My Cheap High Mileage Ford Raptor COSTS HOW MUCH to fix? 

Did it cost more or less than you expected? What other videos do you want to see from my garage?

I made you

Moral: Drive more and reduce your per kilometer costs.

As someone who has been here since you got the raptor, this genuinely makes me happy, especially you fixing the tail gate step😂

This Raptor and Yuri's prowler inspired me to find my 1992 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Found one with 37,000 miles in 2019. Just hit 57k this year. Keep up the good work man.

I think this is honestly a testament to buy a vehicle you actually want for cash and then maintain it! So many vehicles are built to last and will actually put a smile on your face when you drive them. I love the E55 wagon as an all Mercedes owner. C63s, E53, C400. My 2015 C400 lifetime ownership since purchasing new has been extremely low because I took care of it. Now that it has been paid off for years it is such a pleasure to drive!

This channel is a gem! J - love this spin off!!

This channel is way more interesting than what TSP has become! I’ve switched to THe competition to TSP (I overdosed on car mat ads and all that) but I’ve subscribed to this and will keep watching.

Very Cool Jakub! I'll admit I stopped watching straight pipes for some reason. But I promise I'll subscribe and watch again. Love this new channel too.

Great info. Great presentation. Great editing. Great doggy. Great way to start my Saturday!

This was a really, really good video. 😂😂 well done! The edits rocked. Pup is a superstar.

Jakub I'm liking your new site. Keep it coming Buddy 👍👍👍👍👍🍻 Oh and get that garage hooked up with HVAC.

It looks so clean! My 2011 with 196k looks far older thanks to it’s long life in the Midwest. I went with new shocks from Rockauto, which was a no brainier over rebuilt. My wife has a 22 Acura MDX and I often grab the keys to my Craptor before the Acura. Unless I am going to a tight parking lot… Great video, thank you and keep going!

Nice to see you got a “keeper”. Great cost rundown. Great edit. 👍🍁🤙

Amen to preventative maintenance Jakub!! My ‘14 is reaching 370k and climbing! Take care of her and she’ll take care of you!! Ps. If you haven’t already, give the truck a Krown treatment! Especially with the salt we have in the GTA, your frame will thank you!

Glad to see that you're still getting your money's worth and that it's still putting a smile on your face. 👌

Very reassuring to hear good stories on these trucks especially with high miles! Great investment of fun!

Love the rapter, it's always nice to see it in the spotlight

Great video! I love to hear these ownership costs on cool stuff

I can’t believe how long you’ve had it now, so cool when you got it and I love it now. Really liking the channel too mate.

Love your video and your new channel! "Car talk" and used cars are what we needed from StraighPipes, so this addition is perfect. I have a 2010 Raptor (black). It used to be my dream truck and I bought it at least partially due to your review. I LOVE it! I spent a lot on it but that was mainly preventative maintenance as well. Fun fact: I love the factory Raptor stance. I bought it "leveled" but reverted to the factory settings. Partially because the lights were blinding others. High beams left the first 8 meters of the road unlit, haha! I try to baby it while trying to have fun on- and offroad as well. Actually, it won a Sportsman cup in a drag race recently :) I understand where this world is heading to and who knows, I might go electric one day but until than I will enjoy the last bits of the V8 engines. Thanks again for the content!

You are lucky to have good mechanics that don’t rip you off and over charge you.

good video- I'm searching for a 1st gen / white / crew / 6.2 right now. Appreciate all the info you've provided

Excellent video!!

oh man, the dog all the time like "who is guy talking to?"

Everything is a trade-off, great vid explaining all the costs.

I also loved seeing the raptors at the toronto auto show and was finally able to pick one up this year! I love it

Love the wheel and tire setup.

Good video my friend

Awesome video i don't know if you'll see this but this definitely gives me more confidence about checking out a 2010 5.4 with 274000km for $17000

I was in love when the raptor was dropped at the detroit auto show I went to back in high school. Fast forward today and I finally have my own raptor after a lot of saving lol

Great video! Puts perspective in used car ownership! beautiful pup btw.

More car ownership videos pls! This one was very interesting!

Great breakdown! These are still some awesome trucks. I still get fired up when I see one of these out & about. While the gen 2 Raptors do not have body rust to worry about, the complexity of the eco-boost motor is going to make them a tough buy in the secondary market for long term use/reliability.

Great video

I remember watching your video when you purchased this truck. I had a 2018 Raptor at the time and watched because of the V8 Raptor desire. Fast forward to now and I have gotten rid of the Eco boost Raptor trash and have a TRX. I absolutely love it. Its a 2022 and only 13k miles on it, but I know there will be a time when I will get rid of it and with the prices of the V8 Raptor R and the Hellcat TRX going away and the price of new trucks in general, I am thinking I will buy an older Gen 1 V8 Raptor as they are affordable and the 6.2 liter engines are great. I really enjoy your Raptor videos so thanks for the value and entertainment. I am a few years away from a Gen 1 V8 Raptor, but your videos have helped with the information I need to solidify my decision when the time comes.

I love how your dog is just sitting there.

The shocks gave me a headache, but so worth trying to find them and get that truck running right!

That was good to watch.

That’s crazy I’m 44 and remembered seeing that exact color raptor when it came out at the auto show in Minneapolis. I wanted one bad I think it was my favorite at that years auto show until the following year…. When I saw the white L.F.A Lexus at the same auto show. We couldn’t buy it at the time. You were only allowed to Lease it. We thought why on earth would you want to only lease it? Wish I persuaded my wife to go after the L.F.A with what they are worth now. We could afford to retire early, even with this crazy inflation going on. Glad to see you got your Raptor with tasteful mods done to it. Very nice! I’ll have to get one.

I'm caught up. I like this thanks Jakub

As long as Rex approves, it was a good buy.

Been on the fence about making a ridiculously awesome high mileage purchase... seeing the raptor updates may be the motivation I need.

Amazing video. Not to be a downer but this is interesting. I don’t care if the cup holders fit a small tims cup or if the visors extend. It obviously sucks if they don’t but I don’t watch RU-vid to find that out. This! Is perfect!!!

I’m happy to say that I bought a high mileage raptor and all I did was replace the shocks instead of having them rebuilt other than that the only thing that I’ve done is replace all items for better items and nothing has broken yet. I have not had the same issue as you thank goodness, although I did have a rust issue on my lower cab on both side.

Vehicles are an emotional purchase. you don't have to justify it. I love your wagon, I always wanted a stanced A4 wagon.. one day ill have it.. just need the garage first xd

That's my dream truck. I have a 2017 Ford F-150 3.5L and I love it

Good vid

So cool! Makes me want to buy a high mileage 4Runner and let my buddy at Ward Tirecraft maintain it for cheap!

I like your videos gonna watch then💯

Hum … good video man 🤝

Kind of like this channel more than TSP 🙂 I definitely want to see detailed video on SL 🙂

First gen raptor was the best looking. Plus that 6.2 was awesome. Still holds it own today as well

I love the 1st gen Raptor … they’re just bulletproof in every sense.

Third brake light is raptor specific because it has 3 lights that are on all the time because of the width of the truck. Same reason it has marker lights at the four corners.

I got my 13' with 92k miles for $38k in 2021, it's now got 124k miles and up to this point I've been lucky to not have any issues or big expensive maintenance things! I've only replaced pads and rotors $500~ , and sunroof fix $100. I also did a Bentley style headliner, and 2 10" subwoofers 🫣

please have rex in every episode 😍

Rex is a good boy!

good stuff yo!

I bought a 2009 Mazda 6 GT with like 190k around 8 years ago for $6,500. I still have it, now has 270k and is my girlfriend's daily. All time smartest vehicle purchase for the money and use I've gotten from it. +1 for high mileage purchases, especially dealerships in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. I'm from London but it seems there's some sort of sweet spot happening about an hour outside of Toronto. Commuters racking up highway miles.

The only issue is your still driving a ford with a TON of miles. Still a good deal if you want a cheap raptor! Awesome vid 🔥

Awesome truck, Jakub! Have you seen the center console lids for the first gen Raptor with the integrated wireless charging?

Bought a 2014 with 100k miles raptor 1.5 years ago for 29K. It was bald tires and blown shocks. I replaced with a Gen 2 coilverd. Since I’ve had it :Radiator, Radiator fans, transmission oil cooler, transmission, Rear drive shaft, cv axles, Brakes, full oil service, air filter, Spark plugs, cables, coils, battery, battery connectors, all led bulbs and led head light conversion. Blower motor resistor, Throttle body, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pressure sensor, alternator, starter, 4 wheel drive motor, rear window, lots of wiring fixes. The 2010-2014 f150 are generally the same and well designed trucks. Ford decided to make cheap parts 🤣. I’ve since done all the upgrades or lifetime warranty on parts. Some stuff was done ahead of full break downs.

Great video buddy, I’m a big fan! Legendary truck!💪💪💪💪💪🦾🦾🇺🇸

Shout out to Ben at Dixie-Bloor auto service, one of the best mechanics, I take my car to him whenever its needs service and he is always so helpful at fixing and explaining all the work.

I bought a 2020 gen 2 in 2022 with 53k miles. I’ve been doing about 27-30k miles a year. Knock on wood but there hasn’t been anything too too crazy. Mostly maintenance. Plan on doing a big bill of preventative maintenance middle of this year.

I’m loving my gen 3 Raptor. Its a huge improvement over my ZR2 Silverado

I love Ford Raptors, very reliable vehicles, but yes after ten years there are some OEM maintenance parts needing replacing. Overall great rigs 😊

the reason trucks lean forward is to compensate for sagging behind when loading or towing so as not to light up the sky instead of the road la raison pour laquelle les camions penchent vers l'avant est pour compenser l'affaissement du derriere lors du chargement ou du remorcage pour ne pas eclairer le ciel au lieux de la route

We wanna see more raptor stuff

On my 2012 extended cab I got the Morimoto headlights, break lights and 3rd brake / bed light. Still haven't installed the the marker lights because of the weather and I don't have a garage. But other than that I have a feeling that the spark plugs are going to need to be changed out right along with my breaks pretty soon. Other than that I am happy with my purchase, I might buy a 2nd Gen and give my 1st Gen to my daughter 🤔

Were you considering a Supercharged TRD Tundra against the Raptor then? Keep up the great work!

Im a simple person, I see doggo, I like doggo, I like video.

I just purchssed a 2011 Raptor with 110k kms. Thankfully the previous owner just replaced the rear shocks but i do have to replace the fronts. Hopefully my springs arent cracked. Mine also has seized calipers.

Good start, now, fix that rust!

sort of different category but. I bought my 08 escalade with 200k miles. zero regrets. runs and drives great. parts will be coming for it but still on top from buying one with 100k miles for another 15 grand as of like 2 years ago

Please do a maintenance cost video on your whole garage. Algorithm eats those videos up. I've been waiting for this one!!

We would love to chat about your Raptor on our Monday night Ford show..

I just bought oem replacement shocks from Rock auto for around 1350.00 for all 4 on my '14 raptor

This covers the reality of owning one of these.. I'm on the fence about purchasing a 11' with 260,000km on it in hopes that i can hold off on fixing the shocks for another year to save money. Convincing the wife that it's a good purchase is a whole other challenge! lol

This is how I feel about my 100 series LX470

I had a Fiesta RS Turbo.

You can buy headlights for it brand new that look like that for $256 and an led 3rd brake light for less than $50, thermostat $32..

My dream tuck is f250 mega Rex

I love your video being watching you for long time , I have quick questions I found Raptor 2018 has 235k km in the body but it has brand new engine replaced by ford ,do you think its good idea to buy or not , thanks for any advice

I just bought a 2014, 396,000 for 11,500 in Ontario. Yep, it needs a bit of work, but overall, it's solid and runs perfect. I just did the Rockers at 3k and suspension is next. No truck payments and I'm gonna have some fun making it my own.

How many miles does it have now jacob ? And i think u did good in buying your dream truck is all what counts congrats 🎉

Every truck has that rake so when you load up the back it levels out

Wow so when i get my 2020 im gonna have to replace the shocks immediately. Ill remember that when negotiating on price. 👍

The front end dips from factory because its a truck and you load stuff in the back to level it out. Otherwise leveling kit

Hey Jakub. Enjoyed the video. As a suggestion, when you're listing the costs for one year, maybe itemize them. i.e. Battery $250, Tires $1800. Hammond brand teeth whitening $500 etc. And, BTW, Slava Ukraini!

How do you like the geiser springs on it? I'm thinking of either getting eibach or geiser for my raptor.

Not to be "that guy" but I have a few bones to pick. Modifications aren't maintenance. The A/C Compressor and tires are maint., and new wheels are a modification. A new exhaust because the old one failed would be maintenance, a new exhaust because it is cool is a mod. Anything you change because you think it would be cool is a mod., anything you change because the vehicle requires it in maintenance. I'd split totals, here are the maint. costs, here is what I spent on mods. Also, you got bent over on the shocks, Rockauto has the replacement Fox shocks for a little over $300 each, I just replaced mine in Feb of this year and I used a discount code on top of that. I was nowhere near the $3000 or whatever your price was.

Two things to do this year: 1. Get the underbody coated. Ford's are notorious for rotting out the frames/beds. 2. Have your mechanic Seafoam the engine. With that many miles Seafoam will clean all the gunk our of the internals.

Hey Jakub, is your Raptor on mid perch in the front? Or do the springs really just raise the front end that much? I need new shocks and don’t know what direction to go in yet

Where did you buy the shocks abd springs from?

Start ordering roller rockers, lifters, timing chain kit, and if its a 6.2 get valve springs. I have 200k on my ford and the oil tensioner on bank 2 leaked oil causing a camshaft code.

Can't go wrong with an F series. My dads F250 he drove for almost 20 years pulling a massive 5th wheel around the US never once left him stranded.

I’d do that every day of the week!

Why aren't more videos on YT so straight to the point like this? There's absolutely no non-sense, just content to watch here and I absolutely love it. Please never change this style of videos.
