yeah I know 13,000 is max for a regular 3.5 ecoboost, but 8000 on the rapton is enough and I like the front end of the raptor much more.


Just get an XLT and buy Raptor shite for it - pretty easy to make a standard F150 look like a raptor without the retarded price tag.

New F150s are just as nice as anything Gm produces, so this doesn't really make much sense.

They're quality chicken tenders. Good meat. Relatively expensive.

If it is 5,000, a 4 Runner will do it no problem... but stopping can be hairy if you don't have trailer brakes.

my 4runner could pull my old 21' but it definitely struggled to accelerate. No way it will pull a 24'

I'm probably underestimating the boat weights. Their hull dry weights are 2700 give or take on manufacturer

I have an 18 (no truck nuts). Its not just the look, it's the total package. It's not great for towing but it's the best overall ride, handing and steering feel of any truck I have ever been in. They ride soft and firm, both at the same time. Hard to explain. i'd tow locally a couple times a year if i needed to. There are airbags you can temporarily put in the rear suspension for towing. Fun truck and they hold their value pretty well. Many people that I know that have exotics have a raptor as their daily driver. They drive that well.

I actually like Ford. I just think those trucks are douchey/trashy. Probably due to the type of people who drive them.

What's everyone's thoughts?


What a bunch of pussies it takes to down vote a 450HP/510TQ pick up.

If you can afford it and it'll tow what you need it too, get the raptor and have a blast.

Looks like they're putting the new 7.3L V8 in them for 2020.

Raptors are bad arse, but I’ve never seen someone buy one for their towing capability...

I would go with the Cadillac truck Only real answer in this situation. Pearl white with 22" chrome rims for maximum towing capacity

Yeah, I would do this too. It wouldn't be quite the same, but you could probably save $20K if that matters.
An XLT + Raptor accessories is still retarded money.

250 is the best looking Ford truck if you are going for looks and towing

There is my subscriber. How you doing buddy?

And yes, it would cost $20K to fully accessorize it like a raptor. How do you not know this? Oh wait, I forget who I'm talking to. Carry on.
