I think the challenge there is that low base price on the RHO is not apples to apples equipment wise with the raptor. It exists solely for the headlines ram wanted to grab "more power less price", to meet roughly the 801a raptor equipment the RHO customer has to opt for a pricy (10k!) option...

I dont see any real reaction from Ford until the gen 4, and I dont think the RHO is going to affect their plans by much. I think about it this way across a few dimensions 1) ford is selling all the raptors they can build. The trucks are selling at ~MSRP, ford hasn't had to sniff a factory...

It’s not just gas it’s brakes too. I posted in another thread on this topic. We asked the instructors at assault and the answer was basically. It’s fine to jump in 4wd so long as no outside stress is on the driveline during landing. Throttle or brakes, basically the truck needs to equalize. At...

Probably co-launch the size with the gen 4 raptor

I already have a deposit in for the Raptor Mustang mach-e

i didnt realize chatgpt had an opinion....

is askjeeves not an option anymore?

Ford and fox do have a “technology demonstrator” built by rtr which is one off lightning with custom raptor running gear. Obv the next raptor isn’t going to be full electric but clearly they are studying how to build shocks to handle battery weight and still do raptor stuff. I expect them to...

First thing I would try is just a key cycle. The time mine stopped at the next stop light turned truck off, cracked door to shut it down, truck back on and it was fine.

yup, the inability to calibrate an opinion to the bigger picture Ford: makes minor change to the headlight, barely different Any Car Forum: I HATE this they RUINED it, barf emoji. + [INSERT reference to stereotypical design language from different brand/continent] its either exactly perfect...

to be fair (poor word choice) the intro of a new model/refresh on a limited prod vehicle is typically where ADMs live, gouging the folks that "gotta have the first one off the truck" its when they last deep into the model cycle that we know something is wrong with the supply/demand greed pricing...

Kinda... depends on the semantics your dealer is using Officially an accepted order means it doesnt have any errors in it. Dealers can take as many as they want. the key dependency is if the dealer has an allocation. When the allocation comes up Ford will directly reach out to the dealer and...

if you can get them to give you the rail car number you can call the rail companies own tracking hotline and get the exact location. i tend to believe the farthest along piece of information you can get. Think about it like this, tracking systems can take hours or days to run data refresh but...

You will probably have better luck buying them off a 37 or R owner who went to custom wheels…. (23 37 and R shared the same wheels)

From a pure technology standpoint, being able to control a second dimension of the suspension, yes objectively better. How much real world difference it makes across use cases TBD, but it will make some level of difference across all of them. For me the baseline assumption has to be that...
