@supersnot4 yea except it will only last longer

@idontrunntoofast Believe it or not, that's a pretty good size for a bump stop. The normal size for a pickup is about 2-3". I know about the Nevada incident, the videos showed driving far beyond what Ford did in their ads. Sadly, I off-road more in my stock, 2wd '89 F-250 than most people will ever do in their Raptors. But the Raptor will simply last longer with heavy abuse. The Nevada trip is the only known frame bending incident that I've heard of or can find, showing abuse, not faulty design.

@supersnot4 4 Thats what happened to everybody who has brought their raptor to ford with bent frames. with a properly designed frame there would be other things that should have given first. the jounce bumper, bump stop bracket, ect. but the frame bent with no other failure thus designer error. again I am not saying it is a bad truck or that I wouldn't want to have it myself. but if I did have it there would be a severe amount of mods, bracings, brackets. going in and some deadweight going out

@supersnot4 3 treating the truck like its indestructible or like normal truck problems don't apply to it. when they should drive it like what it is, a pickup truck that is more capable than most any truck you can drive off the lot, but less capable than most custom trucks, buggies, and definitely Baja trophy trucks. the warranty is sort of nice, except for the fact that most damage that occurs to it will not be covered because it is (driver negligence) or (costumer abuse)

[idontrunntoofast]

@supersnot4 2 in-fact in nevada there was a organized ford raptor meet where 10 of the 14 raptors suffered severely bent frames and no other damage (in other words weak frames) the videos that ford used to advertise their trucks show jumps and maneuvers that are beyond the capabilities of the truck (thats how ads are deal with it :-) and thus people drive the way they see the raptors driven on tv, or the internet.

[idontrunntoofast]

@supersnot4 like I said I know people who have taken stock trucks and for around 4-5k have made them better then the ford raptor. my truck is more off-road capable, cheaper, and if I weld on a cat and smog, it will be road legal. thats the truck I built for 6k all together. also there have already been many instances of bent frames due to the short (4-5”) travel in the rear bump stops.

[supersnot4]

@g0t91 Neither have any reliability issues or recalls, so you can't actually say one is more reliable than the other.

[supersnot4]

@idontrunntoofast What's nice about the Raptor is that it's turn key, and still has perfectly acceptable towing capability. 40K is actually pretty good for a truck like this, especially considering it's 100% street legal and usable as a daily driver/workhorse. Even with good fab skills, you'd still come pretty close to the Raptor price tag for a truck with the same capabilities and comfort. But the Raptor has a warranty.
