  so I saw a new ford truck today - has ford written in the gril - built on a F-150 - maybe its a new SVT like the lightning? anyway when I saw it - first thing that came to mind was - I really want one of those - and put a 10 year window in there for when I think the price will be dirt cheap but still beable to find the parts to keep it running - glad there are enough rich people to break in my future toys for me

  it's a cool looking truck!

  My first sighting was a black Raptor tailgating me aggressively and I immediatley thought Wow that is badass and also VERY intimidating. It didn't help that its headlights were above my eye level when seated in my car.

  Everything about it just screamed don't berkeley with me.

  I just can't get over how mammoth that is for being based on an F150....it's cool...but huge.

  I want a Black one. They aren't any bigger than a standard crew cab, just lifted...with taller rubber.

  Yeah, such an aggressive street truck, what with the frames bending if you take it offroad.

  Take a trophy truck to the limit and you can bend the frames or tubes on that as well. Just a good example of people not pre driving a course and driving well beyond the spec of a vehicle.

  and wider fenders, with longer front arms for more travel, fox reservoir shocks all around as well.

  From what I heard, it's so much wider that the DOT made them put the 5 yellow lights across the front.

  Wow. Same price as an F-350 King Ranch with none of the capacity or utility. A truck for guys who wear $400 jeans without pockets.
