2012 2 Part Video Review

zero2espect · Oct 1, 2012

Hey guys. I know 2012 is sooo yesterday around these parts, but 2012's are still current model here in the middle east and in Australia as grey-imports. Shot this to share with friends and family. Be gentle! HAHAHAHA.

It's more about first impressions and "new to trucks" but some of you might be interested in what a new guy, thinks of the raptor.

Part 1: Outside and Inside the Raptor.

hahahaha. you get kinda used to that here.

i'm standing by to cop abuse from people who think i'm driving too fast, too close, too loose, or whatever. but that's honestly how you HAVE to drive here.

it's one of the reasons we sold the pathfinder and porsche and moved over to f150 and raptor. you get the size (intimidation and security) mated with v8 power and response to power into and out of the crazy roundabouts.

I noticed that other drivers were exiting the roundabouts from the inside lane, basically cutting right in front of you. Among other craziness, I don't know how I'd stay sane driving in traffic like that. I have a tendency to rage-out on terrible drivers (my biggest complaint is going slow and not moving over when in the passing lane).

Question: you mentioned that the Raptor and the F-150 you bought have cylinder deactivation. I hadn't seen that anywhere before. Is that something only for export trucks?

Anyways, awesome videos and reviews.
