Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

[Space Ghost]

That makes sense. I know the hybrid adds 1500 pounds to the f150 and I also know the Raptors curb weight is about 800 pounds more than the lariat, which probably is the reason the lariat feels just as fast, is easier to park and more nimble on the street. I’m not a physics expert, but 800 Pounds is a lot of weight. Just for fun, next weekend I will test both trucks in the quarter mile. My gut tells me there will be negligible difference. Just like after I receive the trailer I ordered to tow a UTV (hopefully Friday) , I will see how the tongue of the loaded trailer sits on both trucks, as well as test their hill climbing ability…..as long as the Raptor doesn’t sag. For clarification, I’m not one to punish a 90k Raptor, I bought a Polaris Ranger to punish off road. On a side note, yesterday I took the ranger on some local canal roads filled with low hanging trees, brush and I few very heavy rock areas. Could the Raptor have done it, maybe, but afterward it would cost 1000’s in body repair. However there was a bunch of switchbacks that the Raptor could not negotiate. The Ranger does 70 MPH and is 64” wide, has a very tight turning radius and was made to off road, whereas the almost 8’ wide Raptor is for jumping sand dunes. A 30k Polaris will annihilate a Raptor in an environment where the passages are tight and not a least 8’ wide. My idea of off roading is not an 8’ wide dirt road and I’m new to the off road thing, but I like it soooo much, I just ordered two ATV’s.

Ive had two raptors. Gen2 sunroof blind started to rattle as it went back few years into ownership. Lube fixed that. Otherwise not a single issue. My Gen3 has sliding rear window rattle when music is loud and thats open. I see there is a fix for it. Otherwise, my gen3 has been solid.

The 22 Rubicon I had before my gen3 was at the shop 3 times in one year for death wobble.

My former brand new at the time 2020 Porsche 911 S PDK blew up first month of ownership. No replacement parts at time. Forced buy back. My second 2020 992 S with a 162K price tag was also a buy back 9 months later. Two Porsche 911 buy backs, back to back got me to leave Porsche and go back to BMW.

So far my Ford ownership experience has been good. I would buy again.

dang thats some bad luck. i have heard porsches are reliable but in your case i guess not! sorry to hear. what is going to replace them?

A person walking a 4 ft wide trail surrounding on both sites by mountains will also "annihilate" a Raptor. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Who needs a clock when you have this Cuckoo chiming in with his random theories?

Dude he owns a Lariat--show some respect.

Speaking of nut jobs, where is the OP? Pumped and dumped.

This thread is troll garbage.

Damn.

I am troubled by how this issues seem to be hit or miss. There are folks like myself that have literally had no issues and now my diff pinion took a shit at 159,000. Then you get this unfortunate situation where both of his trucks have lost their pants in the fight. Cheeks out, legs showing, all banged up and dragging their remains across the pavement.

Post some pics of your off-road adventures and don’t forget the Starbucks gravel parking lot! Now just for a little trivia, do you know Interstate Highways are required to have at least 8’ wide traffic lanes. Maybe if you sprinkle some cat litter on a Highway, you can place the Raptor in off road mode and get a woody. I also own a 37 and have the ability to compare each truck and I didn’t not intend to hurt your Raptor fillers
