Read this and read it again. Sound advice.
I've gone from stock SuperCab Raptor to what most would consider a "mid-level" Raptor: bumpers, mid travel rear, new UCAs and tie rods, 37s, 4.88 gears, fiberglass fenders, and basic stuff like CAI and exhaust. I still want more. It's getting a front...
I saw it was 35 pages so jumped to the end. It looks good. I also realize some people still ignore the part where it says Raptor and are still calling it a Warthog. So I'm glad I skipped through it all.
Two out here in the Roseville/Rocklin area in the last week. A friend of my gf's father and a random one a few minutes ago. Her dad's friend let us test drive his Badlands and even said he'd be interested in a trade for my '69 once his WT gets delivered. But oddly for a big as CA is and how...
I wish I could get the blue accents of the Black Diamond in a Badlands. That orange is just cringe for me. I know others love it, but blues and greens are my colors. Beautiful truck, congrats!
Nah, I didn't, at any point, say that if we know if the truck will be safe in a single incident, without a doubt and without safety testing that is safe. I was asking if the structure is just for basic safety or is it robust enough. You even highlighted the part that said INDICATOR on a couple...
Reread the first post and see if I say that. I think we're on two separate trains of thought. Not saying that one or 2 crashes would do that, just a synopsis and what happened, not a conclusion of safety. No hard feelings, just kinda asking for for any additional info that could illuminate...
So what I'm getting is this thread has provoked nerds who only trust numbers and knuckle draggers who are looking to build a full picture to add to the unreleased numbers. Read the part where everyone knows if it's a major manufacturer, it'll be a safe car. I'm tracking. Still.
You can learn...
I was hoping someone would be like "Yea we rolled one in [insert testing ground here] and x, y, and z happened." Guess I'll have to wait for the roll over lawsuits to start.
I found other threads talking about how those numbers won't be coming out for a bit and I'm tracking. I guess I'm more talking about does the structure hold up well on the event of a roll over off road or in similar situations. I get Ford won't release a vehicle that's unsafe, especially after...
I haven't run across much and fail to find any info on safety ratings and the like, assuming they're not out. I wouldn't hope for a roll over at KoH or someone out driving these to get into an accident, though that would be a good indicator of the standard it's built to. I'm not a sadist, so...
Stupidity like this is why I canceled my Bronco order and bought a '69. I poke my nose back into 6G and even BN on occasion to see if Ford came to their senses, but usually that answer is a resounding "no". We live in a day and age where rich people with money think they're entitled to control...
Except like 3 of those are me... and I'm not buying one. I won't pay for options that I don't want or color trims that I can't change. Disappointed, sure. But the other big deciding factor was that I don't want another $4k repair bill for a tiny leak in the auto transmission. Repair costs on a...
