My new SVT!

I LOVE those things! Tons of them here now. I can't figure it out though... Are they cruising through corn fields?!!

People get these raptors thinking they can drive it from the factory like a full blown Baja truck, thats why they are breaking. At the end of the day its a built up F150 that is street legal and has heated leather seats, not a gutted full custom Baja truck.
 
My brother and I have a secret love for the Raptor. His not so secret, since he has the finances to actually own one if he so desires lol. Sweet ride man.

Yeah well maybe they wouldn't do that if Ford didn't say they could in the advertisements.

Just looking at the suspension components, you can't really argue that the truck wasn't meant for off road use.

YES! my wife called me at work today and was like.....hey babe, though even i absolutely dislike your ugly contour and the fetish you have for them. I do feel ford makes nice trucks and i just seen something rolling down the road called a Raptor, I want one. AND I politely say OK! so hopefully i will join the ranks with you in the next year with that find specimen of a truck you have
 
I can't love this truck as much as I'd like to. Here's why: 60,000$ and NO SUPERCHARGER?! come on SVT...really?!the lightnings had superchargers..THAT was a great truck. These could be better if they put a little more under the hood.
