Well figured i would throw up an intro. Joined this forum a little while ago.
Currently own a 2012 F-150 FX4 SCAB 6.5' Bed.
Traded in my 2015 F-250 6.7 Powerstroke a few months ago to upgrade the wife to a new SUV. got my self the 150.
In great shape considering it had 115,000 miles on it. Plan to build it into an off road truck. Loved the Powerstroke and will have one again some day but financially it was a better move. with the diff in weight and how much more aftermarket support for the off road 150s I'm excited to build my truck.
was tempted buy a few raptors all with in my budget but what killed the deal for me was the shorter bed. Test drove about 3 of em and came close to purchasing. but couldnt go with out at least a 6' bed needed the 6.5' I often move several containers for work (Light weight Comms equipment) but the main box is too long for the 5.5 even with the bed extender.
Along with a few other things i use the truck for i could go with the 5.5' bed.
so went with the FX4 and I'm in the process of purchasing all the stock Raptor Suspension components from this forms members.
not trying to merely slap raptor grill and badges on a regular 150. hoping to achieve most of the off road abilities of the raptor and maintain my needed bed space.
