I can't decide if I want a screw or a scab for the new truck. Please list your pros and cons of both to help me come to a conclusion! Going to be telling the dealer what I want this week
Screw or Scab??? help fast!

Scabs are faster! I think this a completely personal choice, I just like the look of a scab, more sporty. Do you have kids or big friends? Maybe a screw us for you. Off road, although guys will not claim this to be true, its easier to high center a screw but probably not that much easier. Screws are only 10'' longer than scabs I believe. Bigger gas tank in screw (10gal) so that may be a plus, but i spend less time filling... Your choice
The towing capacity is more too on a screw, not sure exact number, maybe you need that extra bit? I think scabs just look more aggressive.

Oh whichever one you chose, it will look great in my shop getting a perch adjustment!

No kids, just passenger space is the only space I worry about. The back seat isn't very big in the scab although I do like the look of it. I just don't want the screw to look too long for the raptors sporty look.
If you got some Hoss buddies, you might need the screw! But otherwise I never have a problem with people in The back, but I'm not the one back there!
well i got kids..... i ordered a crew. pismo/tahoe trips with the wife and 2 kids and a TON of crap from circus circus, there was no doubt i need it......

I think the scabs look more proportionate in the length width height

i guess the questions to ask, are, how is the girlfriend situation? and how long you plan on keeping the truck?
reason being........ if you have a girlfriend who wants to get married soon and have kids, then you will need a bigger vehicle. or trade in for a newer one when the time comes. but if you plan on keeping it a long time then you should probably go sit in a few to determine whats right for you. either way i think the truck looks awesome, but do you go by looks or functionality?

I wouldn't go as far as to say a scab is less functional than a screw. Other than some leg room in the rear and a smaller fuel tank , either model has about 2/3 the towing capacity as the equivalent f150. So the Raptor as a whole is less functional as a "truck " than an f150, to say the scab is even less than a screw is reaching.
a car seat in the back of a crew is much easier to access than a scab. especially a rear facing one

I have a wife and 2 kids in car seats, and we fit just fine in the Scab. Anything that doesn't fit goes in the bed. Have you sat in the back seat of a Screw? I'm 6'2" and feel small back there - literally a foot between my knees and the front seat. If you're planning on hulk hogan size kids, are car pooling a "work crew", or are a rancher you will need the Screw. You should probably just get which ever one appeals to you and the details will sort themselves out along the way. Scabs are faster... Especially black ones!
