Ummm because every farmer needs a town truck. Even if it is the most playful truck on the farm.

[@jameslockhart8250]

Every farm needs a Lamborghini

[@malinoisnation9392]

I just don’t see these keeping there value once the supply chain issues are worked out. It’s the older v8s that are worth money.

[@rustbucket1114]

Am I going to be the first to ask......Who's the young lady?

[@malinoisnation9392]

I wonder if he will mention his midlife crisis lol.

The Raptor is too overpriced for me. I see that as useful on my farm as a sports car. I want a truck to handle a load and the weight. For long trips would be a smaller vehicle with a more efficient engine. Gas prices are only going up. I have my Jeep Cherokee sport for that and my 05 F150 for the farm.

Also .. don't make it a habit of leaving your key inside your truck reason 1 the Ford truck has a weak door handle that thieves have figured out how to break into the trucks.. example: Matt from demolition ranch had his F-350 broken into and they stole his computer and other items because of this door handle design... Reason 2 this truck has a perimeter sensors that recognize when you come close to the truck and you have your key in your pocket if you leave the key in the truck it will always think that you are near and never fully go to sleep "possibly" causing a battery draw in the electrical system!! I'm not trying to tell you what to do.. it's just things that I have run into as a Ford technician.. take this advice and do with it as you please😃😃😃

These raptors are getting cheap. I'm thinking about picking one up for under $30k

[@Aglassact77]

You literally have several of the “Best” actual vehicles made for work or 4wd. Ford trucks are some of the most reliable . I’m currently in the market for a 2013-2019 Ford Raptor . Work/play truck 🛻

[@stevensides88]

Some people may think it’s dumb to use a raptor as a farm truck. I say you’re the first person I’ve seen actually put this extremely capable truck to use.

Why spend 50k on a brand new base model f150 when you can spend 50k on a raptor with like 50k miles

[@mattphillips1910]

Great video! I was in the market for a used Raptor for all the reasons you mentioned. My daily driver until recently was my F450 King Ranch. Great truck, but when my equipment transport trailer isn't hooked to it, it rides like a sheet of plywood with a steering wheel, and it gets 10 MPG uphill, downhill, loaded or empty. Which isn't awesome right now! I wound up buying a brand new F150 XLT super cab instead (longer bed with the rear doors that open "backwards") . It was an impulse purchase. My 450 was in for service and I noticed the 150. I was able to borrow that truck for a bit while they worked on my big truck. The thing that made me buy it: The seats! My back has been jacked up for 25 years. My King Ranch truck has amazing seats, but you pay for them! I wasn't expecting much from cloth seats in an XLT F150. I was wrong. The seats in that truck were amazing and I bought it that day, for that reason. Over the last several months, I have been surprised at just how many features a "basic" F150 came with. Rear end locker, Apple Car-Play, Ford Pass, multiple driving and terrain modes, that trailer back up thingy that I don't use, and a 302 V8 that has stupid power, but gets over 20 MPG on the long trips......just to name a few. I have never owned a truck smaller than an F250 before. And I am very pleased with the value of my 2021 F150. The truck was just over 40K brand new, with a very good warranty. It doesn't look as cool as a Raptor. But it's a great truck for the money, and it's brand new for less money than I would have been able to find a good used Raptor for in my area.

That's the best color. I'm glad they're bringing it back.

[@sixosixo]

I put a Undercover ArmorFlex Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover on my truck. Ordered on Amazon, put on myself. I would buy it again with no regrets. It's awesome.

[@theodorerowe4483]

Great looking truck! Tons of options, quite a beauty. I don't understand why people would put the lights on anything else than automatic

[@gocanes2]

My brother has had 3 different eco boost trucks. F350 and 2 F150's and he loved all 3

[@DKK716]

After you put in your code on the door hit the 5/6 button and it should drop your tail gate automatically, thats what it does on my 19 f250

[@dougdavis4439]

Nice truck Josh. I'm sure it'll bring you years of enjoyment!

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

I’m not a Ford fan but that’s a really nice truck.

When you absolutely, positively, have to get to the feed store in under 6 seconds! Nice ride brother!!
