I Bought A Raptor With A V8! - 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Review

I am about to reach 200k miles on my 2014 raptor. It’s been a reliable champ so far. It’s one thirsty truck tho haha.

I have a 2012, 186k miles and it is hands down the best truck Ive ever owned. Reliable and powerful.

I have a 2011 Gen 1 with 247, 000+ tons of power. Freaking love the Gen 1 V8

I bought a 13 Blue Flame color with 109k and absolutely love it. It was a one owner as well and its in great condition. Great trucks

[albertayo]

I have a 2013, its an amazing truck I wish ford can bring it back with same spec, its the perfect truck for a truck guy ....some people want 1000hp truck but honestly this truck has the perfect amount of power in my book

Great looking truck. I dd the shock rebuild from TSW at similar miles as yours and it transformed the way it feels. At 100k miles it was the best money you can spend. Also don't forget to do Fuse 27.

Awesome! The newer V6 might be quicker, but who wants to listen to it? Not me!

Glad to see you enjoying life and keeping the channel fresh! Cheers from Canada!!!

looking at a 2014, 90k on it, supercrew, VERY clean inside and out. asking it about $37, 000 - Good? bad? It did have that bad noise when trying to do 4x4 low, but i did not 100% follow the owners manual steps (oopps) any thoughts?

I have a 14 raptor with 57k miles, all stock, it’s a beast nothing better 😮‍💨

[iholguin]

Thanks for the vid man, picking one up this week 🙌

[edwardpoff]

Mine has 205k on it now. Still running strong

[alexandermcghee]

Love these trucks. Look and sound incredible. I'm looking at buying a 2012 raptor, but heard that year had a few issues.

It would be interesting doing an engine swap on a worn out 6.2L Gen.1 with the new-ish Godzilla 7.3L, more power and torque, maybe better mileage too.

[matthovater]

I owned a second gen raptor and it was amazing sold it during Covid and hopefully I’ll be back in one soon. Looking for a first gen because the ecoboost isn’t as reliable

[STEWDEE]

6.2L engines if maintained with good synthetic oil routinely go over 300k no problem..You got a good one it sounds like..

[willfrisbie]

love the video! I got a knock sensor code on mine too. It ending up being a couple bad coils, they were shorting to the engine block and triggering the code. got all new coils on rock auto and we're ripping!

[chevyrocks]

I got 104k on mine and it’s still roars!

[atomicorang]

Good take on your new to you Raptor!
My last new F-150 was in 05. Have had 3 Tundra and 2 Tacoma the last 20 years. All were excellent trucks.
Am planning on a RV trailer to pull but wanted more truck than not enough.. Bought new F-250 7.3. 2 months in I'm used to longer wheelbase. Love my decision.
Your best video in my opinion is the Chevy Malibu sleeper. ❤

Bro, I have 2013 gen 1. Bought it salvaged and rebuilt it. What’s giving me issues is that the frame got a little bent and it makes the truck vibrate at around 50 - 60 mph . Any suggestions or ideas ? I believe I could get that piece of frame sawed off and weld a new one on.. but I don’t know what you guys think ? ( who ever is reading the comments too lol )

[bigdaddysh]

I'm deciding right this minute between used Raptors. V8 or the 6. I'm undecided as of now.
