    If Ford comes out with a V8 Raptor you will see the value of 2nd generation V6 trucks take a big hit. Rumors of a new V8 Raptor are everywhere on the old interweb.

    I'm sorry that was so confusing. Allow me to clarify.

    How are trucks important to individuals, regardless of their ethnicity, residing in the state of Hawaii, including all of its counties, as opposed to the implicit comparable lesser importance of truck to anyone residing anywhere else?

    So you aren't a US citizen and refuse to answer a simple question?

    Sounds like you'd be better off posting only in this forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/hawaii.90/

    I'm a citizen, and you called me a foreigner, so, connecting the dots...

    But seriously, stop dodging the question. I'm curious.

    Check out my build thread (Beginning of Money Pit)
    Yes. I did. And I stopped entertaining the idea when I realized the shocks and suspension is OEM not race quality. Also, wont fit well on many east coast trails, and after fully kitting out a taco, I'm in less in the truck than a comparable base raptor (4 door, short bed)

    For the price of the Raptors, I personally think a 6.7l f250 platinum would be a better choice.

    I would wait for the F250 Tremor with the new Godzilla gas engine.

    How financially illiterate do you have to be to pay 75k for a truck.
    Even at 33k for my 2018 loaded sr5 4x4, I felt like I got ripped off...
