“But even the first generation Raptor was reasonably sized compared to the current model.” Really ? as an owner of a Gen one Raptor with the 5.4l I think you need to look at the actual dimensions of the truck. mine is nearly an inch longer only 0.1 inches shorter and weighs roughly 600 lbs more than the current one.

Since Ford is a publicly traded company you can look up a lot of its financials, calculate profits and cash flows and determine the value to the company. the Analyst most likely took yearly sales of the F-Serise just under 900k and multiplied by the average transaction price to figure out the income that Ford received

And it competes against another FoMoCo product that is cheaper when comparably equipped, holds its value better, and is in right now. For $6,000 less you get a more utilitarian vehicle with the same tech stuff and features , the ability to tow just about everything you want.

In June 2009 I was home from college around the same time as my brother was from West Point one of his roommates had come with him since he had about 5 days off before he had to go to training in FT Huackucka in Southern Arizona. My brothers friend had ben given two different report dates for the training and we

In March of 2011 I was in training at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi. On my way back to the hotel I was staying in off base in my truck. I got off the on ramp and there was a construction zone with a police officer directing people to make a right turn , where I needed to make a left. I went right and made a

My actual license plate on the F-150, just got it last week. It has the F-35 on it and says “The Sound of Freedom” across the bottom. I got it partly because I was in the Air Force and there are 3 Fighter pilots in my Family (4 if the one getting ready to start pilot training makes it). Also to troll the people who

Well according to that link some of the reddest states , Utah and Wyoming are givers. It really depends on what all the Feds are spending on. New Mexico a blue state is a big taker but has numerous Native American tribes that revive federal money, 2 Air Force bases. A nuclear laboratory and a test range there is also

I’m partial to the f150 king ranch in guard.

If you use one enough then renting can cost more than owning plus the rental places often say you cannot drive their rentals on a dirt road. Additionally trucks generally when new are a lot cheaper to buy than the equivalent SUV. It is roughly $16,000 more for an Expedition than an F150 comparably equipped before you

The thing is that many pickup owners drive their trucks more than most people. I have put 30K on my Raptor in the last year. I was doing 25k a year when i lived walking/ biking distance to work ( yes i rode my bike to work and was still driving that much in 90% of the miles needed either a 4x4 or the cargo volume.)

OR you know just buy a used nice truck for less money.

I bought my Raptor one year old 10,000 miles for $37,500 out the door it stickers for 42,600 and was first sold in California so I’m pretty sure I got a good deal. 3 weeks ago I bought a 2013 platinum with 65k for $29 + tax title and tag. Considering I drive 30k a year right now a new truck that stickers for $65k

I went ahead and bought a lightly used truck since I drive so much I don’t want to eat a lot of depreciation. It’s more used than my Raptor was when I got it. But fully loaded 5.0L with low miles for its year makes it hard to beat when the 2018 version would be double the price for 60,000 fewer miles .

Don’t buy one if you have a shoe size bigger than 9 you will have a hard time with the peddles. Or if your legs have any length your legs are wedges too deep in the dash. I drove one of these in college and found the John deer gator to be a much better handeling and comfortable vehicle. Plus 6 wheel drive.

90s era 1/2 ton GM trucks and SUVs they are cheap easy to fix, teach kids how to handle a large vehicle, they will learn to watch traffic and break sooner, and over all better car handling skills  If they can parallel park one of these they can park any thing. Get horrible milage so they will not go far, No fancy

The 5 million are paying members, there are plenty of people who still agree with the NRAs messages and others who while not liking the NRA support the 2nd amendment to say its only 5 million. There were 25 million background checks completed last year alone in this country. Pew research says that only 29% of gun

Just stating the cold hard facts.

I bought 3 of my 5 guns at the same time and bought 10,000 rounds of Ammo that I’m stgoung through some of. That was 9 years ago buying at Costco level is better when you have the cash. These mass shooters are not even buying amp in high quantities because the know they aren’t going to use that much. It’s the

The ability for the gun to fire quickly is based on the design of the gun to chamber the next round using the force exerted on it the cycle and bring the next round into firing position. Most of the current gun designs go back over 100 years in terms of how they operate. The only way to slow them down is to ad complex

Pistols kill more than rifles which kill less than Blunt objects.
