Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

[GCATX]

I wouldn’t say Raptor’s are POS. They look cool and I assume they make owners feel cool. However, I just bought my wife a Ford lariat with the sport and black package and IMO it is just as cool, but it is a real truck. It can do truck stuff! It has 400 HP, which is 50 less than the Raptor and it FEELS just as fast. It is also much more nimble on the pavement and a lot easier to park. Common, how many Raptors jump sand dunes? I have owned Gen 1, 2 and 3, I still own the 3, but realize I could have saved a bunch of money with a Lariat!

Psst...this is a Raptor forum. We don't care about lesser trucks.

So... it's a S63, not 63S. hmmm. They are wonderful cars! Just very VERY needy from on the maintenance side of things. Calling an Audi R8 a "supercar" is a bit of a, um, stretch. lol

Amg GT63S

Could have saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.

“Supercars” have gotten far better In the past decade. I agree my cars used to have lots of little “isssues” related to being hand built but now My Ferrari f8, Lamborghini Urus S and Porsche 911 turbo s and Taycan tubro S have never been in the shop outside of oil/fluid changes and a single software update for the Taycan. My Ford trucks have been good as well though a lot of recalls which are a bit of a PITA….

Said a 1000 times, Raptor is a horrible "truck", great toy though. It only excels at one thing. It isn't a fit for everyone.

I've never won lotto. Probably never will. I've never won a raffle. Probably never will. Guess I'm just not lucky like that.

But heck if I haven't owned at least 15 brand new vehicles since 2015, including 7 Porsches, 4 Raptors, 3 Gen2, 1 Gen3, a Platinum, Lexus, Honda, Toyota, and I'm so old I can't recall what else. And the only one I considered a POS, and that was only in one area, was the Lexus brakes. The rotors lasted about 8k when the brakes starting pulsing so bad they could mix a milkshake. And that happened over and over and over.

Other than small issues, yes the noise from the stereo, door lock freezing issues on first Gen2, my vehicles have all been excellent.

Stuff happens with every product from every manufacturer across the board.

Damn, reading what I just wrote, I think I'll play lotto. I'm feeling lucky tonight. Oh, honey, hear that?

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.

Complaining about it on the internet will 100% fix your problems.
