Only pic I have at work. On 40's the hood was at eye level. Pic has 38"s.
11" lift. The last ticket I received, had 8 citations on it and cost $800. The local cops knew the truck very well. Ah, high school

Guy must've had it out for you.

This was my daily driver for several years, never was bothered once.

Was your GC rated to go over jumps or have development in conjunction with Fox shocks or BFG for a special tire compound? Thought so - so your argument is moot point. There are a few Raptors pulling race car trailer with rock buggies on them just fine.

Do tell how what you just said makes it a practical truck

Towing capacity is up to 8,000 pounds with a 1,770-pound payload,not bad for a truck you can go 100 in through a desert.

Where is the 1770 pay load?

Payload capacity grows 100 pounds to 1030, and the maximum tow rating jumps from 6000 to 8000 pounds.

Directly form Ford's website
Spec's it says 7500/7200 tow rating.
Max payload is 930.
Lots of people take these into the deserts and dunes. Tow your buddy's bikes, 4wheelers and buggy's, drop the trailer and go play with them

Do tell how what you just said makes it a practical truck

You are asking me to explain what makes a SVT product practical for everyday use?

It's a specialty truck, it isn't meant to haul sheet rock or a bed full of logs, it's meant for off road abuse. The lightning only had 800lbs of payload capacity... The Raptor has a purpose to go off road and be VERY capable there.

Piratical? Ask the US Border Patrol and ask them if all the Raptor they ordered are practical for their use... Just because it isn't a cookie cutter truck doesn't make it not practical, it's more practical in the desert of off road then it is hauling scrap in the bed.


Regardless, whoever buys that that truck has got to have the world's smallest penis.

[85foureyes]

why wouldnt you use diesel on something like that. that thing prob gets -5mpg. but still pretty sweet. I remember seeing that truck right after it was built at CarCraft

I'm sure I saw it there too!

Truck is NOT legal due to bumper height.
Bumper cannot be modified more than 6" to meet the 21" legal height.
IIRC. Its been 10 years since I was constantly harassed for having a truck that big

I remember reading when I lifted my jeep that the bumper height was supposed to be 25", not 21... Either way, my old F150 with 35s was well over either of those heights and I never got hassled... from the pic, I think the cops had it in for you, and/or you drove it like you were in highschool... Usually, if you're not screwing around, and you don't live in some revenue generating city (eden prairie?), they'll leave you alone...

Its 25". My 06 Dodge 2500 sits at 26 1/4" rock stock. I got tickets all the time in my 99 Dodge 2500... 10" of lift and 39's. Becuase the Dodge trucks come from the factory over legal height there is a gray area on bumper requirements. I got out of a lot of tickets because I could prove they were factory delivered over limit.

Also reciever hitches dont count as height if they drop below the bumper. The be considered a legal "bumper" it has to extend like 10" (or something) from the frame rails.


Just found this:

Subd. 4. Maximum bumper height. (a) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in
subdivision 3, bumpers required under this section shall not exceed a height of (1) 20 inches on
any passenger automobile or station wagon or (2) 25 inches on any four-wheel drive multipurpose
type vehicle, van as defined in section 168.011, subdivision 28, or pickup truck as defined in
section 168.011, subdivision 29, when the vehicle is being operated on a public highway. The
height of the bumper shall be determined by measuring from the bottom of the bumper, excluding
any vertical bumper attachments, to the ground. A vehicle which has an original bumper which
does not exceed a height of 30 inches may be modified by attaching a full width bumper to the
regular bumper to meet the height requirement. The attached bumper must be at least 4.5 inches
in vertical height, be centered on the vehicle's centerline, extend at least ten inches on either
side of the frame, and be attached to the frame in at least four places with angle braces at no
less than 45 degrees so that it effectively transfers impact to an extent equal to or greater than
the original bumper.


The underlined part I think was recently added.

That is a state law correct, not fed? It, would not make sense to me that a company would make a truck that does not conform to federal laws regarding this.
