Sounds promising...

I bet they have tuning for it already since it is the modular motor

I'd wait for one with the 6.2L.

I love how it says they are so wide they have to put the extra marker lights on it...
Your right steve, for 40k, i would buy something else but that is a nice interior and top notch suspension for sure.

There's already 3 supercharged ones being put together in new jersey by JDMengineering. I keep eyeing up the one at the dealer across from my work. If it wasn't $40k I would be very tempted to buy one. Its bad ass looking in person.

JDM knows his shit i met him at his house in houston....i went with a friend to get his whipple lightning tuned by him

I personally think its ugly as sin, but hot damn its a bad ass truck.... 40k really isnt bad imo, hell buy that same truck in a base model...
this one comes with factory lift, 35" tires and awesome shocks, and all that stuff has a warranty

I absolutely love the Raptor....minus the expensive and silly graphics.


It's crazy how much that thing weighs. Hennessy already built a supercharged 5.4 Raptor that puts down something like 510/540. I know it's not built for the 1/4 mile, but they couldn't even break into the 13s with it. I was trying to figure out how my stock Ram was quicker than that beast, and I found out they weigh close to 6k!

How the hell did this old ass thread come up? lol

Nevermind...the 4x4 section doesn't get much action on here..:)
