First of all let me tell you alittle about my self. I am currently serving in the USAF and bought my dream ride before i got married. Which is my 2009 Jeep Rubicon. I have lifted it 4'' placed 35'' M/T's, Cold air intake and rear bumper. I love my Jeep. Problem is Im starting to take the wife out camping, four wheeling, more trip that require more space then what the jeep offers. Not to mention she wants to start having kids.
Now about a month ago I saw the Raptor for the first time. Had no idea what it was. No idea Ford even made it. Went to the dealership a week later. Now i am in love and want one. Been reading posts after posts good and bad about the raptor.
Now for the GOOD NEWS. Wife says i can have one. Lets go get me that Raptor!
I am just debating and trying to justify getting myself a Raptor even tho the wife says i am good to go. $55,000 truck is nothing for me to just say F-it lets do it. I know you dont buy one for the MPG but it still helps.
Now i get an Avg of 13.0-13.5 MPG in the Rubicon now..... will i get better in the Raptor?
Whats the issues with the "CLUNKING" in the Raptors?
I am looking at the Screw due to the huge backseats.
Should i just hold out and wait for the 2013?
What i need from you fellow Raptor owners is your help in helping me justify taking the step and buying this best. I need real opnions tho. Please be honest on the posts.
Thanks
Chris
