Everyone's entitled to their opinion, my son didn't like it either. I thought it was bad azz and if I was loaded, I'd blow some money on one.

Personally, I have nothing but confused silence for what I just saw.

Not bad but in my opinion they blew it on the headlights. Swap in F250 headlights. Right now looks too much like a big 150

I actually like the 'look' of my 250. The Raptor has a target market for sure, but I don't think I'm in that market. Not to mention parking that in a garage; I know this is not a 'how practical is this truck' discussion, but I tend to go that way. I'll stick with impractical mods for the Jeeps.

While I always wondered about a 250 based raptor. I would rather build a desert runner support truck style than this.

I dislike the finger poking in the Eye headlights... F 150ish...

never a fan of forward tilting front end... aka 1959 Ford Galaxy 500.. forward tilting hood.
what a pain... work on radiator or thermostat and fan...

If you can afford one of these, I doubt you will ever have to worry about being the one who turns a wrench on it if you don't want too. So I wouldn't worry about that forward tilting front end chuck. I really like the 15^ f150 headlights. Maybe that's why I like this thing so much.

It does not matter... I would not own one... I am retired.

but I worked at a dealership most of my life... 43 years.
so I worked on lots of stuff, I could never afford... but I did get to drive some very nice stuff..
