Oh great 4 doors in Grey. Most of us that owned Raptors and used them as Offroad trucks really want to know the one freakin thing no one is talking about. HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL? 3" shocks? What’s the shaft diameter and oh ya HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL?

A Ridgeline however is a unicorn, it’s exactly the car/truck conglomeration that a hipster with some sort of large toy, say an extra large razor and shoe polish machine might need to haul his toy around in.

I had the extended cab which was great, I have 3 buddies with the screws that all left their rear bumpers scattered along the trail in Baja. You nailed it! 12" more wheelbase is exactly what the Raptor needs.

Everything is out there with a simple google search, hp, weight, electronic do-dads. For the peeps that actually use their Raptors the big question is how much freaking travel, what is the diameter of the shock and the shock shaft, and oh ya, how much freakin travel?

A lot of unknowns. We’ll have to see what happens.

Robby calls it a “Gordini” it his original creation with left overs and changes made to it from back when he was sponsored by Hummer.

We will have to wait for the dunes. The two wheel drive and the crazy navigating in them will be new for Loeb. He might get caught out in the big sand. You can't just aim for the way point as the dunes are too big, you have to zig and zag and dodge big dunes which can cause navigating nightmares.

No, Robby does everything the hard way and then whines about rules and non production engines because he thinks there’s no way anyone could be doing it better or smarter than him. I always root for him but he’s his own worst enemy. He spent years in desert racing making his own trucks and shocks then he jumped in a…

Bo Dukes grandson has been found!

I couldn’t have said it better myself......

I know, so awesome right? At least once every 50 years, I guess they’re due.

Uhhhh. Yeah, cause Porsche and Corvette have been winning these races since the last century and Johnny come lately is gonna spank them all, right. The only way that happens is if IMSA gives them a favorable BoP to thank Ford for joining but Chevy and Porsche have been there forever so don’t expect that BoP setting to…

YES! My wife’s 98 Passat was an electronically challenged blunder car which made me long for lucas electronics. Windows rolling up and down on their own and then deciding to not work for a while but then deciding to work. To turn the radio down you had to actually turn it up because the controls decided to somehow…

I will be at K-1 Irvine later and you don’t wanna miss my incredible ineptness on full display for your viewing pleasure.

I'm not really a bells and whistles guy either but I can't afford a GT3.....yet. By bells and whistles I meant more like stiffer chassis, more hp etc. not sound systems, navigation, and seat heaters.

You answered this yourself. There are already cheap versions wether it’s a hot hatch, Miata, brz, Camaro, mustang, used Porsche, BMW, corvette, etc. why would I want a “cheap” version? I want all the performance and bells and whistles of whatever car I can afford. For me that's a 996 turbo with 37,000 miles and the…

I love these but there’s just something wrong with paying 200k for all that great ford diesel reliability. Yep, just what I want, to be in Outer Mongolia relying on a power stroke.

The upscale baby boomers are driving around in 43 foot Monaccos with a Mustang convertible GT being towed behind.

I’m a bit of Ford guy but paying a premium for something to have the Ford name on it for no real reason other than I can wrap it all up nicely in ford credit loan is not a compelling reason for me to pay for that premium.

Okay.
