Has anyone seen one of these in person?

Has anyone here actually seen one of these beast in person? I like my Raptor but not being able to pull a larger trailer and the longevity of a diesel is starting to wear on me. Thinking this might be the best of both worlds in a way. GEN2 look with the power of a F250. Interested in hearing everyone's thoughts.

Looks cool, expensive though...

A big 250 is heavy...

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Looks bad ass but not too sure how well it will tow with 46’s. I saw a few videos on YouTube last year I think. He was calling it the mega raptor at that time.



Edit: found it, two years ago...

Should be ok with those tires. They are pretty stout and a heavy ply. Really thinking on building one of these and going all out on the motor and suspension.

I am still drooling over it but definitely more of a show truck than an everyday driver. Wicked cool though!!

Bad to the bone!

That was my first thought, but I will be getting a car soon for my daily driving (city driving). This would be used for highway and offroad (oilfield lease roads). I seem to be racking up the miles on my Raptor fairly quick the past few months because of all the highway driving out to locations. Will have to see what the guys that build these say later today.

The website says $42k for base conversion - which I supposed isn't all that bad. I would figure a nice example of one of those Super Dutys required to convert could be had for $35k ish with the new body style out. Figure $80k and you have something extremely cool and unique and you most likely wont see another one! I wonder how the highway manners are with those massive tires are...one of the conversion questions is "How often do you exceed 60 mph?" I would keep it as close to prerunner style as possible as opposed to biggest lift/biggest tires. That is a mean machine to see coming down the road

The conversion they do is pretty detailed and tough, not cheap flimsy parts. The only thing I need to do is supply the base truck to build from, which I am in the works on getting. As for all the upgrades I will definitely be going with King and Coilovers and having air bags on the rear for heavy hauling. I have my guys starting to look into everything today. They are telling me the speeds up to 80mph are OK. Goodyear makes a tire that can handle higher speeds and is good to 100mph, just not as heavy ply.

As for the stance I want to keep it leveled and not too high, wife complains if she has to climb in. Building the motor on this one should be fun. Last F250 I had we TT it. Made loads of power with it.

I have seen a scab f250r here in tucson hauling a trailer. That thing looks bad ass. My Raptor looked so punnie next to this monster.
