Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to driving a Ford again on American roads. I get back in a few weeks! Hopefully, the truck gets built before the end of July!
So... I'm elated. I just completed my order for a 2017 SCAB. I'm currently stationed oversees and won a 2017 allocation with Military Auto Source (a company that sells cars to oversee service members at reduced prices). After waiting a few months to see forum members and car journalists reviews...
Are you crazy? 1000lbs makes a huge difference in the amount the engine has to work! But that's not even an issue. The issue with poor mileage compared to your JAG is that THIS IS A HUGE TRUCK. It has 10x the amount of drag compared to any low profile car!
Drive the truck, if it wobbles have the dealer try to fix it.... if it still wobbles, take it to discount tire and have the road force thing done.... it's amazing
i've had both gen 1 and numerous chevy trucks. Chevy's quality control is hands down much better. Ford's engineering is better. So buy new expect to take it to the dealer to have weird quirks fixed... but once you get all the qa stuff taken care off, it's going to be amazing. Also, chevy's don't...
I don't have the weight ticket, but with a full tank of gas my 2013 screw weighted 647x lbs with me in it, I Way about 185lbs. So if your screw was 5700 lbs that's Right around 500lbs if you had a full tank. My truck had every option and special edition wheels (which are heavier than stock.) So...
Called about a specific Supercab on their website that was sold out. Got this response:
Sam ,
Good morning! Yes we had ten allocations for the Raptor and they we were all sold out but, this Avalanche Grey with the 802 package and tech package crew cab is a sweet order. My guy who gave me...
when i see another raptor I scream "RAPTOR" and get 5 points... and wave to them. Sometimes i get a wave, sometimes I don't. My family plays a game when we drive together, when you see a jeep you call out jeep for 1 point, see and raptor and call out RAPTOR of 5 points, and a NISSAN GTR for 50...
Speed ratings factor in many things for the tires. How long they can travel at that speed before they get too hot and pose a risk of blowing out. How much weight they are rated for at that speed.
These tires probably can go upwards of 140-150 mph with a empty truck for like 5 minutes before...
My reasons i'm not ordering a moon roof.
1. less weight
2. no chance of a leak in the middle of the roof (either new or 5 years down the road.)
3. It frees up like 3 inches of headroom.
4. I never would use it
Maybe I'm old school, but i think moon roofs are dumb. My gen 1 raptor came...
I've sent an official letter to Ford once about their quality control. Out of the American market ford has some of the best engineered trucks and vehicles, but the QC for all their vehicles is so bad. I had a motor blow up after taking delivery of a 2012 mustang 5.0 and I wrote to them about it...
I know the 2017's are just arriving, but is it too early to order a 2018? lol. Deployed until mid summer and want to get my 2018 order in early. Has anyone has success at getting near invoice with the 2017's?
