I would do something even if I had a new F150

So did Ford warranty it or are they still trying to get it resolved?

Just got off the phone with my buddy and he is pretty pissed about it. He said he going to check his when he gets home to see if his is jacked up.

This reminds me of the Focus that had the nitrous from roush or saleen but filling it voided the warranty. Or the GTR that shattered the POS $20k trannys the second you turned off launch control and voided the warranty in the process.

They are charging the owners to fix it.

I'm in the minority, but I really dig the trucks. If I was going to dump the cash on a new truck the Raptor would get multiple looks.

LOL @ all the GMC ads below the pictures.

Does Dodge or Chevrolet even produce anything close to the Raptor? Just wondering.

No. Ford has the market cornered on this. Hope those guys get it resolved with ease.

an ugly, overpriced piece of shit?

well.. Chevrolet has the Avalanche... and Dodge had the SRT10 and Daytona. I'm not sure what they're currently offering for that market

I thought Dodges were the ones with weak frames

el oh el....

[Broncojohnny]

Although I would never buy one, I love the way the Raptors look. Before I got through the first page of that thread I knew Ford would scream the word "ABUSE" from the rooftops.

Guess I am in the minority, I like the looks of them (minus the ugly graphics).

I would be very pissed off if I paid that kind of money for a truck and that shit happened.

[Sean88gt]

I love the excuses by Ford of abuse when they have videos of the trucks jumping in the desert, competing in Baja races, and holding up to true abuse.

Better git out ur welder if your gonna take that thar Raptor down to the river!

This was on page 3. Uh oh

"3. This is an F-150 problem - not just a Raptor problem. I've been looking and there are a few F-150s here that are starting to show some movement. Think what your standard F-150 with a load in the bed, or worse a heavy trailer with some heavy tongue weight, will do when running 70mph down the highway and hitting a bad bridge expansion joint. I'm trying to get a photo of a few."

I only read the first page as well but according to the owner the truck was not jumped but driven hard thru trails.... Which is probably very similar.

Ford didn't say they wouldn't cover it, just they don't know how to fix the problem from what I've read.

Yeah you may be right, I saw this part and thought he jumped it 12" but it looks like he was saying how tall the bump was.

"There was ONE last bump that I hit at about 55MPH (probably about 12" high or less) and soon after I stopped and met up with the other guys, and noticed that indeed I too was affected!"
