I'd have to see it in person. Wouldn't the front fenders be much wider than the rear (exlusing flares)

Would kinda be like a Silverado front clip on a sierra. (silverado being much wider)

i think the front is a little bit wider than the rear, unless the use the rear fenders also and use heavy offset wheels. they have more picture on the web site of this red one and a black one. it looks pretty good to me.

Baditude? The name alone is a deal breaker for me.

I just don't know about that red(I like the deep dark cherry red). That and I'm not all that fond of the name. I can understand a reason why they would call it that, but it just isn't me. However, I am a wierd "duck", so shouldn't take what I say to heart. Stylin' isn't me either. I can appreciate it, but it's not for me.

I think the truck looks good now but these "theme" trucks don't really stand the test of time. I like a more traditional age proof style with less "in your face" design.

The ole ball and chain would call that the "old fart designs". The ones that stand the test of time, because there are always "old farts" around to use them.

Haha. Yeah. I guess that's true.

The best way to make a truck look brand new in 20 years is to make it look 20 years old when it comes out.

While that's awesome, I would never pay more for a truck that imitates the real thing (being the Raptor) with a drop bracket suspension lift.

Not a whole lot different than when people by V6 Mustangs, then put a GT rear bumper on 'em, dual exhaust, and GT wheels. Why not just buy the V8 instead? And don't play the "gas mileage" card either.

well since they haven't released a supercrew raptor yet I guess this would be the next best thing. But with a 6 in lift

I would go in for the wheels and tires before I would go for the lift though. Now granted I am in the minority I'm sure. I know my dad really likes wheels and tires(not lifts though, he is more of a 911, SL600, and SC430 fan) and all that stuff just doesn't get me hot and bothered like it does some. That's just me though.

see, I'm the other way. I would want the lift. But I'm into 4x4 trucks more than cars. The wheels and tires look good though. I went with a 2 in lift on my truck and tires. Kept the factory wheels
