Default Roush SC vs Raptor

Roush SC is +22K on top of the base vehicle (so Lariat would be around 77k), and I'm guessing a Raptor can get into the low 70s once optioned out

So, price will be close, which would you take

Feels like Roush is better for someone that drives more on road vs off and vice versa for the Raptor

Here's the real ENG upgrades on the Roush, rest are cosmetic

F-150 5.0L ROUSHcharged 600HP Powertrain Featuring the ROUSH 2.3L TVS Supercharger
ROUSH Performance Exhaust System - Side Exit *Dealer Installed
ROUSH / FOX 2.0 Performance Series Suspension System - coilovers and shocks w/ boots
ROUSH 20" Wheel with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZP3 305/55 Tires

Why, not trolling, genuine question? Is one basically a go fast pickup vs a true pre runner?

Basically. Ones made for off-road and going fast on sand and jumping. Another is for going fast on the street.

no brainer bud - Raptor


Factory the Raptor will be 450+hp and 500+tq. With just a tune (~$600) you'll be ~530ish hp and 600tq.


With the Raptor you can have your cake and eat it too.


besides, with the Roush you are paying 22k for 15k in upgrades and the engine isn't even forged.


the only real deal breaker would be towing - The Raptor will have a lower tow rating because of the suspension.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you aren't doing hard core off roading, I'd go Roush. Ford failed IMO when they didn't offer a V8 version of the new Raptor. I was planning to buy a 17 Raptor, until I found out they were an ecoboosted V6. Now I'm looking at a low mile 14.

My father in law has a low mile 14 for sale in Missouri.. I believe he's got around 1,500 miles on it. It is red and I'm not 100% sure what options it has on it. If you'd be interested I could get you his contact information.

Good stuff, thanks guys, and I didn't know the EBs were forged, but I'm one of the few that was hoping for a SC V8 option

That's crazy low miles. Let me close on my house first and I'll let you know.
