I drive semi's for a living, so trucks are last on my mind, but I have noticed a small pattern like relationship of M3/M4 owners and the Ford Raptor. Seems almost every person that owns an M3/M4 either wants, owns, or prefers and Ford raptor to any other truck. Lol, seems odd to me, but funny too. Ford and BMW should look into this, haha

Was considering the Raptor recently. I was between another F80 and Raptor but then a CPO M6 came in that I couldn't pass up. I test drove the Raptor and was slightly underwhelmed :-/ it's super cool looking but driving it was less fun than I expected which was a huge disappointment. Maybe my expectations were just too high?

When I sat in the Tacoma i was shocked at how little space there was in the cabin...similar to the M3 If say?. Totally bummed me out bc I like the trucks a lot.

Yes, love my Tacoma but it is smaller on the inside then one would think. I think the M3 has slightly more room. This week I have been looking at possibly trading it in for a Tundra and get super low financing and a huge discount all in the name of more room inside. But I do not think I can get rid of my Tacoma, love the cement color and all the things that the pro trim brings to the table.

This is what happens after prolonged exposure to crappy sounding exhausts and the fake noises trying to cover them up - you’re brain goes haywire & you start to think it’s ok for your car to sound like a pissed off weedwhacker so naturally you are drawn to a truc that does the same. It’s ok, happens to the best of us
I daily trucks and have had both a first and second gen raptor - both awesome daily drivers. Can’t beat the versatility if you get a crew cab, very comfortable, plenty of power, ride is excellent on road, big mod market (see deavers #1...), and more than capable off road. I’m towing more so I moved up to a F250 - very happy with it but would love to be back in a raptor when not towing. |

Raptors are awesome! I seriously looked into getting one before I decided on the M4.
This news is encouraging for those thinking about one now: https://speedtwitch.com/report-2019-...dohc-v8-motor/

When I was shopping for the F80. It was either the F80 or the Raptor. Ford wanted 20k markup for the Raptor so I bought the F80. I would consider trading the F80 for the Raptor as I was cross shopping the two when I was in the market.
It helps when it’s a spare car. |

FYI, if you buy one you can go out to Utah and Ford Performance takes you on some trails and other things for a day. I’ve heard that is very fun. You just have to do it within a year of purchase. I did the GT350 version (which was a blast) and Ford does a very good job with that program. |

Anyway, yeah for how big and cumbersome the Raptor is, I'd want it to be amazing. I didn't think it was but maybe that's bc I was stepping into it from my M6 and just got too tied up in the hype. At least I know I'm not the only one less than blown away.

There is a known problem with the splitters. They ship the GT350s without them to avoid damage and then they are installed at the the dealerships. Almost everyone of them is installed incorrectly. There is a current thread about one that came off and damaged a car. Ford is denying warranty work saying it is an aftermarket part and that it is between the owner and the dealership that installed it. It’s the second time I’ve heard of this. Stuff like that and it seems like parts are routinely on nationwide backorder making warranty repairs take longer or multiple trips to the dealer. My rear brake pads were one of these back ordered parts. So I know not completely analogous to the Raptor, but I’m guessing they have similar stories on their forums. One poster on the GT350 forums had a great line/point. He said it seems like GT350s are built on another planet when it comes to quality and reliability compared to the F150s. I agree with him as I’ve had a few F150s and all have been very solid FWIW. |
