    FoMoFoCo. Ford just put the MoFo in FoMoCo. Ford appears to be making steps in the right direction. #fordraptor

    An extra 91 horses for 3 grand is a very good deal. Not to mention the extra smiles and hoonage per gallon. #fordraptor

    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

    This article illustrates why -- for all their effort-- the Japanese have never cracked the full size truck market in the US. US manufactures know their customers and are constantly innovating to fill even the smallest niches. The guy buying a work truck, knows his wants and needs; his wants are very specific, and his needs are non-negotiable. One look at the permutations of capability, color, options, power-trains (including diesels and hybrids) of the domestic vs import brands, and it is clear that Detroit will give no quarter in the full size truck business.

    I can't help but wonder how different the last three decades would have been, had Detroit had been this serious about the automobile business. #fordf150svtraptor

    In my book, Ford just surpassed themselves for ugliest grille on a production vehicle.

    First was the E-350, then the MK-whatever SUV heap-O-ugly, and recently the MKX, which is borderline caricature.

    Damnit! My picture upload isn't working, again.

    Wow, that was like reading War and Peace. Except it was Ford and MoPar.
    Both of these monsters are far removed from my daily activities, but I have a friend with a big red Super Duty and I was really impressed with its brute+creature comforts set up. What's in my future is a ratted up pre-72, most likely, but if I win the lottery, I'll definitely purchase one of these to carry my money around in. #fordf150svtraptor

    Several Years ago the Dodge Power Wagon was/is the closest I’ve ever come to owning a new vehicle, the killer for me was it was not optioned with a diesel.

    Does anyone know why there is no diesel option with the Power Wagon? #fordf150svtraptor

    @Flathead Smith: That's easy. The truck is designed as a go anywhere offroader. The Cummins would add too much weight making it the truck less capable. Not saying you can't 4 wheel in a diesel but the lighter the bette. Why doesn't NASCAR use a diesel?

    Their fair and balanced compo plays to the Ford's strengths (off road hoonage) but I'd still opt for the more useful Ram Ram. I'm one of those crazy folks who drives the truck when he needs it and something else when he doesn't. #fordf150svtraptor

    @Alfisted: "I'm one of those crazy folks who drives the truck when he needs it and something else when he doesn't. "

    That attitude is wholly un-American (and rational).

    But yeah, if I needed a truck, it would be a 2nd or 3rd vehicle, and given the choice here, I'd go for the Dodge. #fordf150svtraptor

    Easy, I'd take both. The Power Wagon for Monday-Friday, 9-5 hauling and towing. The Raptor for Saturday-Sunday mud bogging and sand-duning.

    In a perfect world, its a perfect match. #fordf150svtraptor

    @myasir: If you want something a little more subtle, you can always go with black instead of orange (or red, in this case). It tones down the grill and such as well. Also, you can check the "delete graphics" option, too. #fordf150svtraptor
