[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1571923, member: 31322"] Comes down to this- when Ford made the plunge to all AL body sheet they had to replace ALL their presses @ truck factories. The steel Presses couldn’t be converted for use w/ the AL sheet. They probably put a lot of R&D into it....but at the end of the day anytime you make a big change on an assembly line there’s going to be some mistakes. It’s 1000000% likely Ford knows this issue very well.....& has zero plans/desire to fix it. Why? Because very few people buy scab trucks- raptor or otherwise. Therefore It’s an isolated issue - in their minds. Not worth chasing down- maybe next body style will have eliminated it. But....my guess is won’t be an issue b/c they will discontinue scab, what’s the point? You either want a back seat/extra doors or you don’t- who the F says, yeah give me the ****** small awkward opening backseat truck that has diminished resale value over the one w/ big ass normal doors & more room for chump change difference in MSRP? Not very many people. Does it “look” Better? Eh? Maybe depending on preference. I think would make a whole helluvalot more sense to offer a bare bones strippy regular cab 2 door version of the Raptor- maybe w/ a damn stick shift even- way more than it does to make a 1/2 ass 4 door scab. All the “benefits” Of the scab are enhanced by a regular cab- and for decidedly less money I’m sure. my guess is 3rd Gen raptor will only offer SCREW though, period. [/QUOTE]
