Stupid Things People Say About Raptors

[TexasTexas95]

I showed up to my first day of work at a new company with my Raptor when one of my new co-workers pulls up next to me in a z-71 and says " nice truck...for a ford.... I would have gotten the Chevy Reaper, it's a Raptor killer". I stared at him blankly with the absolute most unimpressed look and finally said..."Oh yeah?" and kept staring at him. He kinda laughed like he wanted me to laugh along with him. I didn't...

I've owned this thing for about a month now and it's so crazy the comments about money, and fuel mileage, and why's it so special??? The list keeps on building. I swear I have heard half the comments in this thread in person. To be honest, before I owned a Raptor, I had a Lariat 4x4 Ecoboost loaded to the gills. I couldn't see what all the hype was about for the life of me. Even when I had the Lariat, I secretly wanted a Raptor. Unfortunately for the Lariat, it wrecked and was totaled out. I test drove a Raptor, instantly realized what the hype was about and had a Raptor a few weeks later.

The Haters are abundant is all I can say now...

I have a fleet of fords, and I hear that all the time. Funny thing is, the people I hear it from are always complaining about their Chevy's.

1. I hate it when stupid people ask me if my Lowrance GPS on the dash is a "fish finder". Response: no, its an Offroad GPS.

2. Why do you have a hi-lift jack?

Its there if I need it.

Do you ever use it?

I have several times, I love it.

Why do you keep it with you if its for offroading?

Like I said, its there if I need it? Why do you wear your seat belt? You don't need it all the time but its there if you need it.

3. Why do you have all those lights?

I show them a few night runs I've done over at the management area trails with stock headlights vs. offroad lights at the same speed and they understand.

4. Why would you take a $55k truck offroad?

Because its built to do it. Why not?

5. Why is your truck scratched up?

When you are doing 80+ Offroad, you aren't thinking about the paint.

6. Why do you have something so bad on gas?

Because I'm not a boring person. I like to have fun while driving considering I drive my raptor 30k+ miles a year.

7. Where is the loud button?

Right here on my keychain, hold open for 5 seconds and it opens the exhaust.

8. I had some lady come up to me at the mall that was driving a Prius and bitch at me about the environment.

Ma'am, just the nickel in your batteries are mined in Canada, sent to the us. Put on an enormous ship and taken across the ocean to Britain where it is refined. Put back on a ship and gets taken to China where it is turned into a foam then across to Japan where it is put into the batteries. (Thanks to top gear u.k. for the explanation)

9. How many miles to the gallon does your truck get?

Me driving or a boring person driving??

You.

Around town, having fun, 10.
