[QUOTE="frogslinger, post: 111894, member: 3117"] Which brings me back to my point... THE TRUCK IS NOT 7 INCHES WIDER THAN AN F150... the fenders are. Let me explain again with an analogy... we will pretend we have two identical twins... one overeats and weighs 250 lbs the other does not and weighs 180... one has a 42 inch waist the other 34... we will call the wider dude the raptor the narrower dude a king ranch... now here is the important part... they have an identical 6 foot arm-span from fingertip to fingertip... Now they both stick their arms (the mirrors) straight out and try to walk through a doorway (tight spot on a trail/parking garage whatever) not going to make it through cause doorways are generally less than 6 feet wide... now if you fold in their mirrors, that is drop their arms, they can probably both fit through the doorway, but it might be a tighter fit for the husky dude... So... the lanky guy actually gets a bigger advantage from his folding mirrors than the husky guy... same is true on the raptor... Or if you still have not made the connection at this point... the cab and mirrors on a raptor is the same as on all other scab f-150s (other than tow package)... the widest part of the F150 or raptor is the mirrors not the fenders... width is the measurement of the widest part of the truck... so ALL F150s with non tow package mirrors are the SAME WIDTH. Source of my info is the F150 brochure. [/QUOTE]
