I hope you realize the same can be said about a lot of comments made by Gen 2 haters.

The 10 speed tranny is going to suck...how do you know do you have experience with it?

The all new 3.5 EB is going to suck...how do you know do you have one?

The new terrain management system is going to suck...how do you know have you tested it?

None of that is helpful or beneficial.

The list goes on.

The haters (you and others) are going to hate on it and give your opinion and the supporters (me and others) are going to defend it and give our opinions on it. Thats how a debate/argument/discussion works.

Until its out and tested thoroughly the 2017 discussion is going to be an argument.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."


whatever.....

But using nothing but Ford talking points and Forza stats are helpful and beneficial, right? We all know if there are issues Ford will be first one to step up and state so, right?

There are plenty of complaints with the current Ecoboost. I don't have to point out each and every internet article. You can Google it. Will this make the Gen2 bad? How can you say for certain it will make it great?

Horrible comparison because of the vehicle but the Chrysler 9-speed have had their issues. More gears don't automatically make the transmission better. But hey, the 10-50 speed gearboxes we see in Fast & Furious work sick, yo.

You can't completely disable the electronic nannies with the Gen1 Raptors and you believe the more robust Gen2 electronic nannies are a good thing?

Gen1 owners who know how great their Raptor's are and potential Gen2 owners repeating talking points on how great the Gen2 is compared to the Gen1 doesn't fly yet. Sorry if that hurts your feelings and makes you feel like you are being attacked personally or not being accepted here at FRF.

I know you are not here hating on the Gen1 Raptor because that is all you got in your life to get attention. It's just impossible to compare a real vehicle against paper stats.

I don't understand why you girls are still arguing over the Gen 2's, it's all about the 675 hp quad turbo methane injected 2022 Gen 3's that'll be center mounted with 20+ inch's of travel at all 4 corners

These are all "rumors" of course, but I know a guy who meet a guy while getting my oil rotated , so it's gotta be true

Your guy is an idiot. I heard it was 700HP off a 2.0L while getting the brake clutch serviced on my Lexus for good deal @ $299.

Can anyone understand why non owners can even have an opinion about any of this? I mean come on. We got one guy that was even banned for being a problem and another guy who's an import car driver. And both ******* argue about everything!!!

What possibly is the benefit here?

You two take all those good ideas of yours and go start your own forum. I'm sure most of us are getting sick of your non-essential ******** posts about nothing. I don't see either of you posting anywhere except in the 2017 threads. And definitely not anything helpful or beneficial.

So go away. Enjoy your life. Leave us to our forum. I promise if start one, I will NEVER bother you there like you do us, here.....


Another high and mighty Raptor owner who feels entitled to tell non-owners they're not worthy of being here or expressing their opinion.

I have no idea what "qualifies" you (other than your keyboard) to think your opinion matters more than anyone else's here but I'm sure you'll tell us.

I also have no idea what your company does but your holier-than-thou attitude can't be doing you any favors.

I am SOO tempted to play your game and talk about what I've been through as a 2010 Raptor owner, the work I've done on forums (including participating in a new Raptor forum that was folded into this one), organizing Raptor runs, etc., but I'd rather just

Let me set the record straight. I have no problems with the new 2017. If it's what a person wants, then fine with me. I'm sure there will be improvements and shortfalls. Whatever.....

The problem I have is with you and others that only want to start problems with current owners stating their opinion. Remember way back when, when someone started a thread about the 2017 and shared their views? You were immediately on the band wagon to try and tell that person they were wrong and that you magically knew more than they did.

Most of us that have posted disparaging comments on these multiple threads having to do with the Gen 2 aren't attacking the truck itself. They are attacking you and your band of fan boys that have picked up the ******* torch and ran with it.

Who gives two ***** if we don't like it, or don't understand this, or question why they did that. You surely shouldn't. What some of us are sick and tired of is you laying back in the weeds and ambushing someone's opinion when they give it with stupid memes and other typed nonsense. We get it, you are the Wizard of OZ of the forums, but let us have our fun. Because at the end of the day, that's what it all is until the actual truck is released and we get to see it and drive it.

So, nice try taking the high road. But, in my opinion (see what I did there?), you are too late. Everyone has already seen your true colors. You are a keyboard bully and only want to continue to disrupt the normal flow of this forum. We don't care that you used to own a Raptor. That only makes it more comical that you don't get it. We have our opinions. You have yours. You're the one that started telling everyone else that they were wrong.

If you are such an internet wizard, go start a "I HATE EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T SEE IT MY WAY" forum. I'm sure the country is full of those people. Hell, I might even stop in every now and then and see how the other half lives!!!!
