    What makes a Raptor a Raptor?

    I've had Ford F150's for the past ten years, when they were regular trucks no-one ever came up to me and said "wow! nice truck!" At least once a week since buying the Raptor someone comments on what a great looking truck it is. It's all about the Ego!

    Dumb question about the amber lights

I usually throw my cap over thesensor and they stay on all the time, that's in Canada... may be different in the US. if you...

    Anyone imported a new raptor to Canada? Experiences ?

    I fully understand why Canadian dealers are pissed... No, I'm not a dealer but I have worked at dealerships and my son is a Ford Service manager, did you know that Ford penalises dealerships for doing to much warranty work? Asking a dealer to take on that burden when they didn't even get the...

    Just an Idea....

    Here's an idea... why doesn't FRF make an album each month of all of the pictures sent in for Raptor of the month and other contests, so that we don't have to page down through all of the chit chat, I love to see the pics of other Raptors owners but sometimes the chatter is a pain in the ass.
