I'm not sure you understand the danger involved in going that fast in a pickup truck. Straight line speed is one thing but if you had to make any sort of emergency maneuver your almost certainly going to crash. At first it will feel like the truck won't want to do the swerve/turn then it will...

That was sexist

Threads like this keep me holding off a new raptor purchase. I don't know if I'm alone but I want raptor body and chassis with a bullet proof 6 speed manual, a simple engine and hardly any interior amenities

I had a 2003 Tacoma a a 2007. Good trucks but the design has not changed from 2005 overall the same truck. New smaller v6? Drum brakes! Paid like 22k for the first truck. 29k for the second one. Now they are 40k

Glad to see fellow mtb riders here.

I called Mobil and spoke with an engineer about that oil. He said that its for normal driving conditions, with stock vehicles. I told him I drive a high performance car that has a turbo engine he said that the oil was not intended for that purpose. In other words its designed specifically for...

I've had Alcantara seats since my 2005 STi and never had them fade or wear. In my opinion if your truck is actually a truck and for real work I would not get them. Most people use trucks as cars these days and the interior options reflect that. Order your seats according to what type of truck...

Problem is the bolster will be so big. I'm 6'2 185 and most cars have a lot of wiggle room. Being a truck I'm sure these will be even larger. Some new cars have electric fitting bolsters. As much as I hate extra features especially power seats electronically controlled bolsters are the only good...

is ford performance blue an extra cost option?

Yeah it isn't going to put more pressure in the shocks on command. Its probably not even going to change the rebound by very much to be honest. The Raptor is still an off road truck at heart and towing is not.

I doubt they will ever make a V8 again for the trucks.

I bet that color will be a nice upcharge.

After market intakes mess up the maf as well as let lots of dirt into the engine. I've seen so many with dirt inside the manifold.

Is the base price the same? How much are Recaro seats? Originally I wanted a base scab with a torsen but the seats might be worth if they aren't a package.

Well with my raptor I hauled a load of firewood up a steep muddy road then I pulled a heavy trailer over to the farm. After that the family went on a nice cruise for dinner. Oh wait that's normal truck use.
