[QUOTE="AlbertaRaptor, post: 353553, member: 2787"] I just sold my Raptor yesterday and picked up my new EcoBoost FX4. I loved my Raptor, but a few things pushed me to move on. 1) Fuel economy, I know you don't buy them for fuel economy but I save $3.60 ever 60 miles I drive now. I drive 35,000 miles per year. 2) I never got to use it like a Raptor should be used. Gravel roads was the closest I got and it's just plain stupid to drive on gravel and avoid pavement to get the Raptor experience. If I lived in a place where you can run balls to the wall on a wide openspace....different story. 3) Nagging power steering pump issue....damn thing blew and after 5 different dealers I gave up on ever having a quiet one like my first. 4) Exhaust cut-out. I put one in dumb move. I could never seat the damn thing right to stop the exhause spitting. 5) I bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for the tight trails here in Alberta. $24,000 cheaper and I can bump every weakness except the nameplate for that kind of money. 6) Behemoth to use off-road for the reasons above 7) unwanted attention. Seriously I hated getting stared at and I hated every 90IQ Dodge Ram owner challenging me at the light. All tried all failed btw.... I loved my Raptor, I'm not going to miss it. Weird Jeff [/QUOTE]
