    I've talked to them a couple of times but decided to leave my truck all original. They do nice work and they know the Raptor well.

    I'll admit, the video of the raptor does not sound right... That would be the first thing I try to fix. The 2017 Ford GT sounds amazing so maybe there is hope

    Yes they do, well that's a good thing at least it won't hurt when you sell it or trade it in. Unlike me you won't be depressed when they tell you all the add-ons are not included in the value. lol

    Originally not Expo AF! Kinda Expo AF now...lame.
    Most exotics are trending toward ditching manuals for dual clutch setups. It's incredibly fast shifts and less chance of people burning clutches up on these harder to drive cars.

    That said, manual sports cars are always more fun, so it's a bummer.

    lol I don't know why I registered Mustang GT in my head lol, but either way didn't know that had a V6 too. Wow guess ford plans on cutting cost by developing one engine for everything. We'll see how that plays out for them

    It seems like they're trying to kill V8s

    No just shaving off a few cylinders. Wait until they start cutting those in half.

    I think you're far from the truth man, my neighbor has a raptor and it's been in the shop constantly, the build quality on my pro is far superior, and in my opinion my truck looks way better than his. When we go to the bottoms he gets stuck a lot...just saying Ford can't touch Toyota

    You really can't base your comparison on just one person's experience, because there is a few people here who have had their trucks in the shop constantly. So people just get a Monday truck while others get a Tuesday truck. Plus a Raptor wasn't designed to compete with a Tacoma. The same way the Tacoma wasn't designed to compete with a Raptor. Tacoma is more of an Overland/Explorer type truck, the Raptor is more of a Baja/Prerunner style truck.
