Raptor meet Excursion?
Not sure if everyone saw this one yet. Sept article.

Raptor Turned Limo: When You Need to Off-Road in Style .: Articles

I would imagine that the dynamics of the Raptor are reduced, but sure would make a fun family hauler if someone had bottomless pockets.

I test drove a Raptor earlier this year. I wasn't too impressed. But then again, if my expectations weren't so high, I probably would have been impressed.

The real test is off road. San Fran could be fun if you have the roads blocked off.... like Ken Block did... <cite>www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuDN2bCIyus</cite>

Told ya I would be around. The other FTE truck forums are quiet, so I am always coming back to the where the King's roam. LOL. The other forums might go a week without a single post. Can you imagine? How boring..... granted I am sure I could stir some things up, but I am just not that good a stirring.

Have to go fix my sig. Bought a 97 F250 LD.
