2014 Ruby Red SCAB - Is it that rare?

[Sernas]

Never compared the Raptor to a trophy truck. That's like saying a F-350 isn't a purpose built towing and work truck because it can't tow as much as a semi. The Raptor was a truck that was built to go off-road and stay street legal.

F-350 tows as much as a semi?

Sir, you are being intentionally obtuse for the purpose of being argumentative. Not sure that is productive to this thread.

I was about to say the same thing... @EricM

Probably hard to find because you have less storage area and less towing capability. I'm not sure I've ever understood the interest in a SCAB...

If you take your truck offroad you would. Any off roader knows shorter wheelbase is better for turning radius, easier to park, fits in your garage.

 

[Richard Hinsley]

For tight stuff, yeah. Is it better in high speed rough stuff though? I'd think a longer wheelbase would be advantageous in that off road scenario..

Yes for high speed stuff too. Watch some of any baja race. The Screws are better for hauling people and mall crawling.

Back to the posters original question, The SCAB's (in my opinion) are more desirable due to the fact that one quarter of the Raptors made, were SCAB's. Its a numbers game. When I got mine, I simply did not like the look of a four door truck, of any make or model. Its my personnel opinion though and we all have different tastes.

Lol at shorter wheel base is better for going through the bumps. While I'm not exactly sure the WB difference between the Super Crew and Super Cab I do know that longer wheel base to a certain degree is indeed better for going through the bumps.

What is the difference in WB between the two trucks?

 

[blbeck]

Bought my SCAB because I like the looks of it.

the scab is 12” shorter, trying to pretend that makes for a vastly different truck doesn’t make sense

Raptor Assault class strictly uses the SCREWS. They do great !
