Thanks for the advice, Earl, but I'm still gonna spend the extra 500K- if I buy a lesser truck, BB won't be nearly as jealous, which of course is my main motivation for buying it at all.
I still want that Raptor, though- 400+HP, 400+TQ- it's a beast.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I disagree- this is a bone-stock Raptor being tested (the suspension installed by SVT is pretty awesome):
I heard some nutter bought a load of hummers in India for organized tours. The nobbend didn't take into consideration the tracks weren't wide enough and lost a ton of cash.
I bet the Ranger, BT-50 and Toyota can get many places that/those monster can't. (Standard form)
Sorry can't see the vids, youtube blocked at work. I will check them out later though.

You bullied, you laughed, you lied, you lost!
The Raptor is based on the F-150- it's bigger than the Ranger, but not by that much- the wheelbase is only 15cm more (the fact they're so close is the reason Ford won't sell both in the same market).
T6 is 10% smaller than the F-150.
I wouldn't mind one of these though!
Never, ever use first gear. All town driving should utilize second for stop and go, no need for first gear unless pulling uphill or trying to crawl out of a mud hole in 4 wheel drive. Durability of Ford trannies are notoriously weak. I went through 3 before I sold it over 10 years use.Originally Posted by Jesus Jones
That Toyota Landcrusier has a Chevy 210 Jap copy for an engine. Best in-line 6 cylinder made IMO.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Oh dear, the Americans have taken over the thread...
Bigger, Bigger, BIGGER.
^ not really. As I've said before, I've had fast(ish...) cars, but they've only been about 125hp! A Renault 5 GT Turbo and a Lotus Elan. I had a Rover that had a lot of horsepower (300ish? maybe less), but it was nowhere near as fun/good to drive as the other 2.
I'd probably be happier with the 2.2 that the 3.2 Ranger, although I'd like the extra safety features of the 3.2...
Cycling should be banned!!!
Nice car in its day. Jealous, always wanted one.Originally Posted by Bettyboo
^Hairdresser's car that was.
^Speedy little bastard. You sit almost prone and the feeling while driving is like being on a skate board at 100MPH asphalt passing by your shoulders and screaming fast when your really tearing through the mountains. Rear engine and all, perfect car for the times. Now I want a Ford GT 700HP and mid engine.
Lotus Elan ?Originally Posted by ltnt
Yeah, an older Lotus was a lot of fun (for the ten minutes per month when it was running properly).

Now an X1/9 shows up- my god, there are some gluttons for punishment on this thread.
You guys must have been in really good shape when you were younger (from all the miles you had to push your cars home or to a service station).
