    Two New "Rules"

    Shackles are a must have. Plan on two shackles: one for your end, the other for the victim. OK, I will ask how all this newfound knowlege came about- lets have the details..Pics will be even better!

    One Mazda RX8 Got Traded In Today

    Great story, you know it stings when you get beat by something that has tires taller than your car.

    Raptor Run Northern or Central California Style?

    I went to LaGrange with my ATV club. Not a lot there & wasnt worth driving from Sacramento. 126 Acres gets used up real fast. Prior to moving to NV I lived in Sac for 26 years, 12 years of which were spent on an ATV so I have a pretty good idea of whats there & most of it is tight forest...

    How to increase gas mileage

    To get 20 MPG from a Raptor you need to get an exemption from the laws of physics.

    Border Patrol Raptor

    I had read somewhere that Federal purchasing requirements had to do with the "no leather" thing. As a tax payer- I dont care if you guys have leather, your job is tough enough. It's congress that needs to have things prohibited.

    Telling the difference between 2010 6.2 and 5.4

    So that's what that is- I thought it was for the hernia because of that overweight hunk of iron up front.

    Shipping of my Raptor!

    Shipping is nuts. Mine came right thru my town on the train, went down to Cali then loaded on a truck, back up the hill to my dealer. Yes, the wait really sucks.

    Order or Wait

    The dealer sounds like they are slightly out of touch (62K ???), so I wouldnt hold much hope in their being reasonable with the price when ordering, but who knows. I would search various dealer's inventory & start sending E mails. Nothing better than a road trip home in your new Raptor!

    Telling the difference between 2010 6.2 and 5.4

    Simple, if it's sitting at a gas station or being followed by a tanker truck- it's a 6.2.

    Insurance

    Great info and it explains why I (and probably most '10 owners) didnt see much of an increase (if any at all). unless you tell them or bring it up, they dont know it's anything other than a F-150. Looks like the '11 guys have no choice- it's right there in the VIN.

    Burning smell after Off roading

    Nope, nothin like that-unless I use the hill descent.

    What has SDHQ been up to??

    Based on that one shot of your shop it looks like you guys need to talk to a commercial real estate agent & get more space. Please-more details.

    Raptor/limited

    If I lived in RI, I would buy the Limited. Or, you could buy the Raptor, find out that it's not all that useful in RI and let some one out west here have a good deal on a used Raptor.

    Toyota Pickup Trucks Top J.D. Power Dependability Study

    The biggest problem is that in the 1970's Detroit did not produce the best vehicles. And that legacy keeps hanging on. This isnt to say the Japanese cars were perfect. I had a 1977 Toyota rust - and I lived in CA!!. Nowadays, I would put any American car up against anyone else- including the...

    Flogging the Rental F-150 4x4 in Nevada

    Well, I am from up north (countryside is about the same), but thanks for visiting our fair state and spending some money.

    Guess what the "Least Efficient Truck" is...

    My guess is that Ford only worried about the aerodynamics up to 70 +/-, after that it probably has some dirty air problems that cause drag. And that 70 to 72 thing is a fluke- not in your measurements, but something changes aerodynamically for that air speed & then goes back to crap at 73...

    Raptor for the Wife's daily driver??

    The track is 7" wider. As long as she is "aware" then she will do fine. Mine gets out of her Cherokee & into the Raptor without any problem. But..she drove an F350 CC dually for about 6 years, so she knows about w-i-d-e vehicle

    Guess what the "Least Efficient Truck" is...

    Yeah, you run over 70 and you lose about 2-3 MPG. My 08 F-150 was the same way. Running 75-80 costs ya.

    A DUMBASS AND HIS 1st OIL CHANGE!

    That is exactly right, and it drags the whole automotive industry down with it.
