[QUOTE="CatchMeOffroad, post: 1157505, member: 19961"] TBH, I had the exact same dilemma. I was more interested in power and speed, than hardcore offroad capability. I went and test drove the Roush F150 right before the Gen 2 Raptors were out. I really do not like the look of the trucks, so I narrowed it down to 2 options: 1. Buy an XLT/Lariat F150 and add the Roush Supercharger and exhaust system myself for about $10k OR 2. Buy a G2 Raptor. I ended up going with the Raptor, mainly because of the looks...but honestly some days I wish I went for the supercharged 5.0 instead. If I were you, I would go that route and get a 650hp monster with an awesome exhaust note and factory warranty, and save the $15-20k extra that the Raptor costs. You will still have some offroad capability with the normal F150, which seems to be adequate for your needs. There are many dealers that will install the SC and exhaust for you, so that you can include them in your loan if that's what you want. Hope that helps.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] The A/C has nothing to do with it being Roush or not; that's a Ford component. Same parts that are used on the Raptor. Not sure what other issues he had with his first truck, but I have not heard many bad things about Roush products.
