SCREW vs SCAB
#12
Just keep telling yourself that....over and over and over. You may want to look into the Raptor version of the 2019 Transit.

Ha, Ha. So many talk about the Raptor like they ACTUALLY USE it for what it was built for. Ha, Ha. I love the truck, and what it was built for, but 90% or more that I have seen in the last 4 places I have lived (Texas, Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina) are all pavement queens. It is more a status symbol for them than a desert racer. Now, for those that actually live near/in a desert, maybe, and I bet those that do have a blast. But most don't and as competent as it is in the desert, I have pulled several of my buddies Raptors out due to being too wide for non-desert trails or just not being built as much for deep mud as they are for jumping and high-speed runs.

Appreciate all the dialog. It seems like it is a little more balanced than those video's would suggest. I too liked the look of the SCAB and rarely have anyone else in the car with me. We take the wife's Explorer when we have the kids or other family with us. And for some reason my three car garage is small. So it all added up to the SCAB for me but was wandering if I just picked a truck that no one else would want down the road.
I have no idea if this thing will ever see what it is really capable of or built for... but when looking at the decked out F150's at a similar price point, etc... I thought this would be more fun and hold a better resell value.
I am in Texas (DFW) and will look into the options around here to get it dirty but not sure how often that will be.

Well played! The base Raptor is a killer package IMO. May I suggest for the $500 that you go ahead and add the optional Front Torsen differential. You will be glad you did for both performance and future desirability...again IMO.

Awesome... thank you so much for the link. I had a lot of fun with my Lightning back in the day with TALON.
