[QUOTE="Spider-One, post: 488644, member: 469"] I had a 2010 Black SCAB and traded it for a 2012 Red SCREW. Main reason for me was towing (6000lbs vs 8000lbs). The back seat on the SCREW is huge and more than enough legroom for friends. The SCAB back seat is manageable but I wouldn't want to be back there on a long trip. In terms of carrying gear the SCAB would likely be fine for almost everyone. My g/f has a 2011 Blue SCAB which was imported from the US by the dealer and we saved 5-6k. If you import yourself you can save more but most US dealers wont sell to Canadians as Ford had been clamping down on that. When it comes to winter I see more of it then most on the forum and my stock Raptor has done fine if you can understand that it takes longer to stop on ice. Only issue on our end has been a few leaking power steering hoses (always the same hose) taken care of under warranty, likely due to extreme cold causing higher pressures I guess. Hopefully Ford has made changes to beef up the hoses but I couldn't see a difference. Dealers can't keep the hoses in stock once winter rolls around. [/QUOTE]
