Haven’t seen any other reviewer drive the truck like that. Lots of fun. Good job
Ford definitely knocked it outta the park with this one, a massive upgrade from the previous generation inside & out. This truck is truly incredible all the way around
Now if only their build quality wasn’t dog water, they’d actually be worth buying.
@@johnbob95 where’s it fall short?
@@LMGGhettoBlaster Every aspect of the interior. The interior feels cheap, plastic materials and no actual sturdiness to anything. I was able to test drive one with a buddy of mine and I swear every surface I touched creaked and moved as if it was about to snap. The interior looked great but boy did I expect so much more out of a truck that’s supposed to be one of, if not THE top of the line.
@@johnbob95 it’s a truck tho
@@LMGGhettoBlaster …..and your point is?
I would have loved to see an outside pov of the raptor r jump. But this was a great and very thorough video.
Yesssssssss
He’s the reason I’ll never buy a used car

I love how the review went from a genuine professional review to "I think I wanna jump again, but first I wanna go through this puddle. hehehe". I love it.
Having driven one I have to say that hearing that blower whine is pretty awesome
Man I’m not even a truck person but I love this raptor
When I hear milesperhr channel certain videos come to my mind immediately. This video will definitely be one of them for sure 👌🏼 felt like I was driving on that off-road track. Great one ✨ Definitely a mad machine 🎶
Nice! This was one of my favorite videos to make, too!
“who gave me the keys to this thing” the guy who gave you the keys: 👁️👄👁️
Hey man, got recommended your vids by YouTute after binging some other POV car reviews, I gotta say, your style, voice, narration and commentary are all top notch! Keep up the good work
By far the best virtual drive! Thanks for the ride!
Awesome POV of the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R. I appreciate the intense look of the RR and the features that stand out inside & out from its competitors. I loved the "off-road impressions and jumps." It's a VERSATILE MONSTER! It's a bit pricier versus the TRX, but I would go with the Raptor R. Keep up the excellent reviews, MPH.
Thanks for coming along for the ride, Hector!
❤❤❤ Wow Wow rato Arla Lykke So Much
Pretty good video review about the new 2023 Ford F-150 RaptoR, it would have been better if you could have added a few shots from outside like the jumps, the puddles that you crossed, and the offroad parts, also that squirrel is amazing that survived from the RaptoR, we can say that 2023 Ford F-150 RapoR is approved by mother nature 😅🤣🤣
Thank you Minato sensei for your advice.
THE 2023 F150 RAPTOR
That 0-60 was unreal 😱
But it won't know 3.8 seconds it took 5 seconds for 60
@@christophermanley1340 it took 3.8 to 60 not 5 seconds lol
@@christophermanley1340 don’t think the race box lies man, and it measures speed in kilometers so it’s even more accurate. I’ve launched a TRX before and that does 0-60 in around 4 seconds flat. So this Raptor which is a few hundred pounds lighter can easily do it in under 4 seconds.
@@chiemychiem7533yeah what was he talking about?? 😂
With one foot roll out
If I one day buy a truck like this Ford, I could just throw it around off-road all day long. Looks so fun!
Raptor R for me. Mine should be delivered in about 10 days!!!🤩🤩
Jealous! Enjoy it 👍
My R is scheduled for Jan 28th delivery. I’m biting my nails!
I sure hope you didn't give in and pay a dealer markup....
@@mattvogelsong8460 thats exactly what he did 😂
Lucky! This currently is my dream truck but at a price point of $109k, it'll be a long time until I can own one haha
This is one of my favourite videos you have posted. Both the TRX and the Raptor R are incredible trucks and I would have to drive both of them myself to make a decision on which one I like better, it’s difficult to choose because they both complement the other. Thanks for the review Miles.
Brooo that would be so sick to drive a trx and raptor r
Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 👍
So my buddy let me drive a Raptor R he got his hands on. Now, being a TRX owner, I’d have to say the Raptor R is ever so slightly quicker. The transmission is super smooth. But so is the TRX’s, while being a fraction slower. But when it comes to build quality, I’m sorry but the Raptor fails almost every aspect. Don’t get me wrong at all, it’s beautiful. But once you’re inside touching and feeling, all I felt was plastic creaking, moving and wiggling. It was super disappointing. I can honestly say that my TRX does not have that. And this has always been an issue of Fords. I was super excited thinking this being their top of the line, TRX brother that they would up their quality and materials but they did not. I would give the Raptor R a 6/10 solely because of the performance and power but boy for their top of the line truck it feels CHEAP.
@@johnbob95 how is the Raptor R quicker? You didn’t see the video where they raced?
@@fallenseraph5V I haven’t seen them race. I’m comparing my driving experience. I said it felt slightly quicker, wether it’s because it actually is, maybe the transmission makes it feel that way, or it has more power. Don’t know, but it felt slightly quicker.
You are making the video so so so interesting I didn't make 1 sec skip, nice work appreciated ❤
I enjoyed the video so much, I had to watch it again! Awesome footage, and I felt like I was behind the wheel!!
I'm a definite Raptor enthusiast. Love it 100%
I want to move to America , have three kids and buy a F150 Raptor! I want to live the AMERICAN DREAM! I don’t like my life in the miserable , cold , cloudy Uk
Probably the best intro for a vehicle I've ever seen.
Thank you Miles for always been honest in your videos.
i LOVE the gauge cluster. love the truck.
yes he navar more butofol."?❤️
As always....great content. Have the TRX. Raptor R is scheduled to be built. Agree with your points. Raptor for the ride quality and agility. TRX for the interior quality, sound and price. More exclusivity with the R. Fun times we are living in!
Ride quality? You realize the Bilstein are digressive in Baja which are far better than exponential all the time shocks like Fox? Effectively, Fox is in the in Bilstein street mode all the time and last half as long due to build quality. Not to mention, my TRX pulls 3.6 every 0-60… at half the asking price of a R at dealers. Exclusivity may be your thing, but with people like us who can pay cash for them, it doesn’t make sense. Ford dealers want double what Ram dealers will give you at MSRP and your not getting anything extra except a red R and TRX speed in a smaller, overburdened engine.
Seeing you have fun off-road made me smile 😂
I like this video because you ACTUALLY take it offroad! Thank you!!!
Raptor R for me. I own a second generation raptor and love it, I can’t wait too get mine but that will be a few years 😂
I have had 4 raptors and now i have my TRX. Both great trucks but i prefer the trx. somee of the places ive had it are crazy
Now! That's a real pickup review!
it's like a cheat code when driving. it gives you what you want in driving in every terrain.
It’s so comfortable I bet the handling is great seems like you were driving a side by side
Ford made this truck perfect. Well worth the 100K and the gauge clusters are so awesome
Perfect channel to watch an honest car review
Every car guy (any wheel guy) should learn from you, honestly.. This is the best 'learn to how' type with detail info. clip I've ever seen.
The Tex actually was able to go as fast as 3.7 sec 0-60. But aside from this your video content on this truck is top notch. I like you how drive it hard as it's meant to be. I like this version of the raptor far better than the previous one.
Awesome jump! thanks for the sweet POV great video!
Man these trucks with all their doodads make me think back to my first truck, a 1983 F100. It was 2021 when I finally got behind the wheel daily and I was still on cloud-9 with its no a/c and minimal doohickeys. It makes me wonder how I would feel driving one of these.
I love your videos and have watched all the KZhead shorts you have made. Honestly a fantastic driver and I always wonder how you get these crazy cars!
Dealerships and the actual companies lend him these cars for reviews
Just the automakers, no dealers, actually

@@MilesPerHr Early congratulations cause you're about to hit 400K!!!!!!!!!! 19k more subs.
This dude's reviews are awesome
Man that's a really good video, would have really loved to see an outside view of at least the jumps though
Never ever seen a such review,❤❤❤❤ unbelievably incredible
I would have way too much fun with this thing. Was not expecting that jump btw!
Me too wish I could afford to rent one for a week
The F150 series are a solid representation of American build quality
lots of plastics 😂
@@tobylavoie Cheap plastics on 100k plus truck 🤔
For the first 50k miles or so.
absolute dream truck
milesperhr review newer disappoints this should be the universal way to review a truck 😂
Three cheers for the squirrel that made it alive!!! I'd take the TRX over the Raptor R. I think the Raptor is a great truck. However, all things considered, it's the TRX for me. Thanks for the best video of the new Ford Raptor R, Miles!
That squirrel had a heck of a story to tell his mates. Like you, I'd probably side with the TRX as a daily
Love both but I chose a trx just because Raptor R’s markups are insanely dumb
@@mustangmike3830 for that markup you can probably get two trxs or two raptors 😂
Wrangler ,, 392" лучше
Both the Ram TRX and Raptor R are winners. You can't go wrong with either truck.
Av'e always loved anything to do with truck's as you drove i felt as if im the one behind the wheels🤦 this clip is incredible 👊
Just a best interior view))) Enjoyed the driving
That’s a badass truck
Great review, glad I found your channel. I’m in Southern California and wanted to know if I could get the trailhead to that area you were off-roading at? Thanks
That’s irvine right? Knew it looked familiar
🤣🤣🤣 that calm reaction 🤣🤣 what a sick and sexy car it's just oeh lala drive safe! We want more videos
Loved this video, really makes me want a raptor r! One question, where did you do the off road portion?
Great video Miles - can you share where the off road portion of this was filmed?
Silverado canyon/ black star canyon area near Irvine lake in orange county CA
@@meyer7312 Is this on the Silverado side or the Lake Elsinore side?
Silverado side... Irvine lake area
thanks to the TRX ford now have back the V8 raptor which i like more than the V6 normal raptor
I have to say the Raptor-R is amazing the way it handled that terrain it's speed and space is awesome ! The T Rex is has nice dashboard interior but I have to give it to the Raptor -R❤
What camera are using to record your pov ans just regular footage? It’s so clear and perfect!!? GREAT CHANNEL!! MAKING ME WANT TO TAKE MY RAPTOR AND HAVE FUN!!
Awesome truck but I prefer the interior from the Trx and there’s many near me for mid 80k (still a lot) but the raptor r prices are 150k plus. Absolutely absurd.
Oh and good luck in trying to find pd one of these for less that $150,000 with the scarcity and dealers mark up greed!
would love to now where in OC you were offroading. Ive got a Raptor myself and would love to hit those trails!
This has suprised me way beyond i will be definitely looking into it
This truck is amazing and it's worth the price tag and it's way better than the ram, the exterior looks alone kills the competition not many trucks look as good as raptor.
Running out now to get that lotto ticket. Going to happily burn a lot of fuel in this thing.
Ha you're in my hood...I knew I recognized that intersection by OCFA HQ. Thanks for the video! Looks like you're off roading above lake Mathews too....where about were those trails?
When you consider the additional equipment packages, the price of TRX and Raptor are on par. I do not own neither, but from my quick research, I feel the TRX are more solid, but slightly less techie, more heavier but a little less advanced suspension. My impression is that the TRX will last longer with fewer issues and noises. I also think that the TRX instrument panel is gorgeous, maybe I'm not a digital instrument guy. Could anyone confirm my impressions? I saw some Raptor with a night vision camera, but others don't have it: is it a factory option? Does the TRX also have any IR night vision camera too? Thank you for any advice.
Yes it does have an IR camera for night time. If we’re looking at MSRP prices and comparing, I’d say they’re on par. But after owning a TRX and looking at a buddies RaptoR. I don’t understand how someone could dish out the 160k+ dealers are charging right now. With that money you could basically buy two used TRX’s with the same technology and slightly more power.
Someday I'll gonna have that kind of pick-up. In God's perfect time!
That Jump 😍🤯
Excellent review brother love watching your videos!
both r and trx are very nice trucks I would take the trx I just like the supercharger wine form the ram trx and just how much bigger it is
Also cheaper price! Only has 2hp but it’s quite interesting. The Trx is faster off standstill. However during a running race the Raptor R will begin to walk away.
@@spongebobsquarepants11 TRX is NOT quicker off a dig. “ ..It trips up the TRX in the 0-60-mph sprint, clocking an astounding 3.7-second time, thumping our best existing result in the Ram by a significant 0.4 second. And it feels every bit that quick, charging off the line like a rhino with an ICBM up its rear on the way to a 12.1-second quarter-mile run at 111.8 mph. The TRX's best? 12.7 seconds.” Car and driver reviewed both trucks and ram 1/4 mile and 0-60 those were the best results motor trend got 3.6 0-60 and a 12.0 for the Raptor R. That’s on a 37” tire vs a 35” tire. It’s not even close for the Stellantis Fiat ram.
@@CoyoteFTW I would take both but I don’t have money for a house.
@@CoyoteFTW and smoked by EV trucks that can do 2 seconds. Before people talk about muh towing, people arent using their TRX or Raptors to tow, or do any real work with them, so be quiet. They are showboating vehicles.
@@flighted2513 they are not made for towing. The suspension setup is for off roading. The raptor has lower tow ratings than the rest of the f150 lineup
"Dear Santa, I promise to be very, very good this year. Item #1 on my 2023 toy list . . . " Wish me luck, Miles.
You can do it, Edd!
Nice! Proper review finally. Where is that trail? I've seen the Corona side of it, but not the south OC side of the mountain
Great seeing an "offroad truck" touching some mud and dust. You are worthy of owning the beautiful machine🥶✔️
Great video this beast is un-deniable the best truck ever built.
You’re delusional this truck will not be on the road in 30 years so it’s not even the best truck ford ever made let alone the best truck ever made
ooooo yikes man. far from it haha
@@LeSwexy - name another truck that can do 3.6 0-60 a 12.0 1/4 mile can tow more than 8,700lbs finish Baja 1000 then take kids to school.
@@CoyoteFTW Comes close to it for what?
From GMC at4x, this is a badass truck.
15:44 The suspension handled that better than my car driving the streets of Minneapolis.
Does it also offer the option to pour bud light from a dispenser?
Because of the pricing between the 2 trucks I would go with the ram over the raptor
4,201.9 Miles on it and it's already got the check engine light. Nice job Ford.
Beautiful looking truck! Good work Ford!!
Looks like an awesome part of the world to live. We have nothing like this in England.
First video I've seen from you, and very good review of the Raptor R
Welcome to the channel!
You should pov the ram trx mammoth 1000 from Hennessy and if you do good luck
I've been asking! Maybe one day
I like the TRX, its fast and all but this new Raptor is insanely more capable for offroading. Theres no question that the Raptor is still on top. Who cares about how fast you go in the TRX, I'd rather have a more capable offroad weapon like the Raptor. Ford has won again.
best video about a raptor, (also AutoTopNL did good in the autobahn), but this one is just amazing
Nice review sir! that’s one amazing truck fo sure
TRX for me, both are very fast and big but the TRX's super nice interior compared to plastic door panels and some type of fabric uppers on the doors that are going to get very dirty and hard to clean. The Raptor is very cool but wish the inside was not so cheap looking (for a +/- $111,000 msrp- $150,000 depending on dealer markup). I'm surprised Ford did not try to compete better and step up on the interior
Cheap? Guess I'm not seeing that🤔
Cheap? I love the new interior. Looks and feels like you're in a truck, not a luxury car.
I agree. It’s not awful but it’s lacking for sure
Still can't defeat Toyota's reliability.
@@lawrencebishnoi3849 we aren't talking about Toyotas or reliability.
This Off-Roader Is The Truth.
Haaaaa, i love this car so much! Hopefully I could have one of my own in my 30's!
I’m looking at getting a Ram TRX in the near future. I sat in both to check them out and see which one I would prefer to buy. I’m telling you guys right now…. I didn’t even NEED to drive both ! When you get in a Ram TRX versus the Ford Raptor R …. It IMMEDIATELY Feels Like a $100k Truck with a supercharged engine and amazing suspension!! When you hop in the Ford Raptor R it IMMEDIATELY Feels like your getting in a $60k Ford F150! The RaptoR simply doesn’t give me the feeling that I’m surrounded by $100k worth of materials, AND IM A FORD GUY!!!! The TRX Has speakers EVERYWHERE it feels like, the steering wheel feels amazing, everything feels soft and comfortable in the interior, there’s little details everywhere. I was immediately sold on the TRX after going to Ford and seeing and feeling out the RaptoR… HANDS DOWN! Interior PLUS your nasty Supercharged V8 PLUS YOUR super plush suspension!!! I’m sold on the TRX ALLLLL DAY! Sorry Ford, It’s time for you guys to do a real interior overhaul because you guys even have Kia, Hyundai, plus all the Japanese companies really REALLY coming out with some super luxury interiors and performance in there vehicles! And Mopar has been KILLING IT The last few years with there muscle cars, SUVs and now The Monster Truck…. The Ram TRX!
I will say both the TRX and Raptor R are great trucks. BUT, if you care about having a truck that performs superior on and off road with the ability to handle corners and jumps, then the raptor r is the way to go. If you only want a big v8 and a big truck, sure the trx is good too.
What you say is very true.
But cmon people who actually buy the raps and trxs aren’t really doing what it’s intended for. It’s mostly for showboating and probably just their dream truck
@Renzo Contre Yes, it's true, but that's them. They may not go offroad with their trucks but that fact certainly doesn't nullify the capability of these trucks.... especially the Raptor. Whether or not people use them for their intended purpose changes nothing.
@@richardmodglin3900 totally agree. Raptor r is just better in every aspect in terms of what it’s meant to be used as. But that’s no disrespect to the trx as it is a beast on the streets as well
Man I love the trx but I like the ford raptor R more you can tell how light the R is compared to the trx the trx povs you see how heavy it is.
Where do you take your vehicles off-road? i have a raptor and been trying to figure out where i can have a bit of fun
Lol, that mega storage area killed me😂
5:30 3.1mpg lol
I kind of find it funny how the TRX wins in everything not driving or off-road related... But I do get that 99% of these trucks won't see actual high-flying off-road usage. If I could afford one, fuel cost also, I'd get the Raptor for sure.
Loved the video, you got a new subscriber 😉
Nice review keep up the good work miles per hour
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤ Making money is an Action, keeping money is behavior, Growing money is Knowledge. I once attended seminar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth.
I heard a lot of investing with Mr Tone Vays and how good he is, please how safe are the profit??.
Wow, i've seen a lot of recommendation about Tone Vays, is he really that good??.
