Pot meet Kettle!

Have you driven an automatic with 7 or more gears? Always hunting. And I think it's a bad idea to introduce it in the Raptor.

It's cute that your blindly putting all your faith in Ford engineers but as people who've actually owned a Raptor, we know better. They're are a lot of short comings.

I drive a 7spd everyday and it is great everyday.

I kinda want to get one and see if I can blow the engine in one weekend in the desert. No one knows what's on this engine. We all might want to take a seat and wait a few months. Ford is out there now abusing these things. If engines are blowing then they are addressing it I'm sure.

But when I buy the wifey one you better believe I'm going to borrow it and put it through a torture test. Hopefully I'll break some 3.0 mounts and get some 3.5s through the bed

Totaling it because he wasn't watching the road and crashed into a brick wall in front of the school during recess doesn't relate to off-road abilities IMO

To his defense, the skirts those 13 year olds were wearing were pretty short...
