Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ford Raptor 1/2 Ton Trucks

We’ll add that to the very long list of things Flave knows.

Older Ford Broncos can do that.

Yep.

Jumped a terrace once in my 79 Bronco, alcohol may have been involved. 5500lb of iron hits HARD when you return to earth.

Had a buddy, and a truck load of my friends with him.

Put a turbo in his 69 bronco...

We used to all speed over a small railroad crossing and catch air, but Dave hammered it and kicked on the turbo, the truck went airborne and hit a telephone pole cutting the pole in half about 8 feet up, then the truck rolled a bunch of times.

It killed Dave when the solid steering wheel went through his chest, Lee was in a wheel chair for 2 years, I didn’t know the other guys but when they cut them out of the truck they were so bloody they couldn’t tell one from the other.. Bad day.

Brother in law in Arizona bought a new Raptor, I think it was the second year of production. He was 78 at the time and not a crazy driver, he just loved the acceleration is why he bought it. Anyway, the truck is a week old, he throws in 2 suitcases heads for BC to visit family. Catastrophic rear differential failure somewhere around Bellingham Washington. Warranty yes, but I think 4 days in a motel and meals in Bellingham. I think it had 2200 miles when it went tits.

Son of a friend from church got one. Wrapped it around a telephone pole within a few months. A bad first auto.

This is one of those "hold my beer, y'all gotta watch me do this" moments.

SIL has one. Maybe cool, but horrible (IMO) riding and handling. No thanks.

Good info and advice.

Thanks again.

They definitely have a cool factor, just out of my price range.

It's called the Tremor.
