That’s exactly correct Ford shows their trucks being used on job sites even fleet strippers to show how durable hard working their trucks are. With rental cars they buy on a discount and sell after a year at a crap rate because they are trying to sell a large volume. Why buy new when you could by slightly used and…

I don’t know many people who are buying new small cars over used cars or used trucks and SUVs until they are in a position to buy a new one. I’m not going to buy a fiesta or an eco sport I bought a used cream puff of an f150 platinum with its maintenance records for what an eco sport costs. It will probably last…

I have only driven trucks and SUVs all bought used I bought a 3 year old suburban when I was in college and a 1 year old Raptor when I graduated. I think they will sell plenty of used trucks and SUVs keeping the resale’s up and drive demand for newer trucks and SUVs. I know many people who bought a used truck or SUV…

What has gotten worse in your personal life since  he was sworn in? You may not like the guy but he has made things better for people. I take home more money every month because of the tax bill, my stocks and retirement are worth more. I was able to visit my brother who is in US Space Command in Korea do to the deal…

They licensed caravans from dodge before it would make senses to do the same for a truck. But who are we kidding it’s VW none of the trucks for sale in America have the amount of problems that VW cars do so VW dealers would not want to sell them as they would not have much warranty work to perform.  

Look at Toyota and Nissan they struggle to offer the volume that the big 3 do in trucks even when they weeee the only ones in the small truck game. Thus they don’t have the abilities to offer a wider array of options to more customers and don’t generate the ROI to refresh and update as often. Ford and Nissan both…

Both my F150s 2010 Raptor and 2013 Platinum allow the rear locker to be engaged in 2wd up to 25 mph. If the Raptor is in “off road mode” you can engage the rear locker on the fly at any speed.

I agree I had a truck with a G80 and was about to go over an obstacle on a forest service road in the snow I could see where my rear end was only going to have limited traction and wished I could have locked the rear. The diff didn’t lock fast enough the truck bogged down and the backend would not stayand slid off the…

Yes the G80 is better than nothing but Ford has been slapping user controlled e-lockers on all their trucks starting with the 09 F-150 and 2011 super duty. And Nissan offered them in 2004 while Ram only was avalible on the power wagon until this year. having owned vehicles with both I think GM needs to follow the…

Some of use need 4x4 minivans cannot do that. 

Some of us can not contort our bodies to fit in a 95" Ranger nor want to commute in a vehicle that painful. 

Compared to what? I view them as superior vehicles in every area but sports car like handling and fuel economy. They are Great highway cruisers, easily soak up bumps and imperfect road surfaces, comfortable seats with plenty of room for people , large storage area for your stuff and very advanced 4x4 systems that…

I can fit both my trucks side by side without spilling over. I was actually siting in my Raptor one day pairing a new phone when a lady in a honda fit pulled up next to me and parked at an angle that i could not open my drivers door to get out. I have seen more terrible parking from small car owners than truck owners…

I agree I’m only 6’2 but have a 29” inseam and a large posterior as a result I sit tall and have problems fiting in most cars and crossovers comfortably. Even in the f-150 I have significant rake on the seat to give myself some head room. 

I off road , i just never aired down enough to need them additionally if you are doing the bead lock right getting the tires mounted and everything then you need to trailer the truck to the off road location or bring 4 sets of tires around with you,  as you cannot legally drive on the highway with the beads locked in…

Im 15% there but slowing down as a bought a different daily driver when i started having a long commute. It depends that million mile tundra was driven in a unique manner different from the way most owners use their trucks. If i drove my truck like that it would last that long but i bought a raptor to do raptor things…

Yah the frustrating part is in 2010 when i got mine it was more standalone options $1200 got you the better seats, and sound system, and auto climate control, which i love. to get the same features in the current truck is $9k

Im looking at getting another Raptor in a year or so and I want all the goodies except the Adaptive cruise, pano moon roof and beed locks.

That is the crutch of the issues with the raptor , options and greedy dealers. the Tundra TRD Pro rely doesn’t come with any options my brother has a 2017 that you could not get heated seats on and where a horrible for the summer synthetic leather. where as the raptor you can option cloth or leather or perforated…

As a Raptor owner and having spent a lot of seat time behind the 17 Tundra TRD pro I will say the the Tundra has a better exhaust sound than the V8 Raptors, however on a long drive the Raptors bout become annoying while the Tundra was just aggravating , but around town and at the stop lights its awesome.
