What is it about this truck that makes it so, so beautiful? There is something about the design that is simple and American. Something that reaches into the lower levels of testosterone production and calls out for more. But, there is more to this simple, yet exciting design. I think it something that says, "this is all a truck needs to be", yet it provides more. Maybe it brings back memories of when trucks were trucks and not over bloated cars (I'm looking at you Honda). It's hard to put a finger on it. Simplicity like the Ranger, maybe? I don't know. #fordraptor
@FTGDWolverineEdition'09: Same here. Hauls ass and groceries. Only thing I am disappointed that it doesn't come supercharged or turbocharged. But 411hp is fine. #fordraptor
Because free wheeling a car to top speed has a real impact on real world performance right? Lets slap a 5th gear on my truck and I'll free wheel it to 170
Doesn't look quite as cool as the Audi Le Mans full-length commercial, but it will probably still be fun. It's hard to screw up a movie about Baja, since that race exudes so much awesome.
I like it when Jalop partners with other media like Pop Mech, C&D, and Pickuptrucks.com. It's really easy to get into the Jalop state of mind about cars, and bringing in the other viewpoints opens things up.
It also feels like I'm getting a lot more for the money I'm not paying to visit this site.

Otherwise, it's gonna be too "OMG Becky!" for tolerance... this preview seems overly dramatic, so, bummer...
