It's been offered on fire trucks for a few years now Somewhat popular Around $4k on a heavy truck frame Yes that would be a great feature That and a stainless steel body Too bad about that whole planned obsolescence prerogative Look at the 20 yr old a8's out there If they still run, the...

So I backed out of a raptor cuz it felt ungainly and I was not impressed by Motor sound and transmission It also had a shimmy on the freeway I drive e30 e46 bmws I expected a truck experience but the magazines (which were my only basis of info) made the truck seem somewhat nimble for such a...

yeah every year according to my math. but it kind of kills the incentive to buy something now when you know it will be updated right away. good question. i figured go for the best. and i like that they are't in every garage. and they have great resale. the reviews are amazing and gave...

why does Ford release the 2018's when many dealers don't even have decent 17's on the lot? I mean, a new fascia is one thing. but it appears that the entire engine range will be different. why would anyone buy a '17?

That's good enough to wait if I was looking for a regular f150 They fixed the looks Now they rival gmc

I wondered but they're not appealing to me A ridge line can do a decent job of pulling a car. Why not a raptor? I'll tow a car trailer a half dozen times and a ski boat and sleds about same I'm gonna take my car trailer to dealer Monday and see how the one in the lot sags...if they...

Sag Understood but I don't want it to sag like a Tacoma with a cup of rice in the bed

Towing Good info Any updates? Have you tried towing? I have same trailer and a 2600 lb m3. I really don't wanna do anything beyond stock to the truck.

Exactly

Thought this was a raptor review thread, not a mud flap critique Back on msg please?

Towing Seriously? My primary move into a truck is to tow a 2600lb track car on a 1500 lb open trailer. Don't know tongue weight but my suburban squats a bit. The raptor cited above was retracted by dealer for reason covered in other threads. I found another raptor but maybe I'm better off...

So you can hear all 6 pots? Viper owners complained on the 5 cyl sound on their side pipes. Maybe hide the rear outlets and install some fake side ones with speakers and an eight cyl soundtrack inside them As long as it doesn't sound coarse like my flex eb I'm fine My dads limited eb sounds...

Curious who has the most miles on their gen2 raptor at this point and what are your experiences so far? On road examples preferred. Thx!
