Raptor is terrible!

[Zev]

My anecdotal experience is the truck dents and dings WAY easier than any vehicle I have ever had. Even just a finger test the door panel deflects way easier and more than our other vehicles.

There is nothing anecdotal about the know cam phaser issue. Again, you claim the issues are exaggerated, inaccurate or self induced is just ridiculous. Nothing about the actual warranty claims I posted are any of those. The others are my experience as stated. Like or not. I posted to discuss my experience if you dont like it GET LOST!

Have a friend in the PDR business for 20 years, he sees more dents and dings in aluminum bodied vehicles than steel. On the flip side he said aluminum is harder to repair because of the impact malleability.

I never backtracked. I am discussing issues I have had and you are still name calling.

The wavy panels on the Raptor I dont see on our other vehicles. Cant comment on if deflection relates to strength but would certainly be related to panel thickness and/or support.

I have a basic understanding of cam phasers and how they effect timing. I am not a mechanic and never claimed to be. I just know Ford has an issue and it has resulted in my truck being in service a lot.

you realize u lost all credibility , u said the aluminum in the ford is weaker than the steel ,and if I remember correctly u said that was not even a debate , that mountain u were standing on is now pile of rubble . now the problems u r having some, r pro true ,but I and ford tech one focused on the one, and tore it to shreds ,how many others could we do that 2 .the list is now not credible .

I said steel is stronger than aluminum. It is.

The other thing is, most of what I posted is not unique to me. Cam phasers/vct, know issue. Rear ac, other compaints here in this very forum. Dings, search the f150 forums. Sunroof, known issue. Trim paint, other complaints in this forum. You keep talking about credibility like I care. If you think this is made up, go elsewhere.

I have had 2 is 350 fsports , 1 Toyota camery,a ram rebel , 3 mustangs ,and 2 ford focuses, and the raptor . the ram had the most issues by far ,followed by the ford mustangs and the focus . the other 4 ,2 Lexuses ,the Toyota ,and the the ford were the least problematic

no u said the ford aluminum is weak .nice try .like ford tech one said ,u sound like a fool .

 

[hotcorner17]

Oh look, more insults. Can you post my quote where i said ford aluminum is week? No, because all i said is aluminum is weaker than steel. It is. Then the alloy discussion started.
