SCREW v. SCAB: Please give me *your* "legal opinion" on this important case.

[Jarrett H]

Strippers don't need seatbelts, who lied to you?

Fixed.

Another reason why the SCrew is better than the SCab IMO is the back seats on the Scab are vinyl. That's complete BS IMO and ford dropped the ball on that one for a truck that starts at 45K

Can Anyone else confirm the back seats are vinyl? Mine appear to be the exact same material. So either they are all leather, or all vinyl.

Where did you get that info from? Got a link?

SCREWS have plastic valve covers...

So why do you guys think you need the supposed offroad advantages of the scab? Do you doubt your own abilities so much you need your truck to be more capable so you can keep up?

Haha... stirring the pot?

Your first sentence claims that the shorter wheelbase has "supposed" advantages. The second sentence eludes to the fact that these supposed advantages actually do make the truck more capable.

It's just a fact that the shorter wheelbase has it's advantages off the pavement. Don't take this as me comparing the Raptor to a Trophy Truck, but there's a reason that pretty much all Trophy Trucks have a wheelbase between 125-130 inches.

WHEELBASE:
SCAB: 133.3"
SCREW: 144.5"

In regard to doubting my own abilities... I do that all the time. Part of the adrenaline rush in driving for me is finding my comfort zone and driving just beyond it. Some may call it wreckless, but I feel that slightly pushing beyond your comfort zone is the best way to improve your driving ability (or put yourself in the hospital or in the ground). I'm not a professional race car/truck driver, but I did drive professionally for several years and have a lot of track hours in a wide variety of high performance vehicles. I'm no BJ Baldwin or Robby Gordon and I'm definitely not trying to make myself out to be some self-proclaimed know it all, but I like to think that my personal and career driving experience makes me a better driver than the average Joe. But speaking of those pros, I don't think them or any other successful racer will tell you that you can win a race without driving on the verge of out-of-control.

Once again, we all have opinions and this is only mine. For the record, Cleave, I do generally agree with your opinions in these forums. If you don't mind me asking, what was your reason for choosing a SCREW?

EDIT: ... and seriously guys... strippers? How many of you have ever actually had one stripper in your truck let alone more than one?

^^ Funny that I had to go check them! Neighbors like, "whatcha doin?" I say, "Oh nothing, just giving the Raptor some love."

They sure look and feel the same as the front seats.
