I have a 37 package 2021 and I can verify that the Recaro's are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in in my life!

[bigguy]

Love the truck hate the shifter. The ones they made in 2018-2021 looked awesome, very solid. The ones today that fold down are all plastic. Great video, bro. Update: After having my F250 for about a year, i have since sold my truck. I totally miss it, but the gas mileage was absolutely horrible. I hated the shifter on the steering wheel column. Looked so old school. I did find a shifter for it, but to take it off the steering wheel and place it between the seats was over $1500 in just labor, and to me, it wasn't worth the cost.

I have 40 years Experience in Paint & Body . The left front door on your Raptor simply needs the striker adjusted in slightly to pull your door in . At the same time will fix the air leak sound . It’s a 5 min fix . I am still laughing at the thought of Ford replacing your door for this tiny adjustment ! 14:48

The adaptive headlights are the best thing to the automotive industry in years ! We have it on our new SUV as well

[BamaCooley]

I love my 22 Raptor! Did have to get the front bumper straightened. Waiting for my R now.

[vwhdz]

Love my '23 Raptor. Only things wrong with mine has been the auto wipers didn't work from factory & it needed an alignment. 5k mark engine is broken in. I also did my first oil change around then. EPG will improve around there, I am at 15-16 avg, but hoolin it 13😂.

[xaero]

These are not necessarily problems. I was hoping to see common problems that occur with the Raptor. How is the reliability of the V6 engine, gearbox? Why exactly do people complain most often when they take their cars in for service?

[philipgauthier]

I was going to tint my sunroof on my 2018 raptor. Multiple shops said not to do it because it can effect it's ability to shed the sunlight heat. Ultimately the glass could fail. Just passing on some info. I learned. Let us know if you end up having any issues. Thanks for the video!

[rickgray]

My 2023 Raptor has the same exact door panel transition. The bottom of the doors align perfect. The very top of the door aligns perfect. However the area just below the window, where you pointed to, the front door is about 1mm further out. Not bad enough for me to have it messed with. Body panels aren’t as good as my Lexus, but better than my friend’s Tesla.

[ScottColquitt-jl]

I went and watched my Raptor get built...after production they have a team looking at the alignment of the doors and all the seams to make sure they line up correctly and actually fix any mis alignment on the spot...pretty cool...but it looks like they missed yours...they will fix this issue if you ask them to.

[twisskevin]

I just watched your video I do believe if you adjust your Stryker on your door that will fix your issue with the wind noise and the door sticking out. You'll be surprised how dumb the dealerships are that they wouldn't figure that out. Also your lights coming on every time you get next to it you will wear your battery out if you're walking by a lot you can shut that option off.

[scottkaiser]

I do like my 22 raptor. Only thing I don't like is the step rails I think are on backwards.if you look at the cut outs they don't match up

[mr.soon.x]

I have the same Exact problem regarding the drivers door on my FORD RAPTOR 2023 37"

[Pjw]

The standard Revolver covers are notorious for dents in them from acorns or hail- the standard trifold ones. The cover you have looks like it would be better for small dents

[wlanceg]

you have to double press the tailgate button on the gen 3, so that's why you had to press it twice.

[scottkaiser]

I've had two recalls for my 22 raptor. Went to the dealer and they did a 10, 000mile service costing over 500$$

[gtitha]

Got my 23 raptor a month ago and is already getting the tailgate motor replace lol . Went bad in a month

[blazing]

Really would love a raptor but worry about reliability for such an expensive truck. Which do you prefer this raptor or the ram rebel? I know totally different

[andrewmladinich]

I live in south Mississippi and I do not like heated steering.
I have one on my Cadillac Blackwing and I acidentially turn it on and kinda burns my hands before I get it off and its too late.
Fit and finish is fine...I have the 37" wheels with bead locks.
I don't like tinted windows...and they attract cops especially in states that dont like tint.
I have the Orange and Tufskinz make loads of decals and I have blinged mine with every letter in orange and they are making me a few special orders. I'm not a decal delete dude...I'm 66 and we loved chrome.
BY FAR THE GREATEST TRUCK I HAVE EVEN OWNED OR DRIVEN.
If you get invited by Ford Performace to go to the Ford Performance Racing School in Tooele, Utah at the Raptor Assault...Go for it and you will learn why these trucks are so special. 2023 BAJA 1000 WINNER - totally stock with lexan windows and ran the A/C for 1, 100 miles. Everything is perfect...don't ruin it with stupid modifications for no reason. If you do I will send you the shipping and you can send me all those horrib;e OEM sucky parts.

[mjrmontoya]

I know you have a rebel. I own a 2024 rebel and I’ve had my doubts about not getting a raptor. Which do you prefer?
