I like the Raptor alot, and they have a unique corner of the market, that no other truck really competes with...


w/ that being said.. when I bought my Hummer H3T I was thinking how fun it was going to be to offroad, and mudd, and just roam the unpaved world.. I learned quickly that I am a HWY driver, and don't do much of any of that.

So while I think this is probably the coolest truck on the market right now (even without all the power adders)... I would probably rarely if ever 'baja it, jump it, or see much dirt with it)

Especially with the near 50K price on a fully loaded one.. I wouldn't want one scratch on my 50K toy.. lol..

So I have learned that trucks are cool, but probably not for me.

I'm not normally a fan of doing this kind of stuff to trucks- but I have to admit- it works on the Raptor. I like it alot.

are you kidding? the raptor comes stock with fox racing shocks and 11 inches of travel in the front and 13 inches in the rear if i remember right, it's suspension is plenty "beefed up" already.

At the crank, my friend. The Hennessey 650 Camaro does not make 650 at the wheels, either.

You can bet that drivetrain sucks up a lot of power.

Its the same reason why some SS L99's dyno in the 290's from 400 hp at the crank.

Drive train loss.
