It has a different tuning than normal 150s and a different exhaust.

 

Sure do and will do.

That would be cool, but a lot of work just for a picture.

First Drive in January 2010 issue (out next month) and 4x4OTY test in February 2010.

5.4. It's getting the 6.2 in December/January.

Nope. Same tuning and same HP/TQ rating. Different exhaust though. Although in Off-Road Mode it does alter the throttle map and transmission shift schedule.

 

Jason... PAINT THE RANGER!!!

 

work or not it would show that the raptor is good for all uses!

i really want to drive a 6.2L!! Does anyone know if its going in the normal 150?

 

Throttle map/tuning. Blah lol

 

I like the LED lights in the grill and on the bumper corners as well as the rear.. I think it looks cool. I want drive one.

 

I like teh raptor....









and for teh hotness and randomness in a raptor thread...

 

I WANT TO SEE MORE OF BLUE 351 RAM AIR!!!

71?

 

man thats a sweet combonation of trucks you have

 

Dude thats sick!! I would love to have a raptor!!! what is your job? From this thread it seams like you work for a magazine company, what mag? and what is your job? just to test trucks and write about them??

 

i believe its off-road? I may be wrong though

 

^^??

Yes. And the other above.

Sorry, 4-Wheel & Off-Road, we run Four Wheeler Of The Year next month.

 

AHHHHHH

 

dude that is one sick truck

lucky lucky man.
i say paint it dsg


i love those grills

 

it kinda makes me sick everytime i make myself go look at one and i see the dang price tag, its by far the only new f150 i like but gosh thats a huge truck payment, congrats to you though i guess when im in the neighborhood ill just stop on by and borrow yours cool?

 

it's nice to see some bigwig at a small publication such as yours on a site like this. knowing that you guys get your reader feed back and mingle/share things like this. i got a subscription to four wheeler for christmas and over the past 10 years have bought my fair share of the other ones mentioned.

on a side note, do you think ford would notice if you swapeed out the running gear into your ranger? i think not. go ahead and see. :)

 

Not always. Some are sent to tech schools as a write off. We got a ton of test cars at my school. A few rare ones as well. They all say Property of Ford, Chrysler, GM...blah blah...and will be crushed on either the door or on the window.

Yes. 1971 was the only year for the BOSS 351. We had a Yellow one that we sold due to the money pit it was becoming, and the 1971 428 Mach 1.

 

Yeah the tech school I went to in high school (PSEO) had a bunch of donated cars with no miles and no VINS (I think I can't remember) They had a Dark grey EXT cab 1987 Ranger 4x2 with a 2.9 and a 5 spd with 15 miles on it! I wanted it so bad. I had an 88 at the time and though maybe they'd let me rebody mine! but it was too old for them so in 2000 it went to the auto dismantling students (yes that was a degree program at this school) The dismantled it and then sent it to the crusher.

ya they are real pricey....

 

That's just the thing... go down to your local Ford dealer and look for a comparably equipped Lariat 4x4. They will be the same price or more than the Raptor, without all the Raptor gear. It really is a good deal. That is if you're in the market for a 40+ truck.

 

not bad for only seeing a hood, and being a 23 year old who has not put any notable effort into studying the years and motors of any vehicles eh?

my flavourite is the 69 boss 429, although the more functional 69 boss 302 i wouldn't mind having either...

 

Yeah not bad. Just a warning anything that isn't falling apart and is a True BOSS car is going to cost $$$$. Thats why we sold our Grabber Yellow and the 1971 428 Mach 1.

 

lol, i saw a boss 429 on barrett jackson last year, i think it went for 350 000$ or something like that...
