GEN 2 Should Ford build an F250 Raptor?

Toadster · Nov 17, 2016

A big brother to the raptor - maybe the Raptor-D (for diesel)

500Hp / 1100 ft-lbs with towing capacity > 14k

Suspension would be interesting on a beast like that though...

Thoughts?

I dont think that makes much sense. Better to build a reliable competitor to the Power Wagon instead, more trail oriented then hi speed.

Power wagon off-road competitor? Isn't the PW more of a 1/4 mile truck?

Ford won't ever build it. But there are vendors that are and will. They are plugging into the 8 cylinder need. I think it's a great answer to the V6 conundrum. Those big trucks sure make an interesting off road truck. The purists won't like them, but I do.....

I don't see it happening. To many contradictions. Your'e looking for a Clydesdale that can run like a quarter horse. Towing
14 K requires much different capabilities than running thru the desert at high speeds.
Now, if big towing isn't a requirement, a long travel F-250 would be possible- just look at the big trucks that run the Dakar.

It would be cool for us guys who like to tow and like diesels as well.

In the meantime, check out the Carli systems for a Superduty, you can build your own.

I like Rogue's Super Duty better. May not be a Raptor look a like, but one hell of a rig.....
