    Well thank goodness Ford gave you something. After all, $70k is a lot for a truck that comes with unlike dinasour technology. When your rental craps out too, I’ll still be driving my ugly interior truck.

    It’s pretty obvious a stock raptor blows away a stock tundra offroad. As it should since it costs 15-20k more. But what good does that do when you can’t drive out to the desert to run it because there are no tow trucks out there? I genuinely was afraid to drive my F150 out of cell phone range let alone out to the middle of the desert. I really don’t care what fancy gizmos they put in a Ford, I will never buy another one. Ever.

    I try not to bash a brand since I am not really a brand loyalist but my Family and relatives have had really bad experiences with ford with being stranded, limp mode due to condensation put into the engine on the ecoboost etc. We are wary of Fords and yeah we did have some problems with Rams and GM trucks but not the extent we had with Fords. They still buy the Rams and GMs but no one on either side of my family tree will buy a Ford now.

    I am the first in the family to step into the Tundra world so I hope to bring nothing but positive reviews since I really do enjoy this truck for towing and just regular driving that I have done so far. (3k miles on it right now) The subject of trucks comes up every family reunion so I hope to tell them the good stuff about my Tundra. :)

    Forgot what’s it’s like to have to manually press unlock and use a key every time I use the truck? The fact you’re even complaining about that is LAUGHABLE. Do you get that bent out of shape when Starbucks forgets to add creamer to your vanilla latte?

    How long has Ford been making trucks, specially 1/2 tons? Still can’t figure out after all these years how to make a reliable vehicle. Well, I guess if idiots like you keep buying them for $70k cause you think it addes inches to your pecker when you go mall cruising on the weekends, they won’t have to!

    If I wanted a craptor, I'd bought one. But I've got better things to spend 70k on, than a hunk of shit Ford.

    Fair enough. By the way, you were saying something about if you can afford a Raptor, you can afford to take risks....? Someone in your family most own a Toyota dealership to be able to bank roll that repair bill every month.

    I'm not upset, y'all 2 are just a couple of douchebags. You buy a truck, that in your opinion is a piece of shit dinosaur, why the hell did you waste money on it. Should have donated that money to research kids cancer.

    But, what if I want to blurt out stuff to see how long this thread can keep going? If I was going to buy a Ford though it would be more like this:

    I go slow off-road, and just watch other people go fast...

    Every brand has good and bad vehicles. It’s just the luck of the draw it seems. You’re going to see more fords in the shop when they outsell toyota 450,000 f series trucks vs just 55,000 tundras through June. It’s a simple numbers game. :crapstorm:

    Wow this thread still going? Maybe OP might consider closing it haha. I don’t think we are conveying opinions anymore rather provoking each other.

    You literally joined just to post? It’s like your child came running to you so you saying he’s being picked on, and you needed to defend him. Sorry, but you’re here only to instigate matters so your time here is up.

    You’ve been here less than a week, and are not off to that great of a start here.

    Look, at the end of the day it’s your opinion and money that matter. It’s not what others think. As I’ve said before- the Raptor is nice and I’d like one, but I can’t stand behind their turbos yet.
