    Livernois & 7.0

    So there's a lot of speculation on this new 7.0 motor. It could be based on the 6.2, but the 6.2 failed the 1000 hour test, and Ford would have to completely redesign it to use it for heavier classes. Some are hinting that the new 7.0 will be a completely new design with pushrods. My...

    Raptor vs Other Toys

    Been kicking around the idea of picking up a G Wagon. Thing is, I can't justify it beyond wanting one since I was a kid. My Raptor can do everything it can + more. Serious question: Why, specifically, do you have both? (Btw, my Raptor will never be sold, so I'd have both trucks, if I...

    Gen 1 Owners - What Say You ?(2017)

    I say: I'm glad I have my '14. Ford has lost focus by putting their tech development and green agenda above their QA department and client base's desires. They would rather eschew reliability and their customer's wishes of a V8. A survey here revealed a 90+% V8 consensus, and their joint...

    GEN 2 got my new raptor last monday... thoughts

    Thank you for the write-up, Troy. It was honest and affirmed what I was suspecting would be my exact issues with this new model. Looking forward to you updating this thread periodically, as I suspect most "V6 and 10spd ftw" type posters will be too abashed to post their true sentiments. Keep...

    Witnessed 2017 in person, cancelled order shortly after.

    Sounds horrible to my ears. I'll be hanging on to my '14 until I die. Nothing... And I mean nothing... Sounds as good as a middle finger to CAFE regs and the Eco-friendly forum bourgeoise.... https://www.instagram.com/p/BJYYLbHDiie/ But let's continue condemn V8s and V12s. It makes...

    To Buy Or Not To Buy

    I agree with what's being said. One thing that I would like to touch on, is that if you get a King Ranch, everytime you see a Raptor pass by, you will feel a slight discomfort. You will question your decision. You will try to justify as to why you didn't get a Raptor, instead. You will...

    Who has the lowest miles?

    It's unbelievable. Yamaha put a 1000cc motor in a 600cc frame when they began designing it, and it shows. Handles so damn well. The riding position is very aggressive. Very up and forward. This means it sucks if you're using it as a street bike and are stuck in traffic, because you're leaning...

    Engine Sound ***Just in ***

    Those who are comparing the Raptor V6 to the Ford GT need to listen to it running once it's out of neutral. x95ViD9AUsA ...I crown thee, the EcoQueef.

    Who has the lowest miles?

    3360 Taken this morning This, track days, Home Depot, and a monthly visit to the gym is about all I expect from her, as everything else is accomplished by other vehicles

    Extended Warranty - Yes or No??

    New EcoBoost to have 600 horsepower I was flipping through the new issue of BBC Top Gear. Specifically, the "UK awards 2014 issue" On page 96 it states that for the 2017 Raptor "early numbers suggest that they are already producing nigh on 600bhp" Looks like G2 might actually get the GT...

    Are you going to upgrade to a Gen 2?

    Really curious to get everyone's feedback as a poll... Are you going to upgrade to a Gen 2 Raptor? Why? -------------------------------------------- I will not be upgrading because of the engine, the unknown reliability of the 10 Speed (it took Ford until '14 to perfect ours), and I...

    Lost my Raptor

    I know a guy who ate some vajayjay once. He heard his brothers talking about it for years, so the first chick that got naked for him, he did. Literally. Kid ended up with a broken nose. And I wouldn't be surprised if she suffers from some form of PTSD...

    Lost my Raptor

    It's kinda scary how much of your identity gets wrapped up in the things you own until, and you don't realize just how much it does until it gets taken away from you. Something similar happened to me when I was your age. It was then that I decided to work on improving myself more and hit the...

    Noob question: Remove tailgate step and handle?

    I quite like the step. It's much easier to load the dead hookers. Especially the fat ones.

    Octane rating vs fuel consumption

    I like playing Monopoly. But only of I get to rock the race car. Give me the thimble and I'm throwing it at your face. So you're saying that if you have a chemical at 10%, and it has water absorbing properties along with solvent and destructive qualities... That at a 30% mixture, it somehow...

    Exactly. From the way Wilson is talking, you'd think he owns a couple cornfields. ;) Here's the real deal on ethanol: ---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ---------- Ethanol attracts and holds water in your gas tank. This is why you see the following...
