Trying to decide between FX4/Ecoboost and Raptor

[whtrapta]

Do the '12 and '13 come with FRONT locking diff ?

No its the torsion style which in most cases works just as well if not better than just a full locker. easy steering with the same traction

Yeah the Raptor kind of seems like a no brainer really. It's astounding to me that the difference in invoice pricing for the FX4 with leather and a base Raptor is less than $1500. Considering everything you'd have to do to the FX4 to make it a capable off-roader, and even then it still wouldn't be in the same class as the Raptor. Either the FX4 is horribly over-priced or the Raptor is just a steal of a bargain.

Everybody here seems pretty pleased with the Raptor and guys over at the F150 forums are either trading in their trucks for Raptors or wishing they had one...

I think that pretty much says it all.

Yup. That's how it goes. If your spending that much in an fx4, why even think about it, just get the rap! No brainer like you said.

I know I said locking, but I was just referring to the Torsen diff. Gimme a break, I'd been awake like 5 mins at that point, lol.

I have a 2012 supercrew Raptor I have over 10k miles on it now. Cruising at 74 mph with long tube headers no cats afe intake and 5 star tune 14.5 mpg to 15.5 mpg. That is running 87 octane fuel

ask Linexsa here, he bought an FX4 Eco instead of a Raptor, citing much of the same thing you have. few months later he sold his FX4 and bought a Raptor. learn from his mistake young Padawan....

I was on the fence about an FX4 Ecoboost and a Raptor until my friend said, "You don't want to have to get in your truck everyday and wish it was a Raptor."
