that truck fire is most likely related to shoddy aftermarket work, not the truck itself. if you dont like it, try using that gm you think so highly of. i work on cars for a living, my job requires that i disassemble them on a frequent basis. i have taken apart more vehicles than i can remember (im guessing about 6000) each manufacturer has their own problems for example, bmw and mercedes have always had cd changer problems and their older cars interior becomes brittle, gm and vw had seat heater problems (if you want to talk about a fire) that would burn a hole in the seat. vw who owns bugatti and lamborghini and others as well, had airbag problems. want one of those going off while doing 65? ford and honda have had door lock issues, etc, etc.... i can go on and on about which manufactures have what problems. to say that you had 1 bad experience with the raptor ( this fire doesnt count because of aftermarket work) doesnt mean its a bad truck. it means that your particular truck had an issue. and to find another vehicle that is as offroad ready like the raptor, is not going to happen. you can mod any vehicle to become an offroader, but how much are you planning to spend?
dont join here just to say that the raptor sucks. i think you are a bit premature on your judgement. before you decide to talk negative about the truck any further i would suggest that you try your gm and see how that goes, or wait until you have had the truck longer. see what a new engine does for you and go from there. everyone here is cool and laid back and will be willing to answer any questions and give you feedback if you ask, however joining this forum and having your first post be bashing the truck, is not going to make any friends and will make others think of you negatively.
i dont want to sound like im preaching to you, but know as many facts as possible before posting comments like that.
