[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1352743, member: 31322"] Wrong. Try modding a lariat to match a raptor, look at my prior post. You’d probably spend more $$$ just in pets in labor to get it to be equal to the raptor (that means shelling out for the AL flared fenders- it all counts) you lose all your resale & then some (which is part of why the raptor commands its price) & again- no warranty. This is coming from a die hard GM guy - I wouldn’t touch a regular F150, that’s how much different I consider the Raptor, may as well be a different vehicle entirely as far as I’m concerned. Only other ford truck I’d consider would be a well optioned diesel 2500 & that’d only be if they discounted enough to be a bargain over a GM or Cummins (which they do....for obvious reasons) And when it comes to any other $70-$75k vehicle, I dunno...everything’s relative. Audi RS5 starts @ what a loaded raptor stickers at, has less power & less torque from V6 (what’s wrong w/ Audi’s crackerjack engineers they can’t surpass what Fords pushing out?) can’t tow shit, can’t haul shit, can’t go off-road, resale Plummets the second you look at it, has less passenger room (isn’t that part of comfort?) could also be viewed as just a packaged/optioned up version of a much lesser model, for every person that looks at Audi as prestigious they should be quickly reminded many of the vehicles are essentially reworked VWs & that’s the parent company anyhow (basically Germany’s Ford right?) just playing devils advocate here.... & personally the way I think IMHO when I see a car like that “cute car bud” - I prefer my sports cars to be the real deal. It’s all subjective b/c there ISNT an apples to apples comparison w/ the Raptor, & that’s part of the allure. [/QUOTE]
