try multiple dealers and wait till 2018 I looked at trading in my 2010 5.4l raptor for a 2013 crew loaded I contacted several dealers by me the first to call me back flat out told me that they charged 18k over MSRP, and that they didn’t have any on the lot and would have to order one. As soon as I hung up I got a call…

It’s not just ground troops but fly boys fly on delta as well.

They will need to come up with better mapping navigation software for self driving cars having been taken to the wrong adress countless times by Google maps or down deadend streets that are supposedly through streets. Or the fact that my adress didn't exisit in Apple maps and having to talk the pizza guy to my front…

IDK about the younger generation not wanting trucks most of my friends own a truck of some sort. I'm 26 and own a raptor, my roommate is 24 and has a Silverado. I have several friends my age who own f150s, silverados, rams, tacomas and tundras. I don't know who they survey but many people my age use these types of…

Here is my now sold 05 z71 and my parents old 99 at my house in utah I think the 01-06 z71s looked the best on the out side but the late 90s where the most well rounded. I sold the 05 to get my raptor and my sister hit an elk with the 99 last year totaling it.

I think most of it had to do with a variety of reasons First increase safety requirements i.e. seatbelt laws meant you could not squeeze a large family in one of these anymore so families went to Mini Vans that where more fuel efficient and easier to drive or SUVs if they where out door types. Those who did not need…

I'm driving less than i was when gas was $3.50 a gallon gas prices never really affected where I want to drive. I was driving the raptor off road for fun due to living in Utah and doing fun out door stuff on a regular basis

Ford did the same thing to Ferrari over the F150 it comes to a point where it is all about trademark protection, I don't think anyone currently owns the GT trademark I see Fords, GT, Mustang GT, GT 500, GT350, MB AMG GT, Toyota GT 86, Aston Martin Vantage GT, Porsche Carrera GT, Alpha Romeo GT, Nissan GT-R

The manual is only available on the 2wd 4 cylinder extended cab WT trim

I bought my 2010 Raptor in 2011 with 10k on the clock for $37k with 90k on the clock now it is probably worth the same as the Colorado you described you just have to get the 5.4L instead of the 6.2L . it is also likely that in a year and a half when the 2017 Raptors come out the price will collapse on the 2010-14…

Yup its the G80 and it mechanically engages after there is slippage , the problem can arise when it doesn't engage fast enough, and I've been there done that, after some issues in the mountains of Colorado on steep drop offs I decided I like the ability to lock my rear end on command.

I have HDC on my Raptor and have only used it a few times mostly to show people look at this but it helps keep the transmission in first gear so it doesn't up shift on automatic transmissions, and puts more force on the rear brakes to the fronts don't lock up hindering steering, there has only been one time that i…

Most air lines lease a portion of their fleet though leasing companies as to not tie up capital and allow fluctuation between peak travel periods if they are based in a confined region. More than likely the Ryan Air Jets you saw where either bought from ryanair or returned from lease and hadn't been repainted, as the…

I'd get the full size range at that price or save some dough and get the rrs atb still plenty quick and loud and it has already set records crossing the open quarter and pikes peak the svr seams more track focused and less rounded compared to the rest of the line up

My 2010 ford raptor has gotten some dents on the bed and tail gate, I left them it's a truck but when I got in an accident it was parts and panel swapping nothing got "repaired". Also the insurance companies at least mine didn't know I had a raptor till my accident (mine shows up as an xlt to my insurance co and dmv)…

actually for the past 16 years ford has been ahead over all and it has pulled out a strong lead since 09 There are several sites that report on quarterly sales like pickuptrucks.com. Here is a link with long term trends. http://m.fool.com/investing/gene…

My guess is it has something to do with the fleet average fuel economy, I know many families that own one to tow and carry their families, in addition to government and fleet uses, but i think there was also a sales drop off on the 900s as they dropped the 8.1l and the 6.0 was very underpowered so the case for the 3/4…

In Arizona If there is still money on the plate when you sell or wreck the vehicle it can go on the new car Thats why my parents have had the same plate on 2002 m3 2004 Jetta TDI 2012 Passat TDI and 2015 Passat TDI and the Same plate on a 1999 Suburban and 2012 Tuareg. Additionally my parents have a 93 Taurus SHO…

On the Trucks costing $60k the auto makers have actually made the Luxo barges seem like a real value If you want a f350 crew Cab 4x4 Diesel with a couple options vinyl seems and crank windows it is a $50,000 Truck the range toping platinum is the same configuration is $64k but normal can be found on dealer lots with…

Top Gear doesn't always film segments in order of broad cast some of their segments where clearly filmed over the summer and broad cast in the winter. They where spotted with the raptor in Canada in Late November so they had to film then export the truck then have it clear customs get the MOT etc to get it to their…
