    Raptor w/ecoboost MPG?

    I don't care for the feel of the EcoBoost down low. I test drove one last summer along with a 5.0 F150 and while on paper (dyno graphs) the eco looks to be a ton better I actually preferred the feel of the 5.0. Now the 5.0 was a King Ranch vs. some lower level with the eco boost but that put...

    Color observation

    I like black in both, but refuse to give in and accept that amount of work again for cleaning. I like all of them in the scab but find myself drawn to the white and silver in pictures on the screw......yet I want the blue in SCREW - WTF is wrong with me. It's a color why do I care so much.

    Color observation

    Ok - maybe I drank too much rum but it seems that the SCREW looks leaner in the white and silver than it does in blue? I'm not sure why??? I like/want to go with black but I know the effort I put into my GT500 and my "crappy jeep" both of which are black and neither of which will be traded...

    Update on my 2012 order

    present :) I have not ordered yet. Have to get through tax season first which is a painful time for me. By then the holds will be gone though :waytogo:

    Front Camera Findings

    Will the camera view be itruded upon if there is a light bar or is it high enough and looking out enough that it won't be an issue? I know nobody has one yet but we know where it will be monuted, how far out & up are the lights on the lightbars?

    Black or Silver?

    I wrestle the color question all the time too. Black is IMO the best looking when clean. I ruled it out because my GT500 is black and that's enough work. Silver and white I like but am not sure which I like better....It depends on the day. Blue is the color of choice for me at this...

    Doug's Headers DEC300A-1 - Doug's Electric Exhaust Cutouts

    I don't know this company either but I have seen siilar set ups from others with good reviews. I have the DMH on my GT500 which I have been happy with. I did the low profile version (oval shape that welds onto the X pipe) because my car sits so low. Not an issue with the Raptor so I would not...

    Went to the dealer today...

    I would agree, but because I am there and friendly with so many of them I want to give them the option so there are no hard feelings if/when I drive up in a Raptor. I did the same thing with my GT500 but bought it from a dealer in OH that wanted to make the deal work for me and gave a good...

    Went to the dealer today...

    I went to the dealer by my house today. I like the lady there that I have bough a couple of cars fram and my neighbors have bought at least 4 from her. She knows her stuff and is not pressure and actually called and let me order the first screw they got last year but I was not in a position to...

    Problem with SCT X3 Tuner

    Glad it seems to have worked out in the end but what a PITA!. I've been through a few tunes as I have heavily modded my GT500. I have about 900hp now and my tune is from Jon Lund at Lund Racing. He's and SCT guy too and really good to work with. I expect he has a Raptor tune by now but I...

    race Red?

    This would be a problem. I love the color here but want the blue interior - too bad there isn't a color match for this if it is the color.

    2012 Raptor commercial

    I think (and may be mistaken) that the new hood graphic does not have "RAPTOR" in the body color as a cut out in the sticker but rather is printed in black on the sticker. Probably easier to make and install to be honest bit I like the version where the body color pops through the black...

    Review of the Magnaflow #15588 cat-back exhaust kit

    I have magna flow on my Jeep and have had it on my GT500. I love the look and sound. My only complaint is that the rear hanger/clamp on the Jeep rusted FAST. Less than a year and currently is being supported by a scientific method of coat hanger bending.

    Sad Day Considering Selling for right price

    Interesting fact. I would bet that is the 86-91 VW Westy Syncro. It is one of the ugliest things ever to hit the road with little more than a twisted rubber band powering it but it's a full camper (pop top, seats fold into bet & a top bed, gas range, sink, fridge etc.) I actually love them as...

    2012 Raptor commercial

    Good God I almost had a happy ending. Damn steering wheel center line still Orange but I'm getting over it. Not sold on the bed graphics and still leaning to the 10-11 hood graphics too but outside of that it's awfully hard to hold out on ordering. Still love the Blue interior.:drool:

    2012 Raptor pictures

    Thanks for that link. I'll give the rims a :waytogo: I can't say I like them better than the others but I like them as much - it is now a non-issue. I actually thing the stickers look OK up close too but I feel like it is missing something still (at least the bed stickers). I think I...

    2012 Raptor pictures

    I dig the interior! Will most definately select this on any color not Red. Rims I am still deciding on - I do like this pic a lot better than the others but I am still not sure I like them better than the old ones. I prefer the old stickers all the way around. I'm struggling with any...

    Law Enforcement-Fire-Military Members

    Former Fire Fighter (Forest Fire) and current K-9 SAR (Search and Rescue) if you chose to count this. For my level it would be more Law Enforcement than Mlitary at this time. Regardless thanks to all of you in both areas.

    Lurked for a while - just joined 9-29-11

    Primary home is in IN and preferred home is in MI but where it would not work for the kids and school. It would how ever work very well for a Raptor. The dogs, kids, and I love it there - the wife may be a little too far removed from shopping but she seems to be coming around now that we...

    Lurked for a while - just joined 9-29-11

    I've been reading through a number of threads and decided to join. I'm pretty selective on forums but it seems like a good crowd here. I'll likely not post too often so this will likely be one of my more wordy posts, but look forward to learning more and appreciate the open sharing here...
