New (worthless) article from Jalopnik

What Do You Want To Know About The 2017 Ford Raptor?

Apparently the jalopnik crew is getting to drive the Raptors as well this weekend. Not much info in the article but might be some interesting results early next week.

Jalopnik sucks. I want to do my own media review next week.

Not one of the comments to that article ask anything serious. Definitely not the target audience for the Raptor.

Yeah unfortunately it seems like that's the standard case for jalopnik.

everyone on there just seems to want to get a dig in or some stupid comment

Hopefully a better story from an actual motor journalistic site will come back with some good information. It's probably better if they also turn comments off.

Jalopnik is a conundrum. They're liberal millenial bloggers who don't have a pot to **** in. They like cars but they hate the rich people who own the really nice one's. They're really self-loathing snarky cocksuckers who produce crap content. Some of them may actually grow up to be the one's they hate.

when I opened this thread all I expected to see was a link to jalopniks main website. Because everything they do is worthless.

Jalopnik doesn't do car reviews. You have it all wrong. Last time I went to the page it was nothing but Trump hate.

"Full Disclosure: Ford needed us to drive the new Raptor so badly they put me on a train to San Diego, left me alone with a whole buffet and then let me have at the truck for a couple hours under the supervision of one of their executives on Sunday. On Monday, we drive off-road. "

Yeah, because they're just that special. Never mind the 100's of other media attendees that had the same treatment.

"The new Raptor sits on all-terrain BF Goodrich KO2 tires. These came out a couple years ago and have basically been considered the benchmark for daily drivers that go off-road. "

False. These are entirely new from the current KO2.

"The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 makes itself known through a fat four-inch true dual exhaust system, but once it’s running, you’re liable to forget it if you keep your foot light enough."

Incorrect. Dual 3" not 4".


The whole article sounded like they want to hate it but just can't find enough reason to.
