Face ripped off in Abu Dhabi/Dubai...Is it worth it?

[Bink1109]

Hey all!

I have finally decided that I am going to pick up a Raptor in the next few months and I was stoked...until I went to get quoted at the dealer, that is.

They only have fully loaded out here in the UAE, and want $72k for it! I know that new vehicles are much more expensive over here, but is this difference worth it? The affordability is there, but I want some opinions from hardcore owners first.

I would get the screw and it will be off road way more often then it will be on the streets. Thanks in advance for the help.

It's my understanding that you have extremely strict laws there on modifying vehicles. If my understanding is correct, then I believe that makes this truck even more worth it in you case.

Fully loaded is $66,000.00 in Canada, so that's not that bad for having it imported all the way to the UAE

You nailed it, Maxx. They just passed a law exclusively for the raptor. I have 3 4x4s and cannot mod them much at all.

well since that's the case, I think you should most definitely get the Raptor!

Ya and make it the supercharged with bead-locks in that case.

Ha! Sounds like a plan! How well do superchargers hold up in the sand lands?

 

[Maxx2893]

I wouldn't suggest you supercharge it.

From everything that I have seen and read, a supercharger/turbo isn't really necessary for this rig. At least not at first!
