VelociRaptor 600 Raptor burnt to ashes...

this is a raptor forum not a bash forum. if you dont like the truck why did you join? just to say you dont like it?

Sorry for your friend's loss I hope he is fully insured.
I dont think it has anything to do with the modification because i am from Oman as well & i have 2011 raptor which i bought in Nov-11 and without any modification but with a broken engine!!!
So just advise everyone to stay away from this fake truck and move to GMC or Chevy.

Can you please explain what was wrong with your truck when it arrived?

When it was at 0 mileage nothing was wrong with it. I took it to the dealer for service at 10k km and nothing was wrong with it. then i took again for service at 20k km and everything was fine until it reached 24k km and as of a sudden a knocking noise starts to be heared in the engine. I called the dealer and then told me to bring it over and on the way to the dealer the engine got broken. No overheating, no abnormal oil pressure and above all of this no modifciation on the engine what so ever.
So what do you call this truck i wish someone will tell me that the Raptor is a reliable truck.
By the way i am not saying that this is not a Raptor Forum but i hope it is not a forume which is make to sell more Raptors!!!
We are Raptor owners who are suffereing from Raptor problems and when we say it sucks that means it sucks because we proved it to everyone else.
I have the pictures of my Raptor engine if you anyone want to have a look.
I am lucky because i still have 35k km of the warrenty on my Raptor and managed to get a new engine shipped from Ford but honestly i dont trust this vehicle anymore.
What i think will happen now in Oman after this fire accident everyone will try to avoid buying Raptor because no one wants to pour his money down the drain.
I am very sorry to say that i am a Raptor owner and not proud that i wasted 27k Omani Rials on such a junk

I have Cadillac (GM car) that needed a new engine at 64000km, it happens. I would say that you perhaps received one truck that had an engine problem. I think there are lots of people on here that would say they have had no problems. How often were you changing the oil? Could there have been some poor service done on your vehicle? How hard were you running your truck? All of these could have been factors on why you had a problem. For the most part everyone agrees this is a good truck. I think you are going to have a lot of luck with your new engine.

Have you ever driven a Chev? They do not have a single truck that is comparable to the Raptors capabilities. Perhaps you bought the wrong truck for your needs. On a side note, I would not be waiting 10k for oil changes on any vehicle I own, 5k kms max for me.

Oh and most people would agree that GM trucks have good motors, but the truck falls apart after 5 years, interior problems, and rust mainly.

They say 6000 miles (about 9500 km ) is fine between oil changes. I personally do mine at 4500-5k miles (~7200 km)

It must be junk then! might as well give the pile of trash to me so it can be my problem

 

[logger1968]

I hope that the new engine will be better because i bought the Raptor after using a normal F-150 (5.4L) for the last 6 years without a single problem. Never the less, i can not help the discomfort and disapointment that I feel
Excuse me guys
