I always said the Expedition was the badest 4WD on the planet next to the Hummer. Breeding it with the Raptor might put it in the ballpark.
Now I've got the 99 bigboy with a few minor extra's. Don't know much about the newer chopped down model's.. But they may be more stable. Not sure if they've got the ground clearance
197,500 mi. and I've put a batt and a heater core and a bunch of good oil in it... Just gettin broke in!

Rubicon is a smaller hardcore rig? Its so hardcore that designers dont care about anything other than offroad aka aerodynamics, mpgs, interior, noise, etc. But with that said, the rubicon is built for offroad, lockers f&r, d44's f&r, 4:1 crawl, solid front axle, coil suspension. Maybe your talking about different type of offroading than a Jeep would be good for which in that case I understand. My other ride is a 99 TJ so don't mind me defending the Jeep

That's not the point. I'm not specifically calling out the Raptor. I'm saying trucks in general. When gas goes up to $4.00/gallon people tend to steer away from vehicles that require a lot of gas. So for a company to spend money and a few years developing a truck that will come onto the market just as gas hits $4/gallon is stupid.

As a long time Explorer driver, I can absolutely see the appeal to a Raptor Expedition. As with any truck, it would have terrible fuel efficiency, but that's something we all accept along with the major advantages.

However, after driving my Explorer for so long, I'm ready for a pickup. Namely, a tuxedo black Raptor with a 6.2L V8.

I'm glad to see that Ford is answering their customer's demands for a Supercrew Raptor. I'd imagine if demand grows large enough for a Raptor Expedition, they may develop one in limited numbers. Who knows, these spy shots could have been an Expedition prototype.
