It was almost exactly a year ago, I found one of your videos in my recommended section, watched the whole video, subscribed and was inspired by YOUR channel to start my own. Fast forward to this year, and I just got my channel monetized. Thanks for the inspiration. Good luck with your Raptor in 2022.
Wow!! Sydney has grown up so much, since she's been on the channel last!! Thanks for making these vlogs and Happy Holidays ans New Years to you and the whole family!!!
You got to love those Chow Chows. They are one of the most protective dogs around. We had a Chow-mix once time and I'm here to say that you can sleep peacefully with all your doors unlocked.
My cousin ordered a f350 XL trim end of August. 4 months later hasn’t even heard anything. They told him 3-4 months. Gonna be waiting a while! On the bright side I pick up my 22’ Tacoma on Thursday!!
AMG winner cracks a wheel and then the previous owner gives him the original wheels. Did the winner call Mike and say "hey, I cracked a wheel can you help me out?". That winner is so lucky that Mike was willing to help. Ford recently made changes to their dealer allocations. Special orders aren't given any additional priority over dealer inventory units anymore. It is really an issue for Broncos and partly why it may take some people years to finally get one.
This video made me pull the trigger and subscribe to your channel!! I’m a first time Ford customer and soon to be (when soon is I have absolutely no idea) Raptor owner. I truly appreciate and thank you for calling out Ford on the disastrous Raptor order process. The Raptor is my dream truck and Ford screwed the pooch on this one. I’m in the exact same boat as yourself. Order in the system and accepted by Ford 6/14, then the fun began. Initial production date was 8/9 then shifted about 8 times and finally landing on 10/28. Truck has been “in production” since then with no end in sight as to when it will be delivered as it sits in a parking lot somewhere waiting for chips and whatever else. Ford should have NEVER built my truck unless they had all the necessary parts to complete the build. Now I see, as you said, Raptors that were ordered way after mine are being built and delivered with all their parts. I own Ford shares and have been contemplating selling them because how they treat their customers. I understand they are the best selling trucks in the world but come on @Ford get your s@#t together and do the right thing for you customers!!!!!! Sorry for the rant but I feel your pain bro, it’s a terrible way to do business and treat a brand new customer willing to purchase your highest-end pickup truck. Let’s not forget that there is now another competitor in this arena so Ford is not the only game in town anymore, this has just become a two horse race!! Happy Holidays my friend and hope you get your Raptor soon!!
Been following since last Christmas on Facebook and then on here. I Must say, I haven't came across a video I haven't enjoyed yet. All the best to you and your family for 2022.
I was waiting my raptor for 9 months, but finally arrived just day before Christmas, got myself a nice Christmas present. Good luck with your raptor, hopefully you get yours soon ✌
When that new Raptor comes in check under the hood before taking it home, Some guys have found out that when Ford parks these trucks on a lot somewhere to wait for chips to be installed varmints get into the engine compartment and chew on things like the engine cover.
My Gen 3 is being delivered today. Ordered in June, and build/ship date pushed back at least 5 times. Nice to get it after it being almost a YEAR OLD...ha. At least it has low miles.
Ordered a Ranger end of 2020. While it came in on time, the date on the customer side of the site had dates that kept changing in both directions. One day it would say a month, the next day 2 weeks. Then it went from 2 weeks to delivered in 1 day. Called the dealer, no truck. Dealer called back a couple hours later as the truck was being unloaded.
Mike we don’t mind if you ramble on. Lol. Just think how you can hang with your friends for hours shooting the s**t and never get bored. Sure we don’t know you on that level but that’s how we feel when we watch a RU-vidR for a while. Don’t feel you have to just rush a video. Keep up the good work.
I did really enjoy this video. Simple, no nonsence. Just pjre everyday life. Great stuff. This is even more interresting then all the wheel, exhaust and etc... thank you
Happy new year Mike to you and your family all the way from South Africa. Love your videos. Keep up the great content and all the best for 2022. Kellie.
Someone please tell me why a guy that just bought F150 3 months ago needs to be so lucky to win a raptor ? Somehow it’s never those that really needs a truck or car that are winning..
Belated Merry Christmas and have a very happy New Year. I sure hope 2022 turns out better than 2020 and 2021. Covid definitely has ruined the last 2 years and hopefully we can say goodbye to it in 2022.🎈🎈
3rd Gen Raptor didn't change much. I sold my 2021 Raptor because I was very disappointed. Good thing someone bought it from me gave me $25,000 over sticker price.
Hope you had a great Christmas and a happy New Years!!! Have you thought any about ditching the raptor and going with a TRX? They seem to be popping up here and there. Just thought since your wanting s Raptor R may be nice to have both the big boys.
Quick question? When you order a new truck/car/whatever and then they take forever to get it to ya, are you making payments on said vehicle? Or do the payments start after delivery?
Some guys on the Ford forums say it depends on the options you ordered on your Raptor for the hold up, But I get what your saying about Ford, You can't even build & price a 2022 F150 on there web site yet.
I can tell ya there’s hundreds of them sitting in Flat Rock waiting to get finished, along with thousands of F150s. It’s a mess. We moved about 200 of them to the repair area, then they told us to put them back.
Horsebite! Funny that my pop would also do the same with me and my sister (whose name is also Sydney) calling it "snakebite." Love your videos Mike! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
AutoVlog Great Video I'm glad your Mercedes AMG C63 is getting New Wheels and a New Exhaust and a Wrap and Congratulations to Brian on winning the Giveaway Raptor and I hope you get your New Raptor soon and Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Early New Year to you your family and all of your Subscribers
It’s not Ford’s fault. Every manufacturer is going thru it and some are eliminating options as a result. Ford wants to keep vehicle options on the table and make sure that when you take delivery it isn’t partially built
My neighbor he brought a 2022 GMC Terrain SLT after he sold his 2010 GMC Terrain that had over 200.000 miles on it. He has had it since like late January or early February. And he still has no heated seats because of the chip has still not come for it.
Finally a winner! Kinda weird he waited a week or more, not really a normal move for Mike the Rally & Holiday must have thrown his schedule off. I guess in my opinion when you have a giveaway that means that much to subs you put it off like a minor mod. First semi negative comment I have left in this channel.
Thanks for being one of the only content creators I've ever watched that is actually down to earth and honest about everything that you do! Keep up the great work and much love from Kansas City!!!
I just read today that there will probably be a bigger problem getting chips due to major flooding at two plants where some of these chips are made!! 😔😎💪
@@bryan7825 the one I read about was a plant in Malaysia and another one somewhere else over there. I didnt know about the ones u mentioned!! Thanks man!!😎💪🇺🇸
Mike I can see you and Sydney are not really related. She has way more hair but I think we can be related because I also have this solar panel style afro like yours 🤣🤣 Just joking. Cool video though. Have a blessed new year and hopefully we will see the "Danger Ranger" back in action again
If u have a VIN and order number you can go on a ford forum put in your info and you get all the info I did that with my F150 way better than dealing with the dealership
@Mike, we need more Danger Ranger content, how about collaboration Danger Ranger road trip with Brian's channel, he could be the support vehicle/backup mechanic.
Another winner from "down south" totally devoid of any enthusiasm. "Hello, this is Mike from autovlog" Winning guy reply, "Ahhh OK" - C'mon fella' you just WON 70K worth of truck for buying a phriggin' key chain. Bring The Energy Yo !!! 👉 🎭 💲 💲 💲
This video started off with me on the edge of my seat my dude! I thought you were going to hit your head on the hinges of the garage door! Phew, crisis averted! Still sad the winner isn't keeping it pink but to each their own.
How is it that EVERY vehicle contest winner on YT is A. NOT HAPPY OR SURPRISED at all....Always like "Yeah OK?" or "Oh, really? cool" B. THEY DON'T ACTUALLY NEED said winning vehicle.... ie, this dude who just bought a freakin' F150 3 weeks prior?! or the women who won Stradman's 'Baby Mac' Mclaren? - I DON'T GET IT...Let's get someone who actually GIVES A SHIT, and you can make a GREAT video out of it! - And, obv still pick at random, just screen the initial reaction.....But, Either way Happy Holidays and New Year to you and your family my man!
