Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

[MJK]

This is my Second raptor.

First one (gen 2) had cam phasers, seats and steering wheel elements went out, tailgate steps broke, sunroof busted, both wiper nozzles stopped working.

Second raptor with 1K total miles driven thus far and door keypad busted, had the weird audio boom from the B&O and now, this…

Vent over. I don’t want any other truck.

It seems like you’ve had disproportionately bad luck, which is unfortunate. I had the same experience with Jeep and Dodge (Ram) over the years. All my Fords have been much more solid.

The more volume of something you produce, the more issues will exist statistically.

I’ll take it off your hands for $4500.00 and do my best to rehab it with non POS parts.
DM me and I’ll come pick it up.

name the perfect brand of vehicle or perfect model or any machine that doesn’t break.

If we are talking RVs… yeah they are universally garbage quality.

Statistically the top auto manufacturers produce pretty darn good machines. Except for chevy. Chevy sucks.

Apparently you've never owned an exotic. Or a European luxury car. These trucks are rock solid comparably. I've seen a lot of this complaining lately now that these trucks have become so expensive. Even more-so with the TRX guys. ("I paid $100,000 for this truck and it's a *************!")

The sad story is, these are all $30-40k vehicles and built as such. Our problem is our money isn't worth half of what it used to be even a few decades ago.

It's a truck. It's meant to work and get beat on. Stuff will fall off, crack, and break. If it falls off, just think of it as weight savings.

Well said.

I do own a supercar (2021 R8 performance) and Merc 63S. Flawless cars.

My 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro needed valves and head replacement at 26k and O2 sensors replaced at 46k. Stuff happens.

I don't think a R8 is a supercar. I know a S63 isn't. Unless the needle has moved. Supercars are the higher end Ferrari, Lamborghini, top shelf Porsche, Bugatti, etc.
