You're exactly right Z, good advice. That Raptor Roundup is an open event held by Ford each year, so that may have been a very novice driver. raptorroundup-com
now all that truck needs is someone that knows how to drive it.. ya don't letoff going over a jump or you will nose dive it.. and ya don't hit the jump giving it gas... ya get going at steady speed befor jump.. and base of jump ..gun it.. you will not nose dive.. your welcome
@Zsavage1 haha you cant expect everyone to know that! they got enough money to buy the truck they should have enough to fix it when they fuck it from bein stupid!
Ooh, off the bump stops.. I thought these things were 'designed' for this sort of thing! Ha! I jumped Rangies higher and still landed velvet soft. Heck, I've jumped my Series III higher on leaf springs and not bent or hit anything!
@twizz420 but then again a truck doesent need too much work to make it jump 10 feet across... not hating, just saying if I wanted a jumper Id built one out of an old truck for under 10k...
@Duramost You remind me of the type of people that build computers instead of paying thousands for high end PCs.
I wish I had your knowledge of cars to build a truck that can do what this truck does, but until then, I'll have to stick with just buying it from Ford lol
and comfort myself in knowing that at least I build my PC Rig haha
@Duramost Yeah but that's just like people who would rather spend $100,000 on souping up a honda instead of just buying say a Nissan R35 for $100,000... The Honda will still only be worth $15,000 after all that money was put into it, whereas the R35 will always retain most of it's value.
@twizz420 First unless DSport Magizine lied which I doubt because they now have one the base GTR has a MSRP of 89k ish. Lastly a civic you pick up for a couple hundred to thousands and fix it up. To get a GTR starting with 89k exactly the minimum down payment (20%) you have to put 17,800 for the down payment and you'll be paying 1186.66 a month for the next 5 years that's not with interest or car insurance or any wear and tear and hope nothing happens to you 20k tranny that if you break you buy.
@twizz420 You're right, the SVT Raptor will not tow as much as a standard F-150. It's good for about 6,000. That's good for bikes/ATVs, a small boat or really small camper. But don't put a travel trailer behind it! If you want to jump and go off-roading, go SVT Raptor. If you want to tow 11,300 lbs., go with the non-SVT F-150. Either way, no manufacturer makes a truck that can out do either of these capabilities
@FriendlyFordLasVegas there is a color that says gt500kr and theres a color that says raptor you my friend got the color thats says raptor and i got a silver kr =) nice truck btw i also have a 2011 f-150
I pretty sure I seen the front end fell off when you hit that jump.

Anyone who thinks their truck could do this right out of the dealership without smashing is an idiot. Period.
Raptors were BUILT to jump. Normal trucks are built to haul... You won't haul much in a Raptor though with that soft suspension I'm assuming...

@Duramost Yeah but the difference is that you're not covered under warranty if you build your own...

@twizz420 Umm actually, I just made this up... The computer probably knows when you jump and voids the warranty.
