Here's why the 2023 Raptor R might just be the perfect daily driver, if you can live with the comical fuel economy.

As a kid, my neighbor had a 1959 F250 4X4, affectionally known as The Brick. It had a tricked out 460ci beast of and engine, and sounded like the devil lived under the hood. Not comfy by any measure, but it slapped the pants off a shiny new 76' Vett down the street.

[@Veyronp87]

I just can’t stomach 6 figures for a truck no matter what it is or how special the engine is. I guess I’d rather have a 60k sports car and a 60k f150 lariat

[@retrograde11]

Truth! $150k for a pickup? 😂

[@DanRichter]

I'm glad there's people out there like you who refuse to pay these prices. Because if everyone was willing to pay these prices, they'd probably be over $200k. Luckily, I can still get mine for a good price.

@@DanRichterlet’s be real: 99% can’t afford it so most opinions have no value

[@VictorN124]

I would love to see you doing 100+ down Las Positas between Stoneridge and Hopyard in Baja mode. You will probably catch air.

[@peanutbutterpadre1519]

It’s spectacular off road and a very cool truck but unless you are trying to blast trails at 100 the regular f150 4x4 is about as capable the best options in my opinion would be a power boost with the raptor bodywork and 35” tires 🤤 if I ever replace my 2013 ecoboost that would be the ideal combo but my truck is almost at 300k and still boosting like new!

Best Raptor content so far..I subscribed Zygrene...keep the content coming..GO FORD!

[@Kevin-xz4jq]

Do you miss your BRZ at all?

[@cbotten106]

The price isn't the problem, because that is a whole lotta truck! Commuting in something that gets 10mpg seems, er, rather inefficient. That paint looked really good though, gotta say.

$113,000.00 American funds comes out to $151,500.00 Canadian funds . Not including Canadian tax . Lol with Canadian tax it's $171,195.00 Canadian . Our awesome government is fucking us up our ass at every opportunity . That's what a Raptor "R" would cost me in Canada 🇨🇦 lol I payed $135,000.00 tax included for a 2022 Raptor twin turbo V6 .

[@gmann3300]

Edmonton dealer had a 2023 Raptor R with a price tag of $211,000.00. Yeah seriously

[@maxybon1234]

That’s nothing, here in Australia they have to be imported and converted to RHD as they were never released here, so they come out at $390k inc on road costs. About $256k usd

[@aconfusedazn]

Holy crap that’s wide.

[@knz5893]

I would be pretty happy with a regular raptor.

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

Don't drive trucks smh

[@knz5893]

@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks they are pretty useful when you want to tow your car to a not so near by track

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

@kevinz5893 true but they're a burden on all of society

[@motoMarineracer]

What a truck! Even if I could afford it, I think I'd go for the Ram Trx instead.

[@CarStory]

My local Ford dealer wants a $30k markup on the Raptor R.

[@Zygrene]

A little cheaper than what I've seen recently.

[@trumptookthevaccine1679]

That’s low

[@LCculater]

Does that truck still have a big ol radio antenna ? Wow

[@EdgarGonzalez-ik5zz]

they kept them since they better at pickuping up FM & AM radio signals out in the rural areas than the compact style ones

[@trumptookthevaccine1679]

They are necessary Tom make sure you have clearance

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

Probably more trouble than it's worth....buy stock in BP......

[@wga15]

I would feel like a clown paying anything over msrp for this truck.

You Must hate yourself every morning when you wake up..Omg🙈🙊🙉

[@nathanielbohner2859]

I only pay MSRP. If you dont you are a sucker.

[@trumptookthevaccine1679]

MSRP isn’t a magical number. It’s some number the accountant picks out to get margins. Market determines actual price.

[@paulfavret9488]

What’s this world coming to? Really testing a raptor are through the Starbucks drive-through. I will definitely not buy one because I don’t want people to think I’m that guy. I purchased one of the first 2012 Ford Raptors here put a supercharger in it and my first test not on KZbin was at a race track getting an airborne and showing what the truck could do. It’s now got 90,000 miles running perfect and never needed any repairs whatsoever, I really wish for that price tag that would come with a set of testicles
