motoxman30 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 6 months ago i heard about this project ford was doing with a new truck called the ford raptor ive read up on all of it and i'm tellin ya they would make a killing if they came out with more trucks like this wut sets this truck apart from any other is the fact that it is set up for the baja but its also good for street heard the upped the motor,put a brand new design into motion, and dont forget the suspension was done by fox 400 hp :ah: around 3-4 months ago when gas prices hit their peak ford stopped their production on this because no one wants a truck with lower than 20 mpgs...but i just read in truck trend they have it all ready to come out real soon this thing is a beast and theyre talkin about racin it in the baja reminder that this all comes stock no work to be put into it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pBSto378NU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP4-zARZVT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cheese Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Being a Ford..... Then call it a Raptor, What other reasons do you need to hate it???? :stir: causr raptor rhymes with crapper :poop: this is my evaluation from just the pics posted on this thread that thing jumps any higher than a couple feet off the ground, that front end is gonna get taco'd, unless they moved the motor to mid chassis. prolly ridin around in the flats and mid range whoops is all it would be good for off-road Edited December 5, 2008 by richard cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cheese Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 it would be nice to see that race baja...... it would be nice to see the big 3 race the baja in their stock 1500 series truck every year, and the improvements they make year by year, be available to the public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas FX400 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 probably mid 40's!! keep going. Mine new is around 47-49k. This one has better suspension and more HP...... wonder if it has sideways suspension :black: (inside joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman74 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ford said steve olliges and few other drivers are to do baja in full stock class and it is due out in spring of 09 http://www.fordvehicles.com/features/news/...dex.asp?id=1689 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 wonder if it has sideways suspension (inside joke) Hell no. There's only one truck with dat chit yo! :B I saw one of these at tech downtown on Fri night for the BITD race. It looked pretty cool, but I would question some things on it as far as long term abuse and durability. These trucks these days are being made more and more out of tupperware.

90+ PLUS Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) that look sweet but i bet for the price you pay you can just put longtravel on a normal f150. the shocks on the back of that are the same as mine on my truck except mine are kings but im not doing no jumps Edited December 9, 2008 by 90+ PLUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fctryblack84 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i wonder if chevy will develop or test anything kinda like this..even though they arent doing too well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Stock Chevy's can already handle anything thrown at em so there's really no need for a model like this. Here comes the pic of my truck stuck right?.... Seriously though, have have put my trucks through some chit in the past and they have held up suprisingly well. Ask Steveo and Tommy down the street. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
