Basically this is how it should’ve come from the factory

[@georgediaz34]

Love the Shmee shoutout

[@-stealthy-cricket8209]

Really nice. This is my favorite truck. Now that I’ve seen this one with the v-8, sweeeeeeeeeeeet is all I can say. Very partial to the two door version. I’d love to own one. Much like anyone else. Sounds awesome.

[@rickloc4309]

AMAZING!!! GREAT JOB GUYS.. I WISH I COULD AFFORD ONE... I JUST BOUGHT A TUNDRA SO, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP FOR THE R&D ON THAT. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR IT!!

[@brellnob]

Ford should've stuck with the V8.

[@eugenepaull9513]

This Man Has So Many Masterpiece Products. He Is A Genius!!.

[@Von45Rose]

Great video! I will never be able to afford one but I really appreciate you being straight on the cost.

[@sealoftheliving4998]

That is Awesome Mr. John Hennessey. Soon Ranger Raptor will be sound like this V8.

[@rexbk09]

Best advertisement/infotainment within any auto category!

[@ElzettaDesign]

V8 engine - just like it should be.

[@international-arms-dealer]

John with the shout out to Schmee! haha I like it.

[@robescano9095]

Good morning ☀️ love veloc raptor great performance Conpany in the world 🌎

[@lb150t]

I hope they develope a modd for the Ford Edge st making about 400/450hp that would be awesome.

[@rgms573]

Is this V8 equipped with port and direct injection like the regular F150?

[@RockyTop1911]

A millionaire's truck. I have the regular Raptor and love it. That thing is in a whole other class. Very nice!

[@desantn3658]

Do the paddle shifters still work with the f-150 trans?

[@nohoidoloo-]

Beast!

[@FloorItDuh]

It's cool but not 150k cool. You might be able to sucker some rich bloke with no smarts into getting one but I think the rest of us are just going to go out and get an F150 with a V8 and do the suspension mods needed to mirror the raptor in terms of performance.

[@speedtwitch]

I just want to know, in general terms, how they install a 5.0l V8 in the truck. I know it physically fits and mounts to the F150 frame, but how do they manipulate the ECU and TCM, so that everything works like a factory truck?

[@nickoli615]

Looks unbelievable.

[@matt-justice]

Amazing! Is this shot on the new GoPro?

[@Driv300mph]

You guys have a gopro looking at the speedo -- could we see that footage from the drag run?

[@A619D]

Love it!

[@carsonschechter141]

Beautiful

[@jb1995]

Hennessey does it again. It sounds and looks amazing! Do you finance? And where do I sign up?

[@mdezee1]

Love that v8

[@msyoutuber217]

Nice I would love to drive that and love the name

[@brellnob]

This is wonderful.

[@colekitten1367]

400 love the start up sound

[@preetamdasika7636]

6:50 Still got that awesome supercharger whine

[@anthonyross2508]

are you going to offer a conversion for the new 7 Liter Ford that will be the new Super Duty motor...

[@lukelatino407]

Nice truck.👍

[@schwarg]

Would love to see one of these in a singlecab.

[@gt4th]

Bad ass! So what happens to the original engine and trans? Selling those would sure help with the cost. God I want one.

[@convex7456]

How many miles is your guys work fully warrantied??? For that price how good is the warranty. All assuming the owner doesnt change anything under the hood.

[@donwarner6925]

Now all they need is a Ranger Raptor with this V8. Take my money!

[@estebanalmeida]

why you didnt put brembos on the rear? sick trruck tho' !

[@shawnp3901]

Wow. What dreams are made of

[@pirruripirruri4731]

Nice truck

[@reaality3860]

Take notes, Ford! This should be available for order straight from your factory.

[@Royalties500]

Gorgeous truck! Would this be more cost effective to get a Lariat 4x4 and swap suspension and add bodywork + the blower... Are customers getting a core price for the engine & transmission swap? Found my answer, the factory raptor bodywork + paint match / factory raptor complete fox suspension + blower swap and LABOR is roughly 40k on top of the V8 4x4 Lariat truck... Silly to pay for the "Raptor" if you're going to chunk the engine and transmission.

[@samuelblacksmith2956]

My dream truck!!! Goals....

[@only1true540]

Sweet 💪🏾

[@colekitten1367]

This is what the raptor should have been made great job mr Hennessy

[@manimaarants]

Damn, I need this in my life. 🤯

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Definitely professionally done.

[@BobbieDoll13]

I need that truck in my life!! REALLY BAD!

[@JsGarage]

I really appreciate that you guys took the time to do a proper Raptor sway. None of this "lets put Raptor stuff on a regular F150 because it's easier for us as we didn't do the R&D to swap ideally". I would have liked to see this 750 HP swap in an otherwise stock truck. For a minute I thought you were going to beat around the bush and not mention prices as a down side lol. You did mention it though and I respect that. Awesome swap. Would love to see one with the swap, more setup for desert running and not mall crawling. Maybe one of you customers will order that way and you can share it with us. Great build Hennessey.

[@mdubk2023]

Would it be cheaper to buy a factory 5.0 and supercharge it do whatever raptor has shocks tires bars lights brakes cheaper than 150$?

[@44444444640]

Now I just need 2 more raptor videos. 1) drag race/top speed race between 1st gen raptor, 1st gen velociraptor, 2nd gen raptor, 2nd gen V6 velociraptor, and 2nd gen V8 velociraptor. 2) A half hour video of this thing slinging mud from every angle.

[@lavarclemmons8440]

Yes ford should go with the v8 what i won't to know can they make a eco v8 with a turbo for the f 150

[@MarkJCarruthers]

Is the $65k conversion fee with Hennessey keeping the original drivetrain?

[@Hugo-lu8dk]

Magnífica!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@sandyorencia5876]

Greetings from Philippines! That is a Monster Truck VelociRaptor. Its so so Awesome! Sir I wonder why there is no cover in the Air Filter?What is the purpose for not covering? Because most of the Cars has cover in all Air Filter. As what Mechanic explain to me that there should be cover to protect from Dust from inhaling. Does the dust will come to the engine if there is no cover? Also the sensor will be full of dust if there is no cover. Ford everest 2007 of my sister has cover. Every time schedule of change oil, Mechanic will remove the cover and blown by blower all the dust in the filter.

[@mdubk2023]

Do they throw the ecoboost in the bed or they keep it sell it on the side? I wanna know

[@texasbradley]

Great, informative video. Do you source the 2019 gen 3 block and components for the power plant?

[@MaaRkoRi]

You must be do a drag race between the velociraptor v6 vs the v8

[@209clicka]

Who seen the 6x6 video that post Malone just bought ?

[@Matt-qe9bo]

This is a real raptor 👍

[@benboman5325]

that extended cab makes it look bad ass, looks like a 2 door car!

[@codybivens3076]

The Raptor everyone wants

[@craighunter6456]

How long before we see a V8 6x6???

[@muammererdemmergen8013]

Soo good

[@danieltorquemadajr5395]

Finally a real Raptor!

[@Dreamcardriving]

Velociraptor is sick Man and that 6x6 for post Malone was epic! very creative! have yous done a wrangler 6x6?!

[@rubberguy1982]

dude I wanted to see the speedo with the acceleration pass that gives a much better feel of the quickness

[@FordFan01]

Awesome, but not worth no where near $150k.

[@omaral-subhi8514]

How can I buy one?

[@wellingtonmsj]

Man, I envy this guy

[@typhoon5000]

Would be cool to see a drag race vs a stock EcoBoost Raptor SuperCab.

[@stevewenners]

SHMEE 150 (Tim) is a great guy

[@heliomacie4094]

big machine

[@JoseLopez-lk1br]

This is a Real ANIMAL Ford Raptor

[@nassers293]

I love V8 engine

[@h-waytwan1257]

Yep Ford stick with the V-8. Hennessey good looking V-8.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

Why don't they have a 6x6 Velociraptor with a V8 engine?

[@blizzy031]

I believe they do

[@edgargomez8662]

How many weeks does it take to build, a work of art like this from a stock Ford Raptor?

[@joaocarlosrms]

Monster

[@ghst6647]

Baja that's hilarious. (Why did I say this... I'm going to hell... lol) GO FORD!!!!

[@daxtarmusic8149]

I WANNA SEE THE HENNESSY DODGE CHALLENGER HELLCAT

[@ivanporcalla]

Wwwwooooowwww!!! I'd love a Raptor V6 on my Ranger Raptor! I don't think a V8 would fit.

[@jojolozano4868]

5.0 with supercharger

[@KingAhimz]

Now thtz what I call Raptor ....V8!

[@facetiouspig2691]

why not keep the stock raptor 10 speed?

[@3500Hogie]

V8 that's the way it should be.

[@reyfuertes135]

Speedometer?

[@leonardoaray3559]

You guys nailed it again, with a V8 just like it should be. Way better than Salomondrin's Raptor tho.

[@lynneferrari7669]

How about a velociraptor v8 6x6

[@Jonathan1969Stingray]

Give me one now!!

[@TheAlliebaba1]

Good looking truck! Sounds way better than stock! But... I couldn’t afford one in my best day!

[@josephlee8818]

I waiting to see a Voodoo Raptor 😎

[@draxthedestroyer1685]

I’m a Chevy guy all day. But god damn that 5.0 sings

[@danmurphy1994]

Those Hennessey 20" wheels are beautiful! Love the extended cab look. Wish they made a regular cab raptor with the short 121.9" wheel base😂

[@MOSIC-ZA]

What happened to the speedo?

[@steltoronto7553]

HENNESSEY simply the BEST ! 👍😎👌

[@saulograhanquispeanchante8640]

Price in Dollars pls!?.. Tnx

[@iancrisellajahvictoria21]

Is this 4x4?

[@clewis3252]

Also somebody looking to get a Gwagon probably isn’t comparing it to a F150, no matter what kind it is.

[@Revival85]

fk thats awesome, wish we could get stuff like this in australia, but we stuck with shitty 2litre raptors that cost 85k

[@adrenaholic1]

Needs more boost
