So for 70k you could have had a real raptor, with all the electronic goodies that you can't get on an f150, you could get supercharged, upgraded suspension, and actually be able to use it off road.


I'm not hating because I'm jealous, in far from jealous, in hating because I don't see the point in having something that expensive, and completely useless.

I would have just bought a regular raptor, but this is pretty neat.

I can be 53k otd on a new raptor here with most everything including nav etc.

I would take the extra and put it into a car to go fast in.

That being said, it's certainly unique and will be a bad *** ride when fnished.

Explain useless?? It's like a lifted regular truck with a different body. If he wanted to slowly kill it I know that truck would destroy some mud.

Its useless to argue.
I know a kid who got a velociraptor for his 16th birthday and busted the stock suspension in one week doing jumps. Just cause you can doesnt mean you should!!! And his upgraded suspension costs 15k plus install, velociraptor package cost 18k... His truck is in the 95k range and is pretty sick! Just sits 2" above factory specs and only 560hp... Ill post pics

He put "raptor" suspension on it, then raised it up and put 40's
That completely makes the "raptor" suspension useless. You can't take this thing Offroading in the desert. Hence, useless.

Not really. I bet it can still take woops and washboards BETTER than a raptor. Just not jump. I'm not to keen on jumping a $50k truck in the first place, "designed" for it or not.

Sigh... When will you guys learn to just ignore the people hating? If you don't acknowledge them eventually they will go away. And then everyone can just enjoy this thread without having to worry about some meat head constantly posting about "how stupid it is"
