a bargain though! All of these trucks are extremely expensive (maybe not for you but for many)!

[@dnice362]

It definitely is. The average new car price is 48k and considering this is by far the cheapest raptor and w equipment it comes with, it’s kinda a bargain

[@gusdavos8158]

People don’t see what it costs to build anything anymore
