Anyone got a Raptor? What is your opinion of the truck? I want a half ton truck that has a big motor under the hood, and is fun to drive. How is the Raptor holding up? Any problems with them? I hear there is a lot of in cab noise on the supercab model because of the doors flexing while offroad. Is that the case, and would it keep you from buying another one?

You have a Canyon with a 5.3 and a Ram 2500 with a hemi and you still want a half ton with a "big" motor? :dunno:

They are alright, but most of them are mall cruisers

I would get a GMC Sierra with a 6.2L and have BB take a look at it :D

Ask Michael (Darkanion), do judge him by his current vehicle though :jester:

This can be a common problem...

My brother has had a few of them at his body shop.

If you want to go fast in a truck it would be very easy and enjoyable to get a Duramax...

Went up against a Colorado ss or 5.3 whatever it was and I was over a second faster in the 1/8th mile with just a tune (on economy) and complete exhaust.

I thought they had fixed that with the new ones?

Yeah I heard that too but my brother is still getting current models in with this issue. He seems to remember about 3-4 every couple of months and they don't normally deal with Ford. It just depends on the insurance company.
