Must be some strange incestuous thing going on out here. I only get it from other Raptor owners and it never fails that they have exhaust work done.

Question for the group. Do you get people in other trucks driving more aggressively around you? I drive the speed limit and I have guys blowing by me, or at a red light trying to “beat me” off the line.

I’ve driven Ford trucks for the last 25 years and never experienced people reacting to my truck until I bought a Raptor. Am I paranoid, or are other drivers that intimidated?

YES its called RAPTOR ENVY.;)..get it almost every time I'm on the Interstate....mostly from the Chevy-Dodge guys...the Ford's usually pull up alongside and give a thumbs-up...and the Toyota's ...they usually keep their distance,afraid the Raptor might eat them for lunch..!
Also get a lot of tailgating....but usually they come up fast,and then back off...I think they are trying to read my Plate (BADBRDY),and see what the Badges say on Tailgate (Raptor / Shelby )

My mechanic says I have fastest truck in area,and dont have to prove anything...so usually when a yahoo pulls up along side I just smile....but once and a while when I'm in a "mood",I like to see them in my rear view mirror...I heard blowing out your exhaust once and a while is a good thing..LOL!

Oh man, I totally noticed the Ram guys with their black on black cookie cutter trucks are always riding on my right side, or driving like morons to get next to me. Something about those Ram owners.
