Is it really that big ? I mean the chassis it is based on is significantly smaller ...
As Detroit said there's speculation it's fake news due to measuring inconsistencies with the mirrors being deployed on one and retracted on another. BUT. Skinnier chassis, sure, but those fender flares. And then those :jalepenis: length black plastic EXTRA FLARES on top of the already bulging fender flares. It's not a skinny vehicle.
Yea but the raptor has the same treatment and starts off with a way bigger truck.

I fully expect this thing to be really similar if not nearly identical in dimensions to a zr2.
It wouldn’t make any sense otherwise

Unless the base truck is narrower (it isn't from what I've seen), it has to be wider. The only thing wider about the ZR2 is the track and wheel flares. Fenders are the same. The Ranger Raptor has those flared fenders AND fender flares.

This is coming as a Corvette owner. We can have "buy what you like" conversations on here all day, but I generally expect your average Raptor owner to be a knuckle dragging, Monster Energy Flatbrim general contractor who grosses $130K year, reports $70K of it, and is in debt up to his ass on Raptor, motorcycle, ATV, and child support payments.

I've seen the videos where it does all of that cool fast driving shit in the desert, but what actually is the point of that?

It's huge, it gets 7 mpg, and it is a status symbol for the type of bro above mentioned 98 times out of 100. The Ranger Raptor is little different. The ZR2 interests me because it is several notches down on the bro scale and offers compelling engineering value with those fancy shocks and what not.

Also, according to this forum, you are dumb AF for buying a Ford product. 4Zilch is a moran. Ferd is garbage.

:dat: Except more like gross 200 and report 0 income... because EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING DEDUCTION :rage: That's how my buddy with the RAM1500 ecobankcrupt rolls.
"loses money" every year. :oops:

Ranger Raptor is kewll... if they bring in the 2.8 Diesel it should be decent too since it was in ROW for a decade.
ZR2 is epic because it priced so well. Basically does everything a raptor does for the average person for 1/2 the price and 80% of the size... the current full sizers are just :disgust: in their size. Big for the sake of being big, no actual reason for it.

Well some very vocal members here had bad experiences with Fraud, other work for competitors this is expected. I personally had a bit of a mixed bag having owned around 10 fraud products. So I am not going to sit here and defend them even though I drove the crown vic to work today and it was flawless with 392,820 miles as of this am. I can't speak to the new stuff because I owned none past 2000, and a lot of things changed.
Ford had a few very idiotic hickups like the wrong headgasket in the RS, like that shit should NOT happen in 2018.

Ferd, Fraud, etc. Worst Dealerships in the world.

It's the prevailing message.

They do have some compelling cars though.......GT350, new GT 10 speed auto that runs 11s, Focus RS, Bronco?

My experiences have been 50/50. When they're good they're really good. When they're bad, light the fucking thing on fire and walk away. No in between. Kind of like VW.
