too bad none of them keep the drugs or illegal aliens out.... they should spend there money on giant revolving doors instead. the construction industry has went to **** because of illegals. im laid off for the first time in my life because guys come up here willing to work for 1/5 of what i make. They need to build a wall or open up the border completely.

Blame the Americans that hire illegals because they want to "pocket" more profits! Greed drives it!

It definitely is the same color as the Raptors used by Border Patrol. Those are definitely Tahoe rims on it as well. They always strip the decals when they get rid of a government vehicle so it's expected to not have the green stripe. However, I must say that all the Raptors I have seen in USBP this far have been screws and not scabs like this one. By the way, al the Raptors in the BP fleet have cloth seats and do not look like a raptor on the inside.

Well, then it could be USBP. Either way, I've seen a lot more USBP Tahoes trashed than this single Raptors. Heck, the illegals have even stolen them before! Before the Raptor came out my buddy who is in the BP drove an XLT Screw that he still drives. The Border Patrol uses everything. Lots of US made vehicles, boats, horses, and four wheelers.

When we first drove the Raptor in 08, we were hoping they would offer a gutted version for builders. No nav, no leather, none of the creature comforts. Looks like you can get what you want when you pay to play.

Border Patrol has several vehicles that are unmarked.

I think it would be great to be able to order an XLT with the suspension of a Raptor. Or better yet, an XL with bare bones interior.
