I Bought A Raptor With A V8! - 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Review

[@6.2Slomaro]

I am about to reach 200k miles on my 2014 raptor. It’s been a reliable champ so far. It’s one thirsty truck tho haha.

[@Garagetopics]

Nice! Have you had any major issues?

[@6.2Slomaro]

@@Garagetopicsminor issue, when I would change gear from R to D, truck would drop rpm. I replace the purge valve and it fix it. I replaced all 16 spark plugs and boots. One of them was melted through the rubber boot. Funny cause I never notice any mis fire or anything. I replaced change the coolant, did a full flush and now running ford yellow coolant. (Looks green), replace the rear diff fluid. Need to find time to swap out the trans filter and fluid, got the parts they just sitting in the box. I have rad flo shocks, I had them rebuild recently.

I sit at 186k on my 2012, its. Great truck

[@albertayo7035]

I have a 2013, its an amazing truck I wish ford can bring it back with same spec, its the perfect truck for a truck guy ....some people want 1000hp truck but honestly this truck has the perfect amount of power in my book

[@Garagetopics]

Nice! How many miles are on your truck? Any big issues you have encountered?

[@albertayo7035]

@@Garagetopics getting close to 130k miles, once it was making a grinding noise when on 2wd and stops when its on 4wd i knew it was a vacuum leak which i just replaced, didn't cost up to $100 at the time because i did it myself thanks to youtube university ....Any extra was just routing maintenance and replacing lights for aesthetics.

[@jibrilthegreat35]

I have a 2012, 186k miles and it is hands down the best truck Ive ever owned. Reliable and powerful.

[@liftman3334]

I have a 2011 Gen 1 with 247,000+ tons of power. Freaking love the Gen 1 V8

[@Eric_s2002]

What maintenance have you had to do? Any major repairs?

[@liftman3334]

Only issue I’ve had is power steering pump blew out. And and just general maintenance oil etc.

[@ShiftedPerspective]

Great looking truck. I dd the shock rebuild from TSW at similar miles as yours and it transformed the way it feels. At 100k miles it was the best money you can spend. Also don't forget to do Fuse 27.

[@Garagetopics]

Making a video about this soon!

[@21stcenturymetal31]

I bought a 13 Blue Flame color with 109k and absolutely love it. It was a one owner as well and its in great condition. Great trucks

[@Garagetopics]

Nice! How many miles does it have now?

[@21stcenturymetal31]

@@Garagetopics 119 I also put new rotors and pads, new battery. Everything like yours is stock and has all the options as yours. Its a great truck.

[@superspeeder]

Awesome! The newer V6 might be quicker, but who wants to listen to it? Not me! Glad to see you enjoying life and keeping the channel fresh! Cheers from Canada!!!

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks man! I've been busy but can't complain. Sad reality is I filmed this video in July and just now was able to post after editing it. I'm hoping to crank out more videos more frequently, but time will tell

[@alexandermcghee8960]

Love these trucks. Look and sound incredible. I'm looking at buying a 2012 raptor, but heard that year had a few issues.

[@Garagetopics]

They all have issues technically, but I would not be scared of a 2012 model at all versus a 13-14 model

[@iholguin303]

Thanks for the vid man, picking one up this week 🙌

[@Garagetopics]

Nice!! You won't regret it

[@STEWDEE]

6.2L engines if maintained with good synthetic oil routinely go over 300k no problem..You got a good one it sounds like..

[@alexanderrubio3572]

I have a 14 raptor with 57k miles, all stock, it’s a beast nothing better 😮‍💨

[@traxiii]

It would be interesting doing an engine swap on a worn out 6.2L Gen.1 with the new-ish Godzilla 7.3L, more power and torque, maybe better mileage too.

[@beastmode_0n665]

Please do more videos on this raptor!

[@Garagetopics]

Will do! Follow us on IG for more Raptor content

[@chevyrocks8424]

I got 104k on mine and it’s still roars!

[@Garagetopics]

Nice!

[@NoypiTexan]

Some people going back to gen 1 raptors

[@atomicorang]

Good take on your new to you Raptor! My last new F-150 was in 05. Have had 3 Tundra and 2 Tacoma the last 20 years. All were excellent trucks. Am planning on a RV trailer to pull but wanted more truck than not enough.. Bought new F-250 7.3. 2 months in I'm used to longer wheelbase. Love my decision. Your best video in my opinion is the Chevy Malibu sleeper. ❤

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks!!

[@matthewbush3083]

looking at a 2014, 90k on it, supercrew, VERY clean inside and out. asking it about $37,000 - Good? bad? It did have that bad noise when trying to do 4x4 low, but i did not 100% follow the owners manual steps (oopps) any thoughts?

[@JFabric500]

Did I miss how much you paid?

[@bayliduff7509]

Hey man, those are the SE wheels, those are worth good money incase you ever sell them theyre pretty sought after.

[@Garagetopics]

Thanks yes I know! That's why this truck seemed like a perfect fit, as I would want these wheels on a Gen 1 Raptor no matter what

[@STEWDEE]

2013-14 are the best years..Ford reinforced the frames last 2 years . Plus other small changes.

[@jmorefit1]

Thanks for the review dude!

[@willfrisbie7918]

love the video! I got a knock sensor code on mine too. It ending up being a couple bad coils, they were shorting to the engine block and triggering the code. got all new coils on rock auto and we're ripping!

[@Garagetopics]

I forgot to mention this, I had the exact same issue! Did you fully replace the coils or just the boots and "pill"?

[@willfrisbie7918]

@@Garagetopics I went with all new coils, got them new for around 600$v for 8. I saw some people had a rough go replacing just the pill part, and I plan to keep my truck for another 200k miles hopefully, so i opted to just replace them. Once i had the new ones on the trucks running amazing.

[@bigdaddy5150sh71]

I'm deciding right this minute between used Raptors. V8 or the 6. I'm undecided as of now.

[@urbanpeltier1622]

I test drove both and went v8

[@celsodoniz1332]

Bro, I have 2013 gen 1. Bought it salvaged and rebuilt it. What’s giving me issues is that the frame got a little bent and it makes the truck vibrate at around 50 - 60 mph . Any suggestions or ideas ? I believe I could get that piece of frame sawed off and weld a new one on.. but I don’t know what you guys think ? ( who ever is reading the comments too lol )

[@Garagetopics]

Where is the bend on the frame? Mine has no frame damage at all, thankfully, but most likely you probably have a bend near the steering rack?

[@JimmyTwos]

Ooooh, that body line is very noticeable to me from the damage, that would bother me so much 😂 good find though!

[@Garagetopics]

Worst case I can tweak that front fiberglass fender to make that gap back to normal, but I never notice it as I'm almost never looking on that side

[@humbertoscamera9873]

Vince McMahon

[@ItsLukeyJ]

Any major differences between the 13-14s and the 10-12s??

[@Garagetopics]

I believe the frame was reinforced better for 13-14 trucks. In 2014 there was no recall for the lead frame transmission controller, which was a hit or miss issue for the other year trucks

[@humbertoscamera9873]

Are you the youngest of the McMahon's?

[@raulbueno4284]

What do you mean? The raptor are performed the Tundra when it’s towing man you don’t know nothing about the Toyota Tundra.

[@jamesmorrison991]

Still my fav !!! I miss mine ! But I’m happy with my 2019 lol with Recaro seats

[@Garagetopics]

I'd love a Gen 2 but I'm afraid to own one without a warranty

[@patriciobeltz1449]

Talking about the Tundra is like talking about your ex. Stop it.
