GM needs to come out with their own version like yesterday!

 

They already have it is called a z71. It will out perform a raptor in nearly every aspect, they just didn't give it a fancy name and add $10,000 to the price of a truck!

 

It isn't a ford any more. It is a ford body.

 

Z71 is such a far cry from the raptor that it's not even funny.

 

*******. Stunned.

 

A stock 5.3 4x4 will out run a raptor in the 1/4, the raptor has 37s? That is approximatly 2.5 inches more ground clerance over a truck with 31.7(stock 265-75r16).

A raptor isn't a far cry from a z71 in a good way. It is a differant animal due to the extream cost and compleat and total lack of value. The raptor is a slightly wider then stock truck with small factory lift and a body kit.

They look good but they are like a tuner with a hood scoop. Looks cool in a video game but nothing to look at twice on the street.

 

This truck was built at a local shop called Geiser Bros. A good friend of mine worked there, should give that raptor a good run for its money. P.S. i got a ride in this thing right befor it was shipped to Leonard and its wicked fast.

Unless you sat and drove a raptor you can't compare to a 4x4 chevy truck with skid plates. The options and electronic features are crazy. And the suspension is
Somewhat long travel. Let me see a torsion bar front end ride that smooth. It's ignorant to even compare them. Ford
Once again caught us with our
Pants down stock truck wise lol

 

The aftermarket springs you're referring to are Deavers. Deaver is not making braces or bump stops.

And there are a ton of those trucks with bent frames. There was a huge thread about it on the Raptor forum. Some are stock, some have Deavers.

 

definitely some sick trucks, I wish they would have talked about the powertrain though. And saying a z71 is better then a raptor is a terribly misinformed statement.
