2017 Engine Replacement

[FordTechOne]

Detroit, what a great city. yeah right. If you would like to really compare the Toyota land cruiser to the raptor as far as build quality you are fighting a losing battle. Actually it's a joke. Would you like to talk about recalls and engine failures of the raptor vs the land cruiser. Again another fight you will lose. The raptor is a great truck, but if you want to try to compare it to any of the toyota top line vehicles when it comes to build quality , its a joke. Kind of like comparing the New England Patriots to the Detroit lions.

But, what should we expect coming from Detroit.

Mods...please ban this clown.

He clearly is frustrated with Toyota's rotted out frames, API failures, cam tower leaks, playskool quality interiors, broken camshafts, water pump failures, and the fact that the Tundra, Sequioa, and their "Lexus" (made up brand) equivalents are complete trash.

wow. just f**king wow. I am really glad that there is an ignore feature on this forum.

If a raptor had a price tag of 89K, like the landcruiser, I am 150% certain that the build quality would be commensurate with the price, just like the land cruiser. Take a look at the navigator if you dont believe me. It puts a land cruiser's interior to shame.

And yes, I've owned plenty of them. 40, 45, iron pig, 60, 62, fzj80 and a 90.



and seriously dude. wow are you a special individual.

Trying to compare a navigator to a Land cruiser. LOL. By the way tell that one to anybody who knows about build quality and reliability. Kind of like comparing Tom Brady to matt Stafford. A real Joke.

The exciting 5.7 lasts longer than 22,000 miles. How many 5.7 V-8's have blown up. I bet more GEN. 2 Engines have blown up than the entire life span of the 5.7 which debut in 2007.

The Toyota "Land Cruiser" is an overpriced, antiquated pile of crap. As far as build quality, you must love Playskool plastics in your vehicles with massive panel gaps and non-existent infotainment systems, which amounts to CD player radios from the 90's.

So, what data do you have on build quality kid? The only losing battle is you running your mouth on here about how great a 20 year old Toyota rust bucket is. You are pathetic. Then you call out Detroit, which is where the F-Series is engineered and built? Somebody get this ass clown out of here, dude needs to get out of his parents basement and get a life.

Back on track...

OP, Take the long block...

Try to get an extended warranty for free...

Then drive your truck for the next 6 or 7 years like you said you wanted to do...

And in that time, depreciation won't mean anything anyway...

Apparently you don't understand English. Go do your homework and you will see how bad the GEN. 2'S are depreciating currently. Hold their value better than 90 percent of all vehicles ? really, are you kidding me. Go read KBB, CONSUMER REPORTS, OR CARS.COM and you will see which vehicles are top ten in least depreciation.

OP, apologies for this getting thread-jacked. +1 @ChevTillNow

If Ford comes through with a new motor, long block or whatever, the warranty is “satisfied” right then and there. Nothing else is required of them. That said, the Raptor is sort of a ‘halo’ truck, and is marketed to and built for enthusiasts. If you’re ok with the truck, especially if you’ve put time and effort into mods- lights, suspension, tires, who knows what. If so, then the long block/motor puts you back in --your-- truck, already set up the way you want faster, and with a brand spanking new motor to boot.

poop happens. I lunched a GM 4 banger at redline once, many moons ago, Mr. Piston: Meet the Valve family. Covered under warranty, got it back with a new(?) motor and it felt every bit as good, maybe better. Never had another problem with it.

angle for the extended warranty with Ford C/S if you like the truck. If not, get the repair and trade it!

Good luck either way.
