Never will be a trophy truck. It is already a bang up prerunner. Id say full prerunner comes when the frame behind the cab comes off and a 4 link goes in. Best to start with a wrecked f150 at that point though.

Well either way with a spring under kit or a 4 link set up the Raptor is the only way to start the build. Most have said just start with a F150 but you forget what makes the Raptor so good to begun with. So here is a list.

1. 6.2 letter motor. vroom vroom
2. Off road mode. :peace:
3. Traction control options.
4. Heavy duty construction of the cab.
5. Steering rack is awesome.
6. Elct gear shifting.
7. Down Hill Mode. if you use it.
8. 4:10 gearing stock
9 WARRANTEE :waytogo:

Now when it come to upgrading to long travel kits and caging the entire truck with 4 link system or spring under the cost is about the same BUT with a F150 you still have to upgrade the motor, trans, gears and lot of other stock items that you would not have to touch on a Raptor. So with that said the factory warrantee on motor trans and most of the entire truck in still fine. The Raptor is also a new truck so give it a few years and you can pick one up for the price of a old F150 and then do all the mods. Their is a reason why most all the big race teams are now using Raptors to pre run in instead of the big $$$$ pre runners.... Trey no punt intended on you but I have crossed this bridge about 20 so far. We currently have deposits to start building 5 full trucks some with 4 link and some with under spring rears. 3 of them are for off road racers who are tires of the cost of their pre runners.

O yea the cost:
Raptor $45,000.00 with power warrantee.
Upgrades on a full build 15k to 50k depending how much pimp gucci goodies you want....
