Raptor
 

I don't consider myself a truck guy, but as soon as I heard about this, it did strike my interest. A factory offroad vehicle made to take a beating but still retain its warranty. 400 HP doesn't hurt either. Thoughts?

for truck guys this is the best news they have heard in a long time! So hey can i take this off road??
Dealer- Sure its covered!
Guy - Holy **** What NO WAAAAY!!!

Its ugly as sin but Who gives a **** its built to beat up. I can dig that.

Practicality FTW!

Yeah, but what trucks are real eye catchers? For the most part, they all look the same anyway :D

if i bought that.....lol

i would never shovel my driveway ever agian

Totally agree^^ I would also do all sorts of stupid ****

i would beat it up.....lol....... make sure "Built Ford Tough" stands to it's slogan

hell yea i would be all over !! in and outta ditches, mountains, trails, beaches lol

through people's yards ... golf courses ... pedestrians ...

up sidewalks , parking in buildings, through fastfood joints ( who needs a stinkin drive through)

Behind quiky marts, through retirement homes, in and out of congress, and around the sun.

parking curbs (is there a name for those?)

in movie theaters(bringin back the drive in) at concerts, through the go-go's

who am I kidding I would never buy that thing lol

If I knew of anywhere to take it, I'd think about it. I'm sure there are tons of places outside of phoenix, but I don't normally look into offroading.

yea im a performance guy, the only truck I ever owned was a dodge ram SST why because it was fasssssst

I've done crazy fast, but you barely get to use it. Which is why I'm going for the Z this time; handling is more useful, and it's still a quick car.

yes as I have aged (like a fine wine) I have realized that racing is not worth it.

I love racing, but i'm too responsible to do it on the street, and going to the track is an hour journey. But you can make use of handling or running over shi- anywhere :D

Exactly my point a time and place for everything!

This truck needs a machine gun.

Got almost everything ele:
400hp
Fox racing shocks, allowing over 11" of travel
SVT front control arms
Massive front skid plate
Huge aluminum running boards
Full size spare
That new tailgate step, which seems pretty convenient, assuming it doesnt break.
paint match interior available
4 aux gauges for aftermarket junk
air extractors in the hood (for what that's worth)

Just sayin, if I were an offroader, I'd be all over that.

i just want to know how much $$$$$ is that thing?

"Ford hasn't determined price or volume yet, though it promises a "value price" and a multiyear run."

Ford's tailgate step (for those who don't know what I'm talking about):

Hmmm...would be great to get around traffic here in Houston. Just jump off road and go around.

P.S. I love Ford trucks. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Amen, LiquidZ

100 mph ... through the rough desert! My sports car can't do that!
