Because Raptor

Owned a 2011 in between our Duramaxeseses and we found a fucking side yard on the west side of the fucking swimming pool near the nosebleed seats. Huge.

 

Ha wut?

 

It's a very big truck.

 

My brother in-law has a Raptor, it's nice but...



Put a good suspension on it and I'd take it over the Raptor.

 

My dad has a 2013 Raptor and while I would love to own it, it gives me drive and inspiration to build my Taco to perform as good, if not better. Next stop S/C and L/T for the Taco. He has a head start with a Whipple S/C under the hood...holy balls of POWER!

 

I'd love to mimic the "stance" of the Raptor.

 

yup, a person could arm bend me into driving that around all right

 

Around the mall it might do ok...!

 

Saw this nice Raptor yesterday. I don't have any interest in owning one but they sure are nice looking trucks.

 

Agreed

 

Not too much worse than a lifted Tacoma

 

Nothing beats them old Broncos, I have a '72 myself and it is a tank in the woods, tough as nails.

 

the headlights are just icing on top

 

haha I think a raptor gets 2 times more MPGs than my truck does lol

 

I'm definitely not a Ford guy but the Raptor is the best looking Ford P/U.

 

Yeah...I wouldn't call that a head start on power...I would consider that jumping to a different race track than what our 4.0 will put out! 675hp is a lot of power with a very good torque curve after looking at a dyno sheet on that bad setup.

 

Raptors are obviously cool and nice looking, but for the price difference between that and a Tacoma you can make some SERIOUS upgrades to your Tacoma.

Similar comparison between Ferrari or Lambo and a GTR or Z06. With a little upgrading the GTR/Z06 will smoke the much more expensive exotic... if they don't already do so while stock.

 

The Raptor isn't that impressive. A good friend of mine has one, I've driven it, rode in it as a passenger, and spent quite a good bit of time in it. Not that impressive.

 

i just try to think of what i would drive if money was no object whatsoever and as far as trucks go a raptor never even crosses my mind. nothing against them but i just don't feel that spark that others do with them.
