Why I BOUGHT the 2019 Ford RAPTOR!

[@nicholasburak6174]

Intro camera work is on point 👌

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Thanks man!

[@Cristopher007]

I got a gen2 2018 142k miles been having it for 4 years still running really strong

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Nice!!

[@mojo4376]

The 2019 is the best year. Pre-Covid with all the bells and whistles. The Gen 2 is also better looking than the Gen 3.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Truth!

[@WhiskeyXNash]

Nice to see you back! - I just ordered the Morimoto headlights so the ambers are brighter during the day. I really like the look of the DRL of the Gen 3s. Will be installing on my 2019 next week

[@DEACONR6155]

Gen 2 is king

[@Michael-rl5ki]

Awesome truck! Looks great. Thanks for all the info! Cool stuff. It seems like there’s some deals out there for a good price on gen 2’s.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

There are definitely deals to be had. Most people are in denial that theirs is worth more than it is.

[@BMB______]

I have an 18 with 36k miles. So far the smoothest ride I've ever had.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

There's people that talk bad about the blue fox shocks and I never believe them. Good to hear man!

[@Forddude24]

I have a 23 f150 4 door and I absolutely love this 2019.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Thanks!

[@osvalditochirino3428]

Gen 2 looks better than gen 3

[@___asd159gh43]

Can you tell me the difference? I literally can't see anything different off hand.

[@blazing2557]

Great to see you back! I'm a gen 1 owner and love the 6.2 in it but can't help and think about going newer at some point. If I can afford gen 3i probably would but tough pill to swallow based on cost. Having a lower mileage gen 1 as i only have 84k on her, kinda torn but no payment as i paid cash earlier this year.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

@@blazing2557 dude it’s hard to go from no payment to a payment!

[@DEACONR6155]

Gen 2 is the only way to go.

[@blazing2557]

@@DEACONR6155 why do you say gen 2 is the only way? Just curious.

[@richmahoney4637]

I have this exact truck same color and graphics I also have a Gen3 a 21 and the ride on the Gen3 is better in the rear with the new coil springs and track bars and panhard bar but I can’t lie the Gen2 is somehow like the sweet spot it’s just a really great truck amazing freeway ride , amazing off road of course and it’s maybe not the best at everything but it does it all well and I have 130 thousand miles on my no major issues other then a cam phaser issue my extended ford warranty covered

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Mans got a Gen 2 and a Gen 3?? You're doing it right! Good to hear someone's real review on both while having both!

[@osvalditochirino3428]

Im pumped for my deal approved on my way to pick up my 2019 henessey fully optioned even carbon thanks for you’re videos I’m learning more I also chose the 19 from a car expert video said about the fox schock was worth it also the pan issue is another plus I’ve also heard just change the oil 5k miles I’m trying to figure out when to change the tranny oil are you wisely changing it around 60 or like manual says 150 I think that’s a no no

[@AUXITOLED]

Another solid video, Jim. Just straight to the point with everything! We released a portable Jump starter. Can we invite you to do a review? We have emailed for an inquiry.

[@Bibiweebee]

you should seriously consider doing a goosetune stage 2 to your gen 2.

[@goosetuned]

Why thank you! 😁

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

I really want too and probably will here in the future.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

@@goosetuned If i decide to get tuned here in the future, it will be from the man Goose!

[@RDSZ]

Night and day difference with the goosetuned, after that you never go back.

[@goosetuned]

@@f1fiftyjimmy thank you!

[@albertkennedyfuentes1716]

Gen 2 the best

[@rodneyburt8843]

How much is it to get shocks rebuilt? I hope I don't have to worry about this for a long time. I just got a 2023 Bronco Raptor and love it! Hello from another Iowa; I am in Central Iowa too!

[@DEACONR6155]

Just rebuilt mine. My warranty did it. But it's not cheap lol

[@michaelschuerman2847]

@@DEACONR6155hey if you don’t mind me asking, how did you get your warranty to cover the shocks rebuild? They don’t consider those a “normal wear” item like brakes? Also, you said it was very expensive, did they give you a cost breakdown and total? If so, are you willing to share the total number it costs?

[@rodneyburt8843]

@@DEACONR6155 seriously did the Ford ESP cover rebuild on your shocks? I thought that would be normal wear and tear.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Howdy Neighbor!

[@shotsix]

Surprise there was no mention about potential sunroof issues.. I sought out a Gen 2 without a sunroof due to all the issues I saw and read other Gen 2 Raptor owners had experienced.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

sunroofs a cool option but just gotta make sure you have that Ford Esp in the event of failure otherwise the cost of sunroofs is ridiculous

[@meynardsy6338]

How are your fog lights holding up? I just bought a pair, but after looking at reviews, I'm a little skeptical.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

They have been good, I'm not the biggest fan of them but I suppose better than nothing for right now!

[@travcoop1]

Hello sir, what gas are you running in your Raptor? Thanks!

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Usually premium unleaded 91 or 93 if they have it!

[@SwimTillIDie]

I just wish the gen 2 had the newer infotainment that the gen 3 and 4 has

I linked someone who did the infotainment center. Pricey upgrade im sure.

[@autovice7689]

Dude, the ramble. You said the same thing over and over. I had a 19 white Raptor and loved it. Never had any issues whatsoever. Tuned it with an upgraded intercooler, intake, exhaust and that thing ripped. There is no Gen 4 Raptor …..just slight changes for the 2024.

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

@@autovice7689 ya I assumed the 2024 was a gen 4, I failed at life.

How has it been towing the boat?

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Pulls the bass boat just fine with stock suspension doesn't squat much. Love pulling with the ecoboost!

[@ricardopiche93]

What’s a decent miles for a gen 2 2019

[@ArisenComputers]

What are you referring to as a Gen 4? isnt the current generation out is the Gen 3?

[@f1fiftyjimmy]

Im referring to the 2024's which I assumed were 4th gen but its just a gen 3 refresh I suppose. My bad.

[@ArisenComputers]

@@f1fiftyjimmy good point. I did not even realize the difference in headlights and a few other small elements but now i see it. Perhaps Gen 3.5?

[@WillMV8893]

Gen 2’s come without sunroofs?

[@carsondegeorge]

Yes

[@shotsix]

Yep, I own a Gen 2 without a sunroof.. it's rare though.

[@vbelbel490]

If you tow, get a real truck. F250 and up. Real trucks don't have spark plugs but you wouldn't know.

[@DEACONR6155]

Ya...he really wants a pos 250 lol. I've had 3. Stop trying to be cool. We all know the stroke is trash.

Who the hell would want a 250 over a raptor ?
