[@buckhorncortez]

I love people bitching about fuel economy in a PERFORMANCE vehicle. Let me put this in perspective for you. In 1971, I bought a Ford Bronco. It had a 205 hp, 302 V8, and the best mileage it ever got was 15.5 mpg at 55 miles per hour. Now, let's all get nostalgic about "the good old days"...

[@jldude84]

Mpg is more dependent on vehicle weight than the engine's power all else equal. Obviously with ~50 years difference things are gonna be more efficient but curb weight still remains the biggest factor in a vehicle's fuel economy. Which is why a 2002 Corvette Z06 gets the same 28mpg EPA rated hwy fuel economy as a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 4-cyl with well over twice the horsepower.

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

@@jldude84 oh really? Just weight? You don’t think the Bronco in 1971 with a 3 speed transmission, vs the new 10 speed makes any difference? I’d bet the Raptor weighs more than that Bronco from 1971.

There's no denying that the Raptor is a beast in both off-road prowess and sheer speed. However, the EcoBoost engine "sounds" anemic when compared to a N/A V-8. Also, for almost 80K, there should not be any scratchy, crappy plastic in the interior.

[@jackwolford608]

I hear about bad gas mileage in every video on the Raptor. My first tank was 19.5 mpg and best was 22.5. I average 20 mpg and I have 9,500 miles on it now. Lift your right foot once in a while and it will get much better.

[@atodaso1668]

Then why get a raptor? You should get a Prius instead.

[@Sylvan_dB]

That's definitely the secret to a turbo. Treat it like a little engine and you'll get the economy. Treat it like a big engine and you'll get the power. But economy is a compromise in both directions, and so is durability. But they test really good on the EPA mileage test loop!

[@patrickevans5680]

I agree. I do the same with my 2019 Raptor. I get about 18.3 on mine and a truck with two turbos that's pretty good. And I do the same lift your foot off the gas pedal and you'll see a better gas mileage result.

I have never enjoyed a truck as much as my ‘17 Raptor. This is the longest I have kept any truck. That being said, I ordered my TRX two months ago. Exhaust note was one of the deciding factors, but overall the truck performs flawlessly. The Baja suspension floats down any road, and exceeds many luxury vehicles for ride. I have put three different exhausts on it trying to find the right note. It’s impossible. The augmented note can be disabled in ForScan, and additional features unlocked.

[@plmn93]

@@hahaadventures4838 Ford's best selling engines are the "nonsense" V6s. Probably because anybody who uses a truck as a truck appreciates the low end torque they provide. It's mostly posers who complain about the sound they make. Raptor and TRX are both toys, nearly useless as trucks.

4wd Auto uses an electromagnetic clutch in the transfer case to engage the front wheels. The truck will send power to the rear wheels as long as no slippage is identified. Once the vehicle senses slippage it will engage the transfer case clutch, which will then split power to the front and rear wheels.

[@henrent]

I have a 1st Gen Raptor and that wide track comes with a benefit - stability. I find it to be much more stable in turns and with pulling my 28ft travel trailer than other trucks I've driven. Another benefit is the lower rate of depreciation compared with a "regular" F150.

[@saliston]

I think you are spot on. For that much money the interior should be much better and not have any issues like you do with the vent.

[@josephwhiskeybeale]

It’s a nice truck, but way too expensive for what it is, and way too wide for the big city where I live, or the tight trails where I off road.

Same for me. I think they're cool trucks, they just don't suit my style of off-roading at all. I'm not running the Baja 1000, I'm usually on a very tight trail with trees or rocks trying to take out sheet metal.

[@privas8751]

So much hate in the comments on the raptor. Personally, I’m part of the generation that is moving away from the v8. I don’t care for it. This v6 is more power than you need and makes it worth the purchase. I know you v8 oldies like the ideal v8s hold and more power to you. I just like the fun I can have in one and the capabilities that it has. It drove the TRX to become the beast it wanted to be so hand the raptor some love damn

[@joel.7372]

I like the Raptor, always did. I don't know why most people didn't liked the color, I think its awsome. The sticker can be removed, to make it more subtle. It does need a big V8 and super/turbo-charged if they want to stay competitive with the TRX. It would drive me crazy if I would have to listen to the artificial sound below my music and can't be turned off. Can't stand the popup tent you guys put on the bed. There are nice tonneau covers even hard ones (steal protection) that roll out of the way for bikes, etc.

[@justinkirst2934]

The 4Auto in the Ford and GMC act as an AWD system. So it stays in 2wd until it slips and engages the front wheels that are needed. My 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 has it and that’s what it tells you is AWD not 4Auto. And the sound isn’t technically faked, it takes the engine noise and amplifies it so you can hear it that’s why it doesn’t change it’s the same noise.

[@ryzen397]

artificial sound on a truck sums on the new age of bs.

I LOVE my raptor, but the 2 things I do hate, exhaust note, and just how big it is. The power from the ecoboost, especially tuned, is amazing though

The Raptor in my country is very popular, and agree with Roman... It is all the guys that want you to know he has one. Capability & usability, and dare I say reliability is not important at all, as long as other people hear and see him 😉

I have a raptor and get 10-12 mpg and 15 if I’m trying to get really good gas mileage

That soft-top doesn't look good on a Ford Raptor..

It makes sense for the use but it does look terrible. The rest of the vehicle is beautiful though.

At $77k there's a lot of choices for me. Including a new C8 AND used F150. Raptors are cool and more power to ya if you want one.

Or a used V8 F-150 STX ($30k), AND maybe a used Lexus ($30k), AND a nice motorcycle.
