2011 ford svt raptor

Raptor!

 

Just how is this a build?

Mods?

 

wow that video was lame just a bunch of flat ground 4x4 mall crawling

 

Hey Paul - Good seeing up in Big Bear! Great day! Are you TWA?

 

yah but i dont post on there too much

 

Understood

 

Lol...

Wearing a helmet in a mid-travel truck that doesn't have a cage....

 

the only thing I am impressed with are the windshield wipers

 

ok, here's the picture i prommissed earlier.....can you believe you're paying 45-50K for lift blocks in the suspension.....not tomention that this particular truck has been indoors it's whole life traveling around to auto shows, and it already has rust starting!

 

I'd equate that to the Tacoma chrome bumper rusting on dealer lots...

 

Oh, and Raptor!

 

Thanks, I was waiting for that lol



For a "long traveled" production truck in the demo vids I would expect to see a little more, maybe at least 2 wheels off the ground?

 

sounds about right lol.... but the lift blocks get to me....i always wondered why they only showed the front suspension in advertising and pictures. i gues this is why.

 

for that price you could buy a tacoma and put long travel on it...the raptor is definitely a good looking truck and ford had the right idea just really expensive

 

RAPTOR!

 

I just wish I had that much HP and a place to offroad like that.

 

Wow quite spendy.

 

heres a better video of it. As much as i hate ford I have to admitt that htis truck is sweet! I test drove one at the begining of the year and its nice... i want to test drive the new 6.2 coming out.

amen!

 

I'm suprised that with the expence of this truck and marketing it as a hardcore offroading vehicle, they would release these cheesy videos of their trucks driving over "groomed" terrain or very light conditions. It looks like none of these guys driving have ever set foot inside a truck, let alone gone offroading with one. In the second video they are suggesting that hill decent is new technology when I had this in my 20 year old SR5 4x4. You have to be kidding me. I have nothing against the Raptor... I even went to check it out at a local dealer and I liked the look of it. I do however have a big problem with Ford trying to market them as the be all and end all, when I would doubt it would fair any better than most other trucks out there, especially offroad. If you want to market your truck to a crowd that would use the truck for what it was intended, then I want to see a video of Ford taking their trucks to a known offroad site (the has some sort of obsticles) and let whomever they see in there do a head to head comparison against their own truck. That would impress me...
