    Galvanized Frame?

    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...

    What's with the 2018 release when dealers don't even have the 17's in stock?

    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...

    What's with the 2018 release when dealers don't even have the 17's in stock?

    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?

    Towing reviews Gen 2 Raptor?

    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 The raptor cited above was retracted by dealer for reason covered in other threads.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...

    Side Exhaust

    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...

    Looking for raptor at msrp

    Don't laugh You never know I haven't had much luck finding one for less than $5k over msrp and that kinda goes against my principles as I don't really need a truck until spring. So if you know of any or have a connection I sure wouldn't mind assistance.

    Got stiffed by Ferrario Ford

    I have to put in context. I had asked if they'd take an f550 on trade. All the while the price was at msrp. Today by phone the GM said it was a business decision and he understood my anger but it was out of his hands. Wayde. Owner is back! Has 3 e-mails from dealers offering $4000.00 over...

    How important is the twin panel roof?

    I generally hate sun roofs and usually only get them for resale. my dad has a limited with the twin panel and it's kind of annoying to have the daylite over you. that said, my kids would dig it and i'm wondering if resale would be poor without a twin panel roof. any suggestions?
