Is Buying A Ford F-150 Raptor A 'BIG' Mistake!?

Is buying a Ford F150 Raptor a big mistake for UK roads? Today we're at Deranged looking at the first stages of our Ford pickup custom build and while we look at Jason's awesome car collection I'm seriously considering a Ford F150 Raptor but, is it literally a BIG mistake!?

American here, born in the south and living in Texas. LOOOVE your channel, but I have to say, it's absolutely adorable that you guys across the pond think that a Raptor is giant.

[@michaelmckinney5954]

Haha. Yep. I’m also in Texas and have a lifted F-250 Platinum Powerstroke on 37s. It makes the Raptor look tiny. James is a dude though. 🤘🏼

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

Pickups have gotten to big , I have a 2003 Ranger and that's the perfect size . And weighing only 3,100 pounds makes 220 HP all kinds of fun .

[@michaelmckinney5954]

@@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel Depends on the intended use for the truck. I use mine to haul horses and a pretty big boat.

[@HitmanPeTeY]

Because compared to our roads, parking spaces & most standard sized European cars it's a monster. 😆

[@SeanFalloy]

I've owned trucks my whole life, In Canada, and never though of an F150 as big. But yeah I hate driving them in the city. The work these guys do is impressive!

[@treyreppe4348]

Depending on where you are in America (especially predominantly farming areas) a raptor could be the smallest truck you see. I do wish I could get Recaro seats on a ranger here in the US (a ranger is in the running for my next vehicle depending on trim lvl and if I fit in it)

[@God_girgd]

Mr. JWW would lose his mind seeing some of the Midwest truck abominations

[@HeHeHaHa146]

yeah a Raptor is average truck size in Canada

[@StevenPociengel]

Really just about anywhere state side. They're just as crazy in the south and southwest. I thought the same though!

[@StevenPociengel]

@Saad Malik I'm pretty sure no one is saying trucks are abominations, I think that some of the mods that people do are abominations. Especially for the ones that never leave the road.

[@bentonstaffel2471]

@@StevenPociengel he literally said mid west truck abominations lmao. He’s hating on a raptor and probably can’t even afford one.

[@StevenPociengel]

@@bentonstaffel2471 Yeah, as in modified. I don't think anyone would consider the raptor a "Midwest truck". Idk what to tell you though, I didn't make the original comment but I read it as all the lifted trucks with mudding tires that may or may not go off road that would make a stock raptor seem tiny

[@kilarisarathkumar1214]

God those wheels what was the owner smoking

Wheels and tires, terrible choice imho...but hey, do your own thing, fine by me. 17s stock are perfect. 18s for aftermarket brake kit maybe. But that's it.

I love how he thinks that a raptor is massive and that’s only a 1500 and 2500 and 3500s are way bigger

[@gpaje]

Actually the F250/350 uses the same cab on the F150, of course the frame is different and generally the configurations are longer. But the Raptor is huge in that it's wide, wider than any Superduty Ford if you don't include side mirrors, just the body.

[@markmushypeas313]

I drove one two ways across the Simpson Desert in Oz. A truly awesome vehicle in std trim. Cool in the city, awesome in the sand, but not a sharp edged rock climber.

[@Xander7777777777]

James - top tip from a Ranger owner - get the speakers upgraded as the standard sound system is useless! As they have your door cards and seats out it will be a very easy upgrade :-)

[@gen1c8rs88]

Mr. JWW if you get F150 Raptor keep it stock except for these tyre and wheel sizes; a more utilitarian size of 285/75r17(17×8 or 17x7.5) with a 3 peak snowflake rated All-Terrian like the Yokohama Geolander A/T G015, the 285 width tyre will be better for winter travel on the pavement and a full diameter and width 35x12.5r17(315/70r17 is 34.4 inches and the BFG KO2 and KM3 are smaller than most other brands) Mud Terrian like a Yokohama Geolander MT G003 or X-MT GOO5 for off roading.

I love the Ranger, especially with the wider arches. But seeing a Ranger after the F-150 makes it look so vanilla and ordinary. Love the F-150, I hope the next Ranger looks just like it!

[@gillesLegein]

I would love seeing you drive that Blue Raptor 😎 it's really dope. But would color those overfenders too in Blue + another rugg metal bar as frontbumper

[@fmc7209]

It would only be a mistake if you bought one with those horrendous wheels 😂 otherwise, it’s an awesome truck James

[@kevinbreese5739]

Horrendous wheels? It's obvious you are completely clueless when it comes to style. Those wheels are awesome with a nice spoke design, clean color, and epic concavity. Obviously, wheels sticking out past the fenders are not for everyone, but it's the popular trend in truck culture. You probably drive a Subaru and just don't get it.

[@jaisensai3651]

You need those wheels bro. Fully Blacked out beautiful. American style

[@filippetrov1171]

What’s the wheels brand and size, and the tires model and size? They look awesome.

[@baddogentertainment6960]

Nothing wrong with those wheels.

[@ryansellsdrugs]

@@kevinbreese5739 lol. Anyone with half a brain recognizes "horrendous wheels" is directed at size and fitment. Raptor's should have a smaller wheel, bigger tire, and fitment that allows them to go through the long travel motion without contacting fender. If you want the rubberband & bulldog look, don't put it on a Raptor.

Agreed on the wheels thing on Raptor. The factory wheels are way better looking and better suited for that off-road Baja truck. Big wheels and low profile tyres are just plain wrong on some applications. The truck of course is fantastic and comes 0fully loaded when equipped with the 802a package. Oh; and the factory Recaro seats are a must have.
