[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1819897, member: 21926"] It wouldn’t be a bad idea. Most of the FRF crew now came to the truck after the first model, and lots of converts from other vehicles are here now. Let’s be honest, buying a Raptor is a cl0wn show. The truck is incredible but the maroons you have to weed through to get the truck is ridiculous. Plus, allocation. Like I’ve joked in another thread and paraphrasing Don Henley: ‘You can order any time you like, but you will never receive’... :-/ It can be kind of nutty. You can wait for over a year now for a truck that may, or may not get built. I’m reminded of when I bought my first, and to date only Ducati. Every Duc forum I went to had a thread like ‘Is a Ducati right for you?’ Now I’d looked around before hand so I knew that there could be some common ... issues. And let me just say those threads were spot on because as it turns out, no, a Ducati wasn’t right for me. Because you have random $h!t just stop working, or come out and find the battery dead. The 3 month old battery (that got cooked by a soon to be dead voltage regulator). And you may never get the darn thing to fuel properly, which isn’t so much a problem on the race track where you spend a lot of time in high rpm ranges that do fuel properly. Etc., etc. A buying a Raptor FAQ post would be helpful to n00bs, and maybe even some old timers here. [/QUOTE]
