I immediately thought the same thing, from the front I think you could make an argument the Gen3 is a little better looking w/ the more distinct lighting/grill, but I kinda prefer the more “tucked in” style of the gen2 skid plate/bumper, but from the rear? No contest the gen2 looks better, from...
These engines can absolutely handle the extra grunt, they have forged internals, Ford themselves tweaked the factory tune from the gen2 to Gen3 to the point where they’re dynoing more TQ @ the wheels then they’re rated @ the crank lol (goosetuned showed 518rwtq on factory tune running 91 octane)...
I’m not a big Toyota fan, although they have made some great vehicles here & there over the years….when they debuted the new “Supra”
That they were too cowardly to R&D on their own, almost admitting to the world they’re not confident enough in their engineering team
To produce a clean slate new...
My wife wants that MDX type-S when it’s time to replace her current 2019 MDX, hope the prides cool off by then but you’re not the first person I’ve heard say they are asking over MSRP for it….it’s also a big upcharge over a standard MDX to begin w/….but I’m sure the engines a gem
I guess we’re talking different things, from a dig off the line I imagine you must be right, but I’m talking more from a highway roll type pull, 0-60 these raptors are quick but from 50-100 seem to be where they impress (at least for me)
Lol- funny but this is another reason I’m in another gen2 ttV6 raptor, I’m running a 93 octane Gearhead tune, but I have a 718whp C5Z & I’ve driven lots of fast stuff, from a dig my tuned gen2 slowly walked my buddy’s X5M, and from a roll? There’s no reason a vehicle this big should pull like...
Awesome congrats man!!!! Btw- that nardo grey Porsche makes is what turned me on to that type of color on a vehicle, which is why my 2020 Rappy is LF!!
I think Audi makes a similar color as well….but something about it isn’t as cool looking as the nardo
Is the 37” truck noticeably sluggish...
Yeah but…..doesn’t change that it’s a Raptor wannabe.
Personally my takeaway w/ it was such (& last time I was truck shopping it was essentially w/ no limit had a $70k ins check after my 2018 Rappy was totaled) - like the hellcat whine, the interior is great/comfy nice materials- the amount of...
The new new GM trucks are interesting, their prior gens were junk Mexican built stop-gap BS (I had 3 of em I should know lol), one thing I am curious about w/ the new Toyota trucks/SUVs….do they still offer the full power sliding rear window? The one that drops down like a regular door window...
Ironically I stopped paying what was left on wife’s grad school loans when Biden got in office & kept hearing the BS about student loan forgiveness….I thought “they may actually do this”…& in between that there was already a hold on the payments & interest due to pandemic, well even though they...
I live in MA 30 mins outside Boston, has been historically true that real estate simply continues to appreciate in this area whether it’s warranted or not. Central/western MA a different story, nothings guaranteed in life but real estate in this area is pretty damn close. I have a lot of equity...
You could’ve just said “because CA” & that’d be enough lol
I agree good to just sit tight w/ what you have right now, although the last big move I may do is pulling some equity outta the house before rates skyrocket, probably wise & probably needs to be done in next month or so
Bingo. Guys that think their Raptors will sell for $125k probably think the stock market only goes up too lol (well…ultimately it does, you just may be dead before you can enjoy it again lol)
Btw- how the hell did you wind up paying $93k for a 2019?!?!
Man I got good deals on both my 2018 &...
I can tell you living in New England the type of off-roading you’d do here - rutted logging roads, choppy grass fields w/ hidden stones/roots, gravel type wash out country roads w/ crater type potholes etc- the extra sidewall cushion of the 37” package & “stronger” shocks >>>>> the extra travel...
I’m pretty sure you should be in fully locked in 4H when doing that kinda stuff, imagine what kinda wear/force is going on as you slide full
Pitch wheel locked opposite direction & the inside front hub momentarily goes from engaged to disengaged back to engaged again….& fo sho that’s happening...
-$10k for the rhino liner on the hood of the most sought after “launch” color lol
$125k? Hahaha more power to ya, who knows you may get it…..but, lil birdy told me chip & other supply chain issues will be mostly rectified by mid Q2
The shear volume of ingot/sheet business im getting into the...
They’re not really hemi engines anymore & im not even a dodge guy but to act like they haven’t built some truly awesome & iconic vehicles over the last 20-30 years is just being ignorant.
They have big balls that’s for sure- to date no domestic competitors have really come up w/ something to...
If you can’t notice a smoother idle, less (no) knocking, & an extra 30whp you should consider driving a non-performance fleet vehicle w/ a base engine b/c the Raptor goes right over your head in terms of appreciation for what it is lol
Can you buy the forged crank/connecting rods from ford parts desk too? How about the larger snails on the HO vs standard 3.5 those come off the shelf too? Bahahahahjahaha
Lol you went through a steering rack & a tranny & you’re still satisfied “it’s pretty stout” Lol- I mean I tend to agree, but that’s some fairly major stuff to blow through….tranny especially
Curious too….thing is if you call deaver directly they won’t necessarily tell you to get any off the shelf pack, seems like getting a “custom” set according to your specific needs is the best bet…..that being said, when the time comes for my shocks to be rebuilt if I plan on keeping the truck I...
