Ford is already moving in this direction with the 2017 super duty its an option on all trims including King Ranch and Platinum

With the seats folded a focus wagon has a cargo volume of 55.8 ft3. My svt raptor with the cover on the bed has a volume of 55.4 ft3 and ca still carry 5 people or a combination of people and more cargo in the cab or I can fold the cover up to carry more stuff. Now if you want to challenge the raptor over the next few…

I’ll give you that for FCA. But the problem that for and GM have is they both sell close to a million fullsize pickups a year add in that they are both popular with SUVs and sell a bunch of those they would have to sell a ridiculous amount of cars to balance the numbers. Then factor in the fact that some of those cars…

I bought my raptor before the gas prices fell and will buy another one. If gas goes up I will live with roommates instead of my own place , I will not eat out go to the movie etc. it’s the only vehicle on the market that meets my needs wish it got better MPGs but oh well. My hobbies require me to have a combination of…

The problem is that Ford GM and FCA sell 70% -80% respectively light trucks I know plenty of people with a “domestic” truck and a “foreign” car. My mom had Jetta TDI and a Chevy suburban when I was growing up. We shouldn't have truck buyers subsidized small cars that have to compete with the Germans, Japanese, British…

They should exempt enthusiast spec vehicles from CAFE wranglers, raptors TRD Tacomas, land cruisers that have heavy skid plates high aproach angles which affect drag and meatier tires which are bad for fuel economy.

Except ford has a 60% take rate on ecoboost and offers the 5.0 v8 my next truck most likely will have the ecoboost 3.5TT. I think the GM v8 with cylinder deactivation has more issues than fords twin turbo set up right now.

Doug you should have helped me move from Upstate New York to Phoenix by way of South Carolina with the Aston. A friend and I drove from Columbia to Phoenix stopping only for gas/bathroom breaks one cop and one flat. Took 34 hours. But 3,000 miles in 3 days is hard on any vehicle.

I showed my parents and my little brother the tables yesterday, after running the numbers both will be selling theirs back to VW My mom has a 2015 Passat 6 speed and my brother a 2013 sport wagon 6 speed. My brother had already been saving up for a 2017 Ford Raptor as a second car now he’s just going to roll over the…

I'm pretty sure the GE90 is the sole engine option for 777-300ER and -200LR

I almost had that happen to me could feel the truck bogging down kept the speed up and headed back to solid ground.

I got my Raptor stuck in a mud pit in Utah in 2011

Ford has something similar my 2010 f150 has the ability to program certain keys with the same parameters, limiting the speed and audio volume. They call it MyKey

I will not miss the v8 in my Raptor I have been wanting the ecoboost since they first announced that engine, but my needs required a raptor so finally ill have the truck and engine that I want. i did’t get a crew cab because i refused to drive a 6.2 with single digit fuel economy.

My millage defiantly varies depending on my style and where I’m driving , winds, if I put it into tow haul mode in the mountains which tires are on it etc.

That’s why I bought a ford raptor. It was cheaper and has better off road features. My 2010 raptor MSRP $42k 2005 suburban Z71 $47k and that’s not counting inflation. 5 years later and the raptor had more features 2 more gears and all the raptor stuff for $5k less. At that point I switched from an SUV to a pickup with…

I would say the 5.4l raptor is a good choice all of the raptor goodies plus most of the parts are interchangeable with fleet specials. Smash a door get a new one at pick a part.

Neutral : what ever the family has lieing around. When I was leading to drive my dad had a 93 turaus SHO and my mom had a 99 suburban and an 04 Jetta TDI my self and three of my siblings would share those vehicles with my mom but would mostly use the suburban as we typicly drove the least and carried the most people.…
