[QUOTE="ZaneMasterX, post: 953538, member: 14823"] All of your points are valid and make sense. Personally I wouldnt mind start/stop for driving around town but on the trail I do not want it so it would be nice to have the option to turn it off or on easily. The start/stop is already on most EB f150s so its not like its a brand new fancy gadget that just had millions dumped into R&D that needs to be paid for now. Does it bump the cost up a little? Of coarse it probably does and yes, its another thing to break but lets be realistic, the Raptor is a luxury offroad truck and thats part of the allure; all the creature comforts on the trail. I understand you and a lot of people dont want to pay for gadgets and things they will not use or dont want to use but it comes with the truck so its one of those rock and a hard place things where you are forced into it if you want a Raptor. Too many options for this and that make prices go up because production time slows down for all the customization so they go with what they think the majority wants. This Forum pretty much represents a niche group of hardcore guys who want a no frills badass truck and sadly I do not think Ford is going to cater strictly to this small niche and instead go with what sells more trucks in the long run whether its good or bad for the offroad niche or not. If people want a no frills offroad truck they might as well just buy a 1970s ford f150 and throw a bunch of money into it. Shit I just saw a commercial for the new Denali truck with magnetic ride suspension, thats not a truck, thats a grocery getter with a bed and sadly thats where the truck market is going, luxury trucks as status symbols to go golfing and to company lunches with. Personally I could care less if start/stop is on the truck but if it is I could see myself using it for most normal daily driving but it wont hurt my feelings any if its not on the truck at all especially if it lowers the price a bit.
