6.2 Supercab. No wife and kids. The supercrew does have a bigger gas tank. My little puny 24 gal tank only last about 380 miles if Im lucky. I dont' care about the MPG but its sucks on a long trip to have to stop so often.

whats awesome is the guys voice at the end " What happened to 30 mph?"

That jump had way too much inclination for something epic like that not to happen.

Nice man.

I have a 32 gal tank on my truck...sucks to fill it up, but I love it. Usually get 550+ miles to a tank on road trips.

Here's a head to head on the ram runner and raptor

Figured you'd bite on that...

if you're looking for something to drive to the dunes, through the dunes, to the grocery store, and then back home...no doubt the Raptor is the better truck. It's a good all around vehicle...but I said capability...not the most well rounded truck.

If you're a serious off-roader looking for a pre-runner style truck...you aren't likely to buy a Raptor. Most of those guys prefer kits like the Ram Runner or any other reputable kit.

Pickuptrucks.com put them both head to head on a course and the Ram came out 33 seconds faster with a crap transmission, less power, and a 3.55 rear gear.

Well, I am officially out of this thread.

I guess I didn't know enough about the truck before I posted. But hey I guess I'm a good messenger.

The Lingenfelter logo got me excited. But I guess the truck isn't all it's cracked out to be.

Flame on.

This^ I lived in Los Angeles for a month and you don't see lifted trucks like you see down south. If they customize a truck it's more of a baja looking style with flared out fenders. There was a lot of trucks that looked like this

I love that black one. I could get across a cane field in a heartbeat in one of those.
