Aggressive pickup styling without a lift?

Raptors do have a certifiable level of badassery to them.

The "step bars" to assist you getting in are a nice touch.

Won't fit in the garage, but who cares?

This in spades. I've never been a GM guy anyway, but becoming ObamaMotors completely sealed the deal for me. Always liked the 'burb, but 100% no fly list for me forever. Honestly, Chryco is right behind them, and i loved my CTDs.

The pictured 2nd gen isn't a 6.2, and most definitely won't be had for $30k.

Best I've been able to tell, the 2018 Raptor has 1 engine choice, the 3.5L V6 Echoboost.

Yep, I was obviously talking about a used one. I could never drop $70K on a truck, but am looking at a couple used Raptors (since I sold the Pinz). Depends what the Taco will bring in trade.

I read a few bad reports about super charged Raptor V-6's crapping out with really low mileage. Dealer would say crap like you were being too hard on it, and refusing to honor warranty. Squeezing V-8 power out of a six is asking for trouble. Do the math. Be scientific. Don't buy the hype. I think it mainly was supercharger failure. If the thing is going to leave me stranded, I don't want it.
