My insurance lists my raptor as a F150 xlt. I got in an accident off road and the insurance adjuster admitted to me that they don’t know it’s a raptor until they get eyes on the vehicle. Then because they are valued so high they just fix them. He showed me a picture of a raptor that had been rolled. They sent it to…

Its not what I think its what I know and what is easily searchable and available to you with an internet connection. You can see what organizations such as Motor Trend have done with consistent testing of different vehicles over the years. I don’t think you are getting physics, it takes energy not power, energy can…

It gets closein FE it’s about gearing too and that’s a 1400lb difference. As far as rides go the Ford Raptor is one of the most comfortable vehicles to ride in on the highway. My regular f-150 rides better in my opinion than my moms Passat way better that my sisters Cruze or the Jetta or Tiguan, Taurus or Mustang that…

$5 a gallon would impact more than just your commute everything you buy would go up in price the cost of transportation would shoot up rapidly and all those costs would be passed on to the consumers. Walmart and Amazon aren’t going to just eat the costs. How about lower income people who cannot afford a new car and…

The braking department it seams that the 2013 Explorer   beats out he 2013 Taurus easily, 60-0 a 2012 F150 4x4 Crew Cab matches the taurus on 60-0 and only stops 7 feet longer with a 1180lb payload in the bed according to Motor trend. The F-150 is 2 seconds slower throughout the figure 8 but the Expedition platinum…

It’s not that simple. Most roads in NA an F150 will not even approach it’s lateral g limit. Many of the older roads where it would are so full of potholes that a truck like a raptor will carve up the corners quicker than a track focused cars. On a race track or the Nurinburgring the track focused car wins but people…

Some of us are going to drive bigger vehicles reguardless. I rent I’ll move closer to work before I drive a sedan and suffer the lack of comfort those vehicles offer. As a Todd share holder and F-series owner I welcome this move the fusion make a ok loaner. But other than marginal fuel economy benefits from its…

With the exception of the st/rs/sho these offerings are lacking in the performance setting. Looking at Motor trends testing data a F150 4x4 crew beats some versions of the fusion in the figure 8 . I don’t mind a fusion as a rental/loaner. But when I needed to buy a second vehicle I bought a F150 platinum.

Even during the recession the F-series was the number 1 vehicle they launched a new body style, the raptor and 4 New drivetrains. And an all new superduty with a in house designed diesel. F-series alone is worth more than the rest of the Ford operation ford would be better off dropping Lincoln and SUVs and just make…

If you haven’t been shopping for a new car in a while you’d be surprised at how terrible cars are these days. I went with my dad to the auto show to look at cars and kick the tires. The roof line on many sedans prevents adults from sitting in the back seat. My dad is 5’9” and I’m 6’2” and he could not fit in the back…

It seams like nobody does in the real world. For curiosity I looked it up and a crew cab f-150 4x4 will do .73 g on the skid pad and .59g on a figure 8. The mustangs GT does better at .96g and .84g respectfully. The fusion hybrid does .79g on the skid pad and a figure 8 at .58g at the figure 8 the escape does .81…

I have dual automatic climate control the windows stay closed unless at a parking facility, or to badge into the parking lot at work. Don’t need dust getting inside.

I’ve lived in Utah South Carolina , New York and now Arizona with my truck it’s either too cold or too hot etc. And to as insult to injury in normal cars the standard sunroof when you move up trim levels means my head doesn’t fit. Which means I’m stuck with painful seats which means I don’t ride in or buy sedans. I…

My ford dealer keeps trying to get me in a new raptor but all the ones in the lot have a giant panoramic thing on the roof. I just dread the thought of rolling in a raptor highspeed in rocky terrain with a glass roof.

In case something breaks or your on a strap hill to help prevent to much strain on the park paw. When I park the raptor on a hill and forget to set the parking brake the shift lever takes more effort and you can hear it clunk out of park. It’s also the only time I had a parking break Fail. Off roading in Death Valley…

Fellow p-415 owner here (had to look to see that my f-150s were 12th generation) both are so different that I think only the front doors are the same part. 2010 is a 5.4l Raptor supercab with all the special raptor stuff older electrical system. Hydraulic steering. 2013 platinum has aluminum instead of plastic for…

Why would you want a sun roof? When I bought my raptor it had a sunroof. It has been opened twice, the sunshade is always closed idk the point of the thing or the panoramic roof craze. To me having an additional sunglasses holder is more valuable. I’m also the only one in my family with a sun roof.

Just remember that most trucks are not bro dozers. And yes they are bad between the bad lifts that mess up their drive line and drive supper swappers in the desert or the snow. Most of the time the tires at bald if the truck is more than a few years old. I had a salesman try to get me into a used 2wd bro dozer xlt…

I’ve seen it as well people in late model SUVs and trucks that I know have infotainment systems that can pair a phone quickly. I recently saw a lady in a current gen Escalade with her phone to her ear and turned in a way that she was not looking out one side of the car.

So pickup owners are the most responsible when it comes to tires. I’m on set 5 for my raptor in 153000 miles. I don’t know how people let their tires get that bad. I need tires with deep tread for off-road uses so when they get too low for my needs (still pass the penny test) I replace them.
