The 600 HP Hennessey Velociraptor: Muddin - /TUNED

It's raining in Texas, perfect weather to test Hennessey's 600 horsepower Velociraptor truck. Here's the formula: Start with a 2013 Ford Raptor, and add boost and a disturbingly loud exhaust. Sounds like a win to us. The problem now is, the whole crew wants Matt to buy one.

[@Zen_Modeling]

Hennessey has never built a motor or car in his life! But, he is,was an expert hiring some dope ass wrenches!!! His mech helped me with a new RX7 in 1991, 500hp with bolt on stuff. Hessessey is an awesome cat & a great biz-man, Was happy to see his success!

[@DrummaBoy202]

wish he would've filmed the wash at the end. Would have been SO satisfying

[@Hoffie92]

exactly what i was thinking :D

[@MrCoopdeezy]

Kripple Hippo he probably could have made another video of just washing the truck and got a good amount of views lol

[@hiascloud]

I like how he says "good truck" like it's an animal haha.

[@CronicX007]

70 grand out the door? Hell I'll take 2.

[@ElSherazi]

I my self respect *FORD* because they've made: _Eleanor_ _exhaust system_ _Raptor_ *MUCH RESPECT FOR ALL THAT*

[@tommygooding2308]

The 2017 raptor will never sound like that beast

[@zanelucas512]

Mrpanda it's okay, you can lease one!

[@coachdsimpson]

I live an house away from sealy and has worked out in sealy before. I pass by the Hennessey race track a lot but never knew we had this much awesome near Houston. Thumbs up john Hennessey you make Texans proud. Oh and I helped build that new Carl's Jr on exit 709 on I-10 so that's nice.

[@quintonmx24]

+coachdsimpson straight up lol

[@RevolutionMuscle]

+coachdsimpson you should do some research on Hennessey. He isnt a good guy. He is a scam artist who has ripped off many many people. Search "John Hennessey scam" on google.

[@Zoxur]

If I were rich I'd buy one. 70k is a shit load of money. But this wouldn't be my daily driver. Just a stock raptor or f150 is good for me

[@TheWilliam1991tube]

For any

[@Beaumont6]

+Zoxur Look at the mileage, you need to be rich to be able to keep this car on the road

[@shapshooter7769]

dont ask A Flyin’ Miata LS would also do the trick, but understated

[@datro864]

@@Anonymous-wu4rw For 70K you get nothing, except a bill for the inevitable lawsuit you've had to file after you find Hennessey has taken your money and truck, stripped it for parts and left it sat up in his shop for 6 months.

[@alexmessina1403]

so im pretty sure this truck is a good first truck right?.... right

[@jay_volpe]

This is great video editingfor its time. great stuff

[@stratton8851]

I live in Texas Dallas county in fact. And what he said at the end is very true, trucks are king in our state. We have places were we can rock climp, but we also have mud holes as well. Taking this to the Desert would be alot of fun, and they aren't that far away.

[@TKTmon]

so matt, between this and the sdhq eco-raptor, which do you like better?

[@AnglerDanNE]

He said this in another video.

[@thorsakencairne]

One day.... One day I will own one of those...

[@MrMusix101]

I always had a passion for this truck. It's a really bad ass truck and it's easy to take off road or even be on the road.. I love that because you can easily put a truck in 4wd but this truck. It feels comfortable in dirt/mud situations because it had that in mind while being built. Congrats ford.

[@MrROCKMUZK]

Hennessy dump exhaust...3 words "I'M IN LOVE!😍"

[@TheSmokingTire]

the 800 upgrade is very expensive, it requires a full engine and transmission rebuild.

[@TheMotherklucker]

can we just get a video that loops the sound of that engine for like 20 minutes?

[@blindinjustice]

The Drive video's absolutely nail getting the engine sounds recorded right. Better than top gear I rekon!

[@TheSmokingTire]

I own a Raptor, and it's one of the most versatile vehicles I've ever seen. You can tow with it, haul crap with it, we use it as a camera truck, it has a luxurious interior with all the technology you'd need, it's comfortable for a road trip, cool enough to bring to a car show, and can run the Baja 1000 in completely stock trim with a roll cage and warranty intact. It's heavy, just like all other trucks. Besides that, what's not to like?

[@eezus]

Lmao 3.6 to the gallon...

[@eezus]

***** 1.53 kpl lol not very much. it basically drinks gas like no other!

[@BrandoCommando793]

+Raul Ilea Basically just think of how much you would say is pretty bad mpg/k and divide that by four.

[@letsexplore9527]

That's less than a Bugatti

[@marcuscrawford9197]

It's a truck for fun...If you want mpg get a hybrid

[@mojondro]

@@marcuscrawford9197 if you have a better tuner you probably can squeeze more power out of that truck and better mileage to boot but this guy just bolt on a bunch of off the shelf pieces on to a truck and call it a day and that's not tuning

[@matt6951]

16,000 for a supercharger and exhaust? Fuck that!

[@SyreGames]

well.. and cutouts, and a trans (mind you a largely expensive trans)

[@crystalmcintyre9035]

Chris Chandler Don't forget the supercharged stickers....

[@ottis679]

Chris Chandler for 16k$ i could put a transmission rated to 900 horse in my truck along with a brand new 572 big block putting down 720 hp at the crank, and then throw on a turbo kit and id be pulling well over 600 rwhp and still have the nastiest offroad pickup in town.

[@ottis679]

im definitely taking everything into account. ive done loads of motor changes from sbc's to bbc's and bbc's to sbc's. but thats saying id lose like 120 horse from the crank and i doubt itd be that much so id still probably have easily over 600. and eat up trucks like the raptor

[@LosSkywolfGTR]

+Matthew Gordon It's because it's Hennessey.

[@DanielDaniel1]

That sound is to die for

[@rafciuuu921]

Beautiful sound

[@wozzihumperdink6301]

"...and for 70 grand out the door, how are you gonna do better than this?" Buy a 1st gen used Raptor for about $25k and add a Procharger for $7k. Total of about $32k for the same thing.

[@somerandomperson6005]

That's true. I think I might just do that in the future.

[@Eidrian111]

Prochargers are the best for the raptors!! Huge power gains all over the band.

[@herpderpinson6117]

Eidrian111 Don’t Prochargers tend to add power more towards the high end of the rev range? Last I checked, Roots/twin-screws were for broad power bands

[@Eidrian111]

Gerardo Amaro well yeah but pro chargers are also noticeable on the lower end of the powerband, obviously not as much as the roots but then again they are more economical driving normally cause they are similar in function as turbos.

[@commando2074]

ram runner. more Baja pedigree. but still love the raptor. ram runner and raptor ftw.

[@InfuriatedHawk]

Both good, but the Raptor has outperformed the Ram in multiple tests, so I think it will help build up that pedigree.

[@commando2074]

no. ram runner is more faster and way more Baja. nuff said.

[@jdorf40]

Nathan Dial That's not what the pros say. They aren't even close.

[@commando2074]

SO I WOULD KNOW

[@jdorf40]

"More faster and way more Baja." LOL

[@BROWNBROWNIES612]

I subscribed because my dad just got his raptor made into a velociraptor and so since im getting that truck when he gets tired of it I love ittttttt

[@MrRayMac1963]

I've had mine up North on some Michigan mud roads. He ain't lying about cleaning it for the next four days. Dirt gets in all kinds of places on that damn truck, and it takes at least 3 washes before you stop seeing mud in rinse.

[@jonaswythe2583]

6.2L v8 460hp??? anyone else think thats a little weak??? 660 at the crank 460 at the wheels??? somethings not adding up here

[@iamimad123456]

70 grand for a ford ???? O hell no

[@heatmoon]

Got a friend who custom ordered a f350 decked out with red interior, diesel, all the stuff, msrp....$79,000. Whatever happened to the plain old truck to hauls trash, wood, alll that. Feel bad scratching a 79g truck.

[@tibaal89]

already a very powerful truck, $16K in suspension would make it a hell of a lot faster off pavement than motor upgrades.

[@joshz7712]

10 years ago and still a good watch. I daily a 19 raptor but I want a gen 1 as a project truck.

[@isaiahverdeja8766]

lol this guy is so rich. he talks like 70,000 isn't alot at all.

[@db_auto_photography4539]

Isaiah Verdeja it's not bad.. payments would be 800-900ish a month. So normal for cars like that here in la. You must not live here. 70k wont even get you a new Amg. Leases are good too

[@JDUBZisYAHWEH]

How can you do better than the 70000$ velociraptor? A velociraptor with a stickshift!

[@RevolutionMuscle]

+Bigpimping Papercut you don't put a stick shift in a truck.

[@evanshaw6123]

+TheHardcoreLife really?! Wow... You do realize they used to make stick shift manual trucks a lot before people became too stupid to drive manual. You can actually still get stick shift trucks if you factory order them.

[@ashilling97]

+Evan Shaw Thank you! Exactly my thoughts

[@evanshaw6123]

+ashilling97 Manual>Automatic. Full control. Power when YOU tell the vehicle you need it. No delay like with automatic. It's why every high performance race car has a stick shift or paddle shift instead of an automatic. They're just better. I can't believe people don't get that. You know wants up though!

[@evanshaw6123]

+ashilling97 *What's up*

[@TheMotoxmaster22]

can someone please say what exhaust that is? he never says in the video

[@vivekkothari92]

I keep coming back to this video just to hear that exhaust

[@danhentes8569]

hes talking of $70k like its $700

[@patrickpelletier6315]

If this was mine it would stay dirty, not just because it does look great dirty but because its a truck, to me i dont see why people clean trucks like these, the Raptor is made to go offroad so its supposed to be dirty. It might just be me that thinks that but honnestly i dont care to me a dirty truck is proof of a person using their truck as a TRUCK and not a car in the shape of a truck like unfortunately most people around here do.

[@thomascampbell1024]

100% agreed

[@Barberdan]

In your 2nd sections of on-going sentence "because It's a truck". Wrong, A truck is most typically for hauling and towing. Offroading is for an ATV which Ford has done a fair job of here. I think you should be corrected to "because it's a Raptor". I totally can agree then.

[@19651999mustang]

i agree but on the other hand if you don't clean it every so often it will begin to rott its still metal

[@Barberdan]

That acidic mud will teach you to wash your 45K truck hopefully before it's too late.

[@SyreGames]

Not washing it is actually a pretty bad idea. You'd be very impressed the amount of damage mud can cause to a truck.

[@JoelStrickland]

Another great video guys, so wish we could get even the standard Raptor Downunder

[@carriehanson7058]

Now that is a really nice truck dude I love it dude I really do.

[@mikewest712]

you are lucky hennessey didnt part out the camera car while you were there, John Hennessey = crook

[@beyshadow]

What did Hennessey do?

[@mikewest712]

do a little internet research

[@beyshadow]

Mike West I looked it up. I know now.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Those kits are incredibly expensive and very rare, of the 20 or so Raptors Hennessey had at his shop only one was getting the TT kit, and it was in a million pieces at the time we were there. The supercharged kit is their volume seller.

[@maximumslinky]

"i told you, the supercharger doesnt change the size of the god damn bed!" hahaha classic

[@gabehartman6832]

6.2 liter? What would a 6.0 LS do with that kind of boost?

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[@FortressMT]

great vid!

[@mixxes07]

HONEST QUESTION. I have a2010 ford raptor but i decided on the 5.4 liter would it be worth adding the 16k to it being a 5.4 engine to make it a velociraptor?

[@harveytrevino2257]

Love the review!!.. You earned yourself another subscriber here.. :-)

[@Catboy.]

That boost gauge in the vent was dope af

[@hoplite46]

[@kaysandesses]

If I look it up, huh? Damn, that's quite an argument there! I'm convinced.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

Would it be practical at all to send your Shelby Rapt or to get modded by hennessy?

[@BullshotDarts]

if money wasn't a problem, id def go with this beast!

[@Sjackson2369]

a nice name for the build. velociraptor. not just a comeback from the jurassic, but also a combination of fords Raptor name and VELOCITY

[@Lifestyleprofessor]

Raptors are the coolest Pick ups ever :)

[@JTonnn]

Different Vehicles for Different terrain.. This would make for one hell of a ranch truck!!

[@EatmyDust1311]

The Supercab Raptor is a unique truck. In 2009, Ford stopped selling supercab short bed F150s, and the Raptor is the only truck with that 133" wheelbase available. Its also the only short wheelbase F150 available with the 6.2L engine.

[@wreckemtech165]

What's the exhaust on this? I know it's electronic but any idea's on brand?

[@TheSmokingTire]

They have sold a few of them, mostly to the middle east. The 600's outsell the 800's nearly 50-to-1, mainly because the 800 requires a complete engine rebuild.

can the exhaust on this truck be used in a regular f150 2012?????!!!!!

[@MattyD209]

I'm not really that much of a truck person but here is my opinion on why some people would rather do gasoline: Most stations don't carry diesel, you might have to go out of your way to fill up, the cost to maintain a diesel engine is enough to think twice, when something does go wrong you can't take it to any mechanic, you have to go to a diesel mechanic. Also it is comforting to know that a well-known professional has tuned your truck, not a locally known shop that could have made a mistake.

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

It seems that its just 2wd. Can you activate 4wd? Im not sure whether i heard something like this.

[@qasimmir7117]

How about getting rid of the speed limiter altogether?

[@ethananderson3912]

How much would a 600 hp motor and parts that are strong enough for 600 hp cost?

[@darkshiv]

does someone know, is the raptor supercab significantly different in handling than supercrew? i know its theoretically different but i wonder in reality how much.....

Hennessey makes any car badass. The raptor is an awesome truck regardless. Im not a ford fan but im a huge fan of the raptor.
