Can't stand the all chrome tailgates on the platinum. Well half chrome.


Before this new model came out, I really liked the silver platinums where you couldn't even tell the chrome apart from just the color on the truck.



That's a pic just pulled from google.

I need to install my add bumper this week. So I can piss people off with my light bar.

It's this exact one.

Yea I looked at one at a dealership once and that looks fine.

The black or dark blue doesn't look very nice to me.

One of the more worthless truck accessories out there, regardless, I'd drive the shite out of that truck.

To be honest, I don't mind the light bars if they're on the grill replacement, but when they're hitched on top of the cab, nothing yells, "I have a small dick," more.

Who makes that one? I'm trying to find a ranch hand brush guard if anyone knows where I can find a used one.

I have one on my arctic cat roof and it works a lot better up there. But looks terrible.

ADD. Addictive desert design. The newer models are pretty hideous. That is from 2012. I just never got around to it. Then when I got my SxS I stopped offroading as much in my truck.

Agree.

I don't like the chrome Platinum words on the side, either.

I want a solid color F-250 KR.

I like pogeys. Dark green and tan. Always liked that color combo.

Still in that Tahoe?

always hated that about turbo engines.

I want to drive one and see. I know it has to better than the old turbo motors.



Just spool her up with a little n2o, no lag.

To do that with a V motor you have to route all the exhaust to one side, which is a pain in the dick.



Unless you've got a Hot Vee motor like the newer BMW V8 and Merc has copied that concept now too.

Or an anti-lag system

For those not familiar, they are mostly seen on rally cars...when they're bouncing off the rev limiter and shooting flames at the start, that's an anti-lag system.

Mated to the Raptor’s engine will be the first application of Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission and a new four-wheel-drive transfer case, which will work with a terrain-mode system to configure the truck for varying conditions (mud, snow, rocks, etc.)


That screams out: "Don't buy this truck"

New engine
New transmission
Lot of the new transmissions out right now are given people problems

I'd steer clear of this rig.
