I love the grille. The only thing that could make this truck better is if Chevy beat them to it lol.

Who needs the frame to stay straight? Not the Raptor.

Only reason the frame bent was because they pushed the trucks past their limit. Take a stock f150, silverado, or ram and see how ugly it ends.

So what are the limits that you can't go past?

They just hit pretty much a huge dip faster then what they should have. It bottomed out so it caused damage to the bump stops thus the bump stops failing leaving the frame to bend.

i don't buy it. Ford markets this truck as a strict baja truck. That picture shows a Raptor taking a jump at prob 60 plus.....if the truck can't do what its advertised to do maybe they shouldn't ****ing build it. Overall its a cool truck but its marketed as more than just a regular f150. Sure if someone took a jump at 75 in a Ranger I could understand.

Okay, it's a 40,000 dollar truck with great capabilities.. It's does not have the frame like a Baja truck but ita very capable and thereis already mods for the frames bump stop.

I saw a Ford Raptor truck parked at my local mall the other day. They are nice looking trucks I will admit and im not a Ford fan. Chevrolet should compete andt bring out that ZR-2 concept they built. Maybe they will after the new Silverado launches next year.
