Must have cheap plastic body cladding!

That would be nice... of course, there would be a heck of a battle in ~5 years for all the Jalops on here that would try to buy those 9 RS4 Avants that sold in the U.S.

But it’s also probably lighter and smaller and more importantly, Ford needs to differentiate (significantly) between the little baby Raptor and the big daddy Raptor.

Not sure how Jeep is made irrelevant by this (or the never-will-happen Bronco). Jeeps will still be better for pretty much any other kind of off (or very rough on-road) driving. The current Raptor is apparently pretty garbage on anything except pavement or sand. Rough logging road or major pothole dirt trail? Go…

You mean a special edition low volume truck isn’t for everyone? *Gasp*

they should be able to get the 2.7 over 350hp, already at 325hp/400 tq, could expect 425+ tq maybe.

Its stupid excessive. My buddy has one and its massive inside and out. However, if you care about offroading in the slightest you should at least look into them. Here’s my buddies plowing through 3ft of mud/water.

The Raptor isn’t for hauling things. Unless its beer, your bro’s out to the dunes or the lake or ASS!!!!!! The Raptor is for the weekends and to let other bro’s know that your top bro. The Raptor is status, The Raptor is a pu**y magnet and a d*ck magnet. The Raptor is total, bro.

Looks like Border Patrol-spec;) Nice.

A fixed roof desert runner is going to make the apex trail truck/rock crawler/beach cruiser and mall cruiser irrelevant? Nope. Not happening. The coming Bronco will not do it either.

Nah I’ll still take a Jeep thanks.

Well I will send an email to Ford to cancel the whole project then. “Scrap it, boys. There’s a guy on the internet who only hauls stuff in his 2WD speed bump scraper, so no need for the Raptor.”

No removable roof, no care. (Most any Wrangler enthusiast)

2.7/3.5 EcoBoost or GTFO

California is melting pot of car cultures. It just depends on which area you are in. You’ll get unruly hooning in parts of OC that attracts college-age kids. You can go by the sea in OC, where it is a meet-up of gentleman exotics. You can be in a part of South Central LA where the meets are low-riders with…

I’m a little baffled as to why we expect car companies to offer discounts in the first place. Sure it’s a nice thing to do, and sometimes companies do nice things, but to shun a company for not giving a good enough discount?

There’s a term for owning more on something that it’s worth... I just wish I could remember it.

He de-badged it like a BAUSSS.
