I've had a Raptor since Oct 2009 and still get people stopping me and asking me all sorts of questions. I've pretty much heard them all.

I did have a kind of strange one the other day on my way home from a family snow trip. Guy at the gas station saw me pull up and when I was inside the store stopped me to ask what my gas mileage is. I told him the best my avg has ever been with the 6.2 which is 13.4 but mentioned it can significantly drop after a solid weekend of offroading. He responded in absolute disbelief of how GOOD that was! Borderline flipped out about it in the store. Then my gf's kid who was with me looks up at me and says "man.... does EVERYONE ask you about your truck?? geez.."

Thought it was pretty funny.

I would have dropped the wife at the front door & headed back around to meet the ladies.

That could explain why I'm now single...

If your always looking for greener grass you'll go Hungary looking while you could have been full with the grass you had.

I believe sometime later in 2010 it became an option. I took delivery of my 2010 5.4 Blue Scab in October 2009. Drove it for a solid 3 years and sold it to order a 2013 scab. Which is what I drive now.

Not sure the reason for your question. Are you insinuating that I don't know what I'm talking about? I would figure someone with almost 14k posts on a Raptor forum would know the answer to that.

..... It was a normal (stupid) question that gets asked by people at gas pumps. Damn man. Drink a beer!

Wasn't the way I read it. I could be wrong. Not pissed about it our anything, just curious the intent of posting that question. A beer does sound nice though. You buying? :happy160:

Wilsons probably just curious. Plus he is medicated after surgery. He is never one to start shit. Very nice guy.
