what he didnt understand, is that all raptors look the same no matter which year. well... it had led tail lights so it must have been a 2015..... maybe it was a modded f150 instead

Haha

My bother is a mechanic
He said that there are multple trucks he and a collega of him serviced ( trucks are rare here )
His general opinion is that the build quality is crappy

From what i read here. With the things like the front diff as an exeption. How does it compare ??

Compare to a same priceclass Europeaan

Cause i think its rubbish what he said

Elderly man approaches me as I get out of my truck at Canadian tire and says "we have twins for trucks!" I scan the lot looking for a raptor, fx4, f150, ranger, ford, even something with a lift but nothing.

He then points to his 2014 gmc Sierra with chrome and gloss black 18's. Michelin "all terrain" tires, level kit and bushwhacker pocket flares (the ones with all the fake bolts) un painted on the black truck. Chrome handles, grill, bumpers etc typical on a 75+ year old mans truck.

He then explained he had no idea that ford made one of these and it must not be factory like his. I briefly attempted to explain that his was slapped together at the dealership and sold for an inflated price to him but he assured me it was direct from GM like that.

I didn't get in to me actually being at that dealer for work as they were building it a couple months prior. As I walked away I noted he had QUAD EXHAUST and all emblems painted red.

He then yelled as he opened his door "it's about time ford jumped on the band wagon".
