    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Post some pics of your off-road adventures and don’t forget the Starbucks gravel parking lot! Now just for a little trivia, do you know Interstate Highways are required to have at least 8’ wide traffic lanes. Maybe if you sprinkle some cat litter on a Highway, you can place the Raptor in off...

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    That makes sense. I know the hybrid adds 1500 pounds to the f150 and I also know the Raptors curb weight is about 800 pounds more than the lariat, which probably is the reason the lariat feels just as fast, is easier to park and more nimble on the street. I’m not a physics expert, but 800 Pounds...

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Ok, the Raptor‘s high output is 450 HP, the engine in the Lariat is 430, I stand corrected! I’m sure you must understand the term marketing. Call it high output, call it an F35, I was told it’s the same engine, but tuned differently.

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Post some videos of your off road adventures! I have actually taken mine to Moab, twice and I didn’t jump boulders. I basically drove my 90k truck on a dirt road, but that is just me. I certainly didn’t mean to offend you or anyone else. I simply expressed an opinion.

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Well last week my wife and I drove both trucks both directions Donner Pass and using the sport mode on each, both performed exceptionally well. The Raptor has 50 additional HP and the exact same engine as the Lariat. The next day we went over Kingbury Grade with both trucks full of furniture...

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Okay….I have owned all three generations and still have a Gen 3….37. That said, Raptors are a waste of money. Yes, looking back, I bought it for image, like 99% of owners, I don’t Baja it, the truck makes owners feel good about themselves.It is like a boob job, looks good with clothes, but...

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    I wouldn’t say Raptor’s are POS. They look cool and I assume they make owners feel cool. However, I just bought my wife a Ford lariat with the sport and black package and IMO it is just as cool, but it is a real truck. It can do truck stuff! It has 400 HP, which is 50 less than the Raptor and it...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I traded my 2019 Raptor for a 2023 Lariat and I may do the same with my 2021 37!

    WANTED-CODE ORANGE 37 BLUE RECARO

    I have a 2021 orange 37 with less than 14000 miles. It has an Ravelco installed, I keep the shell. I need 76 k for a straight trade for another truck. Two dealers are working on the numbers as I type.

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    If you look at the numbers, it is the most popular thread on this forum and I assume it is because most people want to avoid a messy situation. However I have a super easy solution for you, don’t read it!

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I never thought of a tire over heating due to a load, but it makes perfect sense. I know from collision investigation classes, depending on tire type, coefficent of friction of the patch actually in contact with the pavement plays a huge roll in stopping ability and similar to wet conditions...

    I never noticed that, but I will look the next time I see one. Thanks!

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I have read that several times during the past few days, but I thought you and I agreed Ford marketing is deceitful at best. Trust me, I had no plan to buy another truck, however, the more I read, the more I did the math and the conversation with a collision reconstruction expert, I saw no other...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    When you said substantially stronger, do you mean the gear is thicker and physically stronger, it can turn more forcefully, or both.? Why are smaller tires better than larger tires? I don’t understand your example using a semi, as you said, they have huge tires, so I would think big tires are...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    Just take a screen shot of everything that comes standard with the max package, then another screen shot of fords website citing Raptor specs. Post both side by side. Now you say Raptors axle ratios are better for towing, according to whom? I have attached many links that regarding required...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    As you previously wrote, a WDH and/or airbags do not increase the payload capacity. However you never answered my question, what exactly does the Raptor have that makes you think it is equipped with the max tow package? Provide a link, or better yet, a side by side comparison, via screen shot...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I’m not a Ford guru by any stretch, however it is my understanding that the max tow package has slightly different axle ratios than the Raptor, but I don’t know what an axle ratio even means. I have also read and been told that the max tow package also includes everything in the regular tow...

    Tow capacity of a 2020

    I am not getting in a sword fight and I know zero about racing, but I have 2000 hours of formAl education in traffic collision investigation and personally investigated 1000’s of accidents. Obviously I cannot go into physics, but a tire that is cupped or not balanced will not rotate as designed...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    i don’t care who tows what, I was just attempting to pass along info I learned. Having said that, I just assume if Raptor had everything in a max tow package, it would be listed on the sticker. Seriously you can pull a house for all I care. Having said that, if something bad happened...

    Tow capacity of a 2020

    It’s been my experience as a 30 CHP Officer, the opposite is true. I’ve seen it more times than I can remember. Normally if lug nuts are loose enough they will become detached from the lug, which will cause the wheel to briefly violently wobble before the wheel totally breaks off. The lugs that...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    You are 100% wrong with regard to the max tow package, but I will not debate you. I’ve owned Gen 1, Gen 2 and 3 and although I don’t understand the mechanics of either, I can read the difference between max tow and Raptor. I can also afford to purchase pretty much any vehicle. Having said that...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    The payload on the Lariat is 1705, 300 pounds more than my 2021 Raptor and almost 500 pounds more than the 2019 Raptor I traded today. The Lariat drives very nice and feels much lighter than the Raptor, seems quieter as well. Acceleration is very close. I told the dealership to find another...
