    Would You Buy a 2024 Raptor Without Sunroof?

    I would love to find one without a moonroof. Mine has broken twice.

    West Coast / CA prices

    I live in So. Cal, currently own a 17 and am looking to upgrade. I walked into the local Ford dealer (10 minute drive so can't hurt) and offered MSRP. They didn't even ask for my number when I left. I called 3 dealers in TN (my mom lives there so I have to go see her anyways every now and...

    Trying so hard to like the Gen 3 but.....

    I agree with original post. I’m not a fan of the new looks. Of course in 2 years I wouldn’t be surprised if I get over this and have the V8. I think the Gen 2 looks great. Yes the Gen 3 is an overall better truck but no way I’ll upgrade for the same amount of cylinders and a less attractive...

    All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Debut Feb. 3

    Funny how the R in the GT350R and now the Raptor R didn’t even originate from Ford. It was just a bunch of Shelby enthusiasts way back in the day referring to the GT350 competition models.

    Lot of hate from the Tundra forums!!

    I don't know much about Tundras but the Tacomas are awesome. They only run about 400K miles before they need anything. They are the perfect vehicle for young kids going to school who can't afford unreliable transportation and need to haul around mountain bikes and surfboards. That being said...

    When the big one hits So. Cal a lot of people are going to wish they had half a tank.

    2019 Info

    My gardeners cousin knows this guy who used to know a guy who applied for a job at Ford. He said the V8 is a 100 percent sure thing as a mid year 2019 release. The seats are hideous. I hope it’s just the picture (doubt it though) The shocks should be awesome. I would love to put them...

    Gen 2 VS Gen 1 My Experience/Opinion

    No way could a Raptor beat a 428 CJ, or at least thats what I try to tell myself but yea I know its true. Great job on keeping that car for so long. I have a 66 GT350 (6S1117) and yes the Raptor will kill it. Ive driven both generations and to keep it brief I had a major hangup (beyond...

    License plate ideas...

    Yea, they can be abut toolish. Often, I will cancel after a year, and keep one plate as garage art. 3MTA3, would never fly here and even if it did I'm sure it would not be available. Seinfeld paid some insane amount of money to get the plate PORSCHE

    License plate ideas...

    I tried to get IRVIN88 but it got shot down by the DMV for gang affiliation. I was actually surprised and a little impressed they caught that even though that was not my intention. Ended up getting A17RPTR. I kinda like the look that most people won't recognize it as a personalized plate.

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    I got mine at MSRP from Autonation Ford in Tustin. it was a in August and it was a 17. Two friends of mine just bought them. They searched high and low for MSRP with no luck. They both ended up paying 3k over. One from Galpin and one from somewhere in Bakersfield. By the time you end up missing...

    Why No ford raptors in LA

    Seriously? There are 4 in my neighborhood all within 1 mile of my house. They are absolutely all over the place. Car guys joke about how many you see out here. I see 5 a day and do not have a long commute. I initially thought you meant no Raptors in Louisiana. 2 friends of mine just...

    Would you still buy a new 2017?

    Did you try Autonation Ford in Tustin. As I said they did sell me one (17 in Aug) at MSRP. Absolutely zero games as well.

    Would you still buy a new 2017?

    Yea that new GT350 is just phenomenal. I have a much older one. A lot slower than yours (as well as slower than my Raptor) but still very cool.
