2024 Ford F-150 Raptor Review | Is the EcoBoost Enough?

When you want to have fun with zero care in the world, the Raptor is certainly one to consider. With plenty of power and ground clearance, you're less worried about your truck as you are about running someone over.

I have had my 24 Raptor 3.5L 37 package (same one in this video just white) for 7 months now. It still makes me smile every day, i offroad a decent amount impressed for a stock truck what it can do coming from a tundra built prerunner in the dirt world, its a lot of fun. No complaints on my end I am sure the R is a different beast but it’s my fault and already 160 bucks filling up each time would be worse with the V8 every week if that lol

I’ve never felt I needed more power with my ecoboost Raptor, it’s not a race car but for off and on road it’s more than adequate for everything I’ve ever done in it

I feel compelled to respond to this video with my experience as an owner of 2024 Raptor 801A. I traded ina 2019 Gen 2 Raptor after 5 years of ownership on the 2024, so I have a bit of experience with the platform...something Jimmy obviously lacks during his assessment. Yeah, I agree the R is a beast...but still has at least a 10-15K mark up and in some markets 25K which puts it in the 140-150K range. The upgrades that FORD has done with the 2024 801A are impressive...the dual live valve shocks give a Cadillac style ride on the interstate / highways...the seats are luxurious and comfortable for a truck. The twin turbos spool up very quickly and acceleration is awesome for the vehicle size. The Sync4 and my pass app works flawlessly together. The 2024 has a heads up display provides speed, time, temp and directions when using maps as well as lane assist monitoring. My 2024 Raptor is the best truck I have ever had the pleasure to own and I am 60. Ford knocked it out of the park with the tasteful upgrades and build quality this year. Go test drive one and see for yourself....instead of listening to a car review guy that probably doesn't even own a truck!

If you actually take the Raptor off-road, the Ecoboost is already way too powerful. Not sure if the horsepower from the Raptor R is gonna do anything besides making the front heavier. But, of course, most Raptor owners drive their Raptors on the pavement so I suppose V8 is the cool one.

Raptor R is competitor of TRX, I disagree 802A and 801A Raptors are not comparable to TRX due to V6

I owned a 2022 Raptor, and now I am confused whether to buy a 2024 Raptor or to buy a 2024 F150 xlt of road.
v8 5.0leter Your opinion is important to me and I follow the channel. I use it inside the city and sometimes I go to the deserts

Ecoboost is tunable and there’s a market for it. Upgrade the turbos, downpipes, tune, FMIC, some corn fuel and that’s all you need.

Ecoboost is enough if you get goosetuned!

My ranger raptor will have 455hp and 536 ft lb torque in a few days and was cheaper (but smaller which I like as I do trails with it)

Not much help if the truck is worth buying
