Own a pretty healthy PreRunner, but I've been looking at the Raptor. To me it is not an every day cruiser for my contruction business because of the consumables such as gas and tires

My only wish is that it would tow more and Ford would consider an EcoBoost in at least the SCab version, I'd be all over it, and so would 1000's of others. For now I will have to satisfy myself with a 2011 Screw FX4 with EB which I love very much ........for now.


I would definitely say this thing gets the job done for play in the interim

Nice huck!! Welcome to the forum.

Just wonder if anyone has tried real off road race tires like 35 x 12.5 Baja TA's on their Raptors? I swear by them on my prerunner

They are about 450 apiece now I think I paid 380 for mine. Gotta latch on to a race team that has an account, but they are so worth it

LS2 550 horse putting about 420 to the ground. For what I paid though I would have considered a Raptor R (the Ford Racing version). I've wadded that thing up more times than you can count but always been safe. Jumps like crazy---too much fun
