The fuck are you on about? These holes cut into the bed with shocks sticking out are ‘stock off the showroom floor’?

What I learned from the comments:

Some of you will not like this truck unless it has a different badge.

I think we need a new truck racing class that requires you to carry 6-12 sheets of 4x8 plywood, or two motorcycles, a dog, and a tent.

Yes, that Tundra was completely stock at Baja 1000, all the way down to the shocks and leaf springs popping up through holes in the back pickup bed.

The Fox Shox are the same diameter (3 inches) as the production Fox Shox but they are external bypass on the race truck so the damping can be tuned to race conditions. Different leaf springs to help manage the extra weight from the safety cage.

Oh I believe that this is how they actually spell it as a company. I just don’t like it.

You’re being a bit silly. No one races anything that stock unless you’re doing SCCA autocrossing. Hell, I race dirtbikes and it’s S.O.P to re-spring and re-valve your bike to fit your style, weight, and skill level. And that’s at the local amateur level where we’re racing for $10 trophies.

So you say this Raptor’s not stock, and to prove it you used the Tundra as an example. The Tundra that Toyota used to prove how bad-ass their TDRPro trim package was by replacing everything that made it a TRDPro. Great example, really furthers your point.

Ford is just ahead of the curve on this, like it or not, future regulations dictate that this has to happen. That’s why my new F150 has an aluminum body, start-stop, and a 2.7L turbo V6.

Well, Chrysler put turbos in everything but the trucks in the ‘80's/early 90's, but that’s probably only because everything was a k-car.

A buddy and i watched in awe as this truck sold at auction for $65,000! It wasn’t too bad of a stretch, but an otherwise nice 40 with 9 inch wild wheels (6-7 wide being stock) with face bead locks in an auction where everything was super original and nice.
WTF!!!

For those of use in the ice storm latitudes, it’s worth it to not have to chip your blades from of blocks of ice.

I always thought it was so the birds would have a place to land. Who knew?

That comment is so unbased dude. Just look at the GT, all of the ST’s, the RS, the Raptor, as well as the new Fusion Sport. That’s the opposite of “resting on their laurels.”

EcoBoost is turbo+direct injection.

They’ll backtrack on diesel, GM will backtrack on aluminum trucks, and Ram will backtrack on tire tread pattern seats.

I agree. When a young student gets a bad grade in math, they often feel discouraged, defeated, and reside to being bad at math. They go on to continue several years around the subject of math without mastering or feeling confident in the areas where they didn’t do well. Math is continuing subject that builds a…

Honestly, I am not great at math, but personal finance actually requires math-related thinking more than it does actual math. When I’m managing my accounts, I spend way more time thinking about concepts like risk, trends, technology than I do actual math. And the math mostly comes in when I’m looking at fees and…

How much more evidence is needed before robust financial education becomes part of the curriculum in every school in the nation? People need to understand money, or the whole country is fucked. It’s absolutely enraging that personal finance has never been an educational priority.
