    Exactly! And isn't the sticker supposed to be put on at a 45 degree angle? How do you keep your popped-collar from flapping in the wind when you drive with your windows down? I know you can't put the windows up- nobody would be able to see you, your collar and your sunglasses if you did that!

    I'm so sad to have read this. This was seriously the first American made truck I was in AWWWW over. I actually really like it.


    However, I'd buy a Tundra and LT that if I was to buy a Raptor. I went to Galpin Ford and they're a bunch of D-Bags there. They marked up all the RAPTORS 10k over MSRP. The Fuck?

    So the sticker on one was 49K + 10K mark up and the guy said, maybe he can get it for me at 49k +3-4 K mark up. He then proceeded to say, I better act fast before its gone. Now are you going to be trading in your Toyota?

    I was like, ummmmm no. Good Day    ​

    fox sucks...lol

    that's really the problem right there. people buy the raptor thinking it's a trophy truck because of it's internal bypass shocks and dirt graphics. the majority of owners are rich old dudes or little boys and they go out and abuse the truck thinking it's indestructable

    dont get me wrong. i still want a raptor... but there is still a lot that needs to be done to a stock raptor to really make it a solid prerunner

    Funny you should say that- the two Raptors I see around town are owned by

    1.) A very rich, elderly man
    2.) A 20 year old drug dealer with rich parents


    Coincidence?

    Yeah but guess what Matt. For the price they're asking for a Ford Raptor. Then the money your're needing to fork into making the Beast fit. You're better off buy a Ford F-150 and doing it right the first time. I bet you'd come out ahead.

    You can always buy the FORD RAPTOR Grille or get that One Piece Clip. I'm just saying. Ford F'd themselves in they promotion and demos of the Raptor. They make it seem that it can do anything off the lot. Thats FORD problem. I walked into Galpin Ford and the salesman said, it can do more than I could imagine as is. I almost smacked him.​

    I noticed someone on that forum posted saying the 2011 Frame doesnt have the hole in the frame like the ones in the pics did. Maybe Ford changed something. I wonder if theres a difference between Crew Cab and Extended Cab?

    You can't knock a prerunner, uh... prerunner. Considering that the purpose for LT is, well... prerunning?
