When Ford released the Raptor back in 2010, it was in a class of its own. There was nothing like it, and to this day (the TRX isn’t out yet), holds the crown for the ultimate production off road pickup. And that’s because Ford went about building and testing this prehistoric 4 wheeler in one of the toughest terrains in the world. The Baja 1000 is one of the most extreme off-road races on the planet, pushing your machine to it’s limit. So how is the Raptor capable of tackling such extreme terrain with limited modifications? And why does Ford let you buy one of these? And why do they give you a full factory warranty as well!? Today we are going to look at both versions of Baja tested Raptor - the SVT Raptor R, and the Ford Raptor Race truck!

Raptor or TRX? - Jeremiah
Raptor 100 percent
Mazda trucks
Raptor of course. Still waiting on Ram to run the trx in Baja. The final text
TRX Why not
If you just want fast. Go with Dodge Ram. If you want fast with everything still hold then go with Ford.
Typical American. "The Baja 1000 is like the toughest race ever". Funny.
I know why it survived it’s built Ford tough
My dog is named Dolly toooo
Raptor
My dad has a raptor I love it
Best Ford ad
Dakar...am I a joke to you.?
Enter me being proud of my country for once, since most of them are manufactured here in South Africa...
If I’m paying so much for a truck that can do all that they better wash it wtf
fox suspension is too expensive so i use yss in my motocross bike
The 5.4 V8 in a Raptor SVT is still a good engine in it :)
name of your intro song? pls
F.O.R.D. (Flys.Over.Road Debris.) And in this case, (Finishes.On.Race.Day.)
Love my Gen2 Raptor.
The 2 spark plug thing was stolen from the 5.7 hemi!
I thought 3 am was in the afternoon not in the morning
Why people buy the other ford f150 trims is beyond me. Literally the raptor is the apitome of trucking
AHm trx rebal/trx was first
It is entirely untrue what he said, if you watch the trucks they raced in Baja they completely ripped out everything, the control arms, the springs, They made the engine faster. If you watch the doc the engine was about the only thing they didn’t replace.
I love the science and tech breakdowns. Thanks
Toughest race ever? Have you ever seen the Isle of Man TT?
First few gears are for launching and the gears get higher as the gears go on so you can go on the highway. Lol isn't that every single transmission?
jerry berry
ik nothing about cars and this makes it easier (not that im doing anything with cars)
how much did ford pay you?
That 3 inch lift makes a big difference. I'm sure they upgraded suspension which means it's not a stock Raptor.
3:15 🤣🤣🤣 “higher RPMs...5700 RPM redline” 🤣 what is it a diesel with spark plugs?
if its BAHA Then why call it BAJA ? stupid language .
Baja 1000 Beast
In fact, for 20 years that the TOYOTA LandCruiser has been winning the T2 class of the Dakar with a vehicle that can be purchased at the nearest dealer in your neighborhood, adding safety elements ... Nothing new under the sun.
It sounds gay though
baja race or Dakar?
James do a maybach pleaaae
You look like Heath Ledger, your face have the resemblance of being "The Joker".
D35 is a general term for Duratec 3.5l V6s whether it's Ecoboost or N/A and whether it's 1st or 2nd gen of the Ecoboost. The 2nd gen 3.5l Ecoboost is a much improved Ford Taurus 3.5l Ecoboost
tom delong?
"Stock Ford Raptor" is like saying "Stock Viper ACR". It's already a performance package, my guy.
Actually it's not a 3" lift kit. It's a rear leaf spring with 3 inches more arch and they remove the block that was between the stock spring and the axle. The 6.2 is also more of a big block as compared to a 5.0 or coyote which are single spark plug.
Baja toughest race? Lol.
BS crapters frames will bend if pushed hard. Ford POS
Raptor: 30 Hours at 100mph in the desert, under warranty works like brand new. TRX: : Let's race at street lights to see who's truck is better.
You could literally mid-travel (coilovers/UCA/rearshocks/springs) any truck and "finish" Baja, if you didn't go and completely trash the truck. It's likel 40% of the vehicles don't finish because they're actually competing for time, and not just to finish. The raptor is a bad truck don't get me wrong, it's far from a Baja Race machine. It's a F - 150 with a 6.2 and a mid travel kit. You could do that to almost any half ton truck and it will be less expensive.
Love the raptor but king shocks all day!
It makes me so happy to see so much B Roll of the gen 1 raptor here tooo lol
This is cute a Near stock tundra won the Baja 1000
Ford is killing it right now. I can't say I agree with every decision Ford has made like eliminating the Focus ST or Fiesta ST but I think this is my personal favorite car brand. I have owned 3 cars in my life and all have been Fords haha. Including my 1998 explorer which is a special truck to me.
Funny how non off-road people think the Raptor is the end all be all until they find out that real long travel suspension has 2 to 3 times more travel than the Raptor.
Hope the Gen 2 Ecoboosts are better than the Gen 1’s. Mine gave me a ton of issues. Sold it and now I have the 5.0.
How can a stock F150 Raptor handle this?
"The Baja 1000 is like the toughest race ever" King of the Hammers: Am I a joke to you?
Jeremiah! Do a video on the Ram 2500 Powerwagon! You won't be dissatisfied💯
The Fords ten speed transmission is a good transmission, but it struggles to find the right gear as it downshifts
Raptor is way to overrated
I love my truck and i'd keep it over the TRX. I love the TRX, but let's see the TRX make it through to the finish line at the Baja 1000 then we can have a better discussion. All that power is dope, but having trophy truck power with regular suspension (2.5 shocks) ain't gonna do you any good.
12:48 that's what he's gonna do all break.
bring it to Dakar Rally
English is so funny, Baja and Baha are pronaunced the same way, 🤦🏻♂️
corner of the cylinder??
but its still a shit box ford.... Best thing is, I can say it because I work at a ford dealer and I see how big of pieces of shit these things are
Musk Tweeted some time back that they are redesigning the Cybertruck's already great 16" air suspension to handle the Baja 1000. Looking forward to seeing it run that race :) At this point I am expecting that to be next years Baja 1000 as not heard anything about it for some time. (they have a prototype battery capable of doing 3,650 miles which would solve the issue of what to do about charging.)
The first gen engine had a supercharger
No need for that, you need to know only one car. *T O Y O T A P I C K U P T R U C K*
Nobody: B A H A
Nice
Love the puppers
8:40 Excuse me, what is that Raptor sponsored by?
No discussion of reservoirs on the shocks, though...
Live valve is also used by Fox and Pivot Racing Mountain Bikes...like their teaming up with the Ford Raptor Crew.
Fox really has the mountain bike market as well. Especially with their Kashima coating (marketing).
you guys do make my life better
Baha 1000? Try dakar
Can they do a bumper 2 bumper on Adam lz s15
Bring Back Bids Barto @BidsBarto #BidsBarto
Ford should send a factory team to the Dakar with two or three Raptors...
*5:09** that's not supercar, that's GTE class car*
Raptor is the best!!
Just traded in my 2012. F
Jerry 4 President
Please do a video on the porche 919 hybrid and their v4 engine!
Hope your vacation was fantastic. Well deserved to you all.
Whats the song used in the intro for B2B?
@10:15 Suspension gets slightly moist?
*damped
“But as you move through the gears, the ratios get lower” oh ok
The first ford raptor they had to recall because the frame would snap when doing jumps
I really think ford is innovating a lot lately
Sorry to point this out, but your engine animation is just a little off, the left side has the intake coming in from what should be the exhaust side of the engine... Just a bit distracting. Good stuff though!!!
Please make a b2b on f1 cars
Id bet that turbo 6 isnt gonna hold up. Shoulda stayed eith the V8
I like the other dude
180,000+ dead Americans from the TRUMP-VIRUS!
what about the cooling system ?
Hate to break it to you Jerry, “am” essentially means in the morning (before midday)...when you say “3 am in the morning” you’re pretty much saying the same thing twice :)
Me: I work in the design studio at Ford....I would get fired for shooting video at work, and posting it online. Jerr-Bear: "Hey anyone have actual footage of the Raptor being milled in the Ford design studio?...Yeah?....ok....sweetl...(Put it at the front of the video).
Wait a minute, it has spark plugs. I thought it uses diesel
11:28 thanks to the internet, we know that there are women who can also handle that
"It's like the toughest race ever!" *laughs in Dakar Rally*
You should do an "Up To Speed" episode on the Ram pickup truck.
This be my dream truck 🚗 🚘
Metric! Thanks!
