    2014 Roush Raptor Advice Needed

    Paint and Structural Integrity Warning!

    Never thought I’d be writing anything bad about a Raptor, but current owners and those considering one need to be aware of a serious short coming in the structural integrity of your truck and it is NOT COVERED by your warranty (neither the factory paint warranty nor the Premium Care Extended...
