i just read this on another forum...whats killing me is that they go on with "i can get such and such lift kit, with such and such locking rear diff...yadda yadda yadda"

I honestly dont even see a point for an FX4 unless you want a toy hauler...besides that, there is no comparison JMHO

I owned an FX4 and it was nothing more than an F150 with skid plates and stickers... by the time you add what you need to, to a FX4, you will be way over the cost of a Raptor and still have half the truck and looks of a Raptor... these are guys who own a FX4 and cant afford a Raptor!

Yeah I have a few guys at my work with FX4's and they can't hang with the Raptors, even with lifts/tires.

Anybody can say "i can do such and such blah blah blah"

Tell them to do it. Most people are full of hot air and most are jealous because they can't afford this truck or too stupid to understand the engineering that went into it.

I can put wheels on a real brown nasty **** and throw a 5.0 badge on it but it doesn't make it a Mustang. It's the same thought process here.

I traded in my Raptor today for a Fiesta. With all the money left over I can buy coilovers, widen the track, give it 30" of travel, put a 5.0 crate engine in w/ all wheel drive and smoke a Raptor!! Ya probably not...but if I get an FX4 Fiesta all bets are off!!!
