Sarcasm detector may be broken, but yes frames do bend when they hit a 3 foot drainage ditch at 90 miles per hour
|

I have a feeling the 45 miles on it weren't "babied" miles. That may not matter one bit with today's engines though.
ETA: nevermind, I didn't realize this wasn't a factory ford package. I figured everyone at the dealership had to go for a joyride. |

all the frame bending comes from marketing a factory "stock" truck
as a desert running truck. if you look around the frame problems are all at a thin spot on the frame where a tube connects both frame rails the "fix" for it is really nothing more than a fish plate over that one spot. its funny though that people complain when you take out a stock vehicle and go running through the desert and it doesnt soak up them bumps exactly like you thought 55+ thousand would get you... on the fence on who the blame should be put on though.... its all on the owners but ford engineers should be slapped for missing class on the whole frame building 101 |
|
I own a Raptor...if I wanted to run the quarter mile, I'd buy a new 5.0.
FYI...as for the bent frames...bah...play stupid games (jump a 6000 pound truck), win stupid prizes. CVN |

F-250 type frame would have solved the problem. |

so basically its a bolt on ford truck with some badges and a supercharger?....could duplicate that for a hell of alot less than 75k$
and it only runs a 13.6? your shitting me go take a base silverado, small cam, bolt ons and a torque converter and you can break 12s |

Didn't you read the 100 web postings about the same dozen guys (out of almost 10,000 trucks) who did the same thing and bent their frames? Obviously a defect and sign of a weak frame... I own a Raptor...if I wanted to run the quarter mile, I'd buy a new 5.0.
FYI...as for the bent frames...bah...play stupid games (jump a 6000 pound truck), win stupid prizes. None of the bent frames I've seen were actually from jumping- all the ones I've seen were from ultra high-speed kickers instead. |

He'd take parts off of customers cars and sell them, and still charge full price to the customer, plus out of state orders were left on the back burner. One guy waited 1 year+ for modifications that only take a couple of weeks. |

I'm guessing some 'custom' shop who's done shoddy work? google hennessey and viper together basicly he ripped off a bunch of people for a bunch of money then moved on to cadillac lol and now offers his name to ford not so much a custom shop doing shoddy work more like a performance shop that started robin hooding only forgot to give to the poor and just pocketed the money. forgetting the whole ripping off people thing how did he get his name out enough for people to pay him bunches of money to bolt on some add on power from other companies do some tune work and stitch his name in the seats? sign me up I can do this and hire a guy to stitch the seats |

If I had that much money to blow on a Ford product, I'd prefer the 2013 Shelby instead.

Wow, that truck is SLOW for 600hp. What a piece of crap. A 2012 v6 Camry could nearly keep up with it at 14.2 qtr mile.

My '98 F-150 with 255K on the clock will still do 110. Good point. And my 2004 crew cab Duramax will kill that 13.6 1/4 mile time by about .8. It does have a few tweaks, though. |

But still , for 75 grand I'd expect alot more performance than mid 13's and a top speed of 110. And thier only excuse for the top speed of 110 is "Tire-Rated". C'mon , for 75 grand you cant put a better set of tires on there for me? WTF? |
