A new battery-and a decent haircut-and it will be all good. 🤣

Any excuse to post a new video…I blocked his feed along with TFL Truck some time ago as they never provide any information and often seem uninformed.

He doesn't deserve a Raptor!

Isn’t that the truth! Gives a bad name to other auto You-Tubers/influencers.

His stated 17 mpg average for his 392 rubicon is simply not believable. And the Raptor is not the vehicle, by category, weight, wheel size, etc., to complain about mpg. He says he gets about 14 mpg with the Raptor which is random to driving locale, driving habits, etc. With 8000 miles, my average was 17.9 mpg, but that is purely representative of my particular driving metrics.

I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this guy's reviews!

Agreed, only posted in hopes to assist someone that is suspecting a battery or some other failure as the video does a good job of capturing images of all the symptoms/results of the bad battery.

I drive like a crazy teenager and still get close to 15mpg in my warthog. But like you say, this is not a metric to focus on for this vehicle class. Kind of like dwelling on towing capacity for a Ferrari.

I get 14.5.... it's a flying brick....who cares....

Same here. 14.6 running a JB4 on level 3 tune all the time with 93 octane in it. Couldn’t be happier with the amount of fun it provides.

Oh for sure, knowledge is power! Any and all Bronco Raptor content has benefits.
