  • hey that black guy used to for west coast customs and used to be on the show Pimp My Ride

  • what did you drive before?

  • l0l pimpers. Booooo fuck em

  • wish there was a video of the Hennessey raptor with 800 ponies. they only have a 600 vid, please keep us updated if you do anything to it.

    p.s. hear the velociraptor 450 package costs 7k

  • Congrads on the new truck! Better hope gas prices don't go up to $10 a gallon like in Europe though

  • I assume this is a specialty dealer? Why not get it from Ford? Have you had it off roading in the typical sense vs baja style driving? Just wondered how it's as a 4x 4 "non racing"?

    Wonder if anyone has lifted a Raptor yet? I know it's stock with 35"tires.

  • Make that shit a velociraptor tht thing will destroy everything if u make it a velociraptor

  • god i want that beast sooooooooo badly

  • @Z3Shangha hehehe

  • God how much i love being in Saudi Arabia.. Gas is cheaper than water and no one gives a shit about MPG or global warming whatever is it. we just buy trucks like this and take it to the desert, have some fun and then when we get back we drop it in the garage and go out cruising in a big V12 Bentley .

  • @ksascor iam from saudia arabia , & i don't own shit , not even a Crown VIC !!

  • What should you do?! Go fly the damn thing, dude!!! Those monsters were built to jump.

  • Beau got chubby

  • This truck is the rolling version of sex.

    A Corvette and a Raptor...I'd be set for life.

  • Matt i hate you lol got my dream truck haha

  • mad mike, hahahahaha i remember him on Pimp My Ride.

  • sick ride mate, willing to see more offroad videos of red raptor

  • Comment removed

  • i cant imagine ever buying this and i drive in snow on non city side roads 4 months outta the year, but its cool you deserve it

  • You don't live in SC by any chance do you?

  • @dhs012 my parents have a house near hilton head, but I live in LA.

  • @TheSmokingTire I live in hilton head, and i've seen this truck there, but i figured it was really rare to see one... maybe it was yours?

  • @dhs012 nope. my truck was bought in california and has never been to hilton head.

  • @TheSmokingTire

    I live in Beaufort! When you visit your family let your fans know. I would love to meet you man

  • So how is the Raptor? Is it fast? What's the deal with it?

    Is the 6.2L really better than the 5.4L tried and true triton?

    Hope you show us more of this and hopefully do a review on it soon. =)

  • @Forgoten214 we're not filming with it until after the Bullrun, we're just too busy until then. Yes, the 6.2L engine is much, much better than the 5.4L engine. it's 100 extra horsepower.

  • @TheSmokingTire "Theres not much that a 100 extra horsepower wont fix" haha

  • nice Truck man :)

  • truck should be broken in now. need vids and a race vs a 5.4

  • dont buy from galpin they are a major stealership msrp on fully loaded raptors 63k i loled at the salesperson on the phone said goodluck selling the 3 ur have in stock ohh and they want to sell an orange one with 7k miles on it for 53k

  • @balla32636 $63K? An every-option raptor only stickers MSRP around $51K. Either they are marking them up with a dealer "market adjustment" (which is a joke in this economy) or you're exagerating a bit. I was offered $3K off the MSRP when they were brand new so a markup now seems unlikely.

  • @chfpontiac i called galpin ford they said they had 3 fully loaded trucks for 63k and one that had 7000+ miles on it for 53k

  • @balla32636 As long as you're not someone with an ax to grind with that dealership, I have no reason not to believe ya. Thats a shame. A great chance to get a great truck on the road & visible in public for a somewhat reasonable price and you got a dealership marking it up $12k. They did this with the Challenger SRT8 up here in the northeast the last couple years and the cars went NOWHERE. They ended sitting and later being discounted. Too bad when the manufacturers could use some sales numbers.

  • nice truck, btw that dealership is ridunculous!

  • Should throw a exhaust system on it along with some headers

  • @twinturbo1995 for the first time, perhaps ever, I'm going to leave the engine stock. It's already pretty damn loud, it sets off car alarms on narrow streets, but not loud enough that you have to speak up over it. I already have a silly loud car, my Corvette, and for a daily driver I don't want to have to yell over the engine to have a conversation. Plus, we're using it as a camera vehicle, and trying to film with it while it's making all kinds of noise isn't helpful at all.

  • Good news! now you can get out of your driveway without those planks of wood.

  • I guess its a cool truck but I'm not a ford fan so I wouldn't buy one. I'm gonna wait for the GMC Canyon's replacement. It'll be cheap, small, and very customizable. I'll drop in a small block crate motor, 30 in. tires, and of course, some high tech and very capable fox racing shocks. That'll be my crew cab toy.

  • @buttnut1080 you're gonna buy a brand new truck and rip out a perfectly good engine? Why? Why not just buy a used version if you plan on gutting it anyway? The amount of money you save could probably pay for that engine you want.

  • @TheSmokingTire I would wait until after the new truck came out. And if it does end up having a decent engine then I won't change it. I'm not that dumb.

  • Did you sell your corvette, or did you just buy a new daily driver and kept the corvette, cause i thought you got the corvette for new in 1998. of that's the case, what was your daily driver before the raptor. it looks to me like you love your corvette too much to sell it.

  • @MrKulCars kept the corvette. never selling it. my last daily driver was my Suzuki SV650 motorcycle, but before that, I had a 2006 John Cooper Works Mini

  • The Raptor is probably the best truck ever, but it seems kind of big for off-road fun. They should make a Ranger Raptor (and I still want that diesel!)

    they could probably sell it for under 30k

  • @bottomlayer it's big for east coast trails, but for the deserts of SoCal, it's just right.

  • @TheSmokingTire Fucking A it is. I Love the deserts out here!

  • Comment removed

  • Love The Vault Entrance lol

    sick ride matt

  • oh i get it. those 2 guys are from "Pimp my Ride"

  • puts my new colorado to SHAME LOLZ

  • Breaks down in 20,000 miles, No doubt. Still a bad ass truck.

  • @gerfall I got a 6 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with all included maintenance, for everything on the car except tires. At least if it breaks during the course of my abuse, I won't be the one paying to fix it.

  • @TheSmokingTire Can't wait to see it in action.

  • now hand it over to hennesy to make it even better!! lol

  • @cba1067950 I know I shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but I gave you a thumbs up just for running over Mad Mike. Now he IS annoying, but you don't need to out-annoy him!

  • Sweet! Congratulations on your purchase Matt!

    That's probably the only truck in the world I'd like to own.

  • I wish I knew you were gonna stop by galpin ford its right next to my house. Great show man keep up the awesome reviews .

  • Could u put a 6.7 in there?

  • @linkthemain I suppose you could put anything you wanted in there, but you'd have to be either too rich to care or too stupid to know you've just ripped out a perfectly good, fully warrantied engine.

  • @TheSmokingTire I was just sayin b/c the 6.7 looks like a beast engine.

  • @cba1067950 I don't want to film dirt bikes. We film dirt rallies and racing all the time, and we need a pickup truck with an especially good suspension beacuse it's smoother for the camera.

  • Nice truck dude, I am actually thinking of buying this truck. Is it worth it?

  • @ChipnMaxFilms absolutely. it's the best pickup truck ever built.

  • Matt where do you get all the money for these cars lol

  • Just got my brochure in the mail from ford... will be hammering out the details of my order by next week I hope!

    NOT!

    Ridiculously overpriced vehicle. Yeah, it's great, don't get me wrong, but I have have a daily driver with off-road capabilities FAR beyond what this has for a LOT less money, and have a custom build.

    But hell, bring that fuckin thing to my "neck of the woods" man. I have free offroading access in some SERIOUS mud and terrain, that you are welcome film on!

  • Congrats bro :)

  • That's awesome. I have to wait 6 months before I can even be graced with the 6.2L. Could get a 5.4L Raptor, but the money it would take to get it anywhere near 400-500hp would be saved just by waiting for a 6.2L to become available. You still have the Z06?

  • @cba1067950 how exactly are we supposed to carry 3 people and 200 pounds of camera gear out to a shoot location on a dirt bike?

  • Man people are haters. Nice truck Matt. Glad you didn't opt for those ridiculous decals on the bed. As for upgrades, all I'd do is tint the windows a little, damn Sun.

  • Well, Congratulation Matt, as a nice and very conscientious journalist who care about global warming and nature, you just get yourself the most useless, high consumption, low quality built car. I think you should wear a T-shirt with written in big on it "FUCK THE NATURE, LET'S CONTINUE TO BE AMERICAN, LET'S USE MORE GAS FOR NOTHING, YEAHHH PROUD TO BE AMERICAN, FUCK MOTHER NATURE!!!"

  • @Z3Shanghai you can't drive a prius 100 mph on sand.

  • @TheSmokingTire Question is, why would you need to ride a car on the sand...and let's say you do that, how much time you will do that? 0.1% of the time compare to 99.9% on the normal road? Do you need a 10MPG car to drive 0.1% of your time on the sand?

  • @Z3Shanghai We buy this for the zombie apocalypse of course.

  • @miguelon918 Maybe was a nice type of car to buy in the 80's or if you are a farmer, but with some other concerns today it totally irrelevant to buy cars like that. And prius is not the only alternative that are plenty of car much more eco friendly than this piece of crap. Now maybe you guys feel like you need that type of car to feel like men, or to feel cool coz it's the last toys came out from the consumption society (AWESOME DUDE!) but seriously it's time to rethink how we buy cars...

  • @Z3Shanghai I bought the Raptor to use as a go-anywhere camera vehicle. We film off-road quite often, and the Raptor upgrade is only $3,000 more than the equivalent Ford F-150 pickup (the best selling vehicle in the US right now), and an option that's well worth the money. I work from home, so I don't have a commute. I only put about 5,000 miles per year on my personal vehicles, and that will use less overall gas than if I had a 20 mile commute every day in a 4-cylinder car.

  • @TheSmokingTire you cant even drive a prius 100 mph lol

  • @Z3Shanghai Id buy that shirt :)

  • @Z3Shanghai You are just jealous dude...

  • @miguelon918 Jealous of what? a Ford? :-) Try harder seriously!

  • @Z3Shanghai dude, do you know what marketing is? today it`s called ecology. now go buy your prius with toxic batteries so the marketing guys can count one more idiot who thinks that global warming, if it even exists, is made by cars (or human even). CO2 Emmision: oceans: 97%, cows and shit: 2%, ppl: 1%. cheers.

  • Comment removed

  • @Z3Shanghai Maybe you should instead ask Ford to offer a diesel engine!

  • You didn't get the side decals. boo

  • @XenomorphLV426 I plan on covering the car with actual dirt, not just the digital version of it.

  • oooh im sooo jealous....i havent seen any raptors at all at galpin the last few times ive gone...so did u like the raptor so much in the desert video test couple months back that u had to go out and get one?? with the 6.2 of course!!....nice choice, and the color is sick too!! so how long before u mod the hell of out it?!?! haha jk

  • What should you do with it? Pshh get a decent sound system in that beauty.

  • @aqwayne Ford's multimedia system is the best one on the market. Besides, I put big speakers in my car when I was 16 and an idiot.

  • So you have a Vanquish too now or was that just joking around?

  • @10secondride yes, i have that car. It's in New York.

  • What is mad mike from pimp my ride doing there???

  • @HAACKER45 galpin are the people from pimp my ride.they have a huge place with dealerships,dining,customizati­on shop,etc.

  • what you need to get for it is the hennesey kit for it once they finish making it.

  • They keep it in a vault? lol.. are you keepin the vette and motorbike?

  • oh k good i got scared there haha

  • hows the legroom in that beast....im 6"5 you think theres enough room in it

  • @nelson4568 it's huge, you'll be fine.

    Congrats on the new ride!

  • Do you still have your Corvette?

  • come on.... are you serious!? why do americans always buy useless pickups? :) you probably live in the center of a huge city :)

  • @ohgottweristdas that truck is badass why would you not buy it?

  • @supersmrf because it's on and offroad useless

  • @ohgottweristdas how is it useless? explain please

  • @unmarkedtrails to turn it into the best camera vehicle of all time.

  • i seen this way before most people and i dream of owning this exact one except white lol. god i would enjoy the hell outta this truck, matt, please have fun with it.

  • And ya know what, Thanks for the little sneak peak. Much appreciated. Can we expect a 3 car special in the future?

  • Damn man, The Smokin Tire and G419 mut be treatin you pretty well. How did you get into this line of work anyway? I've often fantasized about pursuing something in this field.

  • Over $40,000.00

  • MATT! what's the EPA rating for 6.2L raptor?

  • @JackZeroZ the EPA rating is who gives a shit

  • @JackZeroZ haha, the window sticker says "The EPA is not required to provide EPA information on this vehicle. Hilarious. I'll scan it and post it on my Facebook page. I've put 150 miles on it (went on vacation to NY 2 days after picking it up) and averaged 11.2

  • @TheSmokingTire thanks! do you have another facebook page besides the smoking tire page?

  • @JackZeroZ yeah, my personal "matt farah" facebook page.

  • That truck is beast. Your keeping th Vette right?

  • that is a bad ass truck matt.NICE!!!!So you gonna keep your Vette?of course right?!?!?

  • 40 years LOOL i though u was like 24 :O lol

  • I wish Mopar would sell the RamRunner. That thing was ridiculously badass.

  • Are these not available through Ford? I bet those Galpin Motors salesmen bend a lot of people over...

  • @ProcessRacing29 you can buy them from the ford dealer, there just not easy to cme buy. so you local ford dealer probably wont have one

  • @ProcessRacing29 Galpin is a Ford dealer, along with many other brands. 

  • hench!

  • What happens to your Corvette?

  • @arabiansensation stays. 

  • Awesome car congratulations!!! Maybe you should do a video of some off roading and show us if you can fit it in your garage..

  • HOLD UP... dem boyz from Pimp my Ride (mad mike BIATCH)

  • hey matt you should compare this truck with the 2010 Dodge Ram R/T

  • @limpcookiez148 it's no comparison...

  • hey matt what kind of stuff would you put on the truck? i know svt did an amazing job with it, but what would you do to improve it to your liking?

  • @Dansotherutubeacount you'll see... I do plan to keep the warranty fully intact this time, so I can use it as it's intended without worry.

  • congrats on the clean ride bro

  • What happened 2 the vettt???

  • @KalnStoll still have it. 

  • The real question to be asked is...

    ...does the truck come with cupholders? If not, it's no good already. Roflmao.

  • screw the truck i would have stopped at the aston martin

  • your getting rid of your corvette =(

  • @xarnoldx10 never. 

  • "thank you son"

  • no decals?

  • Congrats.. enjoy it.

  • congratulations matt... this is my dream truck and of the few domestic cars that i like (im into japanese cars)

  • Super Nice!

  • Matt I hate you! I'm jealous, so what was the final damage?

  • Galpin is the best dealer ever!

    I love that the Raptor I totally need to get one asap.

  • Daily driver?

    Nice!

    I'm not a truck type of person but if I were to get one, I'd definitely get this one.

  • This is the only truck I would buy...ever. Great Choice.

  • all you need now is a supercharger kit.... cool truck

  • I've never liked a truck until I saw this video. The Raptor is awesome.

  • hey Matt congrats on the new truck, but are you actually gonna do some serious off roading with this thing or are you gonna baby it? By the way I really like your show, it always brings something new to my day.

  • Friggin beast!

  • Do you still have your Vanquish?

  • @TheSmokingTire I think you forgot about Mike in the end of the vid

  • two things. Why didn't you get the graphics, and what is your actual job that you can buy that?

  • And to think you jus bought this when there a quad-cab in the works right now... This is still freakin awesome! Congrats.

  • @mustang750r I don't want the super crew, this truck is already massive and the supercrew is even bigger, and what the fuck to I care about rear seat room anyway?

  • @TheSmokingTire More space for beer? Chicks? lol

  • @mustang750r that's what the bed is for... lol plenty of room for both!

  • @TheSmokingTire Haha!

  • Hey Matt, random question but...have you ever driven a McLaren F1?

  • @brannyK051 no, I have gotten a ride in a few of them, including a LM edition at over 200 mph.

  • @TheSmokingTire

    Are they as awesome as everyone says they are? I really enjoyed your last show with the supercars. Will there be more to come?
