Best thing... imo is gen1 used.. 25k-30k. Then begin your mods...new suspension etc...you can make it like a brand new truck., .. service that engine,, fix whatever goes wrong right away... you can drive forever... that 6.2l Engine will run forever...you’ll dump 3k per year in mods and replacement parts.. but you will always have a badass truck

Just picked up a 2014 Raptor a couple weeks ago for $42k. Dealership just got it in on trade, rebuilt transmission, brand new off-road tires, custom Kevlar-rhino lining paint job, rhino lined truck bed, with folding cover and drain system and 60k miles. Took it home to find that it had VMP 2.3L supercharger, Stainless Works headers and exhaust system... salesperson had no clue and said "I don't know how we missed that". So happy with my purchase. Love the Gen1 Raptors and can't wait to take mine out on a camping and off-road expedition. Just gotta get it tuned right. :)

Your shocks are probably blown out or need to have more nitrogen pumped in. I rebuilt mine and it's like a new ride.

Awesome video I'm looking at the same set up with headers has 90,000 miles for 33k ....thoughts

The only thing wrong with this truck is that it needs to be tuned to 180mph

On WoT he was like ohh shit 🚀

Supercharged 6.2 Raptor

I enjoy my Gen1 Raptor so much that refuse to buy a V6. Don’t care about the tech crap on new truck. Don’t care about the recaro seats. Don’t want the V6. I enjoy Gen1 so much I bought a 2019 F150 Platinum with 5.0l and that truck is going thru transformation at Pax Power. Will park Gen1 and drive sparingly. Ford is run by idiots who want to waste capital on driverless tech. Why car companies want to waste capital on driverless tech makes no sense to me. Car companies can’t even make any car without a recall and I’m suppose to trust driverless cars. Pax Power is the way to go if you love Raptor look and want a V8. Pax Pwr is putting a whipple, tune, exhaust, and 3.73’s on my new truck! Should discard any V6 with ease. Besides all that Gen2 raptors aren’t holding their value. They are crap and sound like crap!

Ya it's a, RRRAAPPTTOORRR. NO ONE maintains those. It's a mass Duch bag magnet.

I agree with most parts -- I have a 2014 Whippled raptor as well (mine has a catback). I chose it over getting a 2017 raptor at the time and I do not regret the decision. I think minus being out of warranty and having Sync2 verses Sync3 in the new raptors (if that's your thing) the parts that shine for me over the 2017+ raptors is outside of the V8, you're also paying taxes on a vehicle that's much less as well as insurance. I spent $42k, no dings or dents, and it was meticulously cared for by an older gentlemen and that came WITH the whipple and the 37''s that my truck has. So I think I really lucked out!

I went for a 14’ Ruby Red SE. I love it. I’m throwing a Whipple on mine soon 😉 great video! And yea I paid $45k lightly used lower miles. Love my Raptor 🤘🏻

I want to know if this raptor still holding up without problems how about an update video

Way to go bro. I built a Whipple raptor with stainless works headers and exhaust years ago. It was sweet. Building a forged 6.2L with D1 procharger and built trani now. Truck is too boss to accept whimpy eco boost. Turbo charged v6 belongs in Nissan GTR, not Raptors.

I put captions on the video and when you flor it it said [Music] thats how much my phone likes v8’s Raptors 😂😂

I have a 2014 FX4 5.0 V8 I paid $35k for and I don't think I'll trade for a new V6 $120k raptor

That's a sick truck bro I have a 2012 ford raptor with stage 3 roush supercharged and I fucking fun to drive👍good video bro

I was already sold on the 1st Gen Raptor, but this video sealed the deal. Nothing else anyone can say to me about a truck that’s tough enough to be used as a rental, be constantly beat, and still perform. #BuiltFordTough

V8 Gen1 > V6 Gen2. It's a personal preference, I love the sound of mine (Gen1) and plan on doing a SC in time. There's nothing wrong with the V6 Raptors at all. There is a lot of debate over which one is better. Owning a Gen1, I will say that the Gen2 is the better one overall, but you can't go wrong with either.

Opened this video purely out of curiosity to see if this is the same truck I rented back in 2016 and it most definitely is. It had 33k miles on it back when I rented it three years ago so it's only covered 6,000 miles in that time but they are most definitely hard earned miles. It used to have a huge brush guard covering the entire front end and extending around the headlights. It was scratched and dented just about everywhere, the tires were the stock BFG's and were literally bald. But man, I had a blast with it out in Joshua Tree and the Mojave Desert. The supercharger was just enough of a boost over the stock power level. It definitely was not a slow truck. Glad to see it's still kicking, I can't believe it is still being rented out.

I have the 13 Raptor. I am not sure I'll ever sell it. If one of those Turbo goes out grab the wallet.. I don't think the V6 will hold it value like the V8.

if i had the money i'll get a 1st gen raptor, bedline the whole truck, throw in a procharger, catless headers, x-pipe, boom tube exhaust tips, get all the windows tinted and better suspension. since i have a 04 avalanche z71 im slowly getting it to look and sound better minus a few things i didnt get but all in good time it'll be done. both are great trucks but my preference might be a 1st gen raptor for starters or a raptor r if i wanted to show off a bit

My opinion is that Gen 1s are more of the classic they are 1st Gen like early Mustangs, Cameros, ect. So for me I'm keeping mine Basically stock, I did put Eibach leveling springs they are rated real close to factory so the ride is basically the same, I just don't like nose down. I do have a Lear Shell With the frame less windows all Tuxedo Black and my wife and I use it as our expedition vehicle, as you said with all that room it's amazing.

A more modern Whipple will put down much more power. Ecoboost 3.5 does not compare!

Hey man. I have this identical Raptor model. Since new, black on black with everything - minus decal (factory delete). About the one in the video - not factory paint (body or bumper (s?) not factory tint front bumper is missing factory pieces missing factory mats blank screen comes on all Raptors cell phone holder is for hip holster cell phones (Ford's demographic choices are mystifying omegalul) factory wheels ( which behind the fake bead locker rings are dual purpose very real bead lockers with all the drilled holes already and a dual lip design that is a little engineering madness that works) you still would have to buy the real bead lock rings from Ford Racing I get 11 mpg using 91 octane free of ethanol. 11 mpg fully loaded hauling a trailer that's fully loaded. 11 mpg empty and light and driven to the gym like a my grandma. So 11mpg is what I'm saying The seats in Raptors are actually a nicer more expensive seat than in Fords luxury truck offerings, more padding and support was required for a truck that they could basically guarantee was going to be jumped, hooned, offloaded and very musk used for the task it was designed for (warranty covered madness) the running boards are factory as well. Btw they are the perfect height to keep away car door dings a lot of the time. the interior is factory and sad and boring and and and. Man is that interior a letdown. Then i did a little research and realized it was all designed with function over form in mind. bombing around trails and dunes means you might need info or something within reach in a hurry and it has to work as close to 100% of the time as you can get. my truck is 100% bone stock and has never been offroaded/crashed and has perfect paint and about 25,000 always garaged, always taken care of miles. This isn't bragging I promise. This is about as close as I can get to a full and honest picture to paint as possible of my truck and my experience. If you have any questions, if I have an answer or know where to get it I'd be happy to help. Enjoy the hooning, be safe-ish ;-)

"this truck has had the crap beat out of it....and....I....Love it" LMAO!!! that was too funny. It looks good in that morning light, but I can see where it is a little rough. buy it, you won't regret it.

Supercharged V8 all day 😍

Here's why it isn't - Chargers don't come stock and 17's are way better from factory ride, electronics, drive modes and looks. if you can't afford a new one an old one with a $10,000 super charger seems like a step down. $300 tune on a new one and your about where the 14 is. The only thing the Gen 1's have over the Gen 2's is sound!

Who’s bathroom mat is in this truck😂💀

Sharp looking truck. Good times offroad

I think I should keep his Land cruiser turd and let me know where this truck is so I can buy it

Car guy doing a truck review? 🤷‍♂️ Have a 2014 Gen 1; bought used at 93k miles. You couldn’t pay me to take a Gen 2, personal opinion. Turbos/engines failing, cam phasers, piped in noise, all for $70k? Love all raptor owners regardless if it’s Gen 1 or 2, but did the Gen 2 ever run the Baja 1,000? Asking for a friend 😉

You said it best in the video. People buy these trucks to have fun. 60% will never go true off roading. Maybe a patch of grass or fire trail here and there. The other 40% get the absolute shite beat outta them. Nobody goes easy on the fun pedal at the dunes or trails. Anyways... 2010-2012’s are starting to slide below $25k 2013 & 2014 can still command $40k ish depending on miles and the vehicle mods. Plenty of 2017 & 2018 up for sale. Lots of repos thanks to predatory dealerships and ridiculous mark ups. Having driven a stock 2013 and stock 2018. The gen2 is overall better. Who really gives a toss about the v8 rumble when you’re blasting through whoops and trails. Gen1 is great, gen2 feels lighter and nimble. The 10spd can get annoying tho... Fuel economy sucks for both. If you even have to take that into consideration...for a 6000lbs 600whp 4x4 it’s not meant to be.

I got a 2012. I love it more than most things. Those wheels are oem. I had a 99 lightning prev and i miss that whine from the sc. The skid plate usually tells the tales

I have probably watched this video a dozen times. Always makes me smile when I hear that super charger whine and I see your expression. Amazing truck! I have a 2013 that I want to supercharge. I also have a TRX and the SC whine is absolutely addicting!

What is the horse power fot F150 ford raptor whith and without Whipple super charger

I've seen this truck on Turo lol (can tell from red hairy rug)

I bet a carfax would show an accident on this truck. I love the V8, but if I were going to do a supercharger, I'd see if I would have a quiet supercharger put on it. I've never been a fan of the supercharger "whine", plus it's nice to be an incognito sleeper . The non-whine chargers do exist (you can't hear it on the Z06). If I remember correctly, it's the Roots types that whine.

I’d choose a 2011 raptor with 150k miles over that 2014 LOL that things beat but 6.2 is practically bulletproof.

wich is best roush or whipple super charger honestly?

Have a stock 2014 SVT Raptor with UNDER 69000 miles. i purchased it at a Ford dealer as a CPO. It is garage kept super clean. As for now I don't believe i'll sell her.If I continue to keep her in CPO condition I believe she'll be a good investment. unless Ford goes back to a v8.I'd never get a v6 eco-boost Raptor

Am just wondering... What is ur intakes temperature like in day time drives around city , highways, OFF- ROADing, WOT !! Iam trying to figure out if it reliable to go fo especially on hot country Like Dubai summers :)

As a V8 dude, the Gen1 sounds better, no doubt. The advantages end there. This isn’t taking into account, you know, things that the Raptor was intended to do, like off-roading lol. ** Gen2 has a much broader power band with the 10r80 (6 gears more aggressive than a 1:1 vs. 3 gears more aggressive than a 1:1 in the Gen1), +2” more suspension travel with 3” IBP shocks/coilovers, 500lbs lighter, superior AWD transfer case, stronger Raptor specific steel reinforced frame, improved approach/departure angles, higher ground clearance, etc etc. The Roush supercharged stage 2 Gen1 is slightly slower than a bone stock 800a Gen2 SCab. The information is out there, all you need to do is look it up.

I gotta admit the supercab looks better on the raptor 😂

I don’t want my moms 4 cylinder Jeep renegade passing me at 160 in a supercharged v8

Too much wining

Mine is still a pavement princess. Might part from it one day. Still my dream truck

I want mine to able to get the trx at least 740hp if I’m able to get it supercharged

6.2l all day

im getting a big kick out of watching your emotionless "testers face" turn into a little boy grin when u stand on this girl. If its any consolation >> im grinning way before you brother

If an old reliable scratched truck with a v8 and supercharger bothers you just keep you range rover 😂

What’s the pulley size on this whipple ? Is it the one that comes with the stages or you went lower ?

Thats a hard lived truck!!! 39k miles and looks like it has 350k miles on it!!! My 2014 has 75k miles and looks nothing like that. I did have to replace two shocks both on front passenger over the life of the vehicle but warranty covered that... The shocks are suppose to be rebuilt every 10 to 50k miles supposedly.

1:21 I'm surprised that you're suprised that it doesn't look like a well-taken cared of truck. It's a Turo rental where the goal is to maximize income ;-)

You are gonna pay 1000 a month on gas

12:00 real talk 👍🏼

What the fuck is up with the red carpet?

Whipple v8

Soooo…I’m currently in an 05 LC and really debating on a gen1 raptor

6.2 6.2 6.2!

Answer 6.2 V8

1:05 appalling

I cant afford a new so am thinking of buying a 2013 for 32k that has salvaged title with 32k miles. Knowing what exactly happened to it & how it got repaired will give me clear view if it's worth seeing it. Mpg is another deal breaker.

V8

What exhaust was on this truck?

The V8 sounds better but that's about it, the gen 2 Raptor is next level in every box you tick off. Frankly the super charger sounds like a band saw at least to me. And it drowns out the rumble of the V8. Twin turbo's sound great when you step on it. Gen 2 has a stronger chassis, larger shocks wider interior, more drive modes. Is more refined on the inside and has menacing looks. Oh and the little V6 shares over 60% of the LeMans winning engine you find in the Ford GT not to shabby.

Why would you have a raptor with duralast batteries!!!

I bet the shocks are blowed out if you feel it being choppy.I just had mine rebuilt and heck of a difference.
