You can see why it's not suitable for the UK, i have a VW Amarok which is ungainly enough, this would be a monster.
It seems to fit between the white lines on the road, in the pictures. So what if you take up 4 spaces in Sainsburys/Waitrose/whatever smile.

I'm amazed at the slavering worship of this heap of crap. I can only assume that most PH readers who actually appreciate good cars wouldn't read / comment on an article about the F150, and I only did so out of a grim fascination with just how gross and slobby the USA can be.

This is like a Tonka toy, a fatburger on wheels. If Donald Trump was a vehicle he'd be an F150.

They should just replace the `Ford' on the grille with `fk Off'. At least it'd be honest - as well as delighting the average redneck knuckle-dragger who drives these turdmobiles.
Bless.

Am going to test drive the new raptor in next couple of weeks. Will let you know how I get on.

It has a lot to live up to with the current one I have. I just can’t shake the V6 option out of my head, but need to test it to find out.



Also when I do come back to UK this (or it’s replacement) will definitely come back with me. Is the best “car” I’ve ever owned. Practical and fun. The flatbed gets used a lot by the way!
This ^^ Mines is modified to 700bhp with 10.8 mpg biggrin , its so much fun in most situations while still being perfectly usable as a daily driver. However I am also US based. Mines too, will be coming back to the UK with me should that occur.
I test drove the Gen 2 on and offroad, its even more capable, they just need to sort out the exhaust note from the V6, its terrible!

Funnily enough the only person I know with a Raptor also has a 599GTO...

Seems logical. The Raptor is a veritable "super car" of the pickup truck category.
