Hey folks. I have been debating for some time about getting a Ford Raptor. Would like to hear from the folks who actually drive them today. Maybe some pics to drool over as well. Pros and cons.... Thanks in advance!
Ford Raptor - Are they really that awesome?
- Thread starter tthompson
- Start date
Chevy don't make it, so I don't drive it!
My cousin bought one and had it less than a year before he sold it. Loved the truck, hated the fuel mileage and a long commute.
I'm a Ram guy myself. Only ford I'd ever buy is prbly the raptor.Chevy don't make it, so I don't drive it!
Yeah the 10 mpg city and 15 mpg hwy isn't a win for ford. Luckily I have a 15 min commute and don't plan on moving anytime soon.
I'd really have to think hard about spending $50,000 on a truck.
"14 Raptor owners on an outing drive fast down a gravel road and 10 come back with bent frames.... no other damage - no broken axles, no flat tires, no leaf spring problems, no smashed body panels or skid plates, no wheel bearing problems, etc... That is a design flaw"
It's a cool truck, it's just been proven that it can not do what they say it is made to do.

Haven't priced many new pickup trucks lately have you? Almost all the full size 4WD models regardless of manufacturer with a decent payload and decently equipped are running darn near that except base work models.
As far as Ford pickups go my previous employer ran a fleet of several hundred. I'll be very nice and leave it at "the fleet maintenance mechanics had no problem staying busy."
If I had the bread I'd get one. They sexy as all get out. That said I don't see me spending 50-60k on a pick up truck.
Over rated plus its a ****ing Old Rebuilt Dodge
