Why can't this shit stop?

Constantly fueling the old vs new debate. Constantly rubbing people's noses in the fact that his truck is one of the early ones to get released.

That's 13-year-old stuff. Seriously, I'm beginning to wonder if this Jake guy is actually old enough to drive. This all comes across like some teenage kid posting about his dad's new truck. Granted, there's a decent list of current owners who are absolutely no better, but adding this much fuel to the fire isn't anything a well adjusted adult would do.

There is/will be a ton of technical know how on this site for owners - I hope that this Jake guy doesn't ever need help from anyone here once he gets his truck. He's definitely on the fast track to getting banned.

Honestly I hope he drives off a cliff in it.

Actually OPEC just created a new agreement to cut oil production. "Some speculators think it may mark the beginning of the end of a two-year glut in the world’s oil markets, during which prices have fallen by half and producers such as Venezuela have come close to collapse

Yea, seen that. Good luck with that OPEC. Every dollar it goes up brings back more US idled capacity while the Suadis make less money by cutting production. You did read the "some speculators think" part, right? You do know Saudi Arabia is issuing debt now? Their cuts will not last. I personally love it- **** them. Let them eat sand. That's where all the ******** that pulled off 9/11 came from.

It's fairly mountainous here, but I never remember getting 16 MPG with my 2012 Raptor. Maybe a couple times under perfect conditions. Over the 25k miles I owned it, I averaged 13.4 MPG.

I am happy about the 2017's improved mileage, but it was not a a huge factor in my decision to order one.

If crash ratings are less than the Gen1's then I bet insurance premiums will be higher for Gen2 owners. When I went to Ford from Dodge, I was surprised how the insurance dropped, ask why at the time, because of crash ratings I was told, safer vehicle.

Why would he need technical help. Daddy will take it to the dealer and pay whatever they want to fix whatever they say it needs. Anything for his special little snowflake.
