[@billiondollardan]

I like the stock muffler and bumper. I don't think I'm going to do anything to mine except get a tune

[@321lkjackson]

The true is loaded the only addition I did was fog lights and light bar thats it....no need for anything else.

[@Wannabe_Maker]

Same

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

If I get a Raptor,I'm keeping the exhaust stock....I dont think it sounds bad....👍

[@321lkjackson]

yah at the end of the day getting an aftermarket exhaust might impress men but women dont care....lol might as well save your money.

[@SkoalTide96]

At the 1st gen Raptor it’s worth it!

[@NoonMight]

It’s good if you want like 30 extra hp lol so you’re right, save the $2000 and just stick with stock.

[@dariokurtovic3563]

You didn't say nothing about driving experience(150hp more).What I saw dosen't look like he has

[@erikracz4162]

Awesome video! Made my day, can't wait for the next one. 👍

[@ChrisB-rw6jy]

What exhaust is that? Sounds awesome

[@kanon0853]

Stock bumper looks way better.

[@bigsmoke9486]

The Raptor is cool and it's way better than the RAM Rebel Even though the Raptor is the only version that is better than RAMS

[@luc0650]

Thats why the trx is coming

[@Ewdred]

What brand of exhaust was that?!

[@jullianhuisken7779]

would you compare this one to a gen 1 please?

[@dalemcconnell2638]

what is that aftermarket exhaust?

[@Sinkedgamer]

Bold enough of you to assume I can afford a raptor

[@BenHardyCars]

🤣👍🏻

[@nicolasc3360]

Love the vids

[@jakesahinler2140]

any idea on what the new bumper is

[@rarityd]

Rear led lights helped with towing bigtime

[@MigzG]

Love those new camera angles thou

[@BenHardyCars]

Thank you

[@robertbauguss8935]

What upgrades were done to get the turbo noise like that? Turbo smart blow off valve?

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

Its a free upgrade, all you have to do is disconnect the line for the vta under the truck. Then tape it up

[@JbbJake]

Can confirm. Raptor bumpers bend easily.. my tube frame bumper should be here in the morning.

[@johnlexus1]

Lol mine too 😂

[@crfx8408]

the BFG KO2's are the best all terrain tire on the market. Don't downgrade your truck by getting nitto ridge grapplers man. Just cause it's 'stock' doesn't mean it's inferior, those KO2's will outperform any tire in its market.The only all-terrain/hybrid tires I'd run other than a BFG KO2 are the toyo open country R/T's, they hold up just as good

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

Nice vid Ben.....

[@RMC2021]

The transmission takes way longer to warm up than the engine, hence the separate temperature gauges. It's amazing how many auto channels there are where the host is not mechanically knowledgeable or inclined in any way.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Also it's got a tune on it so shit timing and hold times are ajusted

[@dangerdrew313]

Which upgraded intercooler?

[@dcouwlier]

Maybe it sits higher because the number and the winch?

[@matthewreich2256]

What rear bumper is that with lights?!

[@donnyweitz1689]

Just an FYI while yes, the winch and bumper will weigh it down some, I believe 2019 and up raptors are a little higher stock thank the 2018 and below. I could be wrong, but it’s what I have heard.

[@BenHardyCars]

Yeah that’s what it looks like

[@simonj126]

19/20 are definitely higher. My neighbor has an 18 and it's noticeably lower. Must be the live valve suspension.

[@chrisrobinson3494]

Are Raptors created by taking a standard F150 & pouring "liquid-steroids" into the fuel tank?

[@BenHardyCars]

Basically

[@chrisrobinson3494]

@@BenHardyCars I knew it!

[@luvpeace5568]

Thanks really waiting for this comparison

[@273VIPER]

What bumper in the rear?

[@hc7073]

Is that a factory color that orange

[@charliemontero5217]

If u decide to sell both trucks which one sells faster and with the best value?

[@BenHardyCars]

Well the 2020, but that’s just because it’s newer

[@ThePuReTive]

Full send strad jr❤️

[@st6887]

How did you get an orange raptor? I’ve been looking for one for months

[@allanyang21]

He wrapped it in orange.

[@CH-RC]

Disagree. Stock 2019 bumper looks way better

[@DangerClose805]

I’m only going to add lights and limo tint all around including windshield that’s it

[@ceverett68]

that exhaust sounds sick. in a bad way sick not the good way sick. wonder how much it cost to make his raptor sound worse than stock

[@iDJVinyl]

What exhaust is it? Looking at something similar for my 2020

[@BenHardyCars]

Vedhiilah SVT borla

[@stephenjay613]

Borla sound all day

[@ranlive1]

6:23. That looks like the Challenger you just reviewed. I like the lights on the bumpers of the white one but I like your front bumper better. It looks more substantial. Why did the guy trade it in? I agree with you, every guy needs a little blow off now & then. 😁 (Seriously though, what’s blow off?)

[@BenHardyCars]

It was that challenger lol and he bought a trackhawk

[@leecabell3375]

what are the bumper lights you put in your Raptor?

[@BenHardyCars]

Just Auxbeam lights

[@_walid_1798]

I loved it

[@derekhanson3127]

What upgrades are on the white raptor

[@BenHardyCars]

Bumpers, exhaust, winch, tune, light bars, inter cooler, tires, and intake

[@barrysoetoro3488]

Mouse farting through a straw 😂

[@BenHardyCars]

🤣🤣🤣

[@barrysoetoro3488]

Ben Hardy your videos rock, keep up the great work!

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

Heck of a mouse....bigger straw....

[@BenHardyCars]

Johnny Freeman 🤣👍🏻

[@Ewdred]

What type of exhaust was that?! Me likey!

[@AmandeepSingh-zc8wi]

I find the ricaro seats are more supportive with aggressive side bolsters. Reminds me of SRT8 challenger seats. Takes few months to break in but become more comfortable over time. Plus the blue seats look amazing interior looks so much better compared to one without ricaro seats and carbon fiber package. This is personal preference however it looks amazing non the less. other than that the 2020 raptor same as 2019.

[@3dakesx]

Wait a sec here......which one is stock and which one is modified? I don’t think you explained that part

[@jamesmcclure3502]

Any way to list the mods on the white truck? Specifically the tune and exhaust brand? Thanks

[@dustinaldridge47]

Borla exhaust, cobb access port, roush intake, addictive desert design full race inter-cooler, stealth fighter bumpers, rigid light bars

[@1aikane]

[@TheJoshua12104]

Anyone else notice the nail in the tire 😢

[@Wootangtw]

Rims... lol what exactly are rims...I wonder who started calling wheels Rims... Awesome trucks thanks for your videos buddy ....

[@NissanTy]

Downpipes only! the stock muffler and resonators sound best IMO on these ecoboost engines

[@BenHardyCars]

I love the sound when it’s completely straight piped

[@cirilogonzalez2642]

@@BenHardyCars a custom exhaust sounds good only on 2017, I have an 18 and I've tried different exhaust configuration and it sounds nothing ike that ,u cant even hear the turbo spool like the 2017, catless downpipe and stock exhaust with a custom bov is the way to go

[@rawright1972]

Ben, Good content as usual. But the takeaway is to get the front bumper with winch upgrade, everything else is not really necessary.

[@jimmy67001]

Locking ok ,

[@scotthertzler7619]

Nicee

[@321lkjackson]

your voice sounds EXACTLY like stradman.....that is very weird lol

[@larsgibsonsmelker1365]

I’m 99% sure you cant get that bumper.... since they wouldn’t be able to mount yours since they had to cut to install it

[@michaelsantiago6788]

lars gibsonsmelker that’s the stealthfighter front bumper from ADD. It’s a non frame cut. Simple switch back to stock.

[@larsgibsonsmelker1365]

Michael Santiago you are absolutely correct. There’s that 1% that I wasn’t sure about lol. Maybe I was thinking about the rock fighter

[@michaelsantiago6788]

lars gibsonsmelker I have the stealthfighter on my truck but I want to switch it out for a frame cut pro from add or a Mojave SVC bumper.

[@larsgibsonsmelker1365]

Michael Santiago not Tight enough or what? I have the pro bolt on

[@shanejudy4177]

I want the 13 minutes of my life back after watching a test drive around town and in a parking lot comparing exhaust notes. These trucks are meant to be driven hard, not to be glorified as pavement queens.

[@mrsloth_8820]

Ok

[@cortlandgolightly]

Did you notice the power difference??? You said it had 150 more hp, that should be really noticeable but you didn’t mention it. Who cares about the sound, geez.

[@DeeDee-be1mo]

Lol that exhaust sounded like my tractor ROFL

[@traviskorda3262]

Those are expensive bumpers for sure...modify everything for sure

[@BenHardyCars]

They look awesome

[@fredmartinez4248]

I'm a ford guy but that exhaust sounds like is throwing up

[@BenHardyCars]

Lol

[@peterbilt387]

15 tho in mods i would like to buy a truck for 15 tho lol

[@rtgrajedaminersedu]

westpalmdoc na

[@billolah1372]

Get it all but the exhaust . The exhaust sounds like crap

[@bencoyle7555]

No matter how modified your Raptor is it will never be as good as a modified TRX. Hell the newer Raptors aren’t even real trucks. They’re little V6’s. A real truck has a big V8. And no, the 5.0L and 5.2L aren’t big as far as V8’s go.

[@copperdan7667]

I'm torn.. I love my Coyote engine so much but I want a Raptor.. I'll guess I'll wait until 2021 and see what Ford does. I definitely dont like the sound of the 3.5

[@BenHardyCars]

I love the turbo noises and the exhaust isn’t that bad

[@copperdan7667]

@@BenHardyCars . Isnt it sad.. I've got permission from the wife to buy.. yet the sound of a vehicle is stopping me. I hope Ford hears our crys. 5.2 Voodoo motor please.

[@dontask8979]

I took the 3.5 and turn up the radio. I never in a million years thought I would ever own a V6 again, and I love it.

[@sandymitchell8182]

your truck is taller because it has a new upgraded FOX suspension for the newer raptors, your front bumper looks better,.. No offense, yes his exhaust sounds better but they both sound like shit so just leave it alone big waste of money to still sound like a shit. dont really like his rear bumper either, as for the engine mods yours is plenty fast unless your actually gonna go do the Baja rally. may sound like im bashing but im not,I think your raptor is awesome as all of them are

[@towertone]

OK, sorry....I got tired of looking at your hand in front of what I was trying to see. Moving on....

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

sounds like a fart can ben...lol..I'm getting my cat back installed on my truck tomorrow and ill show you what a truck should sound like. Went with Magnaflow cat back.

[@BenHardyCars]

🤤🤤🤤

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Exhaust sounds awful. Keep it stock as the engineers at Ford intended it to be. It's a Ford Raptor, start changing everything and its a mutant Raptor. For the majority of people who take these things off road, almost never, stock is way more than they will ever need. I can see adding lights if you go off road at night, and a winch because you never know, but beyond that it's just a waste of money for your typical Raptor owner.

[@BenHardyCars]

You are correct, but I do like the extra noise personally.

[@heartofdixie67]

Needs a 7.3 Godzilla with a blower !!!
