Jamal explains why the Gen II is better than the Gen I.

The only contrary I've read is that the ecoboost isn't a real engine. Guys will just drive them to Target, Walmart, Starbucks, the V8 is better etc.....

Actually, @Raptizzle uses his Gen1 as a Starbucks Stomper, so... there's that.

True story

We certainly did until this garbage gen 2 came around

So this board had a relationship of some sort with Ford, they heard a few suggestions, then they went in a completely different direction? Is that why there's so much hatred toward the all new military grade Gen II Raptor? You guys don't feel valued by Ford. I'm sorry just trying to understand all of this.

LOL, "military grade Raptor"... guess Ford won't have to worry about civilian sales as they'll all be going overseas. Are they IED-proof?

Food for thought:


"In both test scenarios, the aluminum F-150 had more extensive damage than the steel model," researchers said.

Total repair costs were 26 percent higher for the aluminum model, the IIHS calculates.

Extra time needed to make repairs to front-end damage, and higher parts cost for the rear damage, accounted for the increase.

Not military grade.

But Pepsi said their aluminum is military grade, I read it online somewhere.

I thought "military grade" just meant it was from the lowest bidder
