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:

:rolleyes:

One of the major things that frustrated me about that truck had nothing to do with the truck. It had to do with living in a big metro area with about 5 million people (maybe more) between Dallas, Tarrant, and the surrounding counties..

There's too much traffic and it is rare that you get an opportunity to every really open one up for more than 2-3 seconds at a time.. (Especially as quickly as that thing would grab speed. :lol:) All that power seemed useless and I came frustrated at never really being able to really use it.

I loved the 6.2 / 6-spd combo. But, it was rare that I was ever able to open it up very much and actually felt like I was getting my $'s worth out of having the truck. That was probably as big of a contributor to me getting rid of it as anything else. :dunno:

Stomp the gas. Son of a .....! Get out of my

You should have gotten one of those Hondas with a fart can. You could probably shift 20 times between cars but feel like you are doing 120.

That shits real, son!

You better watch it, man. Next thing you know, you'll be buying a Honda minivan and loading car seats in back of that sucker! :lol:

There are supposed to be fixes for the bent frame issue with Raptors. Anyone know if they really work?

The last I had heard, Ford was blaming people for abusing the trucks.. I haven't read up on it much since then, though.. :dunno:

The explanation the Ford rep gave was that the frame bent at that spot as a safety measure. The people who bent the frame were indeed making some monster jumps. If the frame didnt bend in that spot upon such a hard landing they ran the risk of losing control of the truck. Better a bent frame than a dead driver.
