[@derekwarner7910]

Just bought a 2019 Raptor..best thing I've ever driven. No arguments here.

[@fit4ya1975]

I been a GMC guys for a while, but the Raptor is by far the baddest truck on the road..

[@jimco5852]

I will never sell my Raptor. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

[@ImJidionDaddy]

2030 all cars all electric so eventually lol

[@xmichielx100]

Respect for taking quality before quantity! Love the video's!

[@BTechTalk]

Keep on making videos when you feel like making videos. I can personally tell a big difference between a video you made just for the sake of making it and a video which you geniunely enjoyed making, for example this one. It's just the geniune vibe and energy of the video I really enjoy. Keep up the good work, don't worry about uploading, upload when you feel like it and want to. :)

[@Jonathan1003]

Dude your content is so great because you don’t force yourself to make bs videos. Your stuff is so high quality that if I only saw one video a month that was this great and high quality I’d still be happy you’re the best man not a lot of people like you out there

[@M3loBeeZy]

So true on that ending , hate forced videos

[@saadsalman9713]

I totally support your idea of not forcing content. It means that every time you DO post I can get even more excited because it's not on a schedule

[@Mod2Fame]

Man how time flies, it feels like you just got that thing.

[@ethan12313]

You change cars about as often as I change toothbrushes.

[@rsxking2004]

Not really. he changes toothbrushes every 2 weeks

[@andreyv1]

thats what happens when you can't afford your lease payments

[@LegendInThaMakin]

Andrey V he sold the gt3 because it was about to take a hit in depreciation... and he finances.

[@JoeKnowsBest]

what happens when you can't afford your lease payments? I've never leased a car personally, but i'm willing to be if you can't afford and miss payment they don't just allow you to lease another more expensive car?

[@andreyv1]

so a raptor is more expensive than a gt 3?

[@karmafields6229]

100 feet off the highway = middle of nowhere 🤔

[@valorantclips6494]

More KZbinrs need to be like this man from the last few minutes! Props to you man for staying true to your content!

[@brucec43]

Thanks for keeping us posted about your appointments.

[@ag92oo4]

You switch cars faster then I switch shoes

[@vurbina52]

👍 love the KZbin rant at the end. Quality over quantity.

[@ShiftedPerspective]

totally agree about the forced content point you make. I struggle with it honestly. I want to put out a lot of videos, but don't want them to be junk! It's a balancing act of growing the channel in a healthy way, but also playing the KZbin gam.

[@ViggenStory]

One of the best upcoming car KZbinrs out there! A1 quality content for viewers. Keep up the good work. The cinematic scenes make the videos!!!

[@iAmCracky]

The reason behind Apple Carplay to be like that is (I think) to force you to not use your phone as you shouldn't while driving

[@uuhamm]

I really like android auto. It doesn't have as many apps as apple car play which surprised me, but it's a lot more simple. To me it just feels more like what you want in your infotainment center. It also lets you do almost whatever you want on the phone screen while you've got it hooked up and doesn't change the car screen. Google assistant can be a little clunky but it always gets my voice commands right and it reads and lets me reply to text messages in any messaging app hands free.

[@TheLazer613]

I not only like your content, but you music selections are great. Two thumbs up

[@zippyman818]

I agree, the music adds depth to the overall effect without being distracting. Joe's content saves me from hours of research about ugly cars and trucks.

[@user-oy6fo6by7q]

Laizer Solash When you say 2 thumbs up I hop you don't mean that you flip your phone over to like the video twice. . Becuse things doesn't work that way in youtube you know....

[@fsk2732]

Great video. I, for one, don't mind this video style. Definitely like where your channel is going man!

[@chargercaddy]

Nice truck , my 2013 raptor roush is making 590hp and 590 tq of the lot , still have it , it's about the only car I've kept this long . Tons of fun and it's been a really solid truck . And my traction control on mine , I just press and it's off

[@RobertoRomero-yr3id]

I’d love that Raptor. That’s my dream truck, one day hopefully I’ll be able to get a blue one! Keep up the hard work!

[@FastlaneFlix]

Slipped carrying groceries 😂😂😂 I agree tho, I do it for fun, the content is much more genuine and a lot less pressure to edit!

[@hellraiserx9490]

Thanks for the video I just put the exact same truck yesterday and I’m loving the hell out of it so far of course I’ve only had it one day LOL

[@humarmz]

Awsome! Finally a super honest review. Going to order mine this summer.. great info.. thanks bro...

[@danny812407]

Awesome video! Great quality

[@jaypers232]

Just keep making that content my man! Looking forward to seeing what car is next!

[@Dukeoden7458]

Slick edit bro

[@thirstypilgrim97]

How bout dat framing and lighting do?

[@sneakygnome-yt9436]

Beautiful editing and informative video. I’m gonna buy a raptor soon.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Loved the video you put together with your Raptor and the RZR. Nice seeing these toys tearing it up off-road.

[@invasion1824]

OMG! The AUX switches are just fine!

[@TheAnushir]

Cinematography and video on point!!!!

[@RayonWhittaker]

For the Audio Video system, what do you think about swapping that out with a Full Android Car Radio?

[@andrewrossnagel9433]

That e92! I would love to see you drive a supercharged one for a few episodes. I think you'd fall in love with it.

[@packtor1012]

Thx for the honest review!

[@MasaProductionz]

Can’t wait to see what the next car is!

[@Raggony678]

Much Quality, Very Good

[@BryceLyt]

Top notch quality per usual

[@simonbouchard8832]

Last two minutes were real man!Couldn't have said it better

[@jeanobalinghasay4244]

Up there with the best editors man.

[@FairwayStreams]

Wow i completely love apple car play . And I already told myself I can’t own a car with out it . But to each it’s own . Good video 👍🏻

[@inacher4566]

I love your videos. I look forward to see your new car.

[@CabanaD]

Totally understand about the sound. The Coyote 5.0 would be the perfect cure.

[@edventures9884]

Can’t wait for whats next!

[@joyado]

I LOVE YOUR EDIT BRAA

[@9612jimbo]

Awesome vid. ...one trick with the aux buttons on the top is to actually count where the button is, that way you just reach up without taking your eye's off the road. You can do this on all the buttons in the car...it takes time...but it works..Keep up the cool vids...👍👍👍

[@hellraiserx9490]

I’ve only had My 2018 raptor a few weeks and so far I absolutely love it!

[@1seanbarry]

Can't wait to see what you get next. Too bad you aren't taking the Raptor to Colorado though!

[@maxxchewning]

Sick video bro!

[@rashyiz]

Maxx Ask him if they are still selling this jacket at The North Face ?

[@HhHh-mf2kb]

Maxx Chewning aqzsedtfygujikolpm'

[@cdub.91]

Damn bro. Nice truck! That’s my dream truck right there!!!! On some methods and windows tinted and it’s looks so clean. Add a dirt bike in the bike and I’m dialed lol

[@AkemeLewis-LEWISindustries]

for real, keep doing what you do

[@HerpesConsulting]

No hate in this comment, I enjoy your videos regardless

[@travislawson1984]

So what's the Doug Score?

[@AzenBerries]

Travis Lawson Daddy Demuro says its a good investment unless that was about the regular f150 or a different truck altogether

[@francososa638]

I really like your Raptor review and you’re right all things ⚖️👍

[@brettswanson4452]

Good video, especially the value analysis. Ford actually does offer black wheels. I have them on my 2018 Raptor, which is also Leadfoot Gray.

[@JoeKnowsBest]

If you don't want to wait so long between uploads, check out my Twitch Channel. Been live streaming Fortnite and LOL twice a week recently. Way more interactive than KZbin since i can chat with you guys in real time! Come hang out! www.twitch.tv/joeknowsbestofficial

[@soufianefariss]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT !!!

[@plasticpatch1]

"I know dodge has something but eh" lol

[@lovesautodetail]

Nice video glad I found this channel.

[@ogmikep84]

The switches on the roof are one of the coolest things about the truck!

[@WARFRATify]

Cant wait to download images of your stock 2018 raptor.

[@brieatz]

Sweet edit! Looking forward to your new car reveal. Your Loudest RS5 vid pushed me over the edge to pick up my own RS5 a couple of months ago! Quality over quality....keep it up Joe.

[@Wristrolling]

J Lo called she wants her Ray Bans back.

[@nassirhussein9438]

Probably Best Truck Yet.

[@RaineyNights]

Those Ray Bans are just straight 🔥. I meant to drop a comment on the last cars and coffee vid about them. The Raptor is bae.

[@RaineyNights]

asusatetheapple Lmao you done? Have a blessed day man.

[@AviationDirection]

Can you please do a video on how/when/etc you decide to make vehicle decisions? I want to see how changing vehicles so often is both possible and financially responsible. Much appreciated!

[@96er.dominik]

I hope KZbin gets their notifications figured out.. I clicked the bell on like 5 channels and from 3 I don't get the notifications.. yours included. but as always, love your videos keep them coming whenever you feel like making them :)

[@33snook64]

Good job on your editing 🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@BigGuyBiggerTruck]

I've had my 18 since about Sept and I've loved it. The skid plate being silver bugged me too so I ended up plasti dipping it anthracite. looks fine now. I got it in leadfoot and just picked it up from the vinyl wrap shop last week. I have the same problem recording vids as you. I keep my camera in the spot above the dashboard (the snack bowl) and sometimes my videos are super bouncy. I'm really torn on if i want to get aftermarket bumpers and wheels still. I got the black/gray wheels but those methods look nice. Rumor has it the tune is coming out from Ford later this month (thats the last thing FP told me at least) which should add 70-80 hp and 150tq. I think its basically a rebranded Whipple stage 1 tune. Will also be going to the Raptor Assault in June with a couple of other youtubers so that should be fun. great vid. take care.

[@storm4601]

How’s the Bang & Olufsen system sound compared to the old Sony setup?

[@TheXOoftheRO]

Rich noobs supported by poor noobs. smh

[@traeucity6087]

Perfectly stated. What a strange world we now live in; where people idolize or envy those they helped create.

[@LesVertsAlgerie]

respect.

[@andyp.4688]

Freaking love your videos man

[@aestheticsound7960]

Honestly know nothing about cars but this video was so visually appealing I stayed

[@sourgrapes3178]

what up joe you rock dude

[@ryanlee97]

Great video! Can't please everyone, so just put out content that you think is up to par with your standards! Keep it up!Can't wait to see the new car

[@freddycorona2736]

Hey joe what’s a good program to edit ? And what is a good guide to teach myself to edit / maybe add animations such as that video u made for maxxx where he jumps from spot to another ?

[@atlantajake]

Innerbloom - What So Not Remix. Can never go wrong with that song.

[@Executionoutdoors]

I would of kept that thing forever! But excited to see what’s coming next

[@Patrick5195]

Great video bro. Love how real you are. So much better then that Street speed dude.

[@Aniar_bkwds]

What are you doing with my truck 😥😫😭 Love the editing btw💞💞

[@whylde0697]

cant wait to see the new car Joe

[@raymondmclemore2616]

I drive a 2012 Raptor every day and have for years, and I don't think you traded up. Sorry, but the styling is just so much better on the Gen 1. But thats just me. Still, Raptor ownership is a cult, so thumbs up!

[@shamarg6]

Raymond McLemore my guy its more than a inner circle cult every truck guy respects that thing even cops. I love this vehicle

[@raymondmclemore2616]

Agreed everyone like it, but my wife calls it that because we drove from Michigan to Florida, and every time we saw another Raptor the guy would flash lights or thumbs up. She says she has never seen that reaction before. I said "we're a big club" she said "no, you guys are a cult"

[@MumbleVlogs]

Can’t wait to see what your new car is going to be

[@ruthcabasag5250]

Can you get the orange accents bucket seats through the dealer? How much did the package cost?

[@styletosmile3148]

Dream truck 😩😩✊

[@yeeechan3105]

First time watching your video and was wondering why everything looks so familiar driving down the road. Just realized how close we live when I saw University Blvd and that church beside I69.

[@g4yrut]

hold up... you keep your winter jacket in the bathroom?

[@rosco33ful]

Great info. Ford isn't the only one that does it but I wish they wouldn't cover so much of the rear view with those huge head rests. The back seat is mostly only for kids, cargo and pets anyway. Perhaps they're removable.

[@adventurellama7444]

My 2016 F150 xlt FX4 does the same thing when shifting with the 6 speed transmission. In sport mode, it tends to sit in higher gears. Sync 3 also disconnects from app link, very frustrating. My panoramic sunroof rattles like crazy too. By the way, I am a software developer as well. Love the channel man.

[@nameshouldvehere]

Did you shoot the first video of the exterior of the truck close to Hitchcock?

[@sharmainefresco838]

THE POWER LEVELS IS OVER 9000!!!!!!

[@Screwdriver-]

Black wheels are offered, they are the only other wheel option. I ordered my 2018 with black wheels, and even then I still changed them to bronze. :)

[@kingkonginthetrunk]

I just sold my 2013 with 38k miles on it, and you are right they hold value extremely well. I am sad to hear that the new Raptors also have a slight vibration / bounce while driving too....almost like they never settle and 100% smooth no matter the road. That is a shame.

[@belowaverageluke1369]

Legend has it that if you're early, he responds...

[@JoeKnowsBest]

What up

[@alancollins833]

Did you intend on keeping the truck such a short time?

[@sludgehammerz]

Can't wait for the new car Joe

[@hicksalan1]

9:25 on-wards very informative advice.

[@Facemash88]

Love the videos and quality. I recently got a raptor because of ya! Ha. I hope you get back into a raptor, a raptor gt3 garage is the best :)
