I remember years ago looking at a Bullitt Mustang when they first came out. Salesman told me "Yeah, it has an independent rear suspension!" I said, "Really? It shouldn't". He insisted, so I lay on the ground and stare at the solid axle, telling him what I'm seeing and he's still telling me it has IRS cause that's what he was told somewhere. Salesmen are just salesmen and don't necessarily care or know about what they're selling.

It could be it was a 37s package with the 3.5. The ding d o n g sales people might have seen "the one with big tires" and thought it was an R.

This is the closest thing to a legitimate reason for them telling you that I've heard. Clever guy, shigman.

So I may add to this thread. Was at a stop light and another raptor pulled up next to me- he asked where I can get the "r" badges (for his truck). I said call ford.
Took off- he probably got the idea after that.
It's modern day humans- just shake your head and move along.

That's normal. Journalism is like teaching that way. The majority end up there because they can't do anything useful. I've never seen a story where I knew the subject matter where one or more major errors weren't made. Often it's completely backwards. Then I read an article where I don't have background and go ... sounds reasonable. LOL
