I'm trying to sell my M6 and would give you a smoking Raptor brother deal lol. :ROFLJest:


Love the M6, had an M5 years ago and the M performance is amazing. But I'm leaning towards something with AWD so the audi is ideal or the X*M series...

wish I could afford a 2017 but my 2013 with my custom motor wont be paid off in time. plus i just cant get over the v6 ecoboost in the raptor. I like my all american V8 With Headers to wake up the dead.

I will not be getting a 2017 v6 Raptor. If that's my only option when this gets old maybe I'll just get a jeep. :ROFLJest:

I'll never buy a Raptor again haha. Given what I've learned and how I would use it, it just makes sense to buy a base 4x4 F150 supercrew and slap a long travel front, cage it, currie rear, and do a sprung under rear.

My current Raptor will eventually get a similar setup in the next year or so. Once it's caged I'll probably pick up an FX4 for DD/towing duties.

After seeing the whole host of issues the '15 guys are dealing with, I won't be in for a few years. I have a feeling it will look better in person, but not sold on it yet...especially being a first model year redesign.
