[QUOTE="Hawaiian Time, post: 1415271, member: 19480"] I wouldn't buy a Fiat Ram any variety. I test drove an FX4 5.0 before buying my Raptor. The 5.0 sounded better but the performance was weak. The dealer was going to let me take it for $30k. Let me take it home overnight Saturday to Monday. Tried city and freeway tests. Used half a tank. MPG a little better than EB 3.5 Raptor maybe +2MPG. BUT, its basically a regular F150 4x4 with stickers. The Platinum is better equipped inside but the 5.0 will take some work, new dual exhaust, blower, the works. Suspension too. By the time you do all that you will have spent more than on a new Raptor 802A with Recaro seats & Tech Pkg. The only thing you get with Platinum that you dont get with Raptor 802 and Tech Pkg are vibrating seats and lots of chrome. I tested the vibrating seats in a Platinum Expedition. No big deal to me. Didn't hit the right spots. Just another gadget to break down. My 2 cents. Aloha, HT [/QUOTE]
