2019 Ford F-150 Raptor Off-Road Review 

It just beeped at me when turned on. Didn’t auto-steer for me at all.

@@drivingsports My 2019 Raptor only did that by default as well. You have to go to settings>lane keeping system>mode>alert+aid. It seems the "alert" mode is the default.

@@drivingsports It quite aggressively steers you back into your lane. Quite a shock when it does it actually. A really weird feeling. I have mine turned off, but could see how it would be handy on long straight boring roads. Great video by the way.

@@grgoss1 I fell asleep once and it jolted me enough to wake me up. Lol

Driving Sports TV there’s a button by the shifter I believe and you can have the lane assist beep or vibrate the steering wheel or both and also an option to steer you back into the lane. Mine is a 2019 with the 802 package and has this feature.

it would be nicer if Ford let me drive their vehicle because I ain't going off road with my brand new 70K raptor =)

@@rarityd that’s literally the point of buying one lmao

@@rarityd Then you should have bought a different car 🤷‍♂️ That’s literally what this car is designed for.

rarity your an idiot if you buy this truck and don’t take it off-road. Go buy a Range Rover if you are looking to virtue signal

@@rarityd You do use Ford's vehicles in their Raptor School. Also, nut up and let the big dog eat, that's what it was built for.

Chris Robinson really? Dang! Well, my comment was 7 months ago. I really like the Silverado. They look sharp and they drive nice. Like a rock!

It took me almost 10 years between seeing the 2010 Raptor come out and buying a 2019 for a variety of reasons. No regrets, love the truck.

By then the gen 2s will be falling apart. You'd be better off buying a gen 1

@Ernesto Garcia $500 is a lot, especially for someone with a family, mortgage etc. but I agree with putting as much as you can into some sort of investment. It's unfortunate but most people would rather spend their money today rather than invest it and see it grow exponentially over time. Real estate is a very good way to grow money too, through forced appreciation, market appreciation, rentals etc. almost anyone who puts in lots of time and money can grow ridiculous amounts of wealth in 10 years. A millionaire once said "most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10". Rich people truly have a different perception of money and that's one of the biggest traits the middle class lack, and it's the main reason most lotto winners go broke.

My dad has an 88 Turbo Coupe.. 39k original miles. That car was WAY before it's time

Lowkey flexing

I waited 10 years to get my '19. Other than some messing around between Sync3 and Android Auto, it has been flawless. My expectations were VERY high and it has exceeded them. And no, not just justifying the purchase - being straight up.

It is CAD which is cheaper than USD

It was ridiculous, but fun. The forthcoming Bronco will be the best Ford equivalent, I think.

@@drivingsports It did seem so fun that I want one!! Just can't fathom spending $73000 on a pickup truck that won't be as family friendly as a SUV. Sigh ... Will you be getting a Wrangler Rubicon and Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for review anytime soon?

No ETA on those Jeeps right now. They don’t have them in our regional fleet. Hopefully as the weather gets deeper into winter we can get one or both.

@@drivingsports That would be awesome. Thank you Ryan. Hope you hit 100K soon!

armaniusmaximus Why do you have to spend 73k? Get a base raptor supercrew. And no, there is nothing that comes close to the Raptor’s Peformance. Truck or suv. My custom build. $55,840 Base MSRP for 2019 Ford Raptor Super Crew (4 door) (800A package) $3,855 Total of Options -17-inch Forged Aluminum Bead-Lock Capable Wheels .. -4.10 front axle with TORSEN® Differential .. -bed divider .. -bed-liner spray in .. -remote start system .. -Tailgate Step with Tailgate Lift Assist .. $1,595 Destination Charges Price without taxes and license: $61,190 Price after Cali taxes and license: $67k and some change

Thanks, someone else pointed that out and I pinned it already.

Matt Pezzino - This is a “normal” sized truck that offers Comfort, Luxury, Exclusivity, power, Off-Road Capability etc..! Out of curiosity, What’s currently at the top of your list??

Yes, it’s called a High Output 3.5 EcoBoost. 450 hp & 510 lbs of torque stock. A real Beast!

It depends on what kind of offroad. Mudding - like running till you get completely stuck. Wouldn't do that with any new truck if I had the choice. Extreme rock crawling that has a tendency to be pretty hard on gear. Well, not only is a pickup not a great choice for that due to length and breakover, but a newer expensive vehicle is going to take some damage, that's for sure. Mine isn't a starbucks queen and is used for offroad. overlanding and it works great.

Trust me. You'd love the gen 2 more.

@@grgoss1- Oh really? Just the sound of the V8 in the gen 1 sounds beastly. But dont get me wrong, I definitely would take either one.

@@ryanm1316 Don't get me wrong. I've had a number of performance V8's in my life. Love the sound. Neighbors, not so much though. I thought the V6 sound would be a real issue for me and it isn't. It isn't trying to sound like a V8. But it does sound like there is something different, something performance under the hood. Probably the best way to describe it is that it grows on you. For non car people, they will typically comment on the performance sound. For car people, and for me, I'd say it is an acceptable sound. And in the context of the whole truck, basically a non-issue. I personally almost never think of it. It is an easy thing to think/talk/write about. Every kid and keyboard commando can take shots at it. All good. Some of the Raptor owners do tunes, exhaust and it sounds really good. Worth the cost, not to me. But to each his own.

@@grgoss1- Oh ok, I honesty like the performance of the Raptors. I know they're quick as hell right? Lol. But I'll definitely think about it. Thanks alot Greg!

@@ryanm1316 All good. A guy's gotta dream. I wasn't going to do the V6 for the same reason and the gas mileage and performance is WAAAAY better. Not to mention some of the other refinements.

They were listed as a separate line item with a price on the ticket for the vehicle we tested.

John 928 Electric. Button is on the door with other mirror controls.

2020 or 2021 I already seen a newer truck offering an 8cylinder.

Every year a bunch of folks say it’s coming, so don’t hold your breathe! BTW, it’s not necessary as the 3.5 HO EcoBeast packs more bunch. Put a Borla ATAK on it and you’ll be happy with the exhaust.

@@jamminhard well , there has been rumours about a ford raptor with v8 coyote engine (the engine used in shelby gt500)

LMAOOOOOOOO

Around Snoqualmie, Washington.

It's basically AWD meaning it's full time 4WD system that you can use all the time if you use the normal 4WD it's can only be used in snow and off roading it can't be used on dry pavement or you will burn your transfer case and 4WD system out I have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate Edition with the same Advance Trac 4WD system when it's raining out or the roads are slippery I put it in A4WD it's auto 4WD if it's snowing or I'm doing off road driving I put it in 4WD HI and it turns on the part time 4WD system

Paul M I bought my 2019 ford raptor supercrew to daily and use for road trips. Brand new in March 2019 and already 16,604 miles on that beast. What’s sad about daily driving the raptor? You just said it’s too big to Offroad. So where are we supposed to drive it? Lol. I’m lost. It’s a Baja truck, not a jeep. As long as the Off road trail is wide enough, it will tackle that shit better than any other stock car/truck. I absolutely love mine and wouldn’t road trip in any other car, not even an Escalade (which I can easily afford). I honestly don’t Offroad mine but I will go ham on some dirt roads or open terrain. I can’t hit the same trails jeeps hit. I’ll end up scraping and scratching my shit. But I will hit wide trails...

Frank Crooker what does politics or ones financial means have anything to do with this?

I live on the coast, no wide open offroading for me. The approach and departure are pretty good. Breakover is ok, given it is comparatively long for an offroader. The short box helps. And I have the supercrew, so that adds a bit of length too, but well worth it. There are some trails I wouldn't take the raptor or anything new or nice, for that matter. A 4 runner or whatever. There are fewer yet, the raptor wouldn't physically fit. Most people would buy a rock basher of some sort for those trails anyway. But I've been 4 wheeling in pretty much every possible type of vehicle for 35 years, many of those in an industrial setting, and the Raptor is simply amazing. It crawls up slimy rocks, loose head and fist sized muddy rocks, up extremely steep banks, and down, does brutal gravel roads at speeds that simply hurt your mind. And it does it all without breaking a sweat. This is not a $25k lifted jeep with 35s or 37s and good for bashing up and down tight goat trails. There is no doubt at all about that. But for everything else it does it amazingly well and with comfort and composure.

last night why are you typing in caps

White Knight you wild. I received my 2019 raptor supercrew brand new in March 2019 and have 16,604 miles on it! Use it for all of our road trips! I wouldn’t choose a different car/truck for our road trips. It performs much better than the previous v8 raptor. I still have my 2012 mustang gt that I’m letting my sister borrow. I just picked up a 2019 mustang gt 10 speed with performance package a few days ago too to get my adrenaline going. I would never ever trade the raptor in for an f150. Crazy. As long as you are happy is all that matters. Simply crazy is all.

@@joemomma707 I just got a '19, loaded. And love it. It exceeds all my expectations... which were very high by the way.

Greg Goss congrats!!!!

Joe Momma I’m not saying the Raptor is a bad truck ....it isn’t. I just prefer the rumble of the 5.0 V8 and the whine of the supercharger. I also had a 2018 mustang GT pp1 but traded that in for a Challenger Hellcat Redeye

@@joemomma707 Thanks, same to you.

White Knight you never owned a Raptor so stfu

Chris Ecoboosted Sorry to tell you this dude but I owned a 2019 raptor and lightning blue look for it on my Instagram page

White Knight nope, anyone can post photos. Dont believe u

Chris Ecoboosted honestly ? I really don’t care if you believe me or not then pictures show many of my toys on Instagram boats motorcycles cars trucks all toys jealous much? I’ve owned !them all

White Knight a six cylinder capable of 647 hp and winning Le Mans. My 19 6 cylinder is a beast. The end

We love ford you love toyota go and by one

White Knight fairly different trucks though. Depends what you are looking for in a vehicle.

White Knight hopefully nobody takes your advice!! Lol! Regular f150s look ugly compared to the Raptor!

Joe Momma At my truck and tell me it’s ugly if you think so fine but I don’t think you’ll think it’s ugly it looks so much like a raptor it’s unbelievable only thing is it’s 10 times faster LOL

Alan Bowers They’re really not that much different if you go look at the specs are very close the only thing different is that it’s 450 hp versus 650 hp and how many times do you take the thing off road versus driving on the street most people drive the mostly on the street anyway. Oh in the sound of the exhaust far better sounding on the Roush nobody can tell me that the raptor sounds better there’s no way

White Knight in my opinion, the Raptor looks much better. Maybe it’s because it’s a lil wider. Not sure. But I’ve seen many beefed up f150s in person and not one looks right to me. But hey! Whatever makes you happy. If you don’t mind losing out on that off road performance that the Raptor has, more power to you.
