600 HP HyperFast Ford Raptor - One Take 

Hello everyone! Thanks for watching. As always, when we show a tuner car, debates flare up in the comments about the validity of dyno testing. Apparently, everyone is a cheat, except the guy you use, right? Anyway, I have contacted HyperCar Development for some clarification on the exact dyno equipment so the accused "artificially low" numbers can be verified, as well as sent notes to other tuners to check if the gains in power are comparable to what others are seeing with similar setups. If/when I hear back, I will post follow-ups here rather than responding to individual comments. The goal is honesty, transparency, and someone selling a package that works as advertised, but the fact is that all dyno machines read differently, and, again, all that matters is the GAINS, not the stock and ending numbers. If +125HP/+175TQ is consistent across the industry with this setup, then there is no reason to question the dyno figures, because they do what they do correctly - show GAINS. However, if something feels fishy, my allegiance is to the audience, not the tuner, and I plan to share that information if I get it. My personal stance on the matter is that it would be pretty stupid for a company to lie about their dyno numbers and then print hundreds of cards out with that chart on it to, give away at a show and have people like me show on camera. You're litterally setting up a model that can't be replicated later by the customer. Pretty stupid indeed. The whole door was full of those cards. I do not think these are stupid people, so I will take their data at face value until I have reason to believe otherwise. Considering this is an off-the-shelf package, customers gains should be consistent with my test car and the printed chart.

275 stock wheel HP? where did they do their testing, on Mount Everest? I would expect it to be around 360ish from the other dyno charts I've seen of it.

Gotta love the RU-vid comments this morning. Panerai looked nice 😁

The road is so smooth, can’t believe it. What a sweet ride!

Power number question aside, the Raptor is an amazing truck that can offer some great off-roading and still daily drive. My coworker has a 2014 with a few miles mods that he daily drives.

I had my Raptor dyno tested at More Power Tuning. 7 runs were performed on the dyno by Mike the Owner of MPT (love the guy). The rear wheel HP stock was 339 HP and that was on a warm engine on a hot day in Florida. Although we did get some 285 HP output readings when the engine got hot and heat soaked. The Raptor has HUGE variances in HP output based on outdoor air temperatures due to it being a turbo with an intercooler. Regardless, my stock torque reading was 354 ft-lbs at the rear wheel. After the MPT tune was installed, they got my final numbers up to 398 HP and 445 ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheels. These numbers are very close to what you state were your final numbers in your video. Again, dyno measuring a cold engine Raptor versus a hot heat soaked Raptor can and will vary HP and torque outputs by a HUGE amount. Tuning will still have some variances when the temperature changes, but I have found the variances are MUCH less as compared to stock.

Some guy down the street has the 6.2 with turbos. Sounds amazing.

You should do your ads via product placement. Like just have your ball powder and razors on the dash and use them while you drive throughout the desert.

Damnit I want one of those petrolbox subscriptions. It’s like all my standard monthly frivolous purchases done in advance! The trucks pretty cool too.

I personally love the exhaust note from the HO Ecoboost. Especially one with an aftermarket exhaust.

Nice to see a Raptor actually being driven off road!

Glad you said that about the power loss through the drive train,don’t think a lot of non car people get that.Ford puts out this HP number that sounds impressive but at the wheels this gen Raptor does need a little help to be what it should/people expect!!!! Your the man Sir! Love the videos!

Sorry Matt, your numbers seems to be way off. There is no way something making only 275WHP will make a 5600+ pound truck go 0-60 in 5.3 seconds as shown by MotorTrend. Hennessy dyno’ed a stock 17’ and got 365WHP.

275whp and 250wtq?? I'm guessing you just believed them and didn't actually check it out yourself. do you really believe the truck has 45% drive train loss?????? They dyno right at about 350whp and 375wtq..

I agree with a couple of the others. I've had mine dyno tested a number of times while trying to add hp and stock has always tested between 357 hp and 365 hp.

the road looks like a racing video game with the "never reaching" mountains or w.e.

By the way, hope you enjoyed your trip and had a great time relaxing and spending time with your family. 👍

damn, i can only imagine rippin through the desert like that. I hope your able enjoy it even though you do stuff like this all the time.

Matt's the greatest. Very real and doesn't bs

"Hennessey measured a max of 365 horsepower and 422 lb.-ft. of torque at the Raptor's rear wheels" So where did they get these bogus stock numbers to make their tune look better?

Lookin’ fit, Matt.

This looks like so much fun.

Look forward to the videos everyday, sorry to hear that Matt is not going to be a staple on them and they might not be so frequent. It was nicety break up the day and take a few minutes out the work day and enjoy the vid, but I guess things change.

Anyone care to explain what happened to MotorTrend? Glad TST still puts out videos like these

Wow never realized how much drivetrain power loss there was. Learned something. Thank you!

Yes sir that’s a bad ass truck right there.

Ultimately, No ones opinions matter except yours. You gotta follow your path in life so I totally respect your decision to move on Matt. But I already miss the days of one takes. The ones where people would bring their tuner cars and you’d give an UNBIASED opinion of the cars and how their particular setup effected the cars dynamics and feel. It was the only way to get unbiased reviews of those particular products, on those particular cars. I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to Zach carrying the torch. I’ll be waiting, and I’ll be a loyal viewer. Best of luck in your new endeavors. Aloha.

do they make raptors with out the cab?

in REAR wheel drive the raptor stock produces about 365 WHP and 422 lb feet of torque (Motor Authority)

I don't know, but for me it sounds good.... not V8 good, but more like Dakar purpose built car good.

This truck is amazing

I want one so I can take shortcuts to work :P

That was a sick one take Matt. I’m going to miss them. Say in the public eye. you, og spaghetti and Alex have been my favorites for years! I also hope you make it to lime rock to beat poppa toms 318 in proper!!! 👍👍🇺🇸

Time for Matt Moreman to upgrade the new Raptor with this go-gast stuff! haha

Man, I'm going to have to find a desert to get my Raptor going like that. I live in the Swamp.

Looks fun!

What kind of Burro is this?

When does Zack start doing the one takes? You Must've had a couple months of these logged in already

Great video the only thing is you are testing it on a smooth road like a Freeway

I'd love a raptor but here in the UK they are going to be catastrophically expensive :(

Sad day here on RU-vid. As some of you might have heard the rumors are true. MotorTrend has indeed committed youtube suicide. We all saw the signs, decrease in content, teaser videos, deletion of comments, then the likes and dislikes,small extra's videos etc... RIP MotorTrend it was a good ride while it lasted. Seems like the gearhead world is dwindling more and more. Matt if you ever need to talk about anything, i employ you to speak with your fans before making any drastic actions. We are here for you.

sick man!

Good one, Matt!

Things like a boat gotta wait for it to plain out then you feel the speed come on

Where was this shot!?

What driving mode were you in? If you were driving in normal that would make a huge difference vs Baja or even Sport. So much so that I'd wager all that extra power in Normal mode would be the equivalent of a stock truck in Baja mode.

Great video.

That Panerai tho!!! DAYUM!

Does anyone know the front and rear bumper that were used on this raptor?

Where was this again? The scenery is almost as cool as the truck.

Enjoy your Trucks especially this one. Its one of the things I miss the most back home. Aint gonna own no truck in Germany lol

I missed this guy

Matt, toy should get Petrolbox to do a diecast Mustang like yours. Kind of like Magnus did with his Porsche. I'd buy that! Oh, and I hope Mountune does a tune for the Edge ST. I've never wanted a crossover before, but if the Edge ST lives up to Ford's hype, I want one.

Matt, Long time viewer here. Just wanted to say how much I respect your hustle. You inspired me to vlog my startup journey. Can’t thank you enough for the great content over he years. Love the new podcast btw ❤️🤘

And those numbers. It has been widely reported that with the '18 version of the ecoboost, the hp/torque numbers were 450/510. I dont know what you got there, but it sure doesnt seem to be the '18 version. I'm with ya on the need for proper sound, though.

Joe rogan is so damn cool. Love that hes a car guy too

Who makes the bumpers?

Wheel hp and torque stock sound low?

This was an awesome video Matt!

what is the brand of the front bumper

Any reason why the N/A Cyclone sounds much better than the EcoBoost Cyclone?

I wish other trucks would offer paddle shifts like the raptor. Everytime I do a burnout in my Ram it's shifting it's ass off to stop, ruins a lot of fun to be had.

Where is this?! I want to take my truck there

Ive always wondered why Raptor dyno numbers have always been so low vs F250 Powerstroke's which have half the associated drivetrain loss of a Raptor, same goes for Escalades if people gonna blame drivetrain losses on the type of fuel it burns.

Ford needs to make a turbo'd V10 Raptor

If those gains are true thats crazy for a tune on a gas vehicle its almost like how diesels respond to tunes.

HP is king on the top end. Torque is about 0-60. Quarter-mile trap speeds will tell you everything.

True Dual Cat-Back?

Why as he pulls out at the very beginning of the video do the back tires spin more than the front?

Surprised if the injectors could feed that gain never mind the stock turbos pushing it tbh

That is a big jump from triple turbos mclaren to a truck!

You’re telling me that the Raptor is losing 175 horsepower from parasitic loss? That’s about a 40% loss. Curious what dyno they use. Most of the numbers I’ve seen for the new Raptor are between 330-370 RWHP and 350-420 rear wheel torque which seems more reasonable. The numbers you quoted are alarmingly low. The only thing I can think that would give them that low of baseline numbers is if they were running larger tires than stock when they did their dyno run or they’re talking All Wheel Horsepower.

im still gonna send it

i think you are wrong about the stock wheel hp numbers... shocker. Hennessey dynoed a stock raptor and it made 365hp and 422 tq at the rear wheels.

I like the sound of this one better, less is actually more in this case I think.

As for all the comments about stock wheel hp. It doesn't matter as long as they used the same dyno in similar atmospheric conditions to do the stock and after the mod runs.

This with a R2.8 or the new 3.0PS. Fun in the desert and easy on the highway.

Send it sticker on the back😂

Matt, your videos will be dearly missed all around the world, so much awesome content over the years! I hope you will still make occasional videos, if you find something truly special- greetings from Estonia! :)

Why is the check engine light on

The V 8 is sadly missing. The exhaust is so quiet. Sad...

Put in 4 hi advance track off steering in comfort mode sport mode works great at the dunes fyi the aluminum body raptor is lighter and stronger

Can someone tell me the location of this review ?

so 600fwhp = 400rwhp? seems a bit of a stretch

Is it bad I always check if someone put when the video starts in the comments.... too many damn ads and paid promotions

Is that a big green egg BBQ?

Even if those numbers were "only" +100 and +150 it would still be impressive. Anyway, tjhe "seat of your pants dyno" is that counts.

fkn lol @ that lack of front bumper, looks like it got its teeth knocked out

Matt is right right about the sound. It's still sucks but it's not as offensive as the factory sound is.

“Send it”...see SXSBLOG!

What are you guys using to record during the walkaround of the vehicle? Iy looks super washed out.

Stock wheel is 360hp in 5th gear. Post tune 460 hp 480-510 torque 7th gear for torque pull increase 20 foot lbs. att you should have said 350 cause that’s what the real power should. Be. 250 hp would be a naturally aspirated engine.

Did I hear him wrong he said double your horsepower with tune?

True dual with X... Sounds same logic like "single tube dual exhaust. True dual is true dual. G wagen have one

Check engine light on, better fix that up first :)

My favorite truck would be a Raptor with v8 super charged but with a 8 speed, all black with red interior. 6ft bed and crew cab. One day

Really entertaining video. A good example of what a vehicle like this is built for.

0:57

Anybody know what kind of glasses he has

nothing about the new suspension? stock suspension on the 6.2L was a gimmick. i understand this to be beefier. i have 6.2L with stage 3 RPG upgrade and i am curious as to how serious this new stock suspension is relative to the different upgrades on the previous generation.
